Back in the day (insert your own Dane Cook joke here), LinkedIn was the go to social place for job searching and connecting with recruiters. What are folks using now?

I enjoy talking about coffee and coffee related topics. I do the thing where I find information and help protect companies from bad things happening.

Fesshole 🧻Found out my department is getting outsourced to India. Management asked me to keep it quiet, but I told all my staff instead. Chaos in the office, company has ground to a halt making essentially no money. Corporate overlords can go gargle my sweaty balls.
I'm 25 seconds into a YouTube video about game called Food Delivery Simulator. I'm leaving disappointed. I was expecting a Spider-Man 2 playthrough.

I have a Brazilian coworker. His grasp of English is amazing. I would have to put in a bunch of work to learn Portuguese. So, high commendation there.
He mentioned getting a new puppy and the work involved in making sure it doesn't hurt itself or whatever.
As part of general cultural exchanges, we share various language and culture idioms. "We'll burn that bridge when we get to it" spawned a long conversation. I say to him that here in the US we have a tradition. That tradition is when someone gets a new puppy, they have to share a picture of it. It's called the Puppy Tax.
He then shares a picture. Today, he learned the meaning of the word "kitten".
Evidence shared below.

Patrick HadfieldLed By Donkeys: tank v Tesla.
You don't really need to watch this to know how it works out but it is remarkably fun to see a 98yo WW2 veteran drive a tank over a Tesla - "we crushed fascism once and we'll do it again!"

I had a need to install Python in a Windows environment which uses a specific proxy and certificate. Instead of doing the entire "ignore certificate errors" thing, I worked with the system. For my example, I'm using Python 3.11 but whatever.
Create/copy a version of your main CA file or custom certificate file as ca-certificate.crt file
Install Python3.11
Post-install configuration
Open new terminal window
Edit the system environment variables
Click Environment Variables at the bottom of the Advanced tab
Edit the User variables section Path variable
Add the two following lines (update as necessary for username and python version)
C:\Program Files\Python3.11
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python311\Scripts
Run from terminal "$env:PIP_CERT=ca-certificate.crt"
Run from terminal "$env:REQUESTS_CA_BUNDLE=ca-certificate.crt"
Run from terminal "python -m pip install pip"
Run from terminal "pip install pip-system-certs"
Verification steps
Open new terminal window
Run from terminal "pip install --upgrade pip"
