I'm not sure what's it's like now, but at that age I was just starting to get into visual programming. Using blocks to program. Started getting into Lego robotics. All my computer skills started there.

With Linux I would start them on basic terminal commands. Cat a file. Edit a file. Navigate. Etc.

I really need to get on this. Even just a few panels on the garage to run my NAS and PC off of it nothing else.

I host themed parties all the time. Charcuterie party, soup party, chilli cook off, my wife is planning a Hobbit themed party soon. No other reason than just because

"I'm okay taking a few hits. They gotta weed out the leeches who just drain the system" <- actual reasoning I've heard.

When half the country is willing to starve to death and armed to the teeth, the other half is not quick to riot and provoke them

So they're going to take a page out of Zohran's book and listen to others who aren't billionaires right? Right? T.T

Technically? Probably more than you'd expect. But in like a "someone forgot one check box on one document 30 years ago and it just never got fixed because really who cares it's just a formality" kind of way

Oooo, quercetin, so spooky like myricetin and kaempferol. I can't even go outside for fear of the chemical cyanidin. Wait. Those are just banana flavour compounds. My bad.

SNAP actually did that. There's an several billion dollar emergency buffer fund that was established for exactly this situation. Trump and his cronies decided to not use it though.

The judge is trying to make sure the plan that was established is followed instead of Trump getting to just choose who benefits from his whims

My STEM college was still big on humanities. We were required to take a writing and communication class specifically focused on effective writing. They understood it doesn't matter how good your engineering work is if you can't convey it to anyone.

I think the problem is a more fundamental flaw in how we teach and convey ideas and a core problem with the education process.

I remember one of my college professors commenting my papers were some of his favorites simply because he could tell I understood structure. He spent many hours lamenting the lack of continuity he saw in even the STEM students known for thinking logically.

Definitely not my experience at four different companies or what I've seen from my friends venting. I'm kind of jealous.

The only time I've gotten to improve things already written is when we had a specific contract to do so once. Other than that, yeah, small bug fixes but otherwise new development only.
