@molly0xfff this seems like a fun meme template

Hi, Your article https://blog.mollywhite.net/become-a-wikipedian-transcript/ is fantastic AND I noticed it's missing a detailed comparison of [30-50 feral hogs]. We've got a piece of content which helps with a detailed comparison of [30-50 feral hogs].

Are you open to collaboration on links and cross promotion?

Looking forward to your reply.

@foone Do you let yourself use decorators every now and then as a treat at least?

@foone do you have cashapp? I've got $15 a friend sent me and I think it's cheaper and quicker if I can send it that way

@raphael idk maybe my brain is too python poisoned, but python doesn't have a char type, only string, so this does make sense to me. The notation is weird because it's like a multidimensional array, but really you're just getting the first index of "abc" and then repeatedly getting the first index of "a"

@raphael @foone I'm confused, what's unexpected about that?

I've been bedridden for the last 7 months, unable to work, and now my roommate who was covering rent is having tax issues. I need to raise a few thousand dollars to cover rent and bills for this month, so If you could send a couple dollars, it'd really help. Thanks so much.

@foone I have many peripherals that connect to a powered USB hub, to a KVM, to a thunderbolt dock (and my personal PC), and sometimes when I hit the button on the KVM my keyboard ceases to exist. The RGB works, it can even switch profiles, but it can't perform the action of press-button-get-keystroke anymore, and more often than not it requires at least one of the computers on the KVM to be restarted before it will function again. Even unplugging the USB cables (because of course it needs 2 to power the fancy lights) and plugging them back in doesn't fix it.

Sure PS/2 wasn't hot swappable, so it'd have made the problem worse, and I never owned an RGB PS/2 device that did Pretty Things while I worked, but Nostalgia is what I'm saying
