In terms of what he got done, he’s easily the most left wing President since LBJ. Perhaps FDR. Whether or not that is defined as left-wing/leftist/liberal is a matter of opinion.

Linux copyrights are owned by many different people, so it would be prohibitively difficult to ask every person to agree to a GPLv3 change. Even if you could, Linus Torvalds is not a fan of the v3 license.

I do not. Not as long as Jimmy Wales is involved with it. I strongly disagree with his objectivist philosophy.

There are certainty worse places to send your money, though.

That guy!

I say “Jesus, Mary, and Joseph” as an exclamation to this day.

I haven’t done it myself, but I plan to watch a bunch of pre-Hays Code movies from the late 20s and early 30s. Many of these movies are in the public domain and more are entering it for the next few years.

They’ve already said that Section 3 of the 14th Amendment doesn’t exist.

Yes. Me included.

You got to touch a girl’s boobies.

Legally he’s only got 2 terms. However as my government teacher explained, the constitution says what the Supreme Court says it says. So who knows what they’ll say about it.

Jesus Christ, dude.

You can do “2009” as “twenty oh 9”, but that feels kinda awkward. “Two thousand nine” has the same number of syllables (4). “Twenty ten” is 3. “Two thousand ten” is 4.

Even “1900” is “nineteen hundred” (4) vs “one thousand nine hundred” (6).

ETA: I’m the class of “Oh two” rather than “zero two” because the former is one less syllable.

Plenty of people still use landlines. That tech is much older than faxes. Internal combustion engines have been around for about as long. There have been improvements, of course, but the basic idea of spark plugs igniting fuel, which pushes down a piston is quite old.

Like many things the 1960s tech is “good enough” and the government hasn’t mandated a specific standard.

I work in a particularly niche area (home infusion/home medical equipment) and while HL7 and FHIR are indeed things, practically no software that was built for those lines of business had any sort of module for that. We have a FHIR interface now and…no one uses it. They prefer faxes.

For me it was

2000: Two thousand

2001: Two thousand one (or less formally “oh one”)

2009: Two thousand nine (“oh nine”)

2010: Twenty ten

And from there on. I think this is because of the amount of syllables. That’s why we switch to “twenty” instead of “two thousand”.

I work with healthcare software so I can echo most of what you’re saying.

The thing is the lowest common denominator is a fax (usually a fax server that creates a PDF or TIFF of what comes over the wire), so that’s what people go with. It’s the interoperability between different systems that’s the problem. There’s no one standard…except for faxes.

We’ll see if I go back to the mental hospital but I don’t foresee it happening unless work gets really bad again.

I’ve already internalized that this country is populated by shitty, hateful people. Trump winning again just confirms what I already knew.

PBS here has ads. They are short, but there are ads nonetheless. This is over and above the ads for their own shows that will be on the channel at a later date.

Was gonna say everyone with impostor syndrome thinks their life is this.

My sister put liquid dish soap in the dishwasher.
