@CliffsEsport @Viss Well, for me, python is the easiest to implement and pick up to build things. The main upside and downside of python is the availability of libraries. (able to find libraries for many things). That's an upside, BUT, the downside, is the supply chain for python libraries is ALSO not very well vetted, and there are most certainly bits of malware or Bitcoin mining or other crap you do NOT want on your systems that show up...

As a basic language (without loading libraries, willy nilly), it's probably the best. (Disclaimer: that's the tech stack I am using most now)

Hmm, don't get badly hurt or require emergency surgery in the Conejo Valley this week, folks. 😬 (the local hospital unable to do surgeries of any kind).
I spent my childhood inside of American concentration camps. I know one when I see one. And that is what ICE is building.
Simply horrific. What are we becoming?
Our national shame knows few bounds these days.

“The truth is, he’s not the same boy he was before. Ever since he went in there, he’s suffered psychological trauma; he’s very scared,” Conejo Arias said. “He can’t sleep well at night. He wakes up three or four times a night screaming, ‘Daddy, Daddy.’”

Liam tells his father about nightmares featuring police officers. The boy also “remembers the moment the ICE agents detained us.”

“Requiring every citizen to provide a passport or birth certificate in person to register or update their voter information would impact all of us, but would especially impact working-class Americans, older voters, women who’ve changed their last name, and those who’ve lost essential documents due to natural disasters.”

This message hits hard.
By pulling a 60 Minutes segment, the new editor is torching the network's credibility to protect the Ellison family's interests. https://theintercept.com/2025/12/22/bari-weiss-is-doing-exactly-what-she-was-installed-at-cbs-to-do

Cutting one 60 Minutes segment is a small price to be paid to keep Trump happy and shape the future of American media.

The Intercept

Six congressional Democrats released a video advising members of the U.S. military to “refuse illegal orders.” Trump posted this was sedition punishable by death.

This week, news reports have alleged that the U.S. military carried out a strike to kill two survivors of an initial missile strike on a boat in the Caribbean.

Fun fact: Firing on shipwrecked survivors is *specifically* called out as an illegal order that service members must refuse.
