Stone walls do not a prison make,
Nor iron bars a cage:
Minds innocent and quiet take
That for an hermitage.
If I have freedom in my love,
And in my soul am free,
Angels alone, that soar above,
Enjoy such liberty.

-- To Althea, from prison (last stanza only)

@freemo @valleyforge @realcaseyrollins I been waiting for the body cam too. It still feels like a gray situation to me. I'm sure the footage exists, they just don't want it released, like with #GeorgeFloyd.

@realcaseyrollins Come on now that a load of crap and you know it. Jacob walked away slowly and got into a car, thats it, he had no gun, he made no threats, he just walked away slowly.

There was plenty of time to tackle him, plenty of ways to handle the situation. There was no justification to shoot, even less of a justification to shoot him in the back, and absolutely no reason to unload a whole clip.

Jacob Blake forcefully resisted and fought police officers (for the second time). Kyle Rittenhouse surrendered himself to authorities. This is why ...

Been tinkering with this scilab thing for almost a week now. The system seems to work well, yet i still have zero clue about the correlation between PID and Plant . Well, hope the best for the presentation tomorrow.

Interesting, `date` seems to support dates with ambiguous three-letter offsets, though it's unclear how it decides to disambiguate them. Looks like "IST" defaults to "India Standard Time":

$ TZ=UTC date --iso=m --date="Thu Aug 27 12:34:56 AM IST 2020"

@Gargron Did you guys remove the mastodon directory from joinmastodon website? I dont see it there anymore.

Just realized workaround is a phonetic auto-antonym

workaround - a shortcut to avoid work

work a round - to do a round of work

Auto-antonyms are my new favorite thing :)

Just as when you have a fair race the top 1% of the competitors will have a better than double the completion time than the average. So to with a fair economy would you expect the top 1% best investors to own 50% of the market.

These aren't hallmarks of inequality, they are hallmarks of equality.

Man I wish i could get my hands on some YBCO wire, that would be sooo cool!
