Sorry, but this country fully deserves where it ends up.

I shut off all news and social media, stopped checking newspapers, TV, and podcasts, and unsubbed from all politics and news mailing lists and communities. Told family and friends and they’re being cool about it.

Dove into 60’s detective novels. Anything by Ross Thomas, Donald Westlake, and Lawrence Block. Have stocked up on at least a year’s worth of out-of-print epubs. Will reevaluate once they run out. Mixed with a lot of outdoor walks.

It’s been glorious.

413 is amateur hour.

1000 charge cycles. If you charge twice a week, that’s 500 weeks or a little less than 10 years. There’s no mention of degradation over time.

But back-of-the-napkin, it means for this to be cost-effective, they may want to come up with some sort of replaceable or battery swap system. Not sure anyone will want to buy a vehicle that needs a massive battery retrofit every 8-10 years.

There’s no real value to any of it.

Attach free beer to point levels and watch this thing explode.

Obligatory:

Have only seen short clips and not once found it funny, but since you asked…

There should be a Shakespeare play with that plot.

Ask about ‘Independent Study’ from your faculty adviser. If you don’t have one, go to your Department head. If you don’t have that, ask the Registrar.

Independent Study means you get to propose your own coursework and, if approved, get to do it and get credit for it. You still have to deal with faculty supervision but the subject is specific to you. Think about what you would love to learn and propose a way to get there.

Sheesh. How often do you need to reach for the power button? It’s got solid state storage. Just flip it on its damn side and stop whinging.

Cool stuff. But not enough delta to be worth an upgrade from a year-old M3.

This is pretty sad.

I have a number of elderly relatives. The one thing I keep telling them is if they ever get approached, to contact their kids, or check with another family member before responding. So far, there haven’t been any problems.

But I heard an in-law’s parents in a different state lost a big chunk of money to one of these scams and may now lose their home.

Just wait. It’ll all work out fine.

That looks awesome!

A few tips, based on what has worked in our local libraries:

• A story-reading space where parents or caregivers can bring infants and toddlers to listen to books being read outloud. Librarians, parents, and volunteers take turns as book readers. Hugely popular. Absolutely packed them in. One branch even built a hand-painted replica of the “Goodnight Moon” set.

• A separate, private space for nursing mothers.

• If the budget allows it, a phone charging station.

• Space for common government forms. Applications for welfare, disability, voter, and tax forms. If you can get volunteers to help, even better.

• Was going to mention tools, but see you already have it. In ours, you can check out shovels, saws, wrench sets, gardening tools, etc, to take home for a few days. It got so popular they had to move into their own space.

We love our local libraries.

Not a WP dev. Just a (techie) user.

This whole thing seems so unnecessary. FOSS devs would love to get a fraction of the goodwill being squandered here.

• Any work or study done during an all-nighter is a waste.

• If you meet someone and all they do is talk about themselves, they won’t be a good friend.

• Nobody really cares how you look or what you wear. And anyone who does has bigger issues they would rather not deal with.
