It's really cool that Thonny is Estonian. Those Estonians really got it going on. I looked into their e-citizenship program at one time because I thought it would be fun, but then realized I'd be setting myself up for all manner of tax unpleasantness, so I wound up not doing it.

@SrRochardBunson This is an oil lamp that has been in my family for generations. No one else wanted to worry about breaking the globe, so I guess I'm responsible. I'm not a collector but I treasure the one I have. My mom would remove the globe and hide it whenever children came to visit.

A grown man with a tie tack shaped like an assault rifle is trying to convince Lauren Boebert to give Kevin McCarthy the gavel on a day with yet another shooting in an American mall.

Welcome to 2023.

My Leuchtterm was supposed to arrive today and I've been doing my finger exercises all day in preparation for the first impressions you'd asked me to pass along to you. What I got was an empty shipping envelope instead. Nothing is simple, nothing is easy. 🙄

If at first I don't succeed, fail, fail again.

Ordered another immediately and will see about the refund details on the morrow. Sorry for the delay; didn't want you to think I'd rudely forgotten you. 😉

I am still trying to get the hang of how everything works here, and there are probably like 1,000 of you that I am not following yet but should be. Reply to this post, like this post, or just send me a DM if you would like me to follow you back.

I am generally ok with following anyone as long as they aren't racist, sexist, transphobic, or ableist. Any one of those is a deal-killer.

Matt Gaetz, who is under investigation for sex trafficking, just nominated Jim Jordan, who is accused of covering up sexual abuse, for Speaker of the House.

This is the Republican Party.

Sometimes, concept to reality is a long journey. But it is beautiful thing, when things come together.

Here is a lounge chair I built lately, to sit and watch the weather change outside my window. Maybe it needs a matching ottoman? Let me know what you think of it.

Albuquerque Democratic officials' homes, offices targeted in series of shootings : NPR

Interesting: if you look at the timeline, it appears the shooter(s) took time off for the holidays.

By the way, Southwest blew $5.6 billion on stock buybacks in the past few years.

They could have made investments in their services and infrastructure.

They could have prepared for extreme weather events.

But no. They decided to enrich their shareholders.

Some of my favorite things are #dotnet , #Metal music, #Football and especially #juventus and #maccabihaifa and #gaming in general, esp. CRPGs.
Also an aspiring weeb who still watches #onepiece after so many years.

Even the FBI recommend blocking Ads

Using Ad-blockers is one way

Doing it at aggregation points is another

Or, just don't clock Ads. I cannot recall ever clicking an Ad

While we know that the degeneration of dopamine neurons causes Parkinson's disease, we still don't know why those neurons degenerate.

One intriguing idea is that these neurons are particularly sensitive because their dendritic arbors are absolutely HUGE. Each neuron has 1 million terminal release sites, and operates under an extremely tight energy budget.
