@inmysocks Localhost does some special stuff, apparently. I'm not exactly sure of the details but a library I used recently warned of dangerous side effects if you used localhost in production.

@slashzero They're right here: https://www.yelp.com/biz/mirabella-italian-restaurant-voorhees-township

They used to be up on 70 (in Barclay Square, where there is a really good Lebanese place). Not sure how long they've been in this location; they have big high-backed booths along one wall where they just have tables in their website picture so I don't know if that means "long enough to remodel" or what. 🤷♀️

I am surprised it hasn't shown up on any of the Top 25 Italian In South Jersey type lists, but I guess even a full-time food reporter can't hit *every* Italian restaurant in SJ.

@slashzero That's literally what arrabbiata means, IIRC. 🌶️=😡 apparently?

Also son had spaghetti arrabbiata and was too full of bread and salad and stuff to even touch it, so he had it for leftovers. "This is really good but I did not know it was going to be spicy!"

Dude you ordered "angry pasta" what did you expect?

I didn't know eggplant had breast meat but whatever, it was good. ("Tomato sauce" is a modest understatement; it was the best marinara I have ever had.)

"I am ready to be mailed to Wichita."

@gemlog You may be onto something.

I do not understand this product combination. Bookcase cabinet doors and keyboards, two great tastes that... what?

@deaduncledave There are a few quilting shops that have ancillary dealerships that I guess are okay, but they also tend to deal only in high-end machines.

I just want a cheap used entry-level embroidery machine. There have gotta be a ton gathering dust in closets, why is no one putting any on Craigslist?

I tell you what, sewing machine dealerships are what skeevy businessmen open when they don't have enough money to open a car dealership.

@avolkov Oh? I haven't actually unpacked what I got, but just assumed based on someone else complaining about the amount of stuff that was just hotlinked back to live Twitter.

@gemlog There are services like TweetDelete.com, or various DIY scripts, that will do it for you.

If I were still actively tweeting, I'd be inclined to start flagging ephemeral posts.

"Dorsey said he was experimenting with features that would promote alternative viewpoints in Twitter’s timeline"

I see no way this could go wrong

@avolkov Yep, that's what I referred to in the second paragraph. I'm retrieving/saving the json version of each tweet, and archiving the media before deleting each one. (Otherwise I'd just use TweetDelete.com and be done with it.)

It's still going to be a problem for the second account, which is linked to a GMail account which apparently eats the verification emails (despite the fact that I do get the "login from a new computer" notifications there). No archive without verification.

Ah ha. Apparently Twitter only exposes the last two years of tweets via the (non-Premium) API. I knew there was a limit, but I thought it was "most recent N tweets" and since its own website was showing no tweets I figured it was a database reconciliation issue.

Which means I guess I need to modify my script to use the downloaded archive to retrieve each tweet's data individually (which still works; the two-year limit is for timeline requests) and then delete it. Cool.

@ivanvector Birch shield bug? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elasmostethus_interstinctus

Tinycar: 16yo, 230K miles, most expensive repair has been when it sat outdoors in a week of 107-degree temps and a $600 computer fried.

Van: 13yo, 95K miles, has had a valve gasket replacement, drive belt/tensioner replacement, and now is in imminent need of a $700 radiator, all in six months.

<points at car, yells at van> WHY CAN'T YOU BE MORE LIKE YOUR OLDER SIBLING, HUH?
