I AM NOT SUICIDAL AND NEVER WILL BE I DO NOT DO ANY DRUGS AND I CANNOT EVEN GO TO THE BEACH 😔

@claudiuivan @nicbarkeragain UML is for understanding program structure. You can only use it once students already know how to program. You cannot teach basic programming with UML.

@nicbarkeragain Yes! The airforce teaches with Raptor (flowchart programming) to try and address this. It had some nasty edges. So I made my own in the browser (in 2014 github.com/mzijlstra/flow…) Saw about a 10% increase in understanding. Still not the success I had hoped for, but def better

@brikolorenz @candaceoshow @PaulyRubino Yes, it is tough. Take your time. Review all the evidence. You will get through it, and after that you will be ready to see and take on even greater realities.

Read section III.E.4 and tell me I’m crazy.

@thedreydossier Yes, and this is how it's done. There are no left and right wing as people believe them to exist. There is just one incredibly corrupt bird that despises the people it is supposed to govern and protect.

@DBrozeLiveFree Yes -- especially if you preface it with this so everyone knows what they're starting. People generally don't care that much about visual fidelity, but will complain if something is off an unacknowledged.

@japan_nobunaga This is exactly the trajectory it seems like we're on.

@nicbarkeragain Thanks Nic -- this (series) is probably one of the most important videos you'll make. (There is so much misunderstanding.) Great to see you tackling it. As always your explanations were excellent 👍

@TomMontalk @drallibrown Thank you for your insight Tom. As a lifelong meditator, I know this issue well -- you are right. I have received a lot of neg pushback in the last couple of years. But also tremendous divine grace (I didn't know it was there?). My gratitude to you and the Lord in Heaven 🙏

@neocrius @exQUIZitely Been a fan of Elecom for a while, didn't know they made a trackball like this. I should give it a try!

@Sanssensor @exQUIZitely Had this one too, not bad. Ended up switching back to a more traditional trackball after a while. specifically because I missed the mouse wheel. I know, you can make one of the buttons turn the ball into a wheel.

@exQUIZitely Still using one today, clicked this very textbox with it. Had real mouse arm problems -- don't like having pain in my arm. Never had thumb issues.

According to an informed federal official, in the coming months the Trump administration plans to send a total of 40,000 Mark 84 and Blu-117 bombs to the government of Israel. Each bomb weighs 2,000 pounds. This appears to be the largest transfer of conventional explosive ordnance from the United States in modern history. How big is this shipment? It amounts to 40,000 tons of bombs. For perspective, the largest American air raid of World War Two was the Eighth Air Force’s attack on Berlin in March of 1945. Combined, the 2,023 Allied aircraft involved dropped about 3,000 tons of bombs. That’s 7.5 percent of what Trump is sending to Israel. That same month, March of 1945, the US Army Air Forces began the single most destructive bombing raid in human history, Operation Meetinghouse over Tokyo. More than 100,000 Japanese civilians were killed. By the end of that operation, the US had dropped 1,600 tons of bombs. That’s four percent of what Trump is sending to Israel. World War Two ended five months later, when the US dropped an atomic bomb on the city of Hiroshima. The shipment Trump is sending to Israel amounts to more than three times the destructive power of that nuclear explosion. There is no precedent for what the Trump administration is doing. Nor is there a justification. The government of Israel is not fighting World War Two, or even a war. It is engaged in periodic skirmishes with a guerrilla force in Lebanon, and it is working to exterminate an unarmed civilian population in Gaza. Neither front requires modern 2,000-pound bombs. An American-made Mark 84 has a destruction radius of half a mile. It releases a thermal wave the temperature of the surface of the sun. Within 100 feet of the explosion, rock melts and human flesh turns to vapor. The bomb collapses apartment buildings and leaves craters thirty-five feet deep. Until the war with Iran, the US military generally avoided using the Mark 84 in urban areas. It kills too many civilians. For the Netanyahu government, that’s been the upside. In the weeks after October 7, the IDF dropped nearly six hundred 2,000-pound bombs on densely populated areas in Gaza, including on more than 100 officially designated civilian evacuation zones. The slaughter was so grotesque and embarrassing that for a moment the Biden administration paused a shipment of Mark 84s. Those shipments quickly resumed under Trump. Now they’ve accelerated. It’s hard to overstate the scale of the crime the Israeli government is committing in Gaza. Over the last three years, more than a quarter-million Palestinians have been killed or wounded by Israeli forces there. The majority of them have been noncombatants: women, the elderly and tens of thousands of children. Many thousands more remain missing, presumably entombed under the rubble of 200,000 collapsed buildings. So far the Israelis have destroyed 92 percent of all homes in Gaza, and 34 of the 36 hospitals. By comparison, the 1945 Allied bombings of Dresden, now acknowledged as a war crime, destroyed about half of the city’s inhabited buildings. By any definition, what the Netanyahu government has done in Gaza is genocide. The 40,000 new bombs the Trump administration is sending will be used to do the same in Lebanon, and likely in other countries in the region. If you wanted to extend the Iran war into the indefinite future, this is exactly what you’d do. So far none of this has received public scrutiny. At some point, inevitably, it will be described in media accounts as an “arms sale.” It is not an arms sale. It is a gift, funded by American taxpayers through the Foreign Military Financing program, an arrangement designed to disguise welfare as capitalism: Congress appropriates money to the executive branch, which transfers the cash to Israel to “buy” American-made weapons, in this case from General Dynamics. Politicians claim this is a win for America. Most voters have no idea they paid for it. The bill in this case is about $3 billion. Add that to the $352 billion the US Treasury has transferred to Israel since 1951. How did this happen? The request for 40,000 new high-explosive civilian-killing bombs originated at the US Embassy in Jerusalem, which is run by Christian Zionist Ambassador Mike Huckabee and his aide David Milstein, who is the stepson of Fox News host Mark Levin. From there it moved to the State Department, where Marco Rubio enthusiastically approved it. At this point, only four more people need to sign off before the bombs ship to Israel: Senators Jim Risch and Jeanne Shaheen, the chairman and ranking member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee; and Congressmen Brian Mast and Gregory Meeks, the top two members of the equivalent House committee. All four are committed neocons. Collectively they’ve taken millions from the Israel lobby. In 2015, Brian Mast traveled to Israel to volunteer for the Israeli military. In 2023, Mast showed up in the House of Representatives wearing an IDF uniform. It’s hard to imagine any of them hesitating before sending more free bombs to Israel. Only public outrage can stop this.

@Ryanmatta Yes, give us a part 5. A lot has been suppressed. It will be a bit of a chaos finding out what's real and what's not, but more than anything else it will be a celebration.

@exQUIZitely Love that it says Hero's Quest -- the original name. They had to change it to Quest for Glory for copy right reasons (was it the board game that already owned that name? great board game btw).

@exQUIZitely I know that map well -- but I never drew it out by hand. Just walked around that I knew it by heart. Can still confirm the accuracy of this map after all these years.

@MuseumCommodore A500 will always be _the_ Amiga in my eyes

@dhh Tony is an absolute legend -- best advertising shorts. If I need a sign I know where to go!

@Ryanmatta @dezzie_rezzie @MazeLove14 @5149jamesli @xIsraelExposedx @KimIversenShow @ElofsonJess @mtgreenee @jimmy_dore @joeroganhq There is a lot of hidden knowledge. The truth will prevail.
