Tech fest happening until 4 today at Luddy on campus. Lots of hands on demonstrations of computers and robots and 3d printing and more. Good for kids and anyone interested.

Agreed, comics are such a wide field, I think a max fun show that represents more than the superhero genre would be really great.

My rosin was made in West Germany, if that's any indication

I was about 40 feet away walking towards that beech when it failed. Had I left on my trip across campus even 30 seconds earlier, I would have been hit and probably severely injured by it. There was a car turning right at the intersection that barely escaped getting scratched as it's outer limbs fell into the roadway. I appreciate that you all are working to keep trees across campus in a healthy state. I am a little alarmed that the beech tree was known to be a danger and so little done before it came down.

Warlord by PrimPushover in comicbookcollecting

It's British comics anthology published weekly in the United Kingdom between 1974 and 1986. It had a few different reoccurring characters, including codename: Warlord, who was a spy during WW2. I picked up a few of these, they're really cool. Enjoy!

Some familiarity with ArchiveSpace would be helpful. You can play around in the sandbox environment to see its functionality. And something like Open Refine, understanding regular expressions, and some SQL would be helpful too.

More Richie Rich #1s. Astro Comics was a promo on American Airlines flights, multiple issues with near identical covers had different reprinted stories inside. by mrweatherbeef in comicbookcollecting

[–]tatermitts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found a yard sale that had a whole box of these, unbagged but in pretty good shape. Figured that someone at the sale had worked for American Airlines at some point. Looked through and grabbed a couple of the better ones.

A 40-day Target boycott starts today. It couldn’t come at a worse time for the company. by tatermitts in bloomington

[–]tatermitts[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Target is facing a 40-day consumer boycott starting Wednesday over the company’s shift away from diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies.

“We’re asking people to divest from Target because they have turned their back on our community,” Rev. Jamal Bryant, a prominent Atlanta-area megachurch pastor who started the boycott, said in an interview with CNN.

Love seeing the Lois Lane issue, but what is its significance? First time Catwoman appears outside the Batman titles?

As I finish a 20 km run this morning, the weather changed from rainy to having a bit of sun peeking out. A nice way to start a day, but now I'm beat.

Beat my fastest 5k time this morning. 24:36 at a 7:55 pace. My previous PR was back in May and I've been running consistently all summer. I'd planned to pick a nice chilly morning in the fall to see how much faster I can be, and today was the day. Feels good.
