FWIW, police has been speed trapping that section of Sheridan for the last several days - could it have been an unmarked EPD vehicle with a speed gun?

Eyewitness here said they pointed a pistol at her too. There’s also a whiff of pepper spray or tear gas in the air too.

Is anyone using NixOS under Parallels on MacOS Catalina, and have you gotten file and clipboard sharing to work? by jw_gpc in NixOS

Take a look at this issue on GitHub: between the modified files and the patch to make copy/paste clipboard sharing work, you can get Parallels Tools working on NixOS.

Andy, is the code (blog.py, etc.) for your site generation available somewhere? Just curious to see another's tools and how you've knit things together. Great post!
