Streaming some casual Theros Sealed: https://www.twitch.tv/twitchyroy #twitch #gaming #mtg Stream lasted 2+ hours, but I finally managed to 7-2 a sealed, even with a crappy pool!

Wow, Duelyst is shutting down: https://duelyst.com/news/farewell-duelyst. I played a few hundred hours of this (Review: https://roytang.net/2017/02/review-duelyst/). Pretty good game, but there's a big learning curve and each game can take some time. Hope it can come back in some form in the future.
@Westraid happy lunar new year!

It's hard to be so responsible
@mlq3 @enjoyGLOBE ah also, there are plans that are unli data, but are more expensive for the same speed (I opted to get the cheaper one and live with the cap.)
@mlq3 @enjoyGLOBE no, there's a mobile app, I bought the data boost through there when I realized I had ran out. When I hit the limit I initially thought it was a network problem, only realized I had hit the limit by checking the app @mlq3 @enjoyGLOBE
@mlq3 @enjoyGLOBE There is a bandwidth cap depending on your plan (mine is 600gb at P999 i think), speeds get throttled if you go past. There's also options to buy small data boosts, I used one the one time I exceeded the limit

In the Philippines we have both people complaining that scientists didnt warn early enough about the volcano erupting and also people saying we shouldn't listen to scientists’ “opinion” because they're “not god”. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
2020 Movie no. 15: Parasite - “Really good, but IDK how to begin to describe it. Worth overcoming the 1 inch subtitle barrier for.” https://roytang.net/lists/2020/movies/

RT if you’ve been making web things so long you remember the days that Firefox didn’t exist 😁😂🙈 Quoted bphogan's tweet:
RT if you’ve been making web things so long you remember the days when you had to download Firebug so you could have a web console.
Wow. What a game changer that was.
Good morning!

I wrote about how as a kid I hid behind McDonald's instead of embracing my Filipino heritage for @GENmag.

#CrisisOnInfiniteEarths spoiler free review: low budget, pacing and writing issues, but idc because all the dc comics fan service kept making me smile
I still dont understand why they needed Ryan Choi for #CrisisOnInfiniteEarths lol
Obviously it's all scary and everyone should take care etc, and not to belittle the danger, but people have token some really good pictures of this eruption
Quoted ABSCBNNews's tweet:
Streaks of lightning blazed through columns of ashes amid #TaalVolcano eruption as seen from Nasugbu, Batangas on Sunday evening. Photo from Domcar Lagto, ABS-CBN News
more pics of the eruption
Quoted itskyylliieee's tweet:
This is the original picture tho guys: please don’t be frightened I just edited the pics at VSCO
Also the pics aren’t taken by me btw (credits to whoever person taken it) I just edited the pics and put an additional prayer.
I did my regular backup of my Google data, it was 38GB split into 2GB chunks and one of the chunks was just this 15-min video I shared from the PS4. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vf1JUqYd0ZA Maybe I should be glad I haven't used the feature too much.
Witnessed the most amazing thing on the train to Edinburgh yesterday. A guy boarded in Wigan & sat opposite me. He went to sleep for an hour.
When he woke up he bought a sandwich, ate it & went back to sleep. (This isn’t a maths test, you don’t need to know the distance/speed).

DAE stare at the showerhead as you turn it on, hoping to catch a glimpse of that moment when the water bursts through those tiny holes
@momblogger Does the administration even have any published, measurable objectives for this drug war, to be used as basis for measuring success? If they only measure success by approval rate, then it's just a war of propaganda.
I reinstalled and logged in to MTGO after the longest time. The interface has changed but unsurprisingly is still pretty bad

Trying to justify poor performance with approval ratings is a tacit admission that your goal was window-dressing all along and not actually doing your job. Let the people approve because you did the thing, not because you tricked them into thinking you did. Quoted gideonlasco's tweet:
The police and the government should stop using approval ratings to justify their failures.
Beyond legitimate questions about the valditity of some opinion surveys, popularity is a poor substitute for truth or justice.
