got to call the sept's island the Septagon just to confuse people.

And while I'm politically in agreement with much of his policies, I think this plan is what will work for anyone, but particularly democrats. Give the people where you are a positive vision of the future, tailored to them, and based on a clear and understandable ideology.

So, he's running on a positive message; I belive in this, these are the polices I think are important that are supported by my belief.

And yes, also, I'm not as bad as the other guy. But that's not the only reason, just one of many.

Why cut police funding? Well, we're going to take away mental health calls from the police so they can focus on what they are trained to do, and fund a new group to deal with that. Safer for everyone, let everyone do what they do well.

When asked a question outside his central focus, he always went back to: "All people should be treated humanely no matter who they are."

It felt like all his policies and opinions stemmed from this tenet. Including the ones that were his focus.

There's going to be endless punditry about this, and I'm 100% sure the democrats will learn the wrong lesson, but the thing that impressed me about Mamdani was that he had a clear philosophy and all of his positions stemmed from that.

It's a good day:

I removed a regex from our code.

If you have the means, please consider donating money to your local food bank. If you are in Columbus, OH, mid-ohio food bank is a good one that has consistently helped our extended family and friends over the years. In just a handful of days things will get dire for the people who need it.

I've definitely read Morning Glory's Milking Farm which is way sweeter and fun than you'd think a story about someone who manually collects ejaculate from minotaurs would be.

I don't know if I've read the specific blue-alien Ruby Dixon novel he showed, but I've read several of that series (there's a *LOT*).

So, yeah, I just spent a buck to buy "Haunted by the HDMI Cable" and added it to our family kindle library (we're all adults here).

That feeling is, "Guess I should find that third one, then."

TFW Steven Colbert mentions 3 weird erotic novels and you've read two of them.

waking up to stephen miller talking to me would wake me up *very* quickly.

The expedition for No Man's Sky's voyager update has a bit of cheek in it. You can jump from the personal ship you can (newly) walk around in and fall all the way to a planet's surface seamlessly and without dying. And this is a task in the expedition/quest.

Ah, yes, TypeScript where you can have code that runs but doesn't compile.

I work with a pharmicist group associated with my endocrinologist. She asked me what I thougth of the new insulin pen I was using, and I spent 5 minutes complaining about the UX problems of the device.

ah, things to do with my new HomeAssistant

Just pointed out in our family that the Daft Hands ( www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2cY... ) video could vote in the next election.

Then i realized that "Harder Better Faster Stronger" is now and *oldie*

Mostly, actually, I've been saying buttery males, but that may just be my own fetish talking

sorry, are y’all saying “butter emails”???

Awsome list, thanks! I'm just starting to undestand what I need/want, this is awesome.

Spent many an hour in RadioShack as a kid.

Yeah, I found a lot at our MicroCenter, but it felt a bit picked over and shallow, but I'll check out Jameco, thanks!

And while I'm at it the same question about PLA/PETG/ETC 3D printing supplies.

What's a good site to buy electronic parts from (esp32s, wire, small electronic components (LEDs, resistors) or things like that as a hobbist. That, most importantly, isn't amazon? A local store to Dublin, OH would be okay, but ordering online is my preference.

insert old man shouts at cloud gif here, I guess.

It's not surprising to me that I dislike working with AI tools. I hated (and still don't really like) autocomplete. It gets in my way all the time.

It's all just laziness and mediocrity on top of theft.

I just don't understand how people use it. Work had me add Copilot to my editor and it makes the worse suggestions. I can code faster, with less bugs without it.
