My state (Colorado)

  • Repealed our 18 year old ban on same sex marriage (yay).
  • Failed to pass ranked choice voting (boo). My impression from talking to folks is that many people (especially older people) don't really know what it is and when they read it on the ballot they feel like it's weird and complicated.

My city (Boulder) is a liberal bubble and predictably our local issues are all disagreements between upper middle class+, over 40 property owning NIMBYs vs. progressives who care about affordable housing and the homeless. Literally every city council candidate's platform is EXACTLY the same, except on housing / homelessness issues. Every election, I google all the judges and city council candidates and vote for the ones who seem least NIMBY. The judges are almost always NIMBYs. The city council members I vote for almost always loose.

If the CU students who were eligible to vote in Boulder would do so, this wouldn't happen.

Is python being easy to learn actually true?

I've never found this to be true, I think that's partially because I don't find Python to be very fun to write in, so I don't enjoy it very much, so I don't learn new things about it very quickly.

They could actually make this work.

  • Have a recruitable Volus biotic warrior who you pick up in a nightclub and has romance dialog options.

  • They go hang out in some big room on the ship, like a cargo hold.

  • If you choose the romance options, more Volus just start showing up on your ship with no explanation. Like the next time you go in the cargo hold there's another one, then two more, then you start seeing them in the mess hall, engineering, medbay...

  • There's either dialogue options to ask what's going on (and kick them off the ship) OR there's more romance dialog options, but you can't do both!

  • If you keep choosing romance options, they eventually all show up in your room at the same time. It turns out that when Volus take a new partner, their whole extended polycule is allowed to vote on whether or not they approve of the new person being added to your dynamic. There's a whole scene where you and your new partner have to lobby, bargain and plead for them to include a human. Maybe whether they accept you or not has to do with other choices that you've made.

Aye, ye think yer little wobbly Vulcan coin on a glass is gonna stay calibrated under Warp 3 tactical maneuvers? Hang on. I left a wee role o' duct tape in Jefferies Tube 7.

TST sucks ass though.

It is QUITE A BIT more nuanced than that...

There's a bunch of stuff going on in Bellingham. Or there was five years ago. I vaguely know some people who ended up in that area.

What state do you live in?

 
 

Not me. I have a client who's a very sweet old lady who's business is doing real bio science to treat cancer patients with cannabis extracts.

She's very easily frustrated with technical problems and definitely has the boomer attitude that if you buy something expensive, it means it's good. But she's been getting more and more pissed about enshittification and big software companies screwing over their customers over the last couple years. Adobe's new TOU has her hopping mad. She has all the research papers she's worked on over the last 20 years in Creative Cloud.

I've been consulting with her off and on for six years and she will get SUPER frustrated with glitches and trouble shooting. I don't think there's anything out there that will work for her to ditch Adobe. But I thought I'd ask here, see if there's anything she might try.

 

The goal is actually that I'm able to hook my ticket tracking system (I'm using Zammad) to various ToDo lists I can expose to other people. I'm happy to write middleware to make that work, but I don't want to write a whole ToDo app.

Needs to be able to track multiple lists that can be shared in a granular way (I want to share some lists with some people and other lists with other people).

 

I upscaled the faces and then prompted them with the same lyrics again.
