I will give ESRI credit for their online stuff. It’s expensive, but it’s also pretty great. We’re actually thinking about getting an online subscription but no software licenses.

I didn’t discover it this uear, but I started using QGIS professionally when the small city that hired me to, among a lot of other duties, be the new GIS department.
Turns out they thought ArcGIS cost the same as like Office or Acrobat, and they didn’t budget for it for the fiscal year that started 2 weeks before I started working.
Anyway, I’ve gotten pretty good with QGIS, and we’re sticking with it. It does everything I need it to do, and I can still pull stuff from most REST servers.

I’m really, truly not trying to be flippant. But welcome to the first taste of adulthood. What you plan for your life and what your life becomes are very different things. I am not who I expected to be. I am not in the career I expected. I don’t have the same interests I expected, and I only have like 2 friendships from my high school days that I’ve really maintained.
But the thing is, none of that is necessarily bad. I enjoy my job, but as a high schooler “municipal development” wasn’t a career to dream about, even though it can be very satisfying.
I have different friends and interests, but they’re not worse. It’s just that the world broadens as you age.
You can’t really know who you are until the training wheels come off. That’s where you’re headed by the sound of it. Is it scary and stressful? Absolutely. But when you come out of it you’ll be the person you are, not the person somebody expects you to be.
The 20s were an amazing time where everything in my life got flipped around more than once. Now that I’m a few decades past it, I can better appreciate how much I grew in that time.
I also miss having a more cooperative body.
Bioshock.
I don’t think there will every be a more satisfying twist for me. The twist was about me, the human playing the game, and only works because of the nature of the format.
It was perfection.
Correct. And I appreciate that. A couple wanting a religous wedding should know that the pastor that’s blessing the union supports them.
In this case it is. All 50 states are required to perform gay marriages as of June 26th, 2015. The ruling took immediate effect nationwide. Clerks were having to hand-edit marriage licenses to allow for same-sex certificates because within an hour of the ruling people were showing up at courthouses to get married in states where it had been illegal.
Churches aren’t required to perform same-sex marriages nationwide, however.
All 50 states are recognize gay marriage since Obgerfel v Hodges in June 2015.
According to the GSS, only 10% of Americans reaponded “Agree” or “Strongly Agree” to the statement “Homosexuals should have the right to marry” in 1988 (first year the question was asked).
In 2004, it was 30%.
In 2022 it was 67%.
Also according to the GSS, 40 years ago a third of Americans thought homosexuals shouldn’t have the right to speak.
We’ve made remarkable progress in a very short period.
It would be half-true if we hadn’t gotten rid of a letter (the thorn, which made the"th" sound)
For a long time, they used the letter “Y” instead of “th”.
That’s how we have weird relationships with old English words like “You/Thou,” and “The/Ye.”
It was in the first couple hundred, and I was being selective in what I read. Newsletter and verification emails could be safely ignored, while services I actually have that are attached to my bank accounts get a closer look.
What do you do about the generation of Russians who have lived West of that border their entire lives?
This is the real rub about border disputes that last more than a few years.
Because it’s a hell of a deterrent. If we strategically destroy 99% of the arsenal they’re still capable of effectively wiping out any adversary.
There’s a reason we haven’t been in a shooting war with Russia.
I don’t think it did well in theatres. It was also released around the time of the GPL fiasco, so lots D&D fans were still boycotting it.
Are you also getting a bunch of random “confirm your email address” or thank you for signing up" emails?
This sounds like it may be part of a registration bomb attack. I woke up to over 4,000 similar messages a little while back. What they were doing is hiding their actual activity by flooding my inbox. Among the thousands of emails was a notification about the new user added to my PayPal account that had been compromised. That user was trying to empty my bank account.
I caught it before any damage could be done, and the registration bomb ended shortly afterwards.
Most of the new ones have zero sugar. The sugary ones cause people to crash after using them, so the newer ones all have sucralose for sweetener.
Because I don’t want to lose my warranty on a phone with a soft plastic foldable screen.
Yeah, denying warranty for rooting is technically illegal, but knowing that doesn’t do anything for me.
It’s ludicrous that my phone costs more than 2 different cars I’ve owned and I have to go through this kind of bullshit so they can make another 15 cents on average per user.
They tried to nickel and dime me on a $4000/yr product, but I’m just giving them the nickel.
