Is this another “leave it to the states” dog whistle before a nationwide ban is on table?

Reading “Faster” by Neal Bascomb in c/kindle@sh.itjust.works
[–] santa@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

I’ll give it a shot…

Reading this book you feel like you are racing through Europe at over 200mph with the wind whipping through your hair all while feeling like you are in a Time Machine and wanting to shake the world leaders and have them do something about Hitler’s rise of power in Motorsport all while flexing his (human)race-ending tendencies.

Reading “Faster” by Neal Bascomb (sh.itjust.works)
 

Highly recommend book to any fans of racing, and perhaps, of history. Fascinating read and a page turner!

And how can you change that as a lawmaker?

Edit: Of course this is meant to be a joke, because that’s the exact opposite of GOP. Capitalize on hate and drive hope into the bowels of hell.

What’s your font and size? in c/kindle@sh.itjust.works

My font isn’t as noticeable with some books. This is a Project Gutenberg book, but recommend installing and checking it out. https://brailleinstitute.org/freefont

Recommended way to run my scripts from a venv? in c/python@programming.dev

Does it need access to anything local? If not, you could run it as an AWS Lambda on a schedule.

Terrible headline. From article: “In an email to BI, a spokesperson for the City of Edinburgh Council said it is not moving tenants out of temporary accommodation to make way for Swifties.”

Back to reading after being sick for a bit! Happiness… (sh.itjust.works)
 

Updated to latest OS. Pretty cool. Enjoying some good reading since I’ve been out of commission for a bit.

What are folks thoughts on putting in personal information in for device recovery?

I’ve typically just use my first letter of name and phone number for device name.

Does anyone do anything different? What information do you include?

Also, just realized that I did put a device PIN on it, so. It sure if any information would be helpful if I lost it and it were found

[Help] Library loan expired (sh.itjust.works)
 

I am reading ‘Prequel’ by Rachel Maddow. Great book. I came down with a terrible cold that has sidelined my ability to focus. Can’t read while not feeling well. Anyhow… I put myself back on ‘Libby waitlist’ for library loan.

In meanwhile, I figured it can’t returned if I put it into ‘Airplane-mode’; Is that right?

HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND HAPPY ALMOST NEW YEAR!!!

I find if I choose two radically different subjects, or genres, it is less challenging and doesn’t feel overwhelming. For instance, I was reading ‘The Republic’ by Plato and ‘The Nasty Bits’ by Anthony Bourdain last time.

Now I am reading ‘Prequel’ by Rachel Maddow (non-fiction) and ‘The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store’ by James McBride (fiction).

Are you a two-timer?

Started this book and am really enjoying it thus far. It is a great follow-up, or prequel, if you will, to her podcast ‘Ultra’. Fascinating story, and a warning…
