So, I'm thinking about clothes again. Currently, it's about retail stores and plus size clothing. They have so much data and so much research. How are they so bad at it?
Let's start with how there's not enough. Over half the women in the US wear a size 14 or higher. And yet, anything past a size 16 is getting pushed online or just not made at all? Even places that cater to larger sizes are pushing more and more things online.
And it's so frustrating because it's nice to try things on. I hate ordering something, waiting for it to arrive (because I didn't order from Amazon), having my wife try it on, then returning it and doing it all over again if it doesn't fit.

Early in reading Learning Curves, I was talking to my wife about a couple of the awkward bits of writing in it. She decided to pull up GoodReads reviews to see what they said. This is where I learn that other people are bad at gauging things on a scale.
Being a romance novel, it has sex it in. Most romance novels for adults do. It comes with the genre.
Some of the reviews for Learning Curves said there was no spice to it. One person gave it a Green Bell Pepper as a spice rating. By their descriptions, I was expecting something PG-13 where they cut away as sex happens (I've read a book or two that does that).
That was not Learning Curves. The sex was explicit. Their first time together went into detail on what they did to each other. Touching, and licking, and fingering. There was feeling and yearning and heavy breathing. Honestly, the author did a great job portraying their almost frantic hunger for each other while still keeping it easy to follow.
I consider it fairly spicy. It's not the steamiest I've read, but it's definitely higher than average. A lot of romance novels tell you how big the guy is (he's always very thick), and then brush over the specifics to focus on a handful of sensations important to the protagonist.
Has the internet broken people's scale for horniness? Are things not spicy unless it's straight up smut? Am *I* the one that's bad at judging it? Who knows.

Maybe the fediverse has the answer. I have Python scripts on a Linux server that I am running as a service account. They need packages from PyPI for the script to work, and the account does not have a home directory. How should I handle the virtual environment for that?

I would like to follow more illustrators and artists. Send me your favorites!

Yesterday, I took a day off of everything. This is the first job I've had where I could do that, and it only took me 2 years to actually do it.
It was nice.

Sometimes I think to use the phrase "Holy Toledo". Which is from 1995's Gumby: The Movie. And then I think about how old I am, and that few people probably remember Gumby, and my hair turns a little grayer.

My wife showed me this rad Minnesota Rebel Alliance logo. Even better, the artist made it public domain.

The cops aren't going to do shit to ICE anyways. Most of them don't live in Minneapolis, and just as many probably support ICE. On top of that, the Minnesota FOP released a statement standing behind ICE on Twitter.

If I had to guess, GNOME is probably using the caldav discovery record.

I have a Steam OS device, and, to Valve's credit, it's very easy to get GOG games installed and playable from the game mode. That's how I play Stardew Valley on it.

MacOS isn't Unix. It's Posix compliant though (which it got from BSD code, and why people think they are related).
Wine runs on Mac. Valve previously had Proton running, but changes to the OS and the switch to Arm caused them to stop working on it. At least, that's what I heard.

If it works, is it wrong?

I follow people that post about the things I care about. Honestly, I follow people that are interested in things I don't care about simply because I love how much they love their interests.

They already took care of them. A lot of colleges have already taken down their Affirmative Action policies as part of the government's fight against DEI&A.

It's for a scouting org. There would be a national group, and around 30-ish or so local groups.
As for the UI, I wasn't sure if all the servers were strictly API or if any come with a web UI by default.
Either way, I'm trying to convince and onboard a lot of parents that are used to Facebook and Discord. So it needs to be very simple.

Folks with Matrix experience. Is there a server implementation that has a decent UI and can handle multiple organizations?

I made a point of installing it on a separate drive because I figured it would break something like that.

What's the Debian VM do? File stuff, or services, or something?

Could always do containers on OpenSUSE MicroOS.
Though, I'm not sure what all you're running now.

I'm restarting Babylon 5 while I build a website for my scout group. There's so much that's cheesy about it, and so much that I love about it.

As a single person, there's not much I can do on a national scale.
But as a new member of a community, I can get involved to try and make people's lives better locally. Does anyone in the Twin Cities know of some non-profits that help the more vulnerable citizens? (LGBTQ+, immigrants, homeless, etc.)
