If I am being very cynical, I say that people abuse/use the suffering of others for their own gain. PR from corps aligning with progressive aims is what I have in mind. I have seen it working with NGOs, too. Not saying we should not pu

An ex of mine was back stabbed so viciously in a feminist culture producing context funding play (the 1990s), that I have become very sceptical. I used to run around wearing a badge, Ich bin gegen mich, (I am against myself). I have stoppe

Who is imputing that a nationwide published scientist has no tact but is themself the model of said tact. Myopic.

I think you are missing the point that affirmative action, which I am for, is done a disservice when we descend to PR games. Knee jerk reactions serve no one.

I have a frame. 28 hours. M/W/F I do 8 hours, am available. T/T I do 2, alone. Sometimes I do more. I have the good fortune to say when and where, but this gives me modalities and no one has to wait too long and I get quali

I climbed over a wall in a police station to get into the loo to pee at .25. Drank a litre of water, climbed back over, sat on a bench and waited for someone to give me the drill. Leaving out a lot of details, wound up buying a piano. I don

For my older pies I found https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/projects/raspberrypi/tutorials/os/ great. But this is arm assembly territory. I believe subsequent generations of pi have had good tutorials. OS, of cou

I learned to couch surf in the 1980s, west coast Canada, US and Europe. Convivial people in the arts, music and so. Even surfed a barn couch in southern france. Biking and hiking was sometimes a common denominator. Internet optional.

Must admit it's the first positive framed use I've read. Reminded me of the GPL as my contract with other GNU guys. Sort a.
