I got 21/26 on @mitsuhiko.at's fstrings.wtf quiz.

I spent a lot of time creating a cheat sheet and article on f-strings, so I was kicking myself after a few of them that I should have known. There were definitely a couple surprise Python features for me though!

Test your knowledge of Python's f-string formatting with this interactive quiz. How well do you know Python's string formatting quirks?

The biggest problem with starting a show that's already a couple of seasons in is not talking about it for fear of spoilers. #BingeWatch #NetFlix

My dad told me not to vote for a party, but instead vote my values.
Maybe vote for someone that will help those in need with food, water, housing, healthcare?
Or one of the many who support slaughtering and destroying those in need, including children?

If the only way I can get to your site without my system grinding to a halt is to use an ad-blocker, you don't get to complain about me using one.

I just finished
@AlSweigart all book, Python Programming Exercises, Gently Explained. It's an excellent book. I highly recommend this book for anyone learning Python.
Take your time with going through the book. For many of them I created different versions to practice.

So, my store walked out this morning and since walkouts are not covered by the overall strike fund, we are hoping to pay people part of their pay from today through the state fund. Please share and/or give if you can: MN SBWU Solidarity Fund gofund.me/b505f86f

Not sure if I like that BlueSky translates post by kicking me out to Google Translate. I wonder how much information is flowing out to do that Translate call?

One of the best things about remote work is I get to hang out with my dogs. Luna even sleeps under my desk for a big part of the day. My breaks normally include taking her for a walk. Really helps when the day gets stressful.

This is your reminder to prioritize your own health. Take 15 minutes every day to disconnect. Take a walk, a nap, or just sit quietly. Don't think about anything. Just breath.
