He is always furious. But this is what he wanted. The gerrymandered districts he forced through pushed a bunch of swing districts into comfortably R at the expense of some extremely D districts.

So yeah it’s great to see increased glbt representation (there is another gay senator) and latino representation but it’s not because we are becoming more tolerant. It’s because republicans have solidified control of the state legislature.

I like Smith and am glad he won. But it’s unfortunately the byproduct of losing one or two other democrat seats in the legislature. That’s not Smith’s fault it’s the republicans fault.

It’s an interesting question as far as dead naming as well. Normally it’s just a dick move or an accident because of old habits. But in the case of people who did important work that might be published under an old name it can be useful to get them the credit.

I’m a computer engineer so I looked up her work to see if I was familiar with it. I was wondering if I would need to lookup her dead name to find her important work. In her case her big book (which I recognized immediately and have on my shelf) was published after her transition so it wasn’t necessary.

If it had been written pre transition it would have been a shame to not know she was the author.

I know there is variance among the community. Of my three trans friends 2 prefere being referred to by their post transition gender in the past tense and once preferes they/them.

A coworker who came out requested he/him until after they took time off for treatment and then she/her afterwards.

When asked if he wanted his name updated on an award plaque while away he said no. So when she returned we had only updated her door name plate and info in the company directory.

Don’t forget the side dish.

Original run writers room had a math phd, chemistry phd, and comp sci phd on the team. I think that’s why any of the post cancellation seasons fail to capture the wit of the first run.

Being rich does get you a lot of protection in america.

On a level 2 charger.

That’s av level 2 charger.

They slow shown when the vehicle gets close to max charge about 95%. But i’ve yet to see one where it has a setting you can change.

Not really. Level 1 chargers are basically trickle chargers that run off a 120v outlet. Level 2 are 4 times the power running off 240v. Then you have the big fast chargers like the tesla super charger or chadmo.

So I have an EV and solar. This gives me a very clear picture of my power usage. The EV adds a lot to my base power usage. And this is with a class 1 charger. A commercial class 2 charger is 4 times the power usage.

Orange is my power usage. Here is a day whew I came home at noon charged and then went out in the evening charging when I returned home. You can see how much it adds to the base draw. The spikes are my ac.

I went to get blood lab work done today. When I went to pay the kiosk asked for a tip.

When I was getting my engineering degree in the senior year we had some question and answer sessions with people from industry. The guy in class who thought he was way smarter than he was asked about going directly into an MBA program after graduation.

The industry guy said it was a terrible idea. Your engineering knowledge would be 2 years out of date and who knows if you would be a good manager. He said to get a job and get some experience. If you show promise as a leader a good company will offer to put you through a MBA program and you well have the real world experience to make the best of it.

So I think there is a real use for an MBA degree but only after some real world experience in your field and showing basic team leadership. People who go straight for an MBA tend to be the those who just want to boss people around and can’t handle real work.

Technically he is not a felon until he is sentenced. So he will be a felon on July 11th.

That said I agree not letting people run from office because of convictions just incentives the state to go after political enemies.

There are two types of people. Those who get excited when they see a word they don’t know and those who get annoyed.

Combining elements of both to make something not as good as either.

A solid tool. I’ve been using it at least once a week for about 4 years now.

I hate most of the Democratic party. I fear the Republican party. So yeah I’ll be holding my nose and voting D.

Her campaign also diverted money for voter turnout operations from the “guarantied to win” rust belt states to New York to make her popular vote turnout bigger. Talk about putting the cart before the house.

Krita is great.
