@drandrewthaler.bsky.social20 instant challenges in the top hopper. Another two dozen in the bottom hopper of increasing difficulty. As they clear out the top we refill from the bottom and the challenges get harder and harder.

@drandrewthaler.bsky.socialI find it super annoying that after months of "nobody knew DUMB has a B in it until I showed up" he spells it Dumocrats when Dumbocrats is an objectively funnier word. No innate sense of humor whatsoever. The man does not understand Joke.
@drandrewthaler.bsky.socialNext week I'm running a low-cost oceanographic sensor workshop at Woods Hole, so today I am packing OpenCTDs. Amazing how far this little project has come in the last 10 years.
@drandrewthaler.bsky.socialThank you! ☺️☺️☺️
