Mainstream media fact checks both major candidates.

Biden not being perfectly honest/accurate does not mean he's "just as bad" as Trump.

On a related note, the number of record low temperatures every year is much less than the number of record highs.

OH: "Life without snacking is sad and empty."

I'm hoping we can resume fire arts practice this week, but it might be a tough sell. https://getyarn.io/yarn-clip/6ae32d1e-bb43-4274-9d1f-4bae70ba7cad

Has anyone else noticed that we've never seen Grabthar and Vectron in the same room at the same time?

I finally got around to reading the hex grids tutorial from Red Blob Games. If you're into hex grids, it is a thing of beauty.

x%2 is 0 for even numbers, but 1 only for POSITIVE odd numbers; it's -1 for negative ones

x&1 is 0 for even numbers, 1 for odd numbers

Also, "parity" appears (in CS, not math) to refer to oddness or evenness of the number of "on" bits, not the number itself.

To their credit, they came down on the right side.

Of course, ending the death cult's Senate majority would be a Good Thing.

To develop software, you need to know concepts, rules, and conventions of

a) computer science,
b) your programming language,
c) your tools, and
d) your organization and project.

With only a/b, you can only make small programs. With only c/d, you can only make small changes.

"Fight harder", but how? Vote? Obviously. Donate to Dems in competitive senate races? Already doing that. March in the streets? Doesn't do any good.

I'm privileged on just about every axis but I feel powerless against those with even more privilege.

What are we supposed to do?
