You should definitely ask a bunch of random people on lemmy what to do instead of what the doctors say…

I feel like you’d probably enjoy wandering through the halfbakery…

No. I checked it out twice, looked around, and noped out. Haven’t been back since.

Don’t you have anything better to do than fill out this survey?

Phone: Nokia 5160 I think it was.

Computer: ZX-81

NurdRage for chemistry goodness.

OSMAnd on fdroid can record all sorts of trip data and can spit it out as gpx files, which are just XML and probably pretty parsable in something like Python. That might get you at least some of what you want.

For-profit prisons and hospitals.

Digital. I can adjust fonts/sizes, search for content, skip around, and whether I have 10 or 10,000 books, I can carry them around in my pocket.

Yes. I’d like to donate my body to science too, but I want to see if there’s a way to do it non-profit. I’m not interested in helping make someone rich.

Various games mostly. For instance the Oxygen Not Included community is pretty dead, and I don’t know of a community for Ark.

Mid-2022. I’d heard about it and finally decided to give it a try, though I didn’t post a lot. These days I mostly only go to reddit when searches for information lead me to a post there, and occasionally for stuff that doesn’t exist/is dead here (emacs, hydrohomies…)

“JFC so many searches related to elisp and linux…”

Ground New, News Minimalist, RSS

Oh, and I almost forgot, Roger Zelazny’s Lord of Light.

The Discworld series, the Culture series by Iain Banks, Tolkien, Illuminatus!, GEB: The Eternal Golden Braid, The Book of Swords…

Because I’ve never seen a python class before that was ‘no experience required’ where they go “Well, normally we’d teach you about variables, and loops, functions and operator precedence…but you know what? Screw all that. Head first! YOLO! Write me some code.”

If that is how that class is, I’d drop it and go hit youtube or something. How to Learn Python stuff is pretty available if you want to learn (and python is pretty useful).

So how did you end up with an assignment like this while apparently knowing little if any python? This feels like someone signed up for a class, blew it off, and now suddenly has tests and stuff to turn in.

FWIW I have a friend that made pretty decent money doing IT work up on the Alaskan oil fields. Paid well, but it was months of living in the middle of nowhere. Might not be as bad these days. I could see them having satellite internet and stuff. Also, this assumes you have IT skills and can deal with being nowhere for months.

Who the fuck knows? I don’t really give a shit, personally…

(Did you see them?)
