Ook the Librarian

I live in the second one. On purpose. I’ll never wear my debian tshirt.

If.

This can’t help in the short term, I would consider learning steno. It used to cost thousands to rent specialized equipment to do it. Now with Plover (foss), the software component is free. You just need a keyboard with n-key rollover to do it.

I wouldn’t actually recommend learning on a standard keyboard. I personally use an ortholinear for typing, and that’s what got me into plover.

One way this would help one disabilities to make money is that with high-speed internet, you can caption internet broadcasts or remote company meetings. There are nonprofits that you would work for to find companies that need your service.

Fun fact: 200-foot radio towers are free. You can take them home. I have 257 200-foot radio towers.

As someone with protanomaly (colorblindness due to sucky red cones), this guy is a hero.

You’re correct in a lot of languages; Excel comes to mind. Just that’s not how int rand() works in C.

Sorry, I don’t why you’re getting snark and even being accused of using the word “integer”.

How can you enjoy your tea without a window?

Exactly. More precisely, the wording is making the reader confuse assets and debts. Which side of the ledger does that sheep actually belong on?

“Daddy, why do people have to eat?”

[long pull from cig] “Plants… They came here. Now we are enslaved to eat them. It is their way.”

Some stores sell a little shelf for your shower crunchwraps. They have a little suction cup on them. It’s a really clever design.

That’s fucked.

“We need some one to play Rosa Parks.”

“Well this two-year-old has the only notable characteristic.”

They do shit like this and say wokeness makes them feel bad.

You go your whole life thinking Beavis isn’t real. Then I see this.

Not quite homeless, Paul Erdős was a nomadic mathematician. He use to travel to universities, couch-surf with a mathematician, and solve a problem with them.

He would say, “another roof, another proof.” As a result, he has a huge number of collaborators. The stat Erdős number is like the six degrees from Kevin Bacon game.

People seemed glad to have this oddball stranger as a house guest.

Crunchwrap supreme. Next question.

So I’ve live a few places around the US (all east of the Missisip. So it’s not like a good survey), but the place that is worst for this has been southern Louisiana (north shore). Everywhere kinda sucks, but it’s anarchy there.

Why are you the judge of what conditions make it acceptable?

This is just more propaganda from the People’s Front of Judea.

Don’t get me wrong, he is a folk singer. But listening to what he is singing over can catch you off-guard.

I’m not a music expert but here goes.

Paul Simon is most identified as folk. The act Simon and Garfunkel is basically pure folk if such a thing exists.

Listen to the opening of Late in the Evening. He’s singing folk, but there is no guitar (to my ear). Instead it’s a bass guitar playing funk. Later some horns come in. They sound like mambo to me.

There are two songs on Graceland that he recorded with a South African band. This was during apartheid. He heard a bootleg tape from this SA group, and had to travel to a part of South Africa that he was banned from doing business in.

Does he make it some powerful statement? No, that would be a stunt. He just wanted to make music with them. “I Know What I Know” is about the insipid-ness of show biz party-networking culture. It’s wild.
