Happy Sunday!

I think people aren't desk-jockeying on weekends so the need for weekend DBDs is minimal.

Still getting used to checking in here. Glad for the rain today, but there go my plans to clean up the yard. Tomorrow sorority tea at my house. If there are any Phi Mus out there in the Cal blogosphere hit me up.

The good news is that I can lose track of comments in a whole new post!

"What’s the DBD?

Short for ‘Daily Bear Dump,’ the DBD is a post that goes up every weekday, and it’s the place for readers to talk about . . . well, just about whatever they want. True, the community guidelines still apply, but this is a great place to share an interesting link, plan your next tailgate, or otherwise hang out with your Cal and Cal-adjacent friends."

Thank you for that. Congrats on making lemonade from the lemons of uncertainty and abrupt change.

I look at the DBD on my laptop and the key seems to be to keep the tab open forever. During the day comments and replies have been keeping in order. But if I close the tab and reopen it the next day comments are all out of order and things I've already read show up as new replies.

I've been keeping the last DBD open for a day so I've got 2 open at once. When I open the newest I close the one from 2 days ago.

yes, it seems to reorder top-level comment threads by how recently that thread was commented on. it's certainly an...odd...choice.

And for some reason some of the comments I've already read shows up as new replies. I did notice that if a new comment shows up while the tab is open I can use "new repl" to search for it but reopening a DBD shows all new comments as "1 reply" or "X replies" so the search is different
