is really a curse.

It keeps , no matter how much effort you put on it.

Then I decided to create an archive for "all the things I will never be able to do."

Well, guess what... That's more work.

So, I decided to quit and keep doing as usual - meaning, indefinitely some things *I should do*.

But I'm really about how you're dealing with this. 😅

Thank you mastodon people. You just made me win a dinner.
When I told my friend I was going to post this here she asked me not to do it, because "it would start a war". So, I bet with her a proper dinner (not pizza or burgers) that this post would have 2 comments or less. :blobhappy: :kirby_happy: 😋

"The promiscuity between banks and tax administrations is now so complete and shameless that they no longer are able to hide it."
(quoting a journalist friend of mine)

My comment was: "As I see it, money as debt can only be advantageous to the creditors, right?"

Disclaimer 1: I'm not an economist, I only took two semester courses in economics during the first two years of my undergraduate degree.

Disclaimer 2: It is not my wish to start a discussion about 'capitalism' vs 'socialism'. 😅

The #BBC Proms is underway and French horn player Felix Klieser will be making his debut on August 2 playing Mozart's Horn Concerto No. 4. The German virtuoso performer was born without arms, so he plays the instrument with his left foot. He spoke to the BBC's Access All podcast about his exceptional career.

Human beings, vegetables or cosmic dust, we all dance to a mysterious tune, intoned in the distance by an invisible piper.'

I still need to add some short blurbs about each chapter, but here's the website for Exploring Graph Theory With Julia, complete with my lazily-designed temporary cover "art": leanpub.com/exploring-graph-th

I would love to know if this book sounds interesting to you!
