I have watched a raindrop caress a flower
with the tenderness of a lover
and found more meaning in that moment
where it clings to the edge
than in the philosophies of men

Wait, wait, wait. We're doing Monday again? Seriously?! Didn't we learn anything last week?

@User47@vmst.io which leads to things like growing your own food, fixing/driving old cars, and doing your own home repairs....
Once you notice corporate feudalism in one area you start seeing it EVERYWHERE.
Showing us the way forward. 💚

I think it's useful to remember: people usually, honestly believe their religion. But one can't look to scripture or even necessarily church teachings to understand what those beliefs are. You need to look at their actions, attitudes, and the things they are willing to do in the name of their god.

Hey folks! I'm migrating servers. Last time I did this it went fine but just in case it doesn't here's my new profile. See you on the flip side!

@vmstan@vmst.io @djwfyi@vmst.io Thanks for making vmst.io a great home the last couple years. So long and thanks for all the fish!

That will be my review of the 2020s: the dumpster is bigger and it's all on fire.

@Lironah@mstdn.games for sure. It's always been distressing to me how many people can read the gospels and come away thinking the wealthy, powerful, and religious are god's chosen. The red words are not subtle on that point.

Python packaging and dependency management remains a massive dumpster fire. If anything the dumpster is more massive than 20 years ago when I learned this stuff and all of it is still on fire.
Then again, does any ecosystem do this right?

Clicked through because I thought maybe they were looking for a principle engineer or director level and nope. Looking for a EE with 8 years experience. 🤷
Sound of rain on leaves. Smell of petrichor. 🥰

It's not exactly a helpful metric but "sensible abstractions" == "I can still understand them 5+ years later AND they save me time"
Do with that what you will. 🤪

@lifewithtrees@mstdn.social yes definitely identity and confirmation bias folded together. And that identity is very fragile. They are afraid of losing in-group status if they seem to be accepting of the wrong thing, person, or idea. Not to mention the fear of literal hell. I think that fear is the motive force behind the "feels like persecution".
I've sometimes thought maybe the "gay agenda" is "people can be themselves without fear" and that is exactly what would bring christians real salvation.

@ienvision@mastodon.social I love this for the "government spending is out of control" party.

@elaterite@mastoart.social tub drains are the worst!
Except maybe water heater fittings which I have yet to successfully remove. Easier to just replace the whole damn thing.

@valthonis@dice.camp That's got to be it. These people have lost all sense of what money is worth.
First day in the 80s at my house. A good afternoon to make an ice tea and take a nap with the cat.

Btw that's not an emoji, it's a current selfie. 🫤

@ikluft@avgeek.social weirdly, you can kinda remove the vertical stabilizer and move the horizontal stabilizers to the front and it works. But pilots are polarized around whether this looks "elegant" or "dumb". 😁

@tomsart@mastodon.social Excellent! I was just looking for beta on this. How was the final ascent? I've heard it's steep and icy this year.

@ikluft@avgeek.social you're right! I'd forgotten how substantial the winglets are on long-ez and company. The only thing I can think of without verticals is the B2, and I recall hearing it was famously unstable.
