Holding members of the administration in contempt and tossing increasingly more of their asses in jail until they do comply.

I must have a different kind of ADHD because I need to be an hour or two early for my appointments, or I’m constantly stressed I’ll forget them.

Another good expression, “forgiveness is a gift you give yourself.”

It also aligns with Stoicism. You can’t control what others do, you can only control your reaction to it.

I prefer carbon steel. You get the same seasoning of cast iron and easy care, but it’s lighter so it heats more quickly and evenly. It’s a bit more expensive than cast iron but much cheaper than an All-Clad stainless pan.

I only use stainless for acidic foods, like tomato sauces.

Thank you so much for posting this. I had never seen it, and 3:40 brought me to tears.

Ya, they absolutely could/should. A good example today is how a judge is present in a trial to explain the process, law, what’s required for jurors. You could have a similar advisory body which provides recommendations based on their expertise.

Athens had sortition, which was interesting. Everyone participated in the government via a lottery and the average person’s issues would be likely (statistically speaking) to be focused on and addressed.

We still use it today to select jurors. But it was originally for everything. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sortition

It’s been tried a few other times much later in history, but they always limited who could be chosen in the lottery (generally, only rich people). The original system which worked well selected among everyone.

Be aware that receipts (or any thermal paper) are toxic and leech through your skin. I’m not sure how they affect cats, but I certainly wouldn’t recommend holding them longer than you need to.

There’s not enough booze in the world to make me rawdog an onion like this.

People are being snatched and sent to a death camp without a trial or even charges filed. People here legally with no criminal records. Parents with kids. Soccer coaches. The government has admitted in court that it sent people in error, but that it had no ability to undo the harms it caused.

No part of this is acceptable.

 

Hi friends, I'm back, this time jotting down some notes around my go-to way to provision VMs using Ansible. This post assumes Debian (Nix may be a future post).

Of course there's many ways to provision a server, and this is just one of them. I hope some of these notes are helpful!

If you have any other ways you prefer to set up a server, that would be cool to share!

Hi friends, as promised, I'm back with my second post. I'll be hanging around in the comments for any questions!

In this post, I take a look at a typical deployment process, how long each part of it takes, and then I present a simple alternative that I use which is much faster and perfect for hobbit software.

Sharing some lessons I learned from 10 years/millions of users in production. I’ll be in the comments if anyone has any questions!

I hope this series will be useful to the self-hosted and small web crowds—tips for tools to pick and the basics of server management.

I hope some of the lessons in this series help people learn to adopt Linux directly into their stack as a simple tool that can be managed easily on a server.

Just tried commuting on my bike from Santa Monica to downtown Culver City today. I took the Exposition bike path, which was fine until I needed to get off of it to head south.

Google recommended I take National and--lo and behold--there's no bike lane with cars flying past at 55mph+ on blind hills. That's a death trap.

On the way home I left early to avoid traffic. I took Venice Blvd, since it has a protected bike lane all the way until McLaughlin which Google Maps called "bicycle friendly." No bike lane, of course, with cars flying past leaving a foot of distance between me and death. One testy driver in a BMW didn't want to wait the 15 seconds for me to pedal into the left turn lane to get back onto the Exposition bike path, honking and then flying by nearly killing me. Jeez lady, I'm not the city planner. Don't kill me to save 15 seconds.

How does Culver City put zero bike lanes going north to south connecting to the Exposition path? How do these drivers maintain their licenses?

What's a cyclist to do?
