Note, the poll option "But the senate didnt vote yet" was a booby option to see how many people understand the fact that the impeachment vote is over, final, and done. The senate doesnt ever vote on impeachment.

Has a police "wellness check" for a person with mental health challenges ever actually helped that person? I'll grant at least one instance has happened. What's the ratio though?

How do you feel about the fact that Trump has now officially been impeached?

So looks like the goblin python project is either dead or slow moving. I think i may need to fork the project and revive it...

Some of my absolute favorite Tolkein quotes:

“A man that flies from his fear may find that he has only taken a short cut to meet it.” -- The Children of Hurin

“If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.”

“I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.
"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.” -- The Fellowship of the Ring

“A single dream is more powerful than a thousand realities.”

"Deserves it! I daresay he does. Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement. For even the very wise cannot see all ends.” -- The Fellowship of the Ring

“What do you fear, lady?" [Aragorn] asked.
"A cage," [Éowyn] said. "To stay behind bars, until use and old age accept them, and all chance of doing great deeds is gone beyond recall or desire.” -- Return of the King

“Fantasy is escapist, and that is its glory. If a soldier is imprisioned by the enemy, don't we consider it his duty to escape?. . .If we value the freedom of mind and soul, if we're partisans of liberty, then it's our plain duty to escape, and to take as many people with us as we can!”

“But I have been too deeply hurt, Sam. I tried to save the Shire, and it has been saved, but not for me. It must often be so, Sam, when things are in danger: some one has to give them up, lose them, so that others may keep them.” -- The Return of the King

I need more dogs in my life. I am tempted to make friends with some more people who have dogs, but then I'd be obligated to hang out with the human too, no thanks!

Good morning everyone. I went to bed last night with a breakthrough. Finally got python's Goblin module working on the Janus GraphDB just moments before bed.

I'm super excited because that means the full tech stack is in place. full docker-compose environment, full integration tests. Everything I need for a perfect environment to start developing this project for real now!

First post!
Decided to try social media again, so here's an illustration of the perfection of six. A perfect number is the sum of its positive dividers i.e. 6 = 1+2+3.
