I can certainly live without scrolling past AI drivel to find what I'm looking for.

@NeonPurpleStar

Is it any good?

@NeonPurpleStar

I taught CS at university level for a few years, but my first degree was in biochem so I knew how brains work. Being rested is 90% of the game. My students did better because I was careful to schedule tests around other instructors, taught class outside on nice days (projecting on a wall), and hosted homework nights before tests that ended just late enough that everyone actually went to bed.

You aren't crazy, teachers just aren't generally very good.

@NeonPurpleStar

Yeah, that's a thing, but anyone who doesn't shouldn't.

@NeonPurpleStar

Oh lort, you're up and I'm still not asleep?

@NeonPurpleStar @kimwulff @VikingChieftain @arstechnica @lindamarie

From my point of view, not missing and wounding an animal is my driver. Eating something decent and honoring my culture is what I enjoy about it. So yeah, not missing is number 1 to me.

Nothing wrong with not shooting. It's expensive and a lot of assholes are into it.

Shotguns bruise:

@NeonPurpleStar @kimwulff @VikingChieftain @arstechnica @lindamarie

The water a naval drone is sitting in is going to give a lot stability because it will absorb some recoil. Shotguns kick. Auto-loaders kick less, but I've haven't seen cheap ones, although maybe second hand. Having one attached to a drone and not smooshed on a shoulder and cheek? That's crazy to me.

Holy shit. They're mounting shotties on drones to shoot down drones. 😮

Oh I get you. You didn't get everything you wanted. Granted, I doubt you've ever spent your free time in the community trying to fix things. Being a keyboard warrior is so much more satisfying.

So, because you can't live in a perfect world, everyone else can just die.

You weren't raised right

@NeonPurpleStar

Well, if you're looking to improve your mood, that's definitely less depressing than The Last of Us. 😆

@NeonPurpleStar

If reading is your jam, do that. Whatever it takes. Above all, appreciate the moment because who knows what pile of shit we'll be treading tomorrow.

@NeonPurpleStar

I think everyone is in a bad mood. I haven't slept well in a few days and my mom was more obnoxious than usual yesterday, which is awful. I'm about to tell her to find herself a psychiatrist or I'm leaving and she can take care of her own damn self.

Things just suck. I bought $75 worth of vegetable seeds last night and I'm about to start preparing the gardens for spring.

If you think food is expensive now, it will get much worse. There's a lot of talk in the US about Canadian oil becoming more expensive. That affects the cost of logistics. By percentage, we're less dependent on Canadian oil than we are potash. As far as I know, manure doesn't provide a lot of it, although someone working in ag might know something I don't.

This means our food supply is going to get taxed from more than one angle.

@Jgmeadows

You vote with your dollars, and it absolutely makes a difference. To the oligarchs, it makes the only difference. This isn't a petro state like Russia, where they can just export natural resources while starving the people.

@NeonPurpleStar

I get that feeling too.

@NeonPurpleStar @kimwulff

Is it the kind of movie that might keep me up at night?

@NeonPurpleStar @kimwulff

He eliminated a bunch of his friends too, if I recall correctly.

Trump's goons should take note.

I'd like to hear from the Soviet States as always.

@kimwulff

Trump is a much dumber Stalin
