I don't think we should send kids out to break rocks just so they experience hard work, what I mean is kids should be challenged enough that they have to do research and learn to study so they can come up with strategies that are useful in life.

I do agree, working hard for hard works sake isn't super important, but being able to work hard when you need to is.

And as an example, I found pretty much all school easy until university, when I got a harsh reality check that doing the coarse work the morning it was due was a bad strategy in life. Avoiding that type of outcome would be preferable.

That is exactly what I was thinking of!

Complete with "Skyscraper" written across the bottom and a similar style skyscraper.

Did they make a pinball machine based on this movie?

I know that's a super random question but I feel like I've seen this in pinball form

It feels like an incredibly large amount of work, and we don’t really see gay people and lesbians making an issue out of change rooms.

Sports is the only ring where it kinda makes sense to have separate leagues, but how much of an issue is this actually?

There’s no way it’s worth the rhetoric and actions people have been taking.

The fact that you were correct wasn’t the issue, you’d be apologizing for fighting and how the situation was handled.

It’s amazing how in 6 months all the American media has gone full blown pro whatever Trump says.

I’ve always hated this art style, but I can’t explain why.

I would vote no for this as a user

I hate how many discord notifications and emails I get about this, I don’t want to see it on other platforms. It’s potentially way too spammy of a feature.

Your daily reminder that trans rights are human rights. Gay rights are human rights. Any government trying to roll these back is only rolling back rights for all of us to be who we are.

Supporting trans people is not taking away from women, these things aren’t zero sum.

There was a wind storm two years ago that broke a huge chunk of my tree and left it hanging on. You could probably hang off it and it would not come loose, we tried getting it with ropes but it was wedged in tight between some branches.

Since it was broken pretty high up, surrounded by burdock, and at the back of the lot I just left it.

Today I was helping my wife in the yard clearing the weeds and this time one of the branches pinning it snapped, so I was able to use another branch as a fulcrum and finally took it down.

I’ll cut it up and burn it later — if there’s any good wood I might try carving some.

I've been looking for a couple weeks for good public cloud options I can use that are not US based.

I tried OVH but my account was flagged as suspicious upon signing up so I can't use any of their public cloud services.

I just signed up for Hetzner, but I'd prefer Canadian based servers.

So today I discovered that there's a cron job that holds non-reproducible state that died, and now our system is fucked.

The cron job doesn't live inside any source control. This morning it entered a terminal state, and because it overwrites its state there's no way to revert it.

I'm currently waiting for the database rollback and have rewritten it in a reproducible/idempotent way.

Heard this song on CBC radio today and immediately loved it. It’s lights a fire in my heart, so I thought I’d share it with all of you

I made this sketch for my wife, but it got pressed into another charcoal drawing while I was moving stuff around.

Is eraser the best way to fix this?

Original title: The Mark Carney era begins with prime minister and new cabinet sworn in today

I don't know if it violates rules that I modified the title from the article, I've seen a lot of questions about when Carney becomes PM and my goal with this post is to increase awareness there.

I'll be watching or listening on CBC today while working.
