I was carrying not one but two programmable Casio GFX 9850 graphics calculators with me pretty much all the time. You could write some kind of Basic-ish code on these things. Neat machines, considering their age.

I was just a kid so it put me off science for a bit tbh.

And isn't that a fucking shame? I mean, science can be such an interesting thing that can improve and enrich your life and can even become a career, but or just takes one bad teacher to let all that go to waste.

I had a guy teach biology and chemistry, and he was... well just not a good teacher (but a very decent human outside of class, to be fair). Made me really hate his classes and subjects. It took quite a long time for me to get more interested again.

On the other hand, I had a teacher in computer science teach is the basics of relational databases and object oriented programming in Borland Delphi (yes!), and now that I'm almost 40, I STILL feed on that knowledge, have become a sysadmin, have helped a dozen of co-eds in uni pass their programming test by tutoring them... He's just a huge part of what I've become as a person. One teacher really can make a difference, one direction or the other. Thank you Mr. Barchmann, wherever you are.

We'd all end up drugged with needles up our arms laying in front of the unemployment centers of we don't get better at chemistry. Like, all of us.

Joke's on him, I'm in IT now, so I'm of WAY worse.

May nobody ever be stealing your bucket, my friend.

I miss "they be stealing my bucket", but that might well be just me.

I'd go with something that has a little more class than most of the suggestions here. Something with a certain ring to it. Like... Biggus Dickus

Yeah. Great-great-great-grandchicken, so clearly friend shaped.

The good Lord would want it that waaaay! 🎶

EUian here. I tend to say no, with a big "but" (insert Sir Mix-a-Lot joke here): I would expect legislation to govern effective content moderation by the platforms. No cutting corners to save money.

As a German, I was tempted to read up for a few minutes on that matter, because I knew that several groups were murdered in concentration camps, and I was confused by the discussion that ensued here.

Turns out: "Holocaust" is the name of the industrialized murder committed by the Reich to eradicate Jews specifically, so yes, specific group. I concede that that's not how the word is often used in common language though. However, and that I didn't know, there's also a name for the murder of Sinti and Roma, and that's Porajmos (translates to something like "the devouring", https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porajmos).

Apart from that, the camps were used for a number of other groups that the Nazis wanted removed. For a depressing read, click https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Identification_of_inmates_in_Nazi_concentration_camps Categories for targeted people used by the Nazis included political inmates, criminals, asocials, Homosexuals, Jehovas Witnesses, Emigrants, Jews, 7th day Adventists, citizens of several nationalities, exponents of the Bible, Soviet prisoners of war, people with disabilities and more.

Seeing the US and several European countries slip into (proto-)fascism, with the AfD gaining significant ground on all levels of government and among the general population deeply worries me, as does the fact that political parties almost across the spectrum adopt racist ideologies...

Didn't want to make you fell like you have defend yourself, just wanted to turn it around and shitpost. But yeah, she rarely does.

I was also lowkey referencing the famous photo caption from am interview with "Amal Clooney, famous and successful lawyer and human rights activist, and her husband, an actor". Referring to a certain George.

You mean Mileva Marić and her husband?

Of yes, I have! alias nfsmounts='mount | grep "nfs" | column'

His followers believe some kind of twisted conspiracy theory about him being replaced by reptiloids and want to overthrow the woke communist impersonator, war ensures.

Depends on your definition of "we"...

At my job, we run goharbor.io and use its Replications feature to do just that.
