computers were a mistake
Needed to adapt my smartspin2k to an older bike, emailed them, they told me where to get the stl and where I could purchase the kit if I needed it within a couple hours. Fantastic service, might print it and buy a kit, no matter what, just so they get the business.

I was informed I won the conference crud contest today because my post kubecon illness is shingles - which is not the contest I wanted to win, but winning is winning I suppose.

SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live.

Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps:

* Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled

* Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employed—but in jobs that pay poverty wages

CHATGPT: I understand where you're coming from. You worked really hard to get here, and now it's time to enjoy the fruit of your labors.

CHATGPT: The ring is precious. Sometimes friends don't have your best interests at heart.

ISILDUR: true

I would like my state, every state, to mandate badges, name plates, no masks, for all law enforcement in the state. And if federal agents try to break the mandate, arrest them, then let the courts sort it out.

Every time I think subscribing to the NYT might be worth it again, they end up reminding me why I unsubscribed within 48 hours.

Every. Time.

Well, without an ankle monitor, what is to stop her from co-authoring another op-ed? 
NEW: Rümeysa Öztürk's attorney Mahsa Khanbabai confirms ICE improperly tried to make her wear an ankle monitor:

"Despite an 11th hour attempt to delay her freedom by trying to force her to wear an ankle monitor, Rümeysa is now free and is excited to return home, free of monitoring or restriction."
Here's Judge Sessions's written order for Rümeysa Öztürk's release.

We haven't yet seen confirmation that she's been released—I'll certainly update you as soon as it appears! storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
