Hey y'all! This thread has sparked a lot of discussion and it is obviously a very tense topic being discussed at a tense time in the world. With the way the thread has been going, the mod team doesn't feel we can moderate this thread thoroughly enough to make it follow our rules, so I am going to lock it.

Howdy y’all! I meant to post this on Halloween but then got distracted with Halloween and travel. If you're still working, this is your time to stop, though if you need finishing touches or anything to document your project feel free to continue on that. This final update post, so comment below with your progress and challenges. See you all in a few more days for the showcase!

Unfortunately I haven't been able to make any more caramel, and based on what's going on life wise I'm not going to have a chance to before the end of the month. I'm still happy that I was able to make a few attempts and make some progress though!

Not sure what you are talking about with the sockpuppets bit, but please try to be polite when someone confuses you for another user in the thread. It's a simple mistake and there's no need to be mean about it. Thanks!

I was not terribly successful on this last year so I have two ideas, both aiming to scale back a bit:

  1. Complete my project from last year, which was a round shield inspired by Viking round shields
  2. Hammer out a good dairy free caramel recipe. I already have a dairy free fudge recipe which I make at Christmas every year. There's also caramels, but my SO has a dairy allergy so she cannot partake, so I would like to work out a good caramel recipe. I have made previous attempts at this, but they all fell victim to various mishaps, ranging from becoming overcooked into burnt hard candy to having a fly nosedive into the cooking caramel

This will be made a little more complicated by having a week of business travel as well as a family visit at the end of the month, but I am hoping to accomplish something fun without setting too high of expectations for myself.

Hey this is a great contribution, just wanted to request that in the future you try to have a more descriptive title. Totally understand that it might have slipped your mind on this one, this is a charged topic to say the least, just a note for the future. Thanks!

Hey, I know this can be an issue that strikes a nerve. That said, acknowledging nuance is important to having a productive conversation. Judging everyone by a set standard and having unkind words for not meeting that standard even before you know much about the person you are engaging with is not going to be productive, and it's not particularly nice either.

To be clear, I do not intend to ask you to tolerate oppression. By all means you should oppose oppression strenuously! But being harsh to someone you disagree with online is not the way to do that. In the future, please try your best to disengage from the conversation for a bit until you are in a better headspace.

I'm not sure what the intent on this post is, but between not being able to find much else about this game and the installation instructions including using a VPN to pretend to be in Indonesia, I'm suspicious malware may be at play. Going to take this down for now.

Ah, makes sense with the world aspect, but still a better fit for the politics community.

Frankly I'm just confused why Goldman ever agreed to this in the first place. No fees on the card, no cut of interchange fees, where did they think they were going to make that up? I guess maybe borrow cheap to front people and then let those people carry a balance, which doesn't work so well with higher rates. And even then, I kinda doubt the people who are so into the Apple ecosystem that they get the credit card are going to be carrying balances often and large enough to make that math work out.

This is a great resource, thank you for posting it! However, it would likely be a better fit for the Beehaw Programming community. Please post links like this in that community in the future!

Not sure if you got latter and former confused, but I for one am hoping things are calming down. That said, I know that this was midterms and since Trump wasn't actually on the ballot, it probably means a lot of the people who drove unrest last time around weren't motivated to show up.

Even better than just continuing to allow cars for people with disabilities, I think redesigning cities for pedestrians and cyclists is a great time to also make it easier for people to use wheelchairs or microcars too!
