First prize in a competition of proposals as to how best revitalize the at present rather dreary West end of Alzira, in Valencia, Spain. @DriehausPrize is doing fantastic work promoting these things as usual. Before fixing anything, we must have a vision of what we can achieve.

Question for those experienced with Arduino microcontrollers:

Can I get away with a crash course in C to be competent or do I need to bite the bullet and commit to learning the language on its own terms first?

@nerdman show me a Frenchman who knows when he's pretending and I'll show you an Englishman who knows when to stop drinking

"Meh, phuqq the vaxx", Prodigal

Earlier this month
=============
"You have to make Prodigal take the vaxx" - Big Boss.

"have you ever tried to make Prodigal do anything that he believes is false? That nigga is a data freak...he's phuqqing Sherlock Homeboy..." - Little Boss

* * *

"Prod, their gunna cut you on Nov 15th if you don't vax" - Little Boss, chuckles

"Ach! Mein Sides, Mein Neger!" - Prodigal

Today
=====
*Shows up first at zoom meeting since disallowed on premises for refusing to disclose vax status"

*Crickets*

*Everyone on my team doesn't show up*

*No one on me former team shows up*

*Just me, Big Boss and Project Manager*

*Big boss gives updates, feels awkward...seems relieved at end of the meeting that I am not giving him side eye or mistreating him*

*Other stragglers show up and don't acknowledge when I say good morning*

*Being based, I have no feels about the situation, I just accept people think I am killing their grandma for not being vaxxed, even though country is over 80% vaxxed*

*I smile inwardly knowing that I haven't cucked, and then brainstorm for the Trudeau tyranny sure to come in the future...*

(apologies for long post...)

@Prodigal figured it would be the case

this is one tent I'd rather be well outside

@augustus he would have been 96 in 2000 so not sure if that theory holds water

@augustus oh you mean if Orwell was still alive today?

@augustus applying Orwell's method to today =/= Neo-con

One of his issues was with the abuse of language, particularly in political contexts; he would have been anti-woke but beyond that it's hard to say.

doubt he would have been pro-Trump either.

not sure where your equivalence of Trotskyism and Neo-con comes from but can't say I know much about either
