Eh. It's a silly line, but you can read "political" as "not backing any of the current candidates" and it reads fine.

Senate business can be conducted with the VP as tiebreaker as well, as I understand it? But I could be wrong.

The governor of California can turn around an interim appointment pretty quickly if he so chooses; there's some static around a prior promise to appoint a Black woman, which most people viewed as effectively a promise to Representative

I just wear it with glasses and deal. My glasses are pretty tight to my face, though. And I'm assuming that a lot of silica particles will go through a P100 a lot faster than the stuff I do. ;)

Yeah - this is why it wasn't a good idea to use those during COVID, but it's amazing for doing work.

I mentioned the wood shop because I have expended considerably more energy in that shop and also in researching how to do so safely, but I've owned a property management company and personally I've done two house remodels where I

Car mechanics have a few cultural things that lead to everyone buying a preposterously expensive box of their own stuff. First is theft (stuff walks away a lot ) and second is flat-rate differentiation. Having the right tools can make a fl

I have a wood shop, I wear a respirator constantly unless I've got the doors open and the fans on and I'm not going to be doing more than a one-off cut that afternoon. A properly fitted 3M 6800-series full-face respirator is prett

By hosting your own Mastodon server, you are effectively buying into only receiving direct, point-to-point notifications and you lose what remains of the “overheard amongst acquaintances” effect that Twitter and now Bluesky effectively capt

It's hard not to read your posts as hailing from the Linux-on-the-desktop mindset: "either you love it or you don't understand it". I understand federated services just fine. I use several, both personally and profession

This is technically correct, in the Futurama sense of the term. It also isn't what people actually want, though.

I agree with this. If you're working in now/next/later terms, you should have a more detailed definition of scope as things move from 'later' to 'next' and especially to 'now', but things shouldn

I agree on both points. I used to quite like Redux but, between NextJS simplifying the page model and hooks/context being a lot easier for CRA-style apps, I just don't need them anymore for the sort of things I do. The real kick t
