If you still don't understand what to do with that level of assist, you need more help than I'm willing to freely give.
Put another way, I'll throw life preservers right at you. But if you want me to swim out and get you, I'll charge for that.
and that's OK.

“When you leave people without choices you place people at risk. Poverty costs lives. Poverty kills.
When you provide people with an income guarantee alongside wrap-around social supports, it’s a cost-saving measure. It’s good economics to look after people.”

My article in @CND_Dimension
“Who Controls the basic income narrative? GLBI could lift millions of Canadians out of poverty, giving workers leverage and empowering them to make their own choices”

Just spoke to maybe the top ICU doc in Tampa Bay about which patients are still dying (50-70 a day) in FL and he said “it’s mostly 50 year olds who are not vaccinated.”
“People who are vaccinated don’t die.”
Direct quote.

I read somewhere that kids are like having pieces of your heart outside your body. Feeling that very keenly tonight.

Ah, my adopted home state. Fuckers.
Florida's legislature has approved new election legislation that would place restrictions on ballot drop boxes and voting by mail.
It would also limit who can hand out items, including food and water, to voters waiting in line.

In 2016, my buddy Ted did this cover by Tears for Fears on the hammer dulcimer. It got 2M views. Later that year, the Tears were touring near where he lives. Curt Smith & Jamie Wollam from the band paid him a visit and recorded a version with Ted. youtube.com/watch?v=iAFT4eVX…

I ran it from 5.25” floppy and printed on my 9-pin dot-matrix Epson parallel printer. Tractor-feed paper and all.

One of my most formative memories was seeing Ches talk at USENIX. He was up there wearing an aloha shirt, shorts, and sandals. All I could think was, “When I grow up, I want to be him!”

My boss at the Labs was Barbara Lee, who was a big deal in the internal Labs InfoSec community. She mentored me, introduced me to folks like @SteveBellovin and @wcheswick, and the rest is history.

Ruined my college GPA but learned a lot. Recruiter called our CS lab during my senior year looking for Sun Admins to work at Bell Labs. Got destroyed on the interview because I thought I was hot shit. They hired me anyway and I learned just how much I had to learn.

Went to a small liberal arts college with a CS program so tiny that the students got to run the network. Learned Unix on BSD SunOS and TCP/IP from Comer’s book and making lots of mistakes. Installed so many games in my homedir that they made me admin so other people could share.

Bought an original IBM PC (5150) with more paper route money at the start of high school. Was one of the first kids in my school to turn in typed papers done on a word-processor (WordStar). I kept modding and upgrading that machine for a decade, keeping the original 5150 chassis.

My older brother had a brief interest in computers, but watching him got me plenty interested. Bought a second-hand TRS-80 with my paper route money at age 11 and learned BASIC. Learned Logo on Apple IIs at the local community center.
