So, I don't want to depress people this early in the week, but I do want to bring something of attention to you.

Youtube is a terrible place to keep audiovisual heritage, ON ITS FACE, and we as a species decided that nah, let's do it anyway fam
As part of the whole being fined a lot of money for showing children absolutely terrible videos with its magic algorithms, Youtube has implemented a rule which has made it so videos are being split into "for children" and "not necessarily only for children" and "not for children"
I'm not arguing against that move, or why it was done. It's a natural thing that happens, just like we banned smoking ads and hard alcohol advertisements (for 45 years) on american TV. Choices are made when you're an outlet.

Here is an imaged, playable version of "The Breckenridge Caper of 1798". It's by Stephen Cabrinety of Superior Software. At the time this software comes out, it's sold for $28.95 ($74 in 2020 dollars). Stephen Cabrinety is 17 years old.
Here's the ad for this game and the other games being sold. (December 1983 issue of SOFTALK Magazine). For the record, the general consensus is none of these games are particularly great or classic works.
A fervent collector of software, Stephen Cabrinety collects many, many different titles and works of software. His goal is to open a museum of software. The name is of his non-profit is Computer History Institute for the Preservation of Software (C.H.I.P.S.), founded in 1989.

A quick meditation on growing up.

I got a speeding ticket; there's a couple traps along Taconic Parkway in NY and occasionally you get nabbed; some of the traps are run by towns that barely overlap the parkway, and you get written up and a plea guilty/not-guilty.
Here's something I feel a lot of people know and some don't. In general, it's good to plea not guilty. You then go to what is clearly listed as a'pre-trial" meeting and the town DA will then broker a deal with you for a non-speeding fine. No license points for you, $ for them.
9am and there's about 30 of us there, all walks. I dressed like I do so I had some nice conversations with tired people, and they loaded us into the court through a metal detector and then called groups of us to go talk to the DA in his office.

pour en avoir le cœur net, j'ai réalisé moi-même mon "cas type" sur la #RéformeDesRetraites par points en prenant mon cas personnel
j'invite tout le monde à en faire de même

1/ j'ai fait ma simulation de retaite sur le site de l'AGIRC-ARRCO (je travaille dans le privé) qui m'estime ma retraite à 1490 € brut à l'âge de 61.5 ans (j'avais acquis 5 trimestres avant mes 20 ans, je pourrais donc partir avant 62 ans)

2/ j'ai téléchargé sur le site de l'assurance maladie mon relevé de carrière qui récapitule tous mes salaires bruts années après années depuis que j'ai commencé à travaillé

Aujourd’hui je m’attaque à mon 4ème fil : la présentation du scénario #Négatep.
Le plus grand défi de notre siècle sera sans doute la lutte contre le réchauffement climatique. Celle-ci passe par la réduction des émissions de gaz à effet de serre dont majoritairement le CO2.
Les 2/3 des émissions mondiales de gaz à effet de serre proviennent de la consommation d’énergies fossiles.

Noticias del frente legal, con la suspensión del Plan Hidrológico del Tajo a causa de la ausencia de caudales ecológicos. Abrimos hilo 👇

En la cuenca del #ríoSegura siempre hemos tenido una marcada diferencia entre la productividad del #secano y del #regadío, cosa que se refleja en su precio. De allí que surgiera una obsesión por el acceso al agua y la 'recalificación hidráulica' (pelotazo)

Durante el medievo, a falta de materiales y conocimientos de ingeniería como para construir grandes embalses de regulación, se desarrolló una importante red de azudes y canales (huertas tradicionales) que prácticamente agotó las posibilidades de riego con aguas no reguladas.

Stefan #Räpple MdL der AfD hat heute für einen Eklat im Landtag gesorgt. Für alle, die ihn noch nicht kennen, ein Thread über seine gruseligen politischen Positionen. 1/x
In der Debatte über Höckes skandalöse Dresdner Rede ("Mahnmal der Schande") positionierte sich R eindeutig. Nämlich noch weiter rechts als sein Idol. Er forderte auf seiner Webseite den Abriss des Berliner Mahnmals, ... 2/x
formulierte einen abstrusen Vergleich zwischen der NS-Zeit und der Europäischen Union (beide laut R sozialistisch) und verurteile die Erinnerungskultur als "pseudoreligiös anmutende Schuldkult" 3/x

Tutorial on how to make a map using QGIS. I'll turn @SenhorRaposa's 2000 Vermont town data into a map showing by how much Gore outran Senator Jeffords (or vice versa) in every town.
Step 1: Download QGIS for your computer, which is available here:
qgis.org/en/site/foruse…
You'll also need some of Census' Tiger/Line County and County Sub shapefiles. The main download page for those is here:
census.gov/cgi-bin/geo/sh…

A direct link to the 2017 VT county sub shapefile is here: ftp://ftp2.census.gov/geo/tiger/TIGER2017/COUSUB/tl_2017_50_cousub.zip
I can't find a 2017 County file by state, so we'll use the 2009 verison here:
ftp://ftp2.census.gov/geo/tiger/TIGER2009/50_VERMONT/tl_2009_50_county.zip
(We could always edit the 17 national county file in QGIS & create a 2017 VT-only county shapefile, but let's keep it simple.)

Allez, petit thread inspiré par ça, tellement c'est plein de banalités, encore trop répandues. #Réalisme
Commençons par "Le réalisme est un courant de pensée politique qui affirme que les considérations idéologiques ou morales ne doivent pas...
intervenir dans l'action diplomatique." C'est historiquement faux. Raymond Aron a un long développement sur l'importance de la morale.
