The other part of the study showed that self-ID'd Dems are are more likely to view those to the right of them as a somewhat more conservative than they self ID as, and self-ID'd Reps are more likely to view those to the left of them as extremists. Self-ID'd Dems are closer to the truth.

The other interpretation is that the Republican Party does a lot better job of representing conservatives than the Democrat Party does representing progressives, which absolutely tracks. I wish the Dem Party did even half the things the Rep Party threaten they (the Dem Party) will. Exasperating.

I read the study and all this part shows is that more self-identified Dems strongly disagreed with Rep Party ideologies (which the questions were based on) than self-identified Reps strongly agreed with them. There's more diversity in Rep responses as Rep Party ideologies were the entire context.

I followed a stack exchange answer and changed python3.8 to a symbolic link to 3.10

Everything stopped working. I was like oh okay no problem I’ll just uninstall and reinstall 3.8

I’m now in the drat Stone Age. don’t even have network drivers anymore. Also my portable hard drive died.

Meow!

I've been so busy that I spent today editing down the past two weeks of screen recordings into timelapses. :x

If it's worth doing once, it's worth scripting/documenting/jigging so you never have to do it again. Nobody ever got mad that you saved them time, including you.

Just remember, the solution doesn't have to be your solution. You are just as valid in charging for all the time you've spent studying the solutions of others as you are in creating them yourself.

It's easy to feel incensed with this (ignorant at best, entitled at worst) behavior however it can be solved with this simple arcane incantation: "Yes, I'd be happy to help you find a solution, my consulting fees are $x per hour."

My experience is that people don't want to commission you to design or innovate.
What they will ask for is a (often singular) bootleg of a mass manufactured product that already exists, for a price cheaper than retail.
What they actually want is a personal discount dispenser.
