Will probably pay for wi-fi. Probably some combination of TV shows, movies, and reading. And start the flight by trying to sleep as long as possible.

But then line don’t go up and fail! Can’t fail!

They absolutely know it because they use the exact same arguments to justify the insane contracts offered to CEOs.

Pretty much what I suspected. Thanks. My flatbed is a canoscan 9800 (or 9500?). I also have a Fujitsu ADF scanner. Have been looking at building a camera-based scanner for some old textured photos I’ve been trying to scan.

How do you scan them? I have a flatbed, but I imagine it would be a tedious process with not great results. I also have a bunch of old PC Accelerator mags in my bookcase. That was a funny magazine.

My 5th grade teacher specifically said she wouldn’t allow them in the class. She told parents she wanted us to have a plain blue binder (the one that was covered in blue fabric), some dividers and paper. She then proceeded to teach us something no there before or after spent time on: how to properly organize our work. You were awesome, Dr. Cross!

I think it illustrates why we teach history, and why we should always teach it as truthfully as possible. He wrote some genuinely good, arguably timeless, children’s books, and he was a human being who held some viewpoints that haven’t aged well. I don’t think it makes him a particularly bad person. Just a normal complex one. Besides, when we cancel people for effectively being a normal person of 50, 60, 70, 100, etc. years ago, it feeds the bullshit conservative message of a woke agenda. We should be smart enough to understand that people are capable of doing good and bad things.

Adding in - if you watch the first season of the Amazon show, it’s pretty accurate to the books. The second season went off the rails a bit, but the recent season was alright (other than Anthony Michael Hall being a pretty one dimensional actor).

If that’s the reason why, I would skip it. They don’t spend a lot of time on it. Plus, in the early books there’s some unnecessary cringe parts where they felt the need to shoehorn “love interest” into the story. In general, they’re decent “boss battle” books. Easy reads that aren’t going to make you think. Beach reads for guys, I guess.

I think I know what I want to be for Halloween this year!

I read all the Jack Reacher books a couple years ago, and one of the fascinating things about the character is his aversion to owning things. In some of the books, he talks about it a little and it’s an interesting insight to that worldview. I think they kind of stopped talking about it in newer books, and the character has gotten kind of less interesting because of it. At one point, he inherits a house, and that seems to become a minor trauma for him!

Not sure what the audience’s intended education level is supposed to be, but it seems pretty narrow. The minute it brings up API keys, it loses everyone who isn’t a software developer or self-hoster. The remaining people probably already have a decent enough understanding of Oauth that the rest of the guide is probably too simplistic.

“Losing?” No.

“Throwing away any chance of?” Yes.

This sounds like a song lyric.

Doesn’t really matter for today. We’re just making a list for historians to argue over long after the inevitable fall. The US is not a country of laws for the ruling class.
