You know in narratives like books and movies where the
hostage-taker or otherwise bad guy uses this logic where he blames
the associates of his victim for what's about to happen to them?
"You chose this. You chose this by not complying with my demands."
It is not the antagonist that is killing/torturing the victim, it is the
associates of the victim that won't comply with the antagonists
demands.
(by the logic of the antagonist)
Ok now I am going to talk about Democrats... (and the liberal hostage-takers)
This is me thinking about what happens if there is no Democratic
primary in 4 years. Or if Democrats shut down a progressive
choice. I'm not gonna be hearing this hostage-taker Democrat "vote for us"
rhetoric.
Por ejemplo!, say Rashida Tlaib got really popular and the DNC did
some shady shit and swapped in Buttigieg.
In that scenario I am not voting for Buttigieg.
Because liberals will forget. They will wake up in four years
and act like it's a democracy. When it's not.
It's the DNC feeding you a shit sandwich and convincing you
it was a choice.
So liberals don't forget, and don't let your party pull shady shit.
That is your homework. -

There's this notion (maybe conspiracy) that there could be older civilizations but we
only see ones that would not have been scoured clean by glaciers.
(so valleys and some coastal areas)

The two i find really useful are:
(asdf:system-relative-pathname "dead-air" "_data/config.lisp")
Which will put it relative to the dead-air.asd file in your project.
OR to put it in your home directory:
(format nil "~a/.record_del.db" (uiop:getenv "HOME"))
Either of these should work on any OS type.

I have opinions about programming like, one of my consistent ones
is that shell scripts should use BOURNE syntax and not BASH.
But but but, that is like an ideal.
When I see people "getting stuff done" with a bash script,
I am like hell yeah!
Similar with JS. I am very hard on that language and don't like
the complexity and subjectivity of it and typescript :(.
But again that's an ideal. When I see people getting stuff
done in JS, i'm like hell yeah! -

Good thanks! I had covid, booo hiss! but i am better now yay!
I've been going down C and scheme and janet language rabbit holes.
I have a "language learning and then discarding" problem! :P
The cool thing is each iteration of this leaves a few langs at the top.
;; no order implied
- commonlisp
- scheme
- C
- BOURNE shell script (not bash)
- TCL / Expect
- Janet
I think golang fell off that list and C has kind of taken it's place.
I am surprised Python isn't on there, oh well (I still use it in maintenance mode).
I have been reading your fft posts (and not understanding them beyond knowing what a fft is :P)
