With computer stuff, you can do even better: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Literate_programming

TL;DR: your documentation and your shell script (sequence of console commands you run to accomplish the task) can be the same file.

(Dunno what kind of chemistry you do, but you may have already come across this concept in the form of Jupyter notebooks or something like that.)

While I’m at it, I’d also like to mention Ansible and Git, for when you really want to keep good records and have a reproducible setup. Don’t worry about them immediately as it’s probably too overwhelming to learn all at once, but keep 'em in the back of your mind for later.

Remember the part where it took basically ecoterrorism to get the point across?

How far back do you have to go to find whales with fingernails/claws?

Honestly, I don’t think it’s possible to get by just trusting any particular guide without developing at least some actual understanding of the concepts underlying what you’re doing. The field is just too wide and rapidly changing for any source of info to be authoritative (and stay authoritative indefinitely after the guide is written), so it’s super important to develop the skill of looking up multiple different and possibly conflicting approaches to the task, thinking critically about them, and then synthesizing your own approach that works for your specific situation.

LOL, nice try with the blatant dishonest spin. Too bad your attempt to falsely paint ICE as the ‘good guys’ falls flat if you’ve got two brain cells to rub together and realize that they were there to kidnap the workers, not arrest the owners.

No, we need to slam a Top 40 classic rock song in there because that’s the only thing the plebeians who see this movie will understand.

I wasn’t actually sure when i wrote it (it just sounded “truthy”), but I just checked and found this:

Some adherents of the QAnon conspiracy theory have also borrowed from the reptilian conspiracy theory, including elements shared in anti-Semitic conspiracy theories.

For the record (because I just looked it up, as I also have this problem): it’s ctrl+tab, but only if you enable “Ctrl+Tab cycles through tabs in recently used order” in Settings first.

Considering how few references there were in the post

Why use many words when few words do trick?

The Ukraine war started in 2014 with the annexation of Crimea.

That’s one chimp’s kink, not a trend.

Also, I did not expect to write that sentence.

What a shitty, dishonest retort. The entire goal is to be allowed to talk about it so he can organize and gain allies so there’s a chance to win, but you’re just telling him to pointlessly suicide-by-cop.

It’s not at all strategically comparable and it’s dishonest rhetoric and it’s cyberbullying. That’s the kind of shit that ought to be banned!

!the_pack is leaking.

IIRC Hogg wanted to primary old incumbents with younger ones, but not necessarily with more progressive ones. It was more of a credibility (and possibly anti-corruption) thing than an ideology thing.

And yet they’re all for government intervention when it’s stuff like zoning (telling you where and how you’re allowed to live) or copyright (telling you what ideas you’re allowed to share)…

What did you think that was a euphemism for?

Don’t forget South Sudan.

If I could easily emigrate to a country that didn’t suck, I would.
