It's not even to impress anyone, we need to keep roofs over our heads and food in our family's bellies

There's a great podcast (That's now in it's second season) that discusses US intervention in Latin America called "Under The Shadow", by Michael Fox.

I'm working on it! I have a little NUC that I'm learning Linux (Is that the proper term?) on. I plan to self host a few services for myself and host family photos on it someday.

I'm going through a "Deep, Vast, Trough of Learning" at the moment :>

Late to the discussion here, but the path to make things right (to me) is to reverse the changes. Why doesn't Mozilla do that?

I get the optimization thing. I also replay situations in my head and how it could have gone better. I even save notes/reminders/mindmaps for the next time I talk to someone or I'm in a particular social situation. That's just how my mind works, and I can't remember everything.

I also second your approach. I have a todo.txt file of various restaurants, experiences, places my gf wants to visit. Next time I want to plan a date, I look up the list ("Hey babe, let's go that that [RESTAURANT MENTIONED 3 MONTHS AGO] tonight. It's proven to be a very good system. <3

This kind of sounds like "Chinese Handball" which is a variant I've played way back. Not sure why it was called that though.

Ah so pickleball is spreading like crazy in CO too? I have a todo to play it just so I can see what the fuss is about.

I've only ever seen Handball/Wallball in NYC. This is honestly the first time I've ever heard of four square.

Ah I see! The comics kinda have a "generated" vibe if that makes sense, since all the panels, characters, text is precisely in the same place.

I assume you just create a script with the dialogue and your program does the rest? That's neat!

Handball (Also called Wallball) is popular in New York City, along with a few other places in the US.

You can also view tournaments that have been held here: https://www.youtube.com/@TensFinest/videos

It's one my my favorite hobbies; I've been playing since I was a teen (not that I'm any good at it lol). Outside of Florida and California I don't think many have heard of it. Though I believe there are a few places in Europe that play (Belgium I think?) but don't quote me.

Happy to elaborate further if anyone is curious!

3 Days late but this is a funny comic! (I'm more WandaWant than say, alGorithm so some of the coding references go over my head but the jokes are funny all the same!)
