why doesnt anyone ever take the polite no? why do people require a forceful no? and why do said people then act like they were the ones wronged in the exchange?

Best glory I’ve ever seen from a plane! It’s an optical phenomenon that occurs when light interacts in and around tiny droplets of water in the clouds, in the direction opposite the sun. More complex than a rainbow. Here’s a link to some more info: www.zmescience.com/science/phys... #optics #physics

Ask courageous questions.
Do not be satisfied with superficial answers. Be open to wonder and at the same time subject all claims to knowledge, without exception, to critical scrutiny.
Be aware of human fallibility.
Cherish your species and your planet.
- Carl Sagan.

The atoms within you once burned in the heart of stars, chaotic and lifeless, and yet here you are, after half a dozen or so billion years, arranging them into love, questions, and hope. You are a miracle, a thermodynamic miracle.

If you burn down a forest, you don't miss out on lumber for just that season. You have to replant all the trees, nurture them, and wait for them to grow.
The science and research budget cuts happening now are wanton, senseless arson. Recovery, if it ever happens, will take generations.

pushing a minor change even though docker swears the build is suddenly and magically broken despite the change having no possible way to break it but it's still broken even after pruning the build cache ... but then seeing it work on the dev and test servers is a form of satisfying i didnt expect
