Me: Oh, resources to do with creation and the environment, could be useful!

Me,10 minutes later: OMG, what did I just read?!?
I am begging #Episcopalians to just be normal. There is no need to re-write the Creed, the Words of Institution or the Our Father! Making out that environmentalism is incompatible with orthodox #Christianity is not helping!

I am *SO* sick of joining #Discord Servers for everything and anything.

I do NOT want to join your server of 400+ people I *do not know* and have no desire to talk to because you wouldn't link me your GitHub or site directly or put necessary information in your README for a thing I just want to download and use.

Please, for the love of Celestia STOP doing this. IF your server gets deleted, that information is GONE. If Discord shuts down, that information is GONE. If someone doesn't want to join a 400+ person chat room, they're SCREWED. PLEASE STOP.

You people know that there are limits to the number of servers people can JOIN right?!

Sweet Luna's Moon! Seriously, just make an RSS Feed..! Put up an info page on GitHub Pages, it's FREE.

I miss forums you could browse without an account

Please... please... #StopDiscordCentralization

@Hypx taking a pickup truck on a cross-country trip is an incredibly stupid idea. Having a ranch truck that can charge of the same circuit that runs your well pump and never having to drive 50 miles to fill up the tank is a great idea. #EV ranch equipment that can not only charge on site, but can also act as a mobile power source capable of running a MIG welder is a fantastic idea. Having a truck that cost less than half as much per mile as a ICE truck that is a real win.

Few non-programmers know that less than 10% of a programmer’s productive time is spent actually writing code. A typical programmer actually spends around 70% of their working day desperately Googling to try to find the answers, while the remaining 20% is taken up closing all the tabs they opened.

Get to know a Gen Xer.

Sit beside them and learn their stories, of wall-mounted phones with long extension cords and going to the airport gate unticketed without passing through security.

Listen with them as they delight in the music of their youth, the songs that only they now keep alive — the songs of Cyndi, and both Eddies, and Dave.

Very soon the last Gen Xer will be passing from this realm to the next, and then they will belong to the ages. Get to know one now — before it’s too late.

It is getting harder to recommend that anybody come work for my company. Last week the EH&S team tried to force people that were using personal or rented vehicles to transport company equipment to go through training about Defensive Driving Small Vehicles. Holy crap these people are out of touch. Lawyers drive this company now and not reasonable people.

You get to the end of the course you are teaching and students conclude it was a waste of time. How do you respond?

This is HUGE.

"The National Labor Relations Board ruled Tuesday that employers can no longer demand laid-off employees avoid publicly disparaging the company as part of their severance agreements, nor can they stop affected employees from disclosing the terms of their exit packages. Doing so, the federal agency determined, would be a violation of the laid-off employees’ rights under the National Labor Relations Act."

Periodic PSA!

I use lots of graph paper, so I made a LaTeX template to print my own. It was so handy that @duetosymmetry and I turned it into a LaTeX package.

There are various grid styles (graph, quadrille, hex, iso, dot grid, etc), and both custom and pre-defined color schemes.

Use it to easily print your own paper, or to make pdf page templates for your favorite tablet note-taking app. I use them with GoodNotes & Notability.
