Perspective can definitely change when one experiences needless suffering or death, or watches a loved one go through that

I spent a lot of time using msdn Microsoft docs for windows and activex c++ back in the day. Faintly envious there are videos in the c# docs.

I changed tech stacks, but comments and examples are awesome to use inside docs. Usually in the php, it’s the comments in the docs that are the best help, and example code and work around can be found there.

But most php depends on the tens of thousands of projects and libraries made others: so the docs one needs is scattered in the dependencies. Some who have good docs (laravel) and some that have no docs , in which case a debugger is best way to learn.

Technically this bill is not trying. It’s grifting.

The only point of her making this bill is to help her fund raisers later.

There are many people trying

A lot of the initial popularity of Isis in Iraq was due to very similar factors. This was an uprising of a complex mix of people and goals. Most involved at first were established leaders who were patriotic and tribes who were oppressed by the new and invalid government.

This of course was airbrushed in the west and countless thousands were killed by Americans during the uprising.

Syria was destabilized due to the mass death.

The main takeaway here is that force often seems like an answer but that can go badly

Pretty words. Will never be implemented. Why was it not introduced when it had a chance to pass? Or at least invoke more talk?

As it is now, hardly anyone will hear of it and it will be forgotten soon, except as a sound bite promoting fund drives.

Huge boost for working people. People were able to negotiate for better pay, and travel to another employer if the pay was too low.

It was a social revolution for the survivors.

But it was more like a 50 to 60% reduction in supply. That Black Death did not mess around

There is too much blame to go around, and not enough people and orgs wanting to acknowledge blame.

Trump did not become a household name randomly. He was helped and aided by many. And I have noticed hundreds of times how the main stream media enabled his word salad and gave it meaning and power. In real life, not many people listen to blathering hateful idiots.

I’m not well versed in the saints, but I think this is a better origin story than most.

All we need is a tearful prayer, with a vow towards some further action: even if it’s just in a cell for the rest of his life.

And then he is on the same level, in my opinion, of some medieval saints I know a little about.

Could easily be a saint for denied claims and other obstacles in healing.

Flies and moths sometimes got behind panels and caused issues. Hence computer bugs entered our lexicon.

It’s easier to imagine the insects entering with this picture,

I’ll try this later.

They can vary even by the same author: I felt burned by the “he who fights with monsters” series whose 1st book is simply awesome in my opinion, but by book 10 has devolved

I’ve been listening to the bobiverse, by Dennis Taylor. I like the series about an ordinary guy who just happens to later be copied a few thousand times. ( hard science fiction)

The latest book was released this year, and while it can hold its own, I like the earlier books better. And the first book is one of my favorites
