I think I should have used Cunningham's law instead of asking questions in [this post](https://discuss.python.org/t/pep-810-explicit-lazy-imports/104131/176). I suspect I would have gotten more people weighing in.

Let me post a *non*-subtoot for once... We made a thing!

@sethmlarson @adamchainz So probably 25% chance it is still using six in 2030 😛
@sethmlarson @adamchainz I just need to write the documentation on issue #1130 to merge it, I think. Probably like 2 or 3 days' work to do the whole migration, so if in the next 5 years I have 2 or 3 uninterrupted days and I don't have to spend them fighting bitrot on the CI, dateutil should drop six before then.
At least I'm teaching my children the valuable lesson that watching sports is boring and unpleasant.
First time going to a baseball game since I was a child and I am impressed with the degree to which every aspect of this is mild to moderately unpleasant, starting with the fact that in order to access the tickets it was *required* to download the "MLB Ballpark" app (which is apparently different from the "MLB" app).
@pinche_compinche "De fondo" tiene un significado especifico o seria suficiente si la imagen estuviera debajo de los otros graifcos?
Si esto es suficiente, pones tu jpg encima de los demás, seleccionarlo y vas a Object > Lower to Bottom (o presionar "End").
Y si vas a seguir trabajando con el SVG, puedes hacer clic derecho y seleccionar "Lock Selected Objects"
Siento que no sé como se llaman los opciones en la interfaz español, si la usas.

Heads-up: pytest-cov 7.0.0 released today with a breaking change: it no longer coordinates subprocess measurement because coverage․py now does it for you. But you need to enable it with `[run] patch=subprocess` in your configuration.
Me: "We might go to a bookstore."
Son: "Aww, I don't want to go to a bookstore, it's probably very crowded because so many people like books."
Me: "Ha ha"
Bookstore: *actually is fairly crowded*
I told my 7 year old that if we moved to London he would probably get a British accent eventually and now every 5 minutes he worriedly asks me if he has started talking British yet (he has yet to interact with a British person).
My credit card when I buy gas on a highway near my house: "Seems pretty sus... 🤨"
My credit card when I order zero calorie sauces from Spain, delivered to someone else in the Netherlands, with that person's name as the cardholder: "All good bro, enjoy your sauces! 👍"
I can't tell if their fraud detection are not that good or if they just know me really well 😛
@sethmlarson This is a pretty brilliant solution. I usually just carry a bluetooth keyboard with me and try to move everyone to signal or something like that as soon as I can, but now I'm mildly (irrationally) angry that I've never seen this type of solution before.

Do you dislike drafting long text messages on a mobile keyboard? Me too!
I created a little tool that lets you write text messages from a computer and then send them from your phone by scanning a QR code:

Oof, didn't realize that I didn't affirm my PSF membership this year and now the website is rejecting my password and when I try to reset it. Hopefully I can get it sorted out in the next... 90 minutes I guess? 😬

#blind I want to make the CLI app tools I use blind accessible. Did I correctly read that the better way is to create a local mini-website? (because the accessibility tools for browsers are so much better than for anything else?)
Or is a CLI tool automatically blind accessible because it is all text already?
@pamelafox I have never checked them in and I've never thought to do so. If I did I would want some sort of CI check to ensure they are accurate.
MVP of S'mores?

Today we got our dishwasher fixed under warranty. To diagnose it, the tech stuck a photosensor+magnet onto the front panel over the green status LED and started reading diagnostics. It turns out the status LED is actually a serial port*, and it's continually transmitting status.
I can think of so many gadgets that could and should use this trick...
*It's probably something other than regular serial -- a UART's TX would flicker. I don't know any details.
