I'm curious if any college CS courses require running services (outside messing around in a lab) nowadays? Debugging intuition comes from experience & is built up from years & years of seeing systems fail in different ways. Big O isn't going to save you when prod is down.

Don’t forget: the RGs/ Brexitists are holding out for a Biden defeat in the midterms, & again in 2024, freeing them & their US counterparts (so they hope) to complete their dystopian, society- & democracy-shredding project. /13.

The Republican party wants you to know that the student loan cancelation will cost $400 billion over the next 30 years. What @GOP don't want you to know is their tax policies from JAN 2017 - JAN 2021 cost America $2 trillion in 1 year and $7.5 trillion in 4 years.

A girls' school in Iran brought a member of the IRGC-run Basij paramilitary to speak to students. The girls welcomed the speaker by taking off their headscarves & chanting "get lost, Basiji". Teenage girls have been at the forefront of protests for days. xitter.cf/1500tasvir/status/1577…

After the crudité thing, I was like “ok but he probably won’t come out in favor of incest.” After the tapes came out where he seemed okay with incest, I was like “ok but he probably didn’t kill over 300 dogs by injecting expired drugs straight into their hearts…”

One day I was on the yard and a skinhead asked about the “Freiheit” on my chest. I told him it was German for “freedom” and he responded with “Right on brother.” Little did he know I was giving him the middle finger. Little did he know I longed for freedom from him.

23/ Because, there is little else that Putin can do to Ukraine he has not already done. City destruction, rape, torture, murder, annexation and nuclear threats have not cowed the Ukrainians. They continue to show how a free people can defeat authoritarians. Take note Xi!

xitter.cf/JofArnold/status/15698… I dunno, maybe a line this long means nothing to you, but it reminds me of Hands Across America en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hands_… (Yes, I'm old.)

Markets may allocate discretionary purchases, but the core of healthcare is not discretionary. Fundamentally, an unconscious person in cardiac arrest in the back of an ambulance *cannot* send price-signals by shopping for an ER. 10/

As a blue-collar kid who worked his way through college, I know firsthand the sacrifices people make to receive an education. Biden’s reckless, unilateral student loan giveaway is unfair to the 87 percent of Americans without student loan debt and those who played by the rules.
