The fact that 6 out of the 8 top GOP presidential candidates on stage last night in Milwaukee would still vote for and support Donald Trump even if he is a convicted felon, even if found guilty beyond a reason sable doubt by a jury of ordinary red-leaning citizens in his own backyard of Florida, shows you how far the GOP has fallen. It is nothing more than a cult of Trump.

I couldn't find a good reference diagram of the relationships between #Python types, so a while ago I made one.

I'm now the proud owner of a Commodore Amiga A500! It's absolutely filthy and feels disgusting to the touch, but a good project to have.

I haven't tried to power it on yet, but as far as I can tell everything is there, what it needs more than anything is a really good clean.

There is a little damage in spots on the casing, especially the top left, but it's part of its story. If anything, it makes me want to restore it even more the poor thing.

I was woken up by an SVT heart racing incident at 01:20 this morning. Rate was 133 bpm as recorded by Apple Watch. I did the MVM* at 01:25 and this stopped it. Rate dropped to 78 bpm.

Data in Apple Health shows the high rate started about 00:50. See pic.
