Anybody have any recommended follows for those who are new to software development (learning and transitioning into a career), with or without a focus on LGBTQ and LGBTQ-friendly folks?

Any hashtags in particular I should pass along?

Trying to help a friend ease into the community here and want to give her a good starting experience.

Since we are likely back to GOP supporting Jim Jordan for Speaker wanted to re-share my article: Jim Jordan should not be Speaker, he should be a co-defendant in Trump’s attempted coup case. https://deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/jim-jordan-should-not-be-speaker

I wish i could just make everyone understand how sorry i am. I don't mean to be like this. I've been fighting it for 19 years. I'm not doing a great job.

I want to scream into the universe that I'm sorry. I feel such shame and i desire forgiveness so badly. I'm so sorry.

Rouen Cathedral, France (2010)

Of the many, many French Gothic churches & cathedrals I visited to study in 2010, my award for the most beautiful went to this spectacular cathedral. (Third runner up was Bourges, second runner-up was Chartres, and Miss Congeniality went to Notre Dame-Paris, in case you wondered.)

@7soulshine7 so happy to hear your husband is getting better. And so happy to hear Novavax is near you. Still can’t find it here within 100 miles but waste water is high so I’m still hunkering down. I figure closer to Thanksgiving likely more helpful for my needs. I hope your husband odd negative soon!

@DemocracyMattersALot There are few people on this Earth as intellectually bankrupt as David Barton. He pretends to be a historian, when in fact he's a motivated, historical revisionist. He starts with his preferred policies and beliefs, then he cherry-picks history, eliminating context and injecting his own views as fact in order to create a view of the past that bears no resemblance to what actually happened. Throw eggs at this dude whenever his shitty head pops up.

Omar and Tlaib Are Condemned in the U.S. for Saying What Prominent Israelis Are Saying https://www.thenation.com/article/politics/omar-and-tlaib-israel-gaza-statements/

Almost 9 years ago, it was reported about Steve Scalise attending & speaking at a white supremacist conference in 2002. Given the renewed attention, I think it's important to correct a few things the media continues to misreport.

Scalise was honored at the "international" event, held at the Landmark Best Western Hotel in Metairie, was hosted by EURO, the European-American Unity & Rights Organization, a group affiliated with David Duke, arguably the most notorious racist in America at the time.

Some universities are not allowing #climate scientists to avoid plane travel, and others are preventing public health academics from enacting #COVID precautions in their classes.

If scientists are not allowed to act on the implications of their own research, what's the point?

You take an arrow to the knee, and you're not an adventurer anymore.

Years later you still limp, but the arrow? Long gone. It did its work in an instant.

This is #LongCovid. You no longer test positive for the virus, but you're not an adventurer anymore.

"Long COVID" does not mean "having COVID for a long time."
It means the virus disabled you.

Yes, that's a thing viruses can do. Don't give this one the chance.

I used to be an adventurer like you, but then I took an arrow to the knee.

I just had to chase a squirrel off the exterior walls of the house, where it was zooming back and forth and back and forth like a demented little racecar.

It yelled at me *extensively* until I got it turned around so it could escape into the trees and now it's way up high in a big hemlock hollering all my faults aloud.

happy #fridaythe13th

Alright friends, I’ve been convinced not to keep this battery, and it appears MacBooks without a battery either don’t run or throttle the CPU considerably. I’ve also decided I don’t want to change it myself.

So. Anyone (in the Zürich area) want a free MacBook Pro 13” from 2015?

You will have to change the battery (or ask at Fix Repair or something) yourself. I can lend you the screwdriver and bits if you want, but I’m not good enough at device repair to do it for you.
