If you want to do web requests/ use API’s, use ‘requests’

graphs/reporting, I’ve used ‘bokeh’ before, it was nice.

I’ve never used PyDroid, so I’m not sure how you’d install things, but these are both available via pypi, python’s package repository.

Heh, eating isn’t the only time they have to worry about protein absorption.

This map, but for coal, tells a far worse story.

There’s an earlier bit that complements that nicely:

“it turns out that the core competency of smiling and promising people things that you can’t actually deliver is highly transferable.”

what the fuck are you gonna do the first time something makes it up the stairs? I hope you have a flamethrower ready.

I’m in the U.S. The problem is that violence is almost literally the cornerstone of our culture. The entire prehistory and history of the U.S. starts with violence. Displacing a people, warring with them for centuries to carve out a place in a land that keeps killing settlers. More violence and death as cities are established and more natives are killed. Every other super power at the time killing each other over this land, finally the descendents of the settlers revolting against foreign rule, more war, and a country established on stolen, blood soaked land. Built, fed, and clothed by slaves.

All the whole fighting neighboring descendents of settlers in bloody wars, over stolen land, driven unceasingly by “Manifest Destiny”.

More war as the descendents of settlers, now natives to their barely 100 year old country, proceed to kill each other over the right to enslave others, creating a cultural schism that still exists over 150 years later.

Fast forward through two global wars barely 50 years later, and hardly a generation apart, we have global Mutual Assured Destruction doctrine casting a shadow over every single human life for every day since 1962.

An oft forgotten underground sea of violence lies between the fragile crust of civility that supports U.S. society. Even the government itself is adversarial, pitting branch against branch, state against federal, local against state to maintain a balance checked by the threat of violence and anarchy.

Oh, and through it all, an ever present an undercurrent of racism, a miasma permeating the fabric of everything this country was built on and with.

Historically, when it wasn’t guns, it was mobs, lynching, firebombing entire towns and neighborhoods, knives, fists, terrorism, crosses set on fire, sundown towns, racist rallies, segregation, cultural warfare, propaganda, economic terrorism and oppression through targeted laws, the prison system, low wages, and the violence inherent in capitalism in general.

Violence has driven, and continues to drive, the vast majority of decisions made in this country.

tl;dr analogy: The guns are the polar bear sitting on the melting iceberg. The violence inherent in U.S. culture is the ever rising global average temperature, and we’re not even pretending to address the violence.

It’s one of those cruel ironic twists. Wages actually have increased, but inflation has far outpaced them.

It’s only barely begun to level back out. The real question is if the wages will stay high once inflation (and greedflation) calms the fuck down.

I know, I know, it’s pronounced “Nyïmp”

Full name is GNUIMP anyway

“granodiorite” sounds exactly the kind of name someone who doesn’t want to admit it’s just granite would make up.

Texas has elected judges, and we’ll, I’ll let you decide how that’s gone.

It’s because the salmon dies at the end.

My money is on non-existent. I bet one of those dudes is real, at best.

Anarchism: The theory or doctrine that all forms of government are oppressive and undesirable and should be abolished.

Anarchist: Decides to wash dishes, or not wash dishes, on their own. Literally nothing else is defined in this scenario.

This meme is perfect, because that’s cat’s face is saying “I don’t know what is happening or why, but I’m determined to see this through to its conclusion”
