I'd have to say Osaka is the city I know best in Japan. It's a livable city, Tokyo at half the price. I could live in Osaka.

But rural Japan is totally different - but I'd prefer to raise my kids with their feet in the dirt and not on concrete..

@skinnylatte

I've lived in a blur of cities - they all blend together now. I loved them all, especially the Chicago, Old Town, Lincoln Park area.

Returned two years ago - nobody I knew was left.

"When I consider everything that grows
Holds in perfection but a little moment,
That this huge stage presenteth nought but shows...

I told my kids, everyone ought to spend a few years in the Big City - the clubs, the art, the hustle and bustle. Don't raise kids there, though

C++... what a horror story. I knew the woman who wrote cfront.

C++ is for writing solutions to problems people never have.

@Tharpa

What did I do to feel either good or bad about? I have this ugly smile for people who want to lump my six-language-speaking US Army veteran ass in with the rest of these mouthbreathers.

I picked up this box the other day because I was doing a Rust-and-RabbitMQ presentation... my tale of woe follows:

They told me the presentation box will be Windows 11, so I'll do it on my old corpo-dev box. Updated WSL whereup it defecated and refused to run Docker - or my IDE.

Fugg-o-wee, says I, and picked up this box and installed Fedora Workstation upon it. Ran everything beautifully.

I am no zealot - if your sweetie is all about gentoo, that's a wonderful thing.

Bessie Coleman (1892-1926)
-first licensed Black woman pilot.

Denied access to flight training in the USA, Bessie Coleman learned French and went to France for flight training.

When astronaut Mae Jemison made history as the first black woman in space, she was carrying a photograph of Bessie Coleman with her.

What if the entire world in which you lived was a stage set? What if all you cared about what what you looked ike on the control monitors?

That's Donald Trump's world. Every minute of every day. For 15 seasons, his bullshit TV show portrayed him as a big success. And NBC fired him for talking shit about Mexicans.

He wears stage makeup in real life.

He's living in a delusion of his own making and he is POTUS because other people want to live in that world, too.

@evan

This is a political Tar Baby. It's just Trump trying to sow dissent and kick dust in the air, creating distractions for his hitherto unprecedented looting.

I recommend: Harriet Tubman: The Road to Freedom by Catherine Clinton.

My hometown, Wheaton Illinois, was a major layover for the Underground Railroad.

Anyone who still believes in Bitcoin at this point is not worth listening to. Dorsey is a kook

@benroyce

... and it was totally unnecessary. All Putin had to do, when he came to power, was keep his cronies happy. Put an economic marble on that terrain, it would roll straight to Moscow and St Petersburg. Russia could be amazingly wealthy.

He would have friends.

But he's such a shitweasel, incapable of thinking strategically.

I don't give him six months more. His fall will be great.

@mister_shade02X2 @benroyce

That's a bet I'll take. Putin will die of gunshot within two years at most

@dsmdexter @benroyce @mister_shade02X2

You could be right.

@benroyce @dsmdexter @mister_shade02X2

That's SOP for the West. It never works. It didn't break Saddam, it hasn't broken Iran, hasn't broken NoKo.

Who has it broken.

Ben, it's nothing but eyewash. Looks like they're doing something.

@benroyce @dsmdexter @mister_shade02X2

The current Ukraine war has become a war of attrition. Whiz bang gadgets don't win wars. I've heard all this before, those cheerful chuckleheads in Saigon on the Friday Night Follies, telling us how many Vee Cee they'd killed. We dropped more ordnance on Laos and Cambodia than all of WW2, German and Allied, including the nuclear weapons.

This is becoming a Verdun, a lobster trap. Too little, too late.

@skinnylatte

What do you think of this proposal?

We should know who's in the country. If we reformed work visas, we could have people coming and /going back home/ if that's what they want - and be allowed to come back without all this rigamarole.

What we don't want is a two tier system of "illegal aliens" and everyone else.

I sense every social media entity gets in trouble over time, once it reaches an arbitrary size.

Here's some kitten music. I played a lot when both my children and my cats were young.
