I couldn't find a good reference diagram of the relationships between #Python types, so a while ago I made one.
Aw c’mon lads this is awesome!!
Just look at those wholesome ingredients!
#Glenisk Rich Dark Cherry
Thanks for the follow! 😎
Can you see what's happening here? I go to import BookService mistakenly as it has no default export. VSC finds the named export, books, and swaps it in with the correct path. Awesome!
Wait, I think it’s the same video re-circulating. Looks live in some versions. Have watched a couple hours before.
Need to play catch-up on the congressional hearings on #UAP whistleblowers. Sounds like they’re summing up today. Thoughts, anyone at all?

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.
#Netflix Manifest S1:E13 and suddenly there’s a cave. A wormhole-y time cave. Is this turning into Dark?

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.

Mo Gawdat, “Scary Smart”:
“If we managed to connect your brain to a bunch of flies so they could use all your intelligence to find the next pile of garbage, would you spend the rest of your life proudly serving their needs?”
Rhetorical I guess..

Apropos of nothing, I've always imagined blockchains as looking like some kind of brutalist/Borg jenga tower.
Vegan Omega-3s. Niiiice….
