@ScottSoCal I haven't! I'll have to give it a look - maybe after I go through the 700 pages in this book that keeps giving.

@bkm Have you ever seen The Gallery of Regrettable Food? He started posting pictures on a website, with descriptions. It turned into a book.

Under Trump, Zelenskyy was extorted, weakened and made more vulnerable. Under Biden, he's been celebrated and supported
@EricaFriedman But did the Assyrian elders tell kids about their time walking to school, barefoot, in the snow, uphill both ways?
In response to someone whining about "kids today" on another site, I dug out this quote again:
"Our Earth is degenerate in these later days; there are signs that the world is speedily coming to an end; bribery and corruption are common; children no longer obey their parents; every man wants to write a book and the end of the world is evidently approaching.β
It's from an Assyrian clay tablet. circa 2800 B.C.E.
Humans don't change, only technology does.

Iβm an editor at Gannett. I manage 4 reporters and lead the investigative and data work at the Asbury Park Press in NJ.
This week, Iβm on mandatory furlough.
I appreciate the time with my family, but it is a truly horrid time of year to take away a portion of anyoneβs salary.
I make $70K a year. Iβm grateful for it. But Iβm a single dad with two kids. It hurts.
The employees of this company deserve better. At the very least, they deserve to be paid what the company agreed to pay them.
@Sundae_Gurl Ukraine wasn't standing there with their hands out, like the GQP.

Ignore the nay-sayers.
So... me. Work in aerospace, more space, not as much aero. Can fix my own car, choose not to. Can fix the random appliance of your choice. Hardcore introvert in person, which is why I love online. Lifelong science fiction fan. Read constantly. Scalzi is my favorite author, because he mixes exactly the right amount of snark into his writing. Together with a guy 30+ years, married since it was legal. Own a home in CA and don't plan to leave unless I immigrate to another country.
