Good to know that a Stetson University law degree isn’t worth the paper its printed on.

“I’ll come back when Trump is in jail, and the GOP are not in office”

Mcnamara is 10% Jewish. Lupton himself is a self-proclaimed zionist. So I’m not at all surprised to see him taking this stance.

As is typical of people in his station. Opposing the genocide of the Palestinian people in the hunt for Hamas is interpreted to mean that the party is anti-semitic. Supporting the Palestinian people means supporting Hamas and therefore is violent, tyrannical, misogynist, anti-gay and racist.

Must be nice living in such a black and white world.

Deck. Competitors try to cram more power, but miss out on ergonomics.

The trackpads are essential imo

After industries had already spent billions to implement it? There’s little to be gained by repealing it. Initial investment has been made, now it’s just operational costs. Yes, new businesses still have to cop it, but they don’t have to go through the 5 years of figuring out how to interpret the GDPR legislation as the rest of us have already done that heavy lifting. Cutting GDPR now would just be a step back on a competitive advantage/moat that sets EU orgs apart from American (or the rest of the world)

Anyone else get filled with rage when you see Dutton up on TV spouting nothing to the camera? Yes, people are doing it hard. But just saying that they’re doing it hard is worth nothing. What are your policies? You can say you can manage the economy effectively. How mother fucker? HOW?

Utterly vapid gasbagging from an utterly vapid potato.

Bring it on America. I do love seeing you punch yourself in the face.

Atelier Yumia. Then i’ll go back to FF7 Rebirth. But the piano minigame is rage inducing. So maybe i’ll abandon Rebirth for a bit and pick up Ryza

Under 5 ingredients? Farikal.

3 kg lamb meat 3 kg cabbage 8 tsp whole, black peppercorns 4 tsp salt 600 ml water

That’s 5 ingredients. Including salt, pepper and water. As an asian, I was dubious about this, but it packs and amazing amount of flavour from so few ingredients. Serve with baked/boiled/mashed potatoes, or bread, and a cold beer.

Any Americans working for these companies? https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/26184

Guess i’m adding Sony Pictures America (as part of the MPAA) to the boycott list. Forgot about them since I thought they were Japanese.

And we’ve got NordVPN, Mozilla, Rakuten, and Samsung as part of the CCIA. So they’re out too.

And then everyone in the CTA. https://members.cta.tech/cta-member-directory

And a masterpiece was made because of it

Tired inner gamer. The original AC got boring for me. Just lots of repetitive uncreative climbing to complete collections. They they came out with Uplay with AC2 and i keep going back to “is this game worth creating an account and giving up my personal information to play, when there are multiple other games available with a better value proposition for my time, money, and privacy?”

The answer (for ubisoft) is invariably no. So i’ve effectively been on an unintentional Ubisoft boycott since 2008 since i refuse to create an account.

Like this lass?

Proton. Because i know how to read, and people had twisted the CEOs words completely beyond what was written. Reading ‘and’ comprehension folks. Try to build both skills.

A bit of an unusual suggestion, but i’ve replaced Excel with Python. I deal with large datasets anyway, so Python was arguably a better fit for what i do.

Packages to check out to see what is possible…

• Streamlit = easy UIs, dashboards, and tables.
• Pandas = dataframe handling, excel, csv ingestion
• Numpy/Scipy = math
• Sqlalchemy/pyodbc = DB connectivity
• xlsxwriter = writing out to exls
• DuckDB = in-memory joins/transformations locally between dataframes using SQL. Basically all the power of a relational DB without a DB server.
• Plotly = graphing

Everything is in text files. Scripts are version controlled in git. Calcs happen super fast. I spend more time transferring data from DBs than waiting for the calcs to finish.

Hmm… the way i’ve taught it is biomechanical in nature.

I assume you are pressing the brakes using your toes. You’ll want to switch to using the middle of your foot. Specifically, plant your ankle up as close as possible to the brake pedal, and keep it planted there. To brake, you pivot on the ankle. This should give you more control to apply gradual pressure on the pedal.

Awesome. Planning to pick up Lumia as my first Atelier game. Played the demo on Steam Deck and was surprised how well it ran. Glad that it seems like a good place to start

After a few days of these, the format is growing on me.

In the words of the Liberal party… “If you don’t know. Vote No!” So kindly f-off Mr Potato-head.
