Hey all, I’m starting my search for internships. If you know of a good company looking for interns, I’d love to know.

I’m a second year in computer engineering, hoping to go into cyber something. I’m adaptable to nearly everything, and I’m open to just about anywhere.

You gently run your hand through the rack. You can feel it—pure cotton, rich wool, Irish linen. The plump buttonholes are handsewn; the buttons attached with a firm shank. You flip the price tag over. It's affordable

You buy the jacket and go home, which is only 15 mins away. Your apt is $600/month

Also make extra sure to stay hydrated, and try to take it easy if you can for the next few days. I don’t know if there’a much a doctor can do much to help, but especially if you don’t know what happened, keep track of how you’re doing and get it checked out if anything gets worse.

Depends on how bad it was, but keep tylenol/advil on hand and expect it to be rough for a month or so.

When I got a concussion it was about two months of brain fog and headaches, and unfortunately not much helped. I hope it’s less bad for you and everything goes away quickly. 🫂

Sorry to break it to them, but you’ll always beat that by a mile. Keep up the good work, it’s always fun to see your new puns. ;)

I know there’s something off with me, but as far as I can tell I’m not autistic (limited sensory issues and (hopefully) believably decent human interaction). I’m halfway thinking ADHD but don’t know if anything is severe enough for that (everything takes 2x as long to do but it usually gets done).

Markus @fl4re.bsky.social · 10h

Would appreciate hearing from others. If you’re neurodivergent, what made you get a diagnosis (or not) and was it something clear to you or just thinking something was off and getting it checked?

Supposedly there’s only 3 others like it in the country, though google hasn’t helped find those. Have you heard of anything like this, and is it as bad of an idea as it seems?

Markus @fl4re.bsky.social · 13h

Really interesting video, thanks for sharing your knowledge with us.

Also, a random question for you if you don’t mind. A new dorm was just built at my school, and there’s been rumors of the elevators being wifi based. So when the internet goes down, so do the elevators.

1. Yesterday, the press gave Gavin Newsom favorable coverage for signing pro-LGBTQ+ bills.

Little noticed, however, was that he vetoed one of the most important ones: a bill allowing trans people 12 month HRT stockpiles, protecting them from federal threats.

The bill would have allowed transgender people to maintain a safe supply of medication in the era of government crackdowns on care.

Free earworm for you all.

Definitely not the type of music I usually listen to, but very very catchy (and a good beat).

Once again: Verilog should not compile the first time without errors. Even worse, it is not supposed to actually function as expected.

I felt like I had a heart attack when I didn’t see any bright red errors.

If I need to continue further on my rant of how the homeless are seen as less than human, I can.

It’s a good thing few people in this country have empathy for others, else they might realize how awful all of everything is.

If anyone likes algorithms and would like to either explain or point me to resources of how to do really basic sorts that would be great.

I have spent the last two days trying to implement a largest first sort in C and I am dying.

The real crisis is that there are too few normal ice cream places.

Discovering your mint chip ice cream is actually a coconut-based horror is not something anyone should have to endure.

Fun fact for anyone near the lake: The bodies in Lake Superior are kept mostly preserved from how cold it is, and they sink from the cold. If the temperature of the water rose too much (2 degrees I think), Lake Superior would start returning her collection to the surface.

Enjoy :)

It’s the second Wednesday of the month, which means it’s time for Nerd Nite at @blackhartstp.com! And it’s October, so all our talks are spooooky! First up: Mara on the dead bodies of Lake Superior!

Updated my phone to ios26, and the entire Bsky site broke in 30 different ways. Twitter and other sites work just fine.

Possibly a subtle message do go do something with my life instead of scroll.

Ken Paxton’s plan

“How Do You Do, Fellow Kids?" is a reaction image commonly used to respond to users pretending to be part of a community that they are clearly unfamiliar with. The image features the actor Steve Buscemi dressed youthfully and holding a skateboard, and is usually subtitled with the tagline. The image is often photoshopped to adapt to a particular subculture, and the phrase is often used in conversation without the image. It’s edited to include random trans symbols including a trans Texas saying “y’all means all” and a badge that says “fuck the cis stem” and a trans hat with the hammer and sickle symbol.

Text reads: How do you do fellow transgenders

Would you have suggestions on where to start learning assembly (books/papers/etc)?
I learned some of MIPS and it was really interesting, but it doesn’t translate over very well to real assembly from what I can tell.
