If you are making slides with lots of individual graphical components to them and are NOT grouping those components together, YOU are part of the problem.

The correct number of computer monitors is the number you have +1.

My mindset has switched to spring (or at least spring skiing). So of course today brings us 10 new inches. #skiing

something about being judged by those around me for the websites I am visiting.

Yes, I use a VPN, but the prying eyes of others...

Something that brings out the worst in humanity:

Grown ups at an airport lounge. Free food and alcohol should not be underestimated as a bad combination in the 20+ crowd.

Hot take:

If you have to call your dog more than, say, twice before they respond, then they are not actually under voice control and should be on a leash. And maybe even less than that.

Holy shit – the judge freezing use of abortion pills nation wide is citing the Comstock Act as a reason not to allow mailing mifepristone. The fucking Comstock Act. As if the Comstock Act wasn’t overturned by a Supreme Court decision nearly 60 years ago.

If we’re going to start enforcing the Comstock Act again, shit is going to get really weird guys. I mean really, really weird. The USPS is going to be opening your shit to go through it to make sure there is nothing “lewd or lascivious”, “immoral” or “indecent”. Just wait until you hear who gets to decide if your mail is immoral or not…

Having a tween girl is really hard. Hormones, friendships imploding, classes. How did any of us survive?

One of my neighbors decided to bed down with us last night.

Hot take:

A CV is NOT a resume. A resume is a 1-2 page description of your work and educational experience. A CV (curriculum vitae) is used by academics to document all of their research, publications, courses taught, doctoral students graduated, and grants awarded. These are tens to even a few hundreds of pages long.

Stop calling your resume a CV!

@BianchiWeather It's a bit chilly here right now in Breck. Time to put on a sweater.

A good percentage of my friends are Nazis. That percentage is zero; that’s a good percentage of Nazi friends to have.

For insisting that the left is a bunch of "snowflakes," the long list that the right is scared of is truly depressing:

-LGBTQIA+
-POC
-drag queens
-women
-non-Christians
-non-English speakers
-immigrants
-antifa
-children's books
-Rennaisance art
-electric cars
-Boogey Man (why else would you need to carry guns everywhere?)
-zombie apocalypse (see above)

... Just to name a few.

After all that at least it did upgrade my Python for me. Seems like the least it could do!

@arrdem I love classic wooden teardrops! Unfortunately the towing capacity on my car isn't great.

... And then I did a restore and lost my apps.

But now the OS has at least finally identified it needs an upgrade.

And all I was hoping to do was to try and work on my portfolio today! 😭

Oh yeah.

It started because I was trying to use the streamlit profiler only to discover that there was a known error with it and Python 3.9.7. Not remembering I hadn't upgraded to 3.10, I started that process only to realize that apt no longer worked because it was pointing at 21.10. and then the OS upgrade portion of @pop_os_official couldn't identify any distro upgrades. And then the instructions on the website didn't work. And I rebooted and terminal stopped working ...
