The laws of physics define what are safe driving speeds, not the statist laws of man.

You haven’t seen how many they already have. Sprawling suburbias full of houses chosen from a catalog with minor alterations. Who wants a used house when you can build a new “custom” deciding between a three car garage or 2 and a sunroom? (They literally call them “customs”) If anything they are still building too many. And they are way too big, with gaudy interiors. Epitomy of american glutonous consumption

National propaganda radio is pretty good but new york lies != nyt. How about new york thymes. See it’s the wrong “time”. Because they are wrong. Get it?

Tbf it was never going to happen anyway. Every city is fighting every other for where it does and where it doesn’t go. It would wind so much it would never get above 75 mph

It is a skill I possess and deploy as needed

In my ignorance as a Yank, that’s a much more accurate strike than I would expect.

So is the EFF and the FSF, but take your comfort where you find it.

Have you reached out to anyone in softwareunderground? I’m sure someone has some industry connections. Even if it isn’t hydrology, it’s field adjacent and good networking

I’m almost wondering if I wrote this because it sounds a lot like me. I made a pitch for doing light (to us) coding for several other people last week. I also talked about automation. It’s something I really want to do because I like working on many small projects (I literally said I have at least 100 repos on gitlab) rather than monolithic ones. We’ll see if they bite. They are going to get back to me tomorrow.

Here’s my advice. Keep doing what you are doing. Work on small projects. But for employment, most people want specialists. They aren’t going to take you on for one small project for you to just move to something else. Or let you hop between other things within their organization unproven. People are afraid of generalists because there is no way to know if you are just ok at one thing or generally helpful at many things. Why should they take your word for it? Specialization is how they can tell if you are excellent.

You need to pick one thing and get VERY good at it. Better than the average specialist. This doesn’t need to be programming, in fact it is probably easier if it isn’t. I’m a teacher. By becoming a good specialist at something, in my case teaching, you show you are capable of being great at at least one thing, and it gives you a broad understanding of the organization and then you can make a pitch.

A pitch is something you need to figure out for yourself. You need to convince them your value is addressing the needs of other specialists. Very specifically. You need to be conversational in all of their projects and this takes a lot of people skills.

TLDR: Pick a singular career to support yourself first. If you want your job to be to dabble, be excellent at your job, then prove your real talent is horizontal not vertical

I don’t get it. Isn’t he just saying he doesn’t get it?

If it’s going to be as useful as possible, yes.

I take trains whenever I can, but that’s difficult where I live ☹️

You don’t have to feel bad about being nervous. I did. It’s not unlikely you’ll be the only one in that line who decides to opt out. What happens if something goes wrong? Everyone else will be pissed at you. Turns out it’s not a big deal. You just ask and there’s one less thing they have to do.

What recourse do we have otherwise? Sure it’s unlikely to change anything, but it doesn’t cost anything either.

Domestic flights within the united states still require an id. They recently (in may iirc) require you use a “real id”. I guess those are harder to conterfeit, but still they strengthened the traditional id requirement recently, so I expect that to remain the standard, at least for a while

Way down south in the land of traitors…

I suggest having two separate hard drives rather than dual booting
