#Canadian (sorry). Being kind, empathetic and supportive to others, #vaccines, #vegans and #LGBT+ are cool; convoys and racists and *phobes are not. Computer Engineer, #software #developer, #technical #writer, #translation manager, reformed project manager and #SCRUMmaster, dad and boyfriend.

I like video games, programming, baking and cooking. While Im not #vegan, LawyerGF is, so I'm vegan-ISH.

Evidently, I am in a mood for self flagellation because I actually suffered through Trump’s entire statement today. If you also wish to punish yourself, here’s a link to it.

https://www.c-span.org/video/?536064-1/president-trump-holds-press-conference-guilty-verdict#&vod

There’s likely a ton of takeaways from this and his demeanor and all that hot take crap but I have a few points that may get overlooked:

  1. Trump repeatedly admits that he is willfully violating the gag order that is still in place, all but daring Merchan to hold him in contempt and jail him for it.

  2. If I were on Bragg’s team, this would be my first exhibit at sentencing to prove that Trump has no remorse and that an incarcerate sentence is necessary. It is a complete demonstration of the total lack of willingness to take responsibility for his criminal conduct, blaming anyone and everyone but himself for his criminal acts.

Just my $.02.

@Bam I couldn't do it. First 30 seconds and were already blaming the entire world.

Really hope this is braggs ex.1

@SirTapTap yeah there is a 30 hr Tencent adaptation. its actually more faithful to the original book (1 of 3) but its kinda slow, the acting is a bit wooden and/or the screenwriting sucked (hard to say i suspect its a disconnect between Chinese and western production methods). Netflixs moves faster and pulled a few macuffins to keep cast continuity thru s2 (book 2 is 100 yrs later) but i find is just as entertaining and its "respectful" of the source material unlike say Foundation was.

tezoatlipoca, to eggs
@tezoatlipoca@mas.to avatar

Ok well, two in the in a mug of water will leave u with zero eggs and a microwave to clean, good to know, good to know.

In my years of cooking I'd never thought of trying that. News; it's for a good reason no-one does this.

Where do you live and how do you feel about it?

Obviously, don't tell me exactly where you live, no actual addresses please! You can be as vague as you like.

I live in Central Missouri in the U.S.

Pros:

This is an absolutely beautiful place, green rolling hills, lots of rivers, lakes, ponds, and natural springs, cool caves to explore.

Lots of farming here, so great access to quality fruits, vegetables, meat, eggs, and dairy.

It's relatively inexpensive to live here compared with other states, because it's a "flyover".

I'm close enough to three major cities, that it's an easy day trip, and I'm about halfway to anywhere in the U.S.

We have one of the best Conservation departments in the U.S. and this is one of the few things that is a bipartisan issue. Lots of awesome nature programs that are free or cheap, state parks, conservation areas, bird watching, hunting, boating, foraging available to everyone.

Cons:

Yeah, it's a big one, it is a RED STATE, while a lot of the cities are blue, there is a large rural population, that votes red. Abortion is not legal here. People often vote against their own self interest.

While I'm not against responsible gun ownership, lots of people aren't responsible, and people have access to guns that definitely should not.

We have very few employee protections here, while the cost of living is relatively low compared with other places, it's taken years to get to a $12 minimum wage, and it's still not enough.

@RickiTarr I live in mid southwestern Ontario Canada. We're a ~90m train or drive away from Toronto which is nice, but we're just far away to not have megatropolis woes like Ultra-Traffic to deal with. While I live in a mid-sized metro area of about half a mil, twenty minutes in any direction gets you into farm fields where they all talk and behave like Letterkenny, which frankly is more accurate than most Canadians want to admit.

@RickiTarr While there's a bunch of nice things about Canada (like not paying for healthcare, still a rather progressive (freedom and rights) and protective constitutional, legal and legislative system) and we have gobs of nice nature to enjoy, we like some of our cousins south of the border are fighting a wave of conservative populism that is (trying to) dismantle a lot of the good things for $profit$. And while we don't have quite the same money in politics problem,

@RickiTarr we still give our big corporations way too much leeway (oil+gas, groceries, residential income trusts) and in the past 20 years especially they've been gouging and screwing us and our environment. Unless we bought our homes in the mid 00s, noone I know under 50 can afford to buy a house anywhere practical.

But, all things considered, still not a terrible place to live.

Managed to catch a just-shy-of-X1-class flare a few hours ago when I put my scope out on the deck.

The complex chaos of magnetic fields — that is much, much larger than the size of Earth — designated as Region 3664 and Region 3668 (center right sunspot smudge) has been spawning a great number of flares recently, flinging an truly stupendous amount of energy and relativistic particles out into the solar system.

@malcircuit I saw this and my first thought is "Awww, @NunavutBirder doesn't get to see any!"

(they live in Arctic Bay on the north end of Baffin Island which is just tickling NORTH of the zone. :)
