There's going to be endless punditry about this, and I'm 100% sure the democrats will learn the wrong lesson, but the thing that impressed me about Mamdani was that he had a clear philosophy and all of his positions stemmed from that.

If you have the means, please consider donating money to your local food bank. If you are in Columbus, OH, mid-ohio food bank is a good one that has consistently helped our extended family and friends over the years. In just a handful of days things will get dire for the people who need it.

The expedition for No Man's Sky's voyager update has a bit of cheek in it. You can jump from the personal ship you can (newly) walk around in and fall all the way to a planet's surface seamlessly and without dying. And this is a task in the expedition/quest.

What's a good site to buy electronic parts from (esp32s, wire, small electronic components (LEDs, resistors) or things like that as a hobbist. That, most importantly, isn't amazon? A local store to Dublin, OH would be okay, but ordering online is my preference.

It's not surprising to me that I dislike working with AI tools. I hated (and still don't really like) autocomplete. It gets in my way all the time.

As a professional programmer, one of the best things you can do is make your QA/E's job easier.
The easier it is for them to test for correctness (and the more accurate) the more confidence you can have in your codebase.

Overthrow the Hegenomy within congress!
1) Because it's what's needed for change
and
2) Hegenomy is a great word to say. So fun.

Several years ago we moved out of central Columbus up to Dublin for schools, and to be closer to my work. One of the things I really miss is the sound of trains.
Our duplex was 30 feet from the tracks, and that may sound bad, but it's really one of the more soothing sounds.

Schumer is a tool.
Specifically he's a rusty old tool you found in the bottom of a not-quite-square rickety old cabinet you inherited from your father-in-law that's either half-broken or for some arcane and unknowable purpose, but you kept it because your wife really wants you to use her dad's shit
