A re- #introduction :

Hi! I'm Ryan, people call me Wally or Fire Wally, He/Him.

I like riding #bikes and post a bit about bike maintenance, have a cute #dog and #cat. Interested in politics in the #TwinCities, #YIMBY and #BanCars - adjacent. Sometimes do a bit of #Cooking or #baking

Professionally I work in the #CivicTech sector on a #NodeJS #TypeScript #React webapp, #OpenSource and #OpenData are neat.

Playing around with self-hosted music streaming again and Navidrome's "Random Albums" view is exactly what I've wanted out of every music player since like... MusicMatch Jukebox. My dumb brain wants an album but can't decide which! Thank you!

Let's hope the quick wordle is portentious of the tricky code problem I need to solve today

You'd think after however many years of doing this they'd fix something so my "Top 5 songs" aren't just the first 5 tracks on an album I really liked.

"Lucifer on the Sofa" was a good album though!

Not usually much of a "black friday deals" guy, but the company that made my Good Hoodie offered a substantial discount if I bought 2 so now I have 3 Good Hoodies, which seems sensible enough

There are functionally 4 categories: 22, 30, 43, 60 minutes.

You don't have to end on the dot like on broadcast TV but I think shows are better when they stick in their category

Particularly, double-long episodes of dramas are annoying and usually of no benefit

The proliferation of streaming formats has given me a surprisingly strong set of opinions about the proper length of an episode of a "TV Show"

@alex I can't find the post right now but I referenced your "Gomez should be hot" take while we started up the show, and 10 minutes in my wife interjects "Yeah, Gomez should be hot"

Feels like my "time spent vs. number of guesses" chart would be a totally random plot
