Tips for using WorldCat: Don't forget that (in the US, at least), university and college libraries are open to the public, since your tax dollars pay for them. Remember about interlibrary loans, too: if a book's not available near you, you can ask for it to ne lent temporarily to your local library.

Hey are there any extensions for VS Code that number the "columns" -- vertical line numbers, basically?

I have a very long doc right now, where it would be a useful feature, to ensure lines on the same heading level are even length

It's half a percent.

Wtf is wrong with these nonprofits?!

Seattle literally has about the same population, and the same ethnic demographics, as Staten Island, the smallest and whitest borough of NYC.

Honestly, in Seattle, a lot of anti-Amazon sentiment is combined with anti-immigrant sentiment, so it's kind of hard to fuck with people who tell you they hate what Amazon is doing to the city, cuz you're just bracing yourself for them to start talking at you about Amazon bringing in too many foreigners.

Seattle is so white that tech is making it less white by hiring non-locals, and that is truly saying something.

Nergal Jr. really resonated with me as a character, pre-transition, because he was a shapeshifting monstrosity that willingly chose to present as a young man with a black quiff and thick glasses. And those were my transition goals.
