"Excuse me, do you have any Thai basil?"
"I'm sorry?"

Congrats to @xdamman and @burtherman on their new adventures. Doing great things for information & the world. https://storify.com/burtherman/starting-a-new-chapter
@suchprettyeyes Definitely. Episode 1 and the burnout episode should be required listening, so that's awesome!
@xor A modern, podcast equivalent of Howard Zinn's People's History would be a powerful thing.

@chrismessina I'm not anti-db, clearly. But @bmann is right: shouldn't have to sysadmin. We have a service. Sandstorm etc have promise.
@chrismessina Looong answer to this. Self hosting should be as easy as installing an app. It isn't right now. @kevinmarks @erinjo
@kylewm2 I feel exactly the same way! Older but also recommended: Short Term 12.
I'm calling it: I've earned a night off. Do I watch an Oscar-nominated movie, do I find a really good drama, or something else?
