Photos show anti-ICE crowd chase off pro-ICE demonstrators from Minneapolis streets
It was cold and windy today here... Pelting them with water balloons was awesome. Not a day to be wet in the wind downtown. Btw, no one I know here is pro ICE, universally us Minnesotians want these asshats gone

I see these posts and think "boy, I sure hope none of these anti-ICE people used laser pointers on themasked stazi... Sure would be a shame to use prime day to buy a load of laser pointers and hand them out"

Years ago a friend gently nudged me away from the usual get-together ice breaker of "what do you do for a living" because it's inherently biased to the well paid professional. He suggested I change to the more open "how do you occupy your time" . The answers are far more interesting and I never need to make stay at home spouses, underemployed or unemployed people feel uncomfortable.. this post reminded me of that (we are not our corporately bestowed titles)

Isn't this the part in idiocracy where brawndo just buys the ftc/fda?

Is there a place where you can request code reviews on opensource software?
I would totally get in on that. Seems almost like a fun OS project itself. Like a volunteer hub type site to just seek reviews

Reddit usage metrics fall thanks to CEO's plan to boost revenue
It has weight when real shops up and move out. I knew the Twitter diaspora was real when big news agencies like NPR and PBS jumped. I canceled my twitter and I had it since the start. I had gone with reddit a long... since digg... I feel like it's quitting cigarettes... I'm breaking thru the fog only now. I will be interested on Jun 30 when all the 3rd party apps stop. But I haven't deleted RIF yet... hard to drop what I paid for.

Thoughts on putting down elderly pets?
I have a small dog that isn't yet 5yo but has lots of seizures. We keep upping meds but we are hitting points where we can't add any more. The drugs make her hungry all the time and more recently she has started to stumble and walk into things. I could take all drugs away and shed surely sieze to death but that seems cruel. At this point my wife and I agree no crazy surgeries and if we get multiple instances of incontenance in a week, new decisions will trigger

My Keychron Q8 Pro in its final form
How's the feel, ergo-wise. I've been locked in to a Microsoft natural elite 2 since the early 2000s and this is the first mechanical ergo I've seen

Star Tribune identifies ICE agent who fatally shot woman in Minneapolis
Indeed. With a middle initial E, it's not hard to find his home address. Though who still uses an EarthLink email account. Maybe I'm being judgy...

Clojure : if lisp had an illegitimate baby with java. Add to it the pain of setting up fireplace in vim or having to use emacs. At a former employer we had one area in closure. I could read it without much difficulty but damn if it didn't take me weeks to write or update it

After 2nd ICE murder in Minneapolis, community demands ‘Killer ICE off our streets!’
I was at a MN Frost game at Xcel (Grand Casino) center tonight. They put his picture up with his birth death years and asked for a moment of silence but the whole stadium erupted in ICE OUT NOW chants .. Cameramen had to constantly move shots due to ICE OUT signs and people using middle finger mouthing f... Ice. This is hockey.. not a "liberal" sport... The whole of MN wants them out... I support Waltz bringing in national guard to protect US... Don't believe FauxNews... The Guard is there to protect Minnesotians...

What's something you no longer buy due to intrusive, insidious technology being added into it?
I got an Epson printer to replace the HP that stopped doing email/app service because HP seemed it too old. The Epson just takes ink from a bottle which is really cheap to refil. The Epson has a tiny screen (which makes sense when you realize Epson is just a sub brand of Seiko). I fully expect the app to stop working some day.
