@cyberlyra ‘keener’ also a sort of affectionate word, as opposed to “geek” or “nerd” which was a (now-reclaimed) insult.

Right now I’m off to see my 5-year-old nephew play in his hockey tournament. I want to be a supportive uncle, but I find something a bit chilling when groups of five-year-olds are pitted against one another.

@afewbugs Great thread. I think sometimes about how many thousands of lives are saved every day by the cleaning staff at hospitals, but they never get recognition for it, since Preventing a Terrible Thing isn’t nearly as exciting as Fixing Terrible Thing (that maybe could have been prevented)
