This course seems to get good reviews, but my mind was made up before I even read any of them 
I've been going back and forth on running through another basic python course (because I never commit to it for more than a few weeks or so every time and then just forget everything) and I just noticed the footer on the Automate The Boring Stuff site:

Uh yeah, it’s time to think beyond cars and car-centric infrastructure, you stupid fucks.

ACAB includes billionaires (because the enforcement arm of the state always/only protects capital)...

Which unfortunately means the fictional wealthy suitor in the dialogue breakdown of Britney Spears' 2000 breakout hit, "Oops!... I Did It Again" (who apparently took some kind of OceanGate-pleasure-cruise down to the wreck of the Titanic to retrieve the famous Sapphire necklace) is, in fact, a bastard.

And if I could travel 26 years into the past, I'd tell Britney, "Girl, you can do better."

Get in loser, we're applying Aquaphor to the inside of our noses every 30 minutes until the worst season on this continent is finally over with again.

Hey NYCMTA, are you doing okay?

This was, tbh, a major relief, because instead of ~20 screens full of annoying ads, every screen in this car was black, except for this one, from Jay Street-Metrotech all the way up to 181st Street.

Love all these inexpensive IPKVM products that are out now, I really wish we'd get the same kind of product variety on the KVM Switches. Thinking along the lines of almost literally any ATEN Desktop KVM Switch with an IPKVM built in.

Sure, the PiKVM Switch exists, but it's almost $300 and you -still- need to buy a separate PiKVM device to control it.

Thinking something like the GLiNet Comet, but with 2-3 inputs.

Nothing makes one feel quite as much "Oh I'm the adult in the room now" as being approached for advice about some some dire problem and having a lawyer that you can personally recommend for that specific situation.

Every once in a while I look over my shoulder and see a trio of Force-ghosts, except instead of Anakin, Yoda and Obi-Wan, it's LeVar Burton, Fred Rogers, and Bill Nye.

Yes, I am aware that two of the three are still alive.

I'm going to refer to the bin in my home office closet where I keep the defunct/parts-only computer stuff as the Datacombs from here on out.
