@atlefren Det at du prøvde å få inkludert noe tekst etter produktet tilsynelatende var ferdig er bare 🤌

@dries Happy new instance 😊 !

I gave up on TV in 2004. The ads had become unbearable and I decided it was no longer worth enduring the crap to find the decent content. I've used only DVDs ever since, and I'm happy. I use YouTube for more ephemeral or up-to-date content.

However, I'm a stubborn guy. If I can't have entertainment the way I want it, I dig my heels in. Most people, it seems, go with the flow.

Do not normalize children dying from measles. Measles was previously eliminated in the US, thanks to vaccines.

When children die from measles, it means that adults have catastrophically failed to protect them because they have rejected basic science.

@twistylittlepassages @futzle Yeah, this thread is confusing me too. Can someone add some audio to https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/python please! :-P

For those in the UK puzzled why we Americans are so distraught over the passing of Dolly Parton: try to remember how you felt when you heard Queen Elizabeth had died. Then imagine how much worse it would have been if Queen Elizabeth had ever helped anyone

I would view this as a complete failure if anyone on my team felt this way. Nobody should ever be made to feel embarrassed for asking questions. We’re doing challenging and oftentimes confusing work. Good engineers ask questions!

Happy first anniversary to my weeknotes!

A special day, but our work continues as usual: a good initial response to our sponsorship drive, a couple of patch releases, some fantastic contributions from our team and community, a possible beginning for Herb support, and a definite beginning for resolvable errors.

@inawhilecrocodile absolutely, my students had the same idea a couple of years ago: https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&hl=en&user=sZssYagAAAAJ&cstart=20&pagesize=80&sortby=pubdate&citation_for_view=sZssYagAAAAJ:1sJd4Hv_s6UC

Sadly, this never went anywhere further, project-wise 🤷

Today in Labor History August 25, 1921, the Battle of Blair Mountain began in Logan County, West Virginia. It was the largest armed insurrection since the Civil War, and the largest labor uprising in U.S. history. 10,000-15,000 coal miners battled 3,000 cops, private cops and vigilantes, who were backed by the coal bosses. Up to 100 miners died in the fighting, along with 10-30 Baldwin-Felts detectives and three national guards. Nearly 1,000 people were arrested. One million rounds were fired. And the government bombed striking coal miners by air, using homemade bombs and poison gas left over from World War I. This was the second time the government had used planes to bomb its own citizens within the U.S. (the first was against African American during the racist Tulsa pogrom, earlier that same year).

The Battle of Matewan had occurred just a year before. Baldwin-Felt private police tried to arrest Sheriff Sid Hatfield, who supported the miners, using a bogus arrest warrant. Unbeknownst to the detectives, armed miners had surrounded them. No one knows who shot first, but when the smoke had cleared, there were seven dead detectives, including Albert and Lee Felts, and four dead townspeople, including the mayor. On August 1, 1921, surviving members of Baldwin-Felts assassinated Hatfield in broad daylight, on the steps of Welch County courthouse, as his wife watched in horror. As news of his death spread, miners began arming themselves and threatened to march to the anti-union stronghold of Logan County to overthrow Sheriff Dan Chaffin, the coal company tyrant who murdered miners with impunity. Fearing a bloodbath, Mother Jones tried to dissuade them from marching. Many accused her of losing her nerve. The march led to all-out war, as the authorities sent in police, private cops, and deputized vigilantes to battle the miners.
