Howdy ya'all, faire bon accueil, I hope you are living in high cotton today! :-P

Hehehe, Oh Canada... :-) Don't you know that you are using the ~~correct~~ "wrong" temperature system - the only sensible one is based on how many pinkies were on the toe of the king's son's aunt's cousin's horse 200 years ago. I am sure you will agree with me that nothing else makes close to that degree of common sense - on THAT much at least we are SURE to agree! 🙃

Cowboy hat? :-P

But I am open to suggestions if you have any...

Indeed I wear a beanie the whole winter, whenever I can get away with it.:-D But in 100 degree weather, it wouldn't work quite as well...:-P.

I wear a Fedora sometimes - AC can get cold and my hair isn't as thick as it used to be... it just seems easier than converting to Judaism to be able to wear a Yamaka:-P.

Not always, sometimes it's chemical:-D.

I can follow along re-typing the same commands told to me by a more senior dev just like any average monkey!

This reminds me of something I made a long time ago: img

Since I am calling myself dumb, I estimate my progress to be somewhere perhaps at the 20th percentile marker? :-D One of these days I'll RTFM and rocket all the way up to be dumb enough to properly qualify for "below average"! :-P

True, though haven't studies shown that it is the major one, currently? So if the goal were to reduce even if not eliminate all crime, it might be a great place to start.

Counterpoint: is it better to put the TB-grade taco into the car than into a human body? Nvm, that seems to get into a whole "exactly what type of emissions are we talking about here?" side-track:-).

I have only ever used simply "git push". I feel like this is a "how to say that you barely know how to use git without saying that you barely know how to use git" moment:-D.

I mean... at a certain point though, can you blame them? The system is so heavily corrupt that even criminals walk free, so ofc a high-ranking police officer will too. Like if the governor, mayor, and chief of police are all active members of the actual KKK, is a noobie's job to overturn all of society to make it more just, or can they do at least some good if they keep their heads down and focus on what they can affect?

Most Americans (I am one) are lazy AF, always wanting others to do work for us. Trash collectors: "just make my garbage go away" (rather than work towards a more sustainable lifestyle). Doctors: "make a pill for that" (rather than eat healthy and exercise, but accepting that death eventually comes for us all). Police: "just make crime go away" (rather than work to address the systemic imbalances in the system that cause it.

Ultimately it is not only the job of police to police the police, but also the Mayor and thus the voters to choose what we want done. And if one side refuses to function - which sometimes but isn't always the police - then it is lazy to place all the blame onto them.

Also, since when did the job of police ever include "changing" anything? Their whole thing is to "maintain the status quo", which is like the polar opposite of change? Oh... now I get it:-P.
