I agree. HW may be a template for Pete and Ron to follow but, they possess considerably less wealth and networking power to propel them to a position atop any hierarchy within their lifetimes. As you said, we are talking about WASP nobility who have been here centuries vs the descendants of Southern European immigrants who have only been here a century or so. One family has had more time to establish and embed themselves atop the class structure than the other.

This had me chuckling more than I would have thought. It’s a obvious reference, and the choice of meme template is a nice twist where s/he is specifically not ignoring the auroraborealis occurring. It’s that time again for TTC until the lights fade away.

I would not use latex for any document that should be a template for other people to fill in. Unless you’re a peer reviewed journal. I wouldn’t use latex for anything that requires precise positioning of images and elements. InDesign and similar are a much better option. I do like to use markdown for any document that does not fall into those categories. I like to use latex for any document I’m writing which I want someone else to style. Latex is very cool for styling, but in my experience most of the time you do not really need that amount of configurability and the added time to correctly make a styled document in latex is way more than what it would take you in word, even when you have to fight word to make it. That is unless you need equations, but then again: just write markdown with latex equations.

Depends on your definition of “significant positive legacy”. If you’re drawn to the fame and notoriety of public figures as a template for this legacy, then I’d say these types of people already put their lives out in public for you to follow as a template. You will likely be seen as a narcissist in some circles. On the other hand, many games and thinkers instill the rationale that you are the sum of your choices. Your karma - or action logic perhaps - will ripple around you with consequences - intended or not. These choices raise a new legacy of being an example. A lot of people want to just live their lives in their own peace, make a living, do what they can to support their people. Such folks receive no fame, and no notoriety. They do everything necessary. There’s no thanks expected. But they make human life worth it. I’d rather be a part of this example. Together Everyone Accomplishes More In many ways, we all entered the same game with the same example of team. We all wake up, work, transit. Everything has to come together in order for us to get back home safely. It has inherent value, and is a “legacy”. What I think of as “legacy” is also your heritage and your birthright. You inherited someone’s legacy to be possible and to be here. There are forces that threaten this example. People who want to do violence to it, destroy it, pillage it, profit from it, you have to choose to protect it. They don’t want you to see your own worth. They don’t want you to see the value in others. They want you to stay small, and deny your heritage. How you protect this example, and the vulnerable, is up to you. EDIT: I’m just using the terms you and they in a generic sense. I don’t literally mean you to single any specific person out. Similarly, I’m not literally talking about “they” like some kind of secret cabal reference. They is an ever changing reference to any kind of opposing force - be it person or system or effect.

Site has an ad-block wall. Article text is below: ~Portland~ Emergency motion goes before judge tonight to stop CA National Guard to Portland Updated: Oct. 05, 2025, 7:49 p.m.|Published: Oct. 05, 2025, 6:38 p.m. By Maxine Bernstein | The Oregonian/OregonLive The state of Oregon and City of Portland added California on Sunday to an amended lawsuit filed against the Trump administration and sought a new emergency order to block California National Guard troops from mobilizing in Portland. U.S. District Judge Karin J. Immergut agreed to hold a hearing by phone at 7 p.m. Sunday on the new motion for a new restraining order, the latest development in a weekend of last-minute legal maneuvers. (Some technical difficulties delayed the hearing until 7:49 p.m. ) Attorneys for the two states and city argue that President Donald Trump is still restricted by federal law that says any federalization of National Guard members must be “necessary.” They’ve asked the judge to block the deployment of the California National Guard members, or in the alternative, prohibit the Trump administration from sending any National Guard members from any other state under his command to Oregon. (By Sunday night, Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek said she was told Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered 400 Texas National Guard members to Oregon and Illinois, though she said she received no direction explanation from Trump or Hegseth.) In a sweeping 31-page ruling issued Saturday, Immergut decided that there was no “threat of rebellion” or any credible legal justification for the deployment of National Guard members to Portland. Title 10, Section 12406 allows the President to “call into Federal service members and units of the National Guard of any State in such numbers as he considers necessary,” to either repel an invasion, suppress a rebellion or ensure federal laws can be executed. “What was unlawful yesterday is unlawful today,” Attorney General Dan Rayfield said at a joint news conference Sunday with Kotek and Portland Mayor Keith Wilson. “What was unlawful with the Oregon National Guard is unlawful with the California National Guard. The judge’s order was not some minor procedural point for the President to work around, like my 14 -year-old does when he doesn’t like my answers.” Lawyers for the two states and Portland argue that Trump is now “circumventing,” Immergut’s order and the deployment of California-based Guard members to Oregon is illegal. “Even accepting arguendo that the California National Guard were properly federalized in Los Angeles in June, that does not give Defendants carte blanche to use those soldiers anywhere, for any purpose, and for any amount of time,” lawyers for Oregon, California and Portland wrote in their motion for a new restraining order. “They cannot continue to hold the federalized National Guard members hostage by altering their mission and sending them to another State,” they argued. The federal government’s initial order federalizing California National Guard members in June “clearly did not contemplate the use of the California troops for completely unrelated activity in Oregon,” they wrote. The public interest considerations have intensified since Saturday, as California now also is harmed by having its National Guard members over 800 miles away from Los Angeles, where they were initially deployed, the emergency motion says. The potential harm is also great to Oregon and Portland, officials said Sunday. Without a new court-granted restraining order, Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek said the state will have no authority to block California National Guard troops from showing up at the ICE facility in Portland, which Trump administration lawyers have argued is “under siege.” She spoke at the joint virtual news conference Sunday. “Plaintiffs seek to protect their sovereignty, retain control over local law enforcement and public safety, and prevent unnecessary disruption to Oregon’s largest city,” wrote the lawyers for Oregon, California and Portland. They also contend the federal government breached the 10th Amendment by asserting authority over a state militia that the U.S. Constitution expressly assigns to the states. The 10th Amendment says that powers not delegated to federal officials are reserved “to the States.” Trump initially sent up to 4,000 California National Guard troops and 700 Marines to Los Angeles to support federal officers. But in early September, U.S. District Judge Charles R. Breyer of San Francisco issued an injunction, finding the federalization of California National Guard and deployment of military troops violated federal law. By then, the number of Guard members remaining in Los Angeles had dwindled to about 400. Breyer barred the troops from engaging in any police actions, including arrests, searches, or traffic, crowd, security or riot control. But the California judge’s federal injunction is on hold while the case is pending appeal before the 9th U.S Circuit Court of Appeals. On Saturday night, after Immergut issued her temporary restraining order blocking Trump’s attempted use of Oregon National Guard troops to support federal officers at Portland’s ICE facility, the U.S. Army Northern Command informed the California Military Department’s leaders that the federal government was sending 200 California National Guard members from Los Angeles to Portland, according to court filings by the two states and Portland. Sometime after midnight early Sunday, 101 California National Guard members landed in Oregon at the Portland Air National Guard base, and another 99 were set to arrive between 4 p.m. and 5 p.m., officials said. The California Military Department also was told Sunday that the Trump administration was extending the federalization of the remaining 300 California National Guard members currently deployed through Jan. 31, 2026, the filings said. The California National Guard members sent to Oregon have already received “the training and other preparations that would ordinarily be needed,” according to Oregon Brigadier General Alan R. Gronewold, in a sworn declaration to the court. “I am therefore unaware of any impediment to these members of the California National Guard being deployed in Oregon for those purposes as early as today,” he wrote in his Sunday declaration. REQUEST TO APPELLATE COURT Separately, the Trump administration on Sunday filed an emergency motion with the federal appellate court to put a hold on Immergut’s order temporarily blocking the deployment of Oregon troops to the Portland ICE building. Lawyers for Oregon and the city of Portland are challenging that motion. In her ruling issued about 4:30 p.m. on Saturday, Immergut rejected the federal government’s assertion that Portland faces a “danger of rebellion” and said she wasn’t persuaded by the U.S. Justice Department’s argument that “regular forces” are unable to execute federal law. Lawyers for the U.S. government also failed to show that federal officers need backup from the National Guard to protect the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement building or themselves, Immergut found. The state and the city of Portland, the judge wrote, provided substantial evidence that the protests at the ICE field office in South Portland “were not significantly violent or disruptive in the days - or even weeks - leading up to the President’s directive” issued last weekend. U.S. Department of Justice lawyers called Immergut’s order “extraordinary,” arguing that the district judge doesn’t have the authority to second-guess the “Commander in Chief’s military judgments,” and must give deference to the president. They contend that Trump had more than “ample grounds” to justify the deployment, arguing that the existing large assignment of federal officers to protect Portland’s ICE facility and its officers is “unsustainable,” and local police have been unwilling to control protesters’ “violent actions.” In opposition, lawyers from the Oregon Department of Justice and the Portland City Attorney’s office reiterated Immergut’s findings, namely that Trump failed to meet any of the required legal criteria to justify the mobilization of state National Guard troops to Portland. The larger demonstrations and clashes with federal officers occurred mostly in June, some 90 days before he mobilized the Oregon National Guard into federal service on Sept. 28. “Defendants’ actions infringe on Oregon’s sovereign power to manage its own law enforcement activity and its own National Guard and cause economic and other harms to the city of Portland,” wrote Oregon Assistant Attorney General Stacy M. Chaffin and Senior Deputy City Attorney Denis M. Vannier. “What is worse, they do so based entirely on inaccurate information,” they wrote. “The public interest is served by a judicial order preserving the rule of law in the face of unprecedented and unlawful Executive action that threatens grave and irreparable damage to our State and the Nation.” The federal government has asked the appellate court for a ruling sometime Monday on its motion to put a hold on Immergut’s order. “The hope is that we’ll have a little bit of finality on that within the next 24 hours for the governor, so that she can operate as she needs to for the state,” Rayfield said at Sunday’s news conference.

Awesome, I do not have this song, I will have to add it to my playlist. Thanks for sharing this song with us! Quick Search: Aesop Rock’s Gopher Guts: Unveiling Profound Self-Reflection “Gopher Guts” by Aesop Rock delves into a deeply introspective and self-reflective narrative, exploring themes of isolation, self-discovery, and personal growth. The song paints a vivid picture of a troubled individual grappling with inner turmoil, regrets, and a sense of disconnect from the world around them. The recurring phrase “Gopher Guts” serves as a symbol for the messy and unpleasant aspects of life that one often encounters. It represents the grim and unappealing experiences that the protagonist has faced. This imagery sets the tone for the song’s exploration of life’s complexities. The lyrics also touch upon themes of mortality and impermanence, as evidenced by references to suicide, body disposal, and the idea of a disappearing difference between human ambition and materialism. The protagonist’s musings on death and disconnection from society reflect a sense of alienation and despair. The song juxtaposes these dark themes with moments of hope and resilience. The act of rescuing and encouraging the baby snakes, frogs, and ghost crabs symbolizes a desire for growth, transformation, and renewal. These acts of kindness towards nature represent the protagonist’s yearning for something better and their capacity for empathy. Throughout the song, the protagonist grapples with personal shortcomings, self-awareness, and a desire for change. They acknowledge their past mistakes, admitting to being a hypocrite, a terrible communicator, and their own worst enemy. This self-awareness suggests a longing for self-improvement and redemption. The reference to “blood-and-water chapter” suggests a familial or ancestral connection, hinting at the complexities of family relationships and the challenges of reconciling with one’s past. In essence, “Gopher Guts” is a raw and introspective journey through the inner workings of a troubled mind. It explores the duality of human nature, the struggle to find meaning in life’s messiness, and the potential for growth and redemption even in the face of one’s darkest moments. It’s a song that invites listeners to contemplate their own flaws and the possibility of self-transformation amidst life’s chaos.^[[1] https://lyricsmeanings.com/aesop-rock-gopher-guts] Gopher Guts by Aesop Rock | Aesop Rock | February 4, 2025 “Gopher Guts” is a track by the renowned underground hip-hop artist Aesop Rock, featured on his album “Skelethon,” released in 2012.

The song explores themes of disconnection, introspection, and the struggle for personal growth, juxtaposing dark imagery with elements of hope and nurturing. “Gopher Guts” opens with vivid and surreal imagery that sets the tone for the song. The phrase ‘greasy, grimy gopher guts’ serves as a metaphor for the narrator’s internal chaos and the messy aspects of life that are often hidden beneath the surface. This imagery evokes a sense of discomfort and disarray, suggesting that the narrator is grappling with their own flaws and the darker sides of their psyche. As the song progresses, the lyrics delve deeper into the theme of isolation. The mention of ‘rooms in his home that dissipate into fruit flies’ symbolizes a sense of decay and neglect, reflecting the narrator’s mental state. This imagery suggests that the narrator feels trapped in their own environment, with their thoughts and emotions becoming overwhelming and suffocating. The chorus introduces a contrasting element of hope, as the narrator expresses a desire for growth and transformation. By telling creatures that they will grow to be ‘something inventive and electric,’ the narrator conveys a sense of optimism amidst the chaos. This nurturing imagery serves as a reminder that despite the struggles and darkness, there is potential for change and creativity. Throughout the song, Aesop Rock’s introspective lyrics reveal a deep self-awareness. The narrator acknowledges their own flaws and the difficulty in maintaining relationships, which adds a layer of vulnerability to the narrative. This introspection is further emphasized by the melancholic tone of the music, creating a poignant atmosphere that resonates with listeners. In conclusion, “Gopher Guts” is a rich tapestry of imagery and emotion, exploring the complexities of the human experience. The juxtaposition of dark, chaotic imagery with hopeful, nurturing elements creates a powerful narrative that speaks to the struggles of personal growth and the desire for connection.^[[2] https://www.songtell.com/aesop-rock/gopher-guts] This meaning interpretation was crafted by AI with care.

I can hear the HR, PR and security teams screaming from here just at that idea. At best this would evolve into smart templates. But we can do that now. And we don’t actually need that since the few emails we send that are repetitive we just grab from our drafts/sent folder.

but it’s not helpful Seems pretty helpful to me to direct software requests or bug reports to the place where software or bug reports are taken. The Lemmy github page — like any github page — is indecipherable for anyone who’s neither geek nor nerd. Huh? How’s it “indecipherable”? It has some code listed, then below that is a description of the project. If you just want to add a bug report or request a feature, you click on ‘Issues’, then you check to see if that feature request/bug report is already there yet, click ‘New issue’, select the kind that you want (“Bug Report”/“Feature request”/“? Question”). Then you fill it out in the template that they give you and click ‘Create’. I’m neither geek nor nerd. Okay, but it’s not “indecipherable for anyone who’s neither a geek nor nerd”; it’s actually extremely easy, and even if you don’t find it that way at first blush, you could just ask “Hey, I’m kind of having trouble with this; can anyone help?” Is there a community about Lemmy software on Lemmy somewhere? The reason it’s on GitHub is because that’s where the developers are.

For the past couple of years I’ve been on a “home cooking” stretch making as many different varieties of cuisines possible, dough is by far one of the toughest to perfect even with decades of experience in the restaurant industry . Without decent equipment costing an outrageous amount you’re going to be spending hours and multiple attempts to get a product that resembles the flavor and texture profile you’re aiming for. I feel like the responses I see to how “easy” home cooking is comes from the Dunning-Kruger effect. No one enjoys setting up a flour station and having to clean that shit up (especially if you’re a dough slapper, which why wouldn’t you be). A beginner cutting up and prepping the ingredients for a deluxe pizza is going to take 30 mins alone (precook sausage, 7+ different items needing to be cut, blending sauce, shredding cheese). The dough is a whole other paragraph that’s just making me tired thinking about it, but decent dough takes time. Top professionals know the years of hard work and learning that is needed to efficiently run a quick kitchen. There’s so much research needed, trial-and-error, and shitty recipes out there it’s beyond unnecessarily complicated without a solid template (mentor, family recipes) to follow. It becomes a second hobby (which people don’t have time for) if you want to completely replace expenses and keep the same quality from desirable restaurants. Got a shitty oven that doesn’t cook evenly? Can’t afford anything but a wooden spoon and a large plastic mixing bowl? Temperatures in your dwelling that vary rapidly effecting your meal prep? The poorer you are the more you have to micro-manage every detail when you’re already stretched so thin.

The second column seems clunky to me. I know what everything in column 1 is for. Column 2 seems redundant or filler. For a keyword search or something like an ATS having those things mentioned is probably helpful. Though, for an ATS you should be optimizing for that separately. Right now the About Me page doesn’t tell me anything that I won’t find out on the Resume and My Projects pages. I would get annoyed at having a wasted click for no new information, and it tells me that you’re just putting stuff on a page for filler. Maybe consider combing the About Me and Contact Me pages. On the about me, you may want to add a portrait and some biographical information. Nothing too personal. The stuff you would like to share an icebreaker in an interview. It’s a good way to provide a conversation starter, “Hey, I saw on your page that you like kitties and hiking. I like kitties and hiking.” I had my HVAC serviced last week, and the company sent me a text with a photo of the tech and some general biographical info on it. Apparently the guy likes going to the gym and spending time with his family. I don’t know why I needed to know that, but now I do. Humans are social animals, and a lot of humans like that kind of stuff. The portrait doesn’t have to be anything professionally done. Any decent phone has a portrait mode. Just look nice and use a clean background. Don’t use the webcam on your monitor with your unmade bed in the background. Also, this page tells me you are more of a back end person. Someone more front end would be a little more creative on the graphical design. This looks like a default template. That’s fine if that’s the message you want to convey. That’s what my stuff looks like. I mostly do data engineering and present those data in an interactive dashboard with some manipulation and filters. In that situation having a boring and generic looking dashboard is desirable. My users prefer that since they are really there for the data and controls, and anything extra would be a distraction. If you want to convey that you are more front end focused you need a less tabular layout and more visual candy.
