Again, Joe Biden picking Merrick Garland, Republicans' preferred Supreme Court pick who couldn't even get a confirmation hearing, over Doug Jones, who sent members of the Klan to jail and beat a pedophile at the ballot box in Alabama, as Attorney General was a Compromise of 1877-level mistake.

@jbigham sadly, the San Juan Islands run on FB Groups 😮‍💨

@xyhhx Oh, I agree. Frankly I assume most of us who are adjacent to liberatory tech and social movements will be on the chopping block before too long. And Riseup are (laudably) outspoken.

@ben oh my bad. considering riseup has already been subpoenaed and complied (they turned over all disk data including emails), that they continually are outspokenly supportive of antifa/anarchists, and this recent move, i think they're next on the chopping block

i would make my moves with that assumption with regard to their usagw

@evan I can see it from Dorval!

Fifty three years ago I started the day as a child and ended it as a mom. This was the first photo of me and my daughter. We both still had our hospital bracelet on.
The hospital where she delivered never even gave me a room. I was left in a hallway and discharged about eight hours after I arrived. As an unwed mother I didn't warrant a red carpet welcome. I paid them $250 and went home to the room I rented in an old Victorian house. Obviously there were holes in the wallpaper but we were warm and safe and we were living within our means. I was fourteen years old and ninety eight pounds.
I'm sharing my story because it shows all good things are possible.
My daughter turned into the best kind of human.
It wasn't easy but I have zero regrets.
True grit was never personified by John Wayne types but by regular people surviving against the odds.
Disappointing the doubters was sweet consolation.
She gave me the gift of grandkids too.
I've had a good life.
So far.

> Something about irradiated beans seems wrong and they never seem to cook properly for me

The very idea of irradiating food gives me the ick, on multiple levels. Have you tried buying bulk dried beans from organic shops or ethnic grocers (eg Indian/ Chinese)?

I have to admit, since I've been back in bachelor mode, I've mostly been subsisting mostly on canned beans. I just don't have the spoons these days to manage all the soaking/ pre-cooking that dried beans require.

Query: if the Affordability Crisis is hitting you and your household like a freight train, slide into my DMs.

I'm looking for folks who'd be willing to talk with local media in these markets:

IL
VA
PA
NM
NY

Particularly if you are:
A parent
A working mom
An Independent voter
Someone who uses child care or provides elder care
If you need paid family leave
Or someone just trying to make ends meet

Slide into my DMs.
Please.

I haven’t been to the RMIT TAFE library (building 94) in 20 years and back then it ruled because they had G4 PowerMacs with unlimited access to AARNET’s fat gigabit pipe. Today I’m back and they have monitors, keyboards and mice to dock your laptop with! This is fucken sick

oh and i'm learning about grothendieck's schemes. i wanna scheme together with alexander grothendieck please

@xyhhx Ah. That wasn't actually clear to me from your post. The second para implies that Riseup has been formally categorized as terrorists too, which doesn't appear to be the case.

i promise you, these people write the absolute worst, most garbage code imaginable and really think their success is because of "intelligence".

they hate asymptotic analysis because it provides a shared language to communicate computational requirements across math and science. it doesn't take into account being a very special boy who can do no wrong

@ben correct. if you read my post you'll notice i am already aware of that
