I wrote COBOL years ago.

He's going to Xitter the US of A. 75% loss of value since he became involved.

In most parts of the world people don't sit in their houses with guns fantasizing about murdering people.

Reject this American imperialist capitalist bullshit.

If someone as abjectly fucking useless and ineffective as James Comer worked for most companies he'd have been fired within weeks. That this freckles sack of shit is collecting a government salary and will get a pension for life is a crime against the public.

I write several flavours of BASIC fluently, Fortran and Pascal passably, three forms of assembler well enough to get by, and I've worked in COBOL.

And not a single one of them can name a single thing that Justin Trudeau has done that has negatively effected them personally.

A T-shirt, pyjama pants, and bare feet. I work from home.

Republicans hate sex and consent education for young children. It makes it harder to get away with sexually abusing them.

I'm currently in treatment for Hodgin Lymphoma. An old friend that I rarely see volunteered to take me to chemo every two weeks for six months. We have really good visits while I'm in the chair. Last week I got out my tablet and showed him my farm in Minecraft. I don't like being asked how I'm doing or how I'm feeling because literally everyone asks and I get tired of answering. I prefer, "Do you need anything?" or "Can I help in any way?" I'm not good at asking for help. A friend who I have helped several times just showed up with her partner and four kids and their partners and got our place ready for fall. One of the kids partners was a plumber and he installed a couple of sinks for us. We have a bunch of people around us who have offered to help and meant it. One got up early and drove my son and his bike to school two days after chemo. Another has done groceries for us and taken my wife grocery shopping because she doesn't drive. If you offer to help mean it and do anything you can to help. Otherwise, just be there and do things other than talk about cancer. Normalcy is welcome. If she wants to talk, talk. If she just wants you to be there, be there.

 

I had a craving. I made char siu and my wife whipped up some delicious curried noodles.

 

We make our own green curry paste. The makrut lime leaves, Thai green and red chilis, lemon grass, and chicken are from our back yard.

 

I liked the contrast between the yellow bedspread and the black cat.

 

I went looking for an ice cream focused community in the lemmy.world federated fediverse and couldn't find anything so I created one.

The Ice Cream community is focused on ice cream. Homemade ice cream, recipes, pictures, stories, good commercial ice cream, your favourite ice cream treat or favorite ice cream shop.

I make homemade ice cream and am in the middle of a run. I have made vanilla, (Canadian) Smartie, and milk chocolate almond cluster so far but I have a few more to make before I'm done.

I've posted my favourite ice cream base recipe and a recipe for spicy Aztec Chocolate Ice cream.

If you're a fan of ice cream come check it out.

My boys were having a snuggle nap on the couch. I took a couple of pictures of them because they were cute then the big guy went for a BIG yawn. He's over 10 kg of cat and just over 10 years old. The smaller guy is around 5 kg and 6 years old. The big guy was a ditch kitten that someone tossed in the ditch in front of our house. We caught him and took him in. The next year someone ditched another kitten in front of our house and we took him in. Unfortunately, the second one slipped out the door and disappeared never to be seen again. The big guy was devistated. We decided to get him a companion and adopted the smaller guy from a cat rescue. They are abslutely inseparable.

 

It's been broken for weeks I hear that it works on some clients.
