@mekkaokereke I had Ms. Becton for 6 weeks in 10th grade (we moved) but I learned how to write an essay from her. And to this day, I can't spell 'separate' without thinking of her because it was a major peeve for her when students spelled it wrong.
It was an honors class and a lot of the other students would make snide comments about her, how she dressed, how she spoke, where she lived (rumor had it she lived in a tent).
I am eternally grateful that she was willing to refresh the basics first. I had moved around a lot as a kid and while I was in the "smart classes", I missed a lot of stuff based on when a school taught them. Like I never officially learned math using decimals but I had math classes about using fractions for 3 straight semesters.
If you could somehow write your Mastodon posts directly in #Vim (or Emacs, or any text editor of your choice), that would be *very* cool. Maybe there's a way, but I don't know what it is or would be.
A bit late for #caturday but wanted to check if looping video works. This is Annie and she has things to say
Very sorry for your losses, wishing for brighter days in your future

This is why I'm drinking a Black Manhattan right now.

There’s nothing quite so permanent as a “temporary” solution
(as I nervously think of the pile of ancient shell scripts traveling in loose formation that prop up chunks of my day job)
I think yeast is a fungus, so I guess you could consider it to be plant based? (I’m certainly not an authority on plants and fungi so I’d be interested to hear what folks think)

I’m willing to be wrong, certainty often means that I don’t actually understand the problem
