You just need to interact with people. You'll figure it out as you go like the rest of us.

Or better yet- don't travel to the US.

Why Are Visa and Green-Card Holders Being Detained and Deported? in c/[email protected]

Because the rule of law is broken.

I see that. But I think the point stands; a no confidence motion would make him look weak and provide opposition talking points. Better to just dissolve the house and get on with it

I don't think the jouse will sit again. He'll go to the GG and ask for parliament to be dissolved. Why have the government fall when he wants to go to the polls anyways?

I honestly don't know. I'm physically at the office 35 hours a week. But I'm a knowledge worker and the problems I deal with are always rattling around in my head. So I think about them while driving or at the gym. If there was a way to track that I suppose it might be 70+ hours.

Chemists have moved away from cis and trans partly because of all of this. We use zusammen-together or entgegen-opposite now. I can attest to how politically charged a class about organic molecules can become.

I am not deeply versed on the socio-cultural side of it all, and there is clearly space to learn. I am reluctant to let cis hinge on a doctor's proclamation but I'll let it sit there for the moment.

I didn't eat supper tonight. (lemmy.ca)
 

I ate so many cookies I wasn't hungry. I'm sure there will be regrets - I might need a Tums before bed.

Friday Night (lemmy.ca)
 

I don't know if this is what your after, but I flew into Denver today. I ate a takeout burrito in my hotel room while watching tv. I'm going to be in bed by 8.

So my wife thinks we're getting shelled tonight. (lemmy.ca)
 

She doesn't really watch hockey so I don't know what her opinion is worth. But she wanted to do Leafs Lucky Guess with me this morning. Evidently we are going to lose 16-1 or something.

Do audits actually matter? (lemmy.ca)
 

The US 2nd circuit has ruled that auditors opinions aren't relevant in cases of investor fraud because the statements are too vague for people to rely on. Whut?

Wall Street Journal article here for those who have access.

Here is a professor's blog entry for a barrier free commentary on the importance of the case.

What is the biggest corporate heel turn that you know? (lemmy.ca)
 

I was thinking about this after listening to Marc Andreassen blather on about how he doesn't trust government as a repository of trusted keys and other functions. He advocates for private companies to perform critical functions. Standard libertarian stuff in many respects.

The problem of course is that corporations lack accountability. They can shift terms and conditions or corporate purpose and there is little meaningful recourse except to stop using them. I can think of small examples that don't widely resonate (Mountain Equipment Co-op I'm thinking of you 🤬) but are there big examples that I'm missing?

Recommendations for lightweight WSYWIG page editor? (lemmy.ca)
 

I am finally going to join the '90s and set up a blog. The audience is mostly students to show how the academic stuff blends with real world professional practice. I'm an adjunct so I have a foot in both worlds.

I have my domain names (parked for years) and free webhosting through my university - but the university doesn't provide any development tools. All of the recommended tools I've run across (weebly, wix, webflow etc.) either want to host the page, manage the domain name, or require a fee to link the page to my host. I'm simply looking for a low cost site builder where I can edit my files and move them to my webspace.

Any recommendations for a WSYWIG style editor? I'd be happy to not have to learn any actual coding, but will if I have to.

The last time I did any of this I was manually tagging static pages in notepad (lol).
