Last Pycraft video of the night, feeding yourself. Use inventory manipulations to give() yourself food, a stack of food, a netherite hoe, and for good measure, paste in an automatic wheat farm.

Next up in Pycraft videos, get yourself some quite-nice gear with nice_gear(), netherite gear with full enchants, a ridiculously powerful bow and shield. Keep yourself safe in your new world.

Trying something new, creating videos about Pycraft (a server-side extension for Minecraft that lets you code in Python). First up is creating a mansion as a home base.

Ford ran a test by using it to annoy Toronto during an election. The response was near zero. So yeah, obviously he is going to use it whenever he wants. If citizens still vote for him when he does, what does he care if it is wrong?

[Mike Fletcher @[email protected] @thevrplumber]

It was intended that invoking the #NotWithstanding clause would be radioactive. An admission that what you were doing was fundamentally wrong, but that you were doing it anyway.

@toodees2D You are either trolling or somehow so stuck up a right-wing media-hole that you missed the plain facts of those measures working time and again. Either way, seems unlikely that this interaction is worth my time.

Went home to the country this week.

The radical right is ascendant out there. FreeDumb convoy bumper stickers. F-Trudeau stickers. Cdn flags as F-Us everywhere.

Ontario-outside-416 is deep in the thrall of the right-wing media. Someone is manufacturing consent for Fascism.

@toodees2D Because Ford wanted to declare victory so he could win another term. He stopped the health folks from reporting or even gathering the data. In the end, he doesn't give a frak, and would be A-OK with the health system collapsing so he can sell it off to his cronies.

False intellectuals who peddle warmed-over self-help with a dash of right-wing BS, presented as though it were divine truth, in order to lead impressionable young people into alt-right nazi-ville, can frak right the hell off.

Note: if you are using a desktop browser, or not looking it up from home on your cell, check that the location reported matches your riding!

[Mike Fletcher @[email protected] @thevrplumber]

Look up your riding on https://t.co/RjkhLK12vw and vote for the candidate to beat Ford. There isn't one right vote everywhere.

Don't let Ford dismantle health care and education just because you like green vs red vs orange, choose whichever will carry your riding.

What are people using for stable access to metadata from typing.* ? Like "is this a typing.List, and if so what is the subtype" across python 3.6 through current?

[Mike Fletcher @[email protected] @thevrplumber]

Gah. Vote for whoever is going to keep Ford out of power. Look it up on votewell. Don't let 40% trump the will of 60% again.

World: eh, Netflix, with these price increases you're not a great deal any more...

Netflix: let's make the service less attractive, with ads and more restrictions!

World: ...

@KimMaida POKE the colour index you want into this address + X*240 + Y to draw the picture on screen, that's the video buffer.

@jeffwilcox Each slide should be up 15s, readable in 2s, with some extra detail that might let people focus on for 5s. Auto advance and adjust timings during rehearsal. Twelve minutes talking, 30 minutes discussion seems too much. Sounds like you should add another 40 or so...

@AlSweigart Having used it in go it is a pita when multiple people edit the same set of values on different branches causing the whole block to conflict.

When an Alt Right Gateway, whose whole shtick is pseudo-intellectual-bullshyte-based plausible deniability while whistling in the dogs, claims that there is no Nazi culture in Canada, you can assume he's just building his brand on the back of your outrage.

@pydanny 1.1 or 1.2 back in 1995, IIRC
