I didn’t go to a job because I wanted to watch trailer park boys. Don’t know how unique that is though, it’s a pretty good show.

Check local community colleges? My province has a few that offer pretty decent coding courses.

I’ve never met/zoomed/chatted with a teacher in real time but you can usually ask questions in lecture or whatnot.

Yeah, mine’s pretty old and sick but I’m really hoping she makes it through to the summer in large part so she can doze in the warm with the sun on her face at least a few more times before her time’s up. (Well, that and I’m selfish and I’ll miss the hell out of her.)

That’s the thing I find most depressing about a trump presidency, there will be a time when the rational Left looks back on it as “when things weren’t so bad.”

Like, when I was a kid I, and many others, never imagined there could be a president dumber than Bush…

In trump’s economy, maybe?

I think you meant to respond to op, but I pretty much agree with what you wrote.

We can’t even get more progressives than moderates/centrists to the Democratic primaries so I’d be pretty surprised to see even half that show up for something radical.

No one can change everything but everyone can change something.

If they keep making movies that respect our intelligence or hit our nerd youth while not being a four quadrant flick, I’ll keep going!

Ohhhh good point, thanks! She’s still fairly mobile (though not as agile a jumper as she once was, which she gets angry about, loudly) but that’s a great thing to remember!

Ha, totally fair. I really hate SQL server’s dark mode options though and as I work through a few frustrating networks, I like just being plugged directly in, without screwing around with a better IDE.

But I’m an uncouth savage who uses f.lux as the day wears on.

Sounds like a great plan, hadn’t even considered they might have something like that! Thanks!

Oh that makes sense! I was a little worried it might be too hot but I imagine one at a pet store would have the temp taken care of etc.

Thanks!

Thanks folks, these were great suggestions! I will be getting her a heat pad shortly!

Ach, totally fair.

I use Connect and tag users rather than block them. That way, I can still see stuff that’s posted but I have a hint as to whether or not they are someone with whom I want to interact.

I mean, it probably would’ve been ideal then but as usual, America was recovering from/embroiled in the last Conservative disasters (financial crisis, Afghanistan/Iraq.) And Obama had just burned a lot of political capital giving people healthcare.

All of a sudden or suddenly. Leaning back on old camp counsellor story telling, I think all of a sudden would be better for building tension whereas a quick, staccato **suddenly! **acts like a verbal bang or jump start, if that makes any sense.

Ha, I had the same reaction but the opposite way: the sudden?

If that’s an actual opinion, it is a damning indictment of our education system and a demonstration of the consequences of provincial Conservative governments cutting too much from those budgets.

I’m more optimistic and lean troll. Have you tagged as such and don’t need to feed you anymore.
