Or: "The algorithm and data structure theory stuff is still pretty relevant. However, all of the examples are written in a language no one really uses any more. If they can get away with it."
Pollo Request. What Walter White was always getting on his phone.
Methinks "rescheduled" is a more likely outcome.
Trump's flunkies had 4 years to write Project 2025, so of course that shit has been implemented at frightening precision.
But they're incredibly bad at doing anything on short notice. Expect Four Seasons level brainfarts if they need to improvise a solution yet again.
Well, I guess we have several hotlines for major mental health crises. I've not found one that's specifically for sadness. Which is a shame because often the road to major mental health crises is paved with a lot of minor ones.
In The Sims 4, the sims can call this service number if they're feeling really sad and want to talk to someone about how sad they are.
I wish we had that kind of a service here for real.
Alphabet starting with M? Hey, prescriptivist dingdongs, you can't just say there is now apparently an alphabet that starts with M! Those things don't exist in vacuum - if you make something like this up, you have to go all the way and define such an alphabet clearly!
Rules mean nothing unless they clarify established language use conventions! Which is why I think descriptivist approach is better in most cases.
So Trump tries to hamper the ICC through infrastructure. Mess with the email, and everything stops, right? That's how he believes it works?
Hey, Trump, you may not believe this, but the ICC have these things called "legally defined purpose" and "established procedures". I know you've recently proven that as far as the USA is concerned, those are just theoreticals that you think you can revoke at whim, but unfortunately for you, here in the democratic world they still mean something, as far as I know. No email outage will stop this show.
I'd love to be a forest witch but the public transport may have less options.
Haunted bookshop sounds good too, but that might involve dealing with customers and I'm not suited for that.
Most of this stuff is probably in creative tools/technology side. Nikon cameras, Asus computers, Wacom tablets, stuff like that. Because for these purposes I prefer to buy known-good tools that I'll be able to use for a decade or more.
"There are two things that I hate about the immigrants", said the random dingdong in one breath, "first of all, they're not doing any work, and second of all, they take all of our jobs."
...I heard this joke in the 1980s. The dingdongs haven't gotten any less self-contradictory.
More controlled routines helped me a lot. I'm committed to stuff like taking a photo walk and doing a language lesson every day.
Also started using more to-do tracking apps, and also using paper almanac and notebooks and a Post-It wall. If I need to do something, I'm more likely to write down somewhere, and I'm actually getting stuff underway!
