They are too big to not be bailed out; the loss absolutely will be a millstone around the budget for over a generation. This will cause a lot of suffering and make the rich richer and the majority of us much poorer

Edit: I was predicting what would happen, not what should happen. It’s very easy to state what the corrupted government will do. I in no way support what is surly inevitable by the wicked ones

In the 1990s, the book that got me excited was https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learning_Perl.

It was the right time, the right book, for me. Probably many other books would have had the same affect on me, if I had read them instead that month. But it made me laugh and think

I’ve been using jetbrains for many years. I believe I have cursed at their products over 1000 times, opened or tracked issues, seen bugs take many years to be fixed, lived with other bugs.

I’ve seen how their adaptations for AI broke many things that worked; I’ve learned, over many years, to subscribe, but use products that are released in the fall or winter because there are too many bugs earlier in the year. So often my copies are not new.

Yet I never have found a replacement I like better.

Hydroponics can grow plants too

All the major companies have too many ghosts, and will do things I do not like.

I really want to support more ethical organizations

I’m thinking a literal pile of uranium

I’m thinking of doing a startup that processes used kitty litter. I think our end result needs some more work but looks promising

It’s a fact that old cat people become more beautiful with age

American politics has become more conservative, or reactionary, over this period. The actual American left never really changed.

I can code my stuff ok on an older model. I’m sure there are some stacks that need more resources, but I’m having a hard time thinking of which.

Admittedly, on a laptop that is 20+ years old, I cannot surf the web AND run docker at the same time

Honestly feel like the end of syndicated book reviews is not that bad. I have often thought that there is a selection process about the type of reviewer who gets the big press, and usually I am diametrically opposed to them in so many ways.

I was always an outsider to that sort of institutional and emotionally stunted world

I listened to the first ten books (so not books 11 and 12) . If I had to do it all over again I would stop about the point you are now.

I really enjoyed the series but like many things that have a dozen sequels , the story drifts and meanders like a lazy river traveling through both good and bad landscapes; and eventually lands you somewhere mild, bland and unrelated to the starting point

Both of those have a “no tankees” rule

I tend to eat very little red meat now, maybe once a month. I used to eat it every day

I myself am a victim of the modern diet, and lack of exercise. I almost died of high cholesterol and other related factors, before I started to eat better and be physically active.

I’m a firm believer in a varied diet, and that most people should have a less meaty intake.

Just, we are designed to be hunters and eat red meat

Primates in general are designed to eat red meat. Chimps, our closest cousin, go on regular hunts against other primates, and eat them

Mice do not eat that much meat of other mammals.

Giving an over abundance of it, for a long time, will shock the mouse.

She has a well earned reputation of sounding in private just like in the video . I’m sure the video is not her, but it was really accurate in tone; which is why it’s getting traction

If it was good enough for my parents, it’s good enough for me!
