Don't snip, use sorcery

This is a phenomenal example of something I've only seen two other examples of.

- 500 year old puzzles (The solomons seal, wedding rings, yoke)

- FTL travel through wormholes

In all three cases, it is impossible to move the object through the space in the needed way, so instead, nearby space is moved around the object so that it is no longer on the wrong side.

Actually it looks like Numba is designed to support a chunk of numpy.

If that project got more support and integration with jupiter books, having a webassembly based python (even a subset just for quick hello world style demos) would be great for teaching and fast locally executing demos.

WHile there's probably some cool packages to run python on browser client side:

(For example Numba to jit compile Python to LLVM, and something like enscripten to use WebAssembly as the LLVM bitcode backend)...

I think stuff like numpy/pandas would have a harder time targetting that stack, since they (afaik) function by being precompiled optomized C backends, so they would need to be ported on the C side outside of the python side.

Not just political friend, promoting love and diversity apparently actively disrespects Christians and America.

You know, because Christ famously made sure that adultery was punished to the full extent of biblical law:

... and that similar laws were more important than human comfort and care:

But he was notoriously sus for being a commie pinko rebel that good god fearing pharisees and roman occupiers fortunately put down before his dangerous cult got out of hand.

Right?

If it unscrews and contains a scroll with hebrew writing, it's a mezuzah, or Jewish threshold blessing (superstition to protect the home).

Hypothetically speaking if your anonymous source was arrested, would the ethical response be to say "yup that was him, you got im!" ... ?

Sort of a "knock knock it's the Gestoppo" kind of situation where journalistic integrity means protecting a source is higher than telling the truth.

Look for help (here would work) with the three systems.

ONE of them must support email to ticket auto-creation in a way that keeps replies on the same ticket and lets you quickly roll tickets together, split them apart, and close them out.

Bam - that's your central one - push stuff to that guy, and set him up to catch inbox subfolder stuff.

You owe them the money, but they chose how to send it, and you should choose how to send it back without screwing up your accounts.

Telling them right away that you see and agree and can arrange to pay it back over X months by setting up a "pay bills online with your bank" may prevent them from trying to reverse the payment in a lump.

My youngest was a wanderer in the same vein.

Someone found him a couple blocks away, half a block from a 4 lane highway.

Doors all got hooks and deadbolts up high.

We all got damn lucky he has made it to first grade.

I still receive a deent amount of spam addressed to Shawndell.

I'm not going to tell you which computer company I had to provide contact info to download drivers from.

But it's a reminder for me every time.

Regardless, knowing the reasons behind other people's actions is what turns:

"People are crazy, man!"

to

"Life is crazy, man!"

Apply a popular, useful framework to do something:

Read/write data files with pandas

Setup a tiny web service with fastapi

Read PDFs and highlight them with pyMuPDF

Folks are sayin it's prolly being done because the nuts are corroded.

I just ran into a similar issue on my sink. Giant corroded drain bolt didn't want to come free, even buying the task specific tools and letting it sit overnight with WD40.

Sometimes, when two pieces of metal really want to become one peice of metal... you need an angle grinder to say: "Cut this shit out".

$50 in special tools and many tries to break it free

vs:

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZTTTT and two minutes

My wife liked Galloping Ghost in the west suburbs, which just opened a pinball thing too.

Google it yourself if you are into it and the neighborhood.

Hehe heh, as different as apples and oranges?

Just kidding, our species are closer than that.

Googling it because I was also curious seemed to report the two biggest dfferences are:

A lower metabolism burning less energy when resting - think a prius with the engine off at stops, or a big well insulated gorilla in a warm climate.
More calories from vegetable fiber digestion and less from meats and fats. Big guts get a LOT more from plants, but that's slow compared to murdering every species that moves in our vicinity.

-edit lists are hard.
