... and is a comma a California stop?
If a period is a full stop, is a semicolon a partial stop?
Reading about the period immediately after the Civil War in Harriot's "Black AF History", the vibe is very much "S2E1 of a series that wasn't expecting to be renewed, so they needed to bring back the villains and reestablish peril." #history
@pcgamer I finished the game and never met Astarion or Karlach.
Final update: connection with the human restored, and they were able to fix my configuration problem.
Update: the "human" asked for more information about my problem and then ghosted me.
I was able to bypass a (majestically incompetent) customer service chatbot and get what claims to be a human by swearing at it.
The power just flashed so hard my computer switched operating systems.

I have started trying to get back in the habit of regular sketching to improve my drawing ability.
I've been doing two or three a week for the last couple of weeks.
The pencil sketches are from the exercises in 3DTotal Publishing's The Sketch Encyclopedia: Over 900 Drawing Projects.
The pen sketches are freehand sketches from reference photos off the Internet.

Asking the Fediverse hive mind: What is a good dead-tree book about Python for a seasoned developer (me)?
Examples of books that I found valuable for other languages:
Donovan & Kernighan: The Go Programming Language
Zakas: Understanding Ecmascript 6
What are similar well-written, advanced and practical books for #Python?
@SymbolicCity @futurebird @Elizhargrave I love it when a flan comes together.
@mishellbaker The classical Asian game of Go. Simple, elegant rules, staggering depth, aesthetic beauty, and a thrilling mental workout every time.

In 2017, I crocheted myself a solar system costume. The headpiece is mounted on a bike helmet for stability (I got that tip from some folks who build showgirl costumes). The tunic is made from fine black linen yarn, very matte, very tedious, much like I imagine space is most of the time. The planets are made using an online sphere pattern generator, so that I could vary the sizes in a predictable way; they are strung on a fishing line with beads, and suspended from an elastic collar, also crocheted. They are also kept in place with a beaded "asteroid belt", located between Mars and Jupiter, of course. Photographed at Manhattan Beach Pier. All second-hand yarns, though I had to ask around for enough yellow to make the sun so large. #solarsystem #crochet #costume #planets #sun #astronomy #planetary #yesplutotoo
@nedbat Is there a better language for understand how modern hardware works?
