On Thursday May 22, I'll be giving my newest talk "eXtreme Programming - The Knowledge We Lost" at Coven Of Wisdom Herentals. I'm going to discuss the origins and core practices of eXtreme Programming. The meetup will be hosted at the iO offices in Herentals. For more information, check out the website:

Hope to see you there!
Lots of #arsenal fans must be speculating on the impact of red cards and penalties on our season
Here is a list of pens for and against and red cards for the current top 5, the points calculation is a highly unscientific assessment of the impact of these decisions. Clearly #afc should be 2 points clear of Liverpool with everything to play for #coyr #xp #youcandoanythingwithnumbers

Quick guess at short, medium & long term effects of US tariffs on trading partners:
Short - US consumers pay the cost in increased prices until US producers/importers establish alternative supply chains
Medium - US business & consumer complaints force Trump to renegotiate with trading partners, claiming small concessions as major gains
Long - 4 years are up and new president scraps most of the tariffs
Very long - a few new factories are built but with US labor costs, prices remain high
the post about heaven issuing retaliatory ass tariffs against the US was no joke lol.
its been raining hard nonstop since this morning and our pumps weren't working properly so our house is flooding again.
noah's ark level bullshit mfw #xp

Maria Milanović et al. (2025) Successful alien plant species exhibit functional dissimilarity from natives under varied climatic conditions but not under increased nutrient availability. Journal of Vegetation Science 36: e70032. https://doi.org/10.1111/jvs.70032
Alien and native species increasing in their abundance did not differ in their leaf traits. We found significantly lower specific leaf area (SLA) with an increase in mean annual temperature and lower leaf Potassium with mean annual precipitation. For trait–environment relationships, when compared to native species, successful aliens exhibited an increase in leaf Phosphorus and a decrease in leaf Potassium with an increase in mean annual precipitation. Finally, aliens' SLA decreased in plots with higher mean annual temperatures.

Tonight, we will be streaming another pixelated indie game in a dystopic cyberpunk universe where girls are augmented with weapons far larger than they are and must face off against hordes of angry robots.
That's right, we're streaming Sentinel Girls! #vtuber #envtuber #vtuberuprising #xp
Mfw Discord is essentially once again trying the Steam route, except this time they might succeed, just not as a game retailer, but as... everything else?
It's basically what Facebook was for millennials back in the early 2000's. Everyone used it, until they didn't. #xp
Hell, in retrospect... a huge, early plot point in my debut novel, Fadeout, is that the first protagonist was so disgusted with their actions as an officer of the Protectorate Navy that they semi-faked their own death- and wiped out their identity, all the way down to their gender.
Some of the crew get confused over who or what they are and eventually just take to calling them "the Captain."
Another character is a cis, heterosexual, tomboyish woman who is so mistreated by fellow crewmen on her previous ship that she feels like she's forced to crossdress as a boy to avoid it.
At the time I wrote my first incredibly cringey draft of what would later become my main fictional universe, and the subject of tens of thousands of words, I still identified as a heterosexual cis male.
Now I'm a bisexual, nonbinary femboy.
How things change...
