I am behind on rent and said I would pay today on payday, but payday was shit because I missed so many days due to having covid
I've done everything I can to get this far, and I still need help, again
I'm so tired of being in this position

A very informative video on the typeface used in Sonic 1. Something I've not really thought about compared to 2 & 3, but still really remarkable. https://youtu.be/IQB06fb51OU?si=dAOrkZxNrzKnEoZP

I understand this sentiment, but adopting a dog from a shelter is a very complicated process here.
They want to do at home inspections and interviews, and you are not even guaranteed to get the dog you wanted.
A lot of people adopted or bought dogs during the pandemic, then abandoned them not long after, so the shelters made it a lot more difficult.
I'm not sure I would have met their inspection as I was a hot emotional mess at the time.
@dansup
Wow, that's crazy. France has taken good measures. For instance, pet shops can no longer sell dogs and cats.
When you adopt, you can't take the animal home right away. You have to wait 7 days.
All of this is to avoid impulse decisions that can lead to new abandonments.
But what you describe is too much IMO. It discourages people from adopting.

Apropos of nothing.
@jwildeboer It doesn't need a Congressional supermajority - just the majority of the cabinet. The Congress *can* remove the President with a supermajority, for "High Crimes and Misdemeanors" in office.
@dneary
See the end of 25.4
"determines by two-thirds vote of both Houses that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties"

Alan looks so freaking good again this season. Pure eye candy. 🤤
According to data from levels.fyi, Meta is the top company OpenAI hires software engineers from followed by Google and Apple. On average they get a $300K - $400K pay bump.
You can fit an entire other software engineer’s salary in the pay bump. 😬
@carnage4life does it come with suicide nets too?
@maiwann On dirait 😭

Blog post: Where are we going? https://bigzaphod.com/blog/where-are-we-going/
I should blog more often probably.
Although maybe after reading this, perhaps I shouldn't blog more.
Hmm.
@bigzaphod Fully agree! Made a brown bag about MacDVI (my DVI/HDMI adaptor for Mac Plus TTL video) in Daily Job and started with this slide about why doing retro-computing.
The first reason is exactly that: if you want to learn how all this stuff works, you need something simple. Nobody can understand an entire machine these days, but back then, one could. It was within the capacity of a single human (if you abstracted physics at some level, of course).
(Yes, I used that font on all slides.)
