It was though year. I finished my PhD, yay! Now, I’m on vacation from my main job, as educator at Sesc, and yesterday I wound down some last freelance work obligations. I really need a break.
I want to rest, make some “prints” of my drawings for friends, go to my local museums and have coffee/tea with friends, and that’s it!
Today we celebrate 18 years of our local #Python users group, #GruPySP, and I’m going to meet friends from #GaroaHackerClube, that’s a great start :)
Many thanks to the @pdfarranger@pdfarranger people!
I recently had to deal with hundreds of pages being inserted as appendixes on my PhD thesis and it was a breeze (the PDF manipulation was a breeze not the thesis, mind you :blob_clown:)
Everything went fine, contrary to what my brain has been warning me to expect for ages. #PhD
So 429: Too Many Requests on my GitHub hosted images, breaking my tutorials etc… Not good!
July will be gone and my escape to Codeberg.org has not even started (I have to finish my PhD…)

Republicans, Men Push Trump Approval Higher in Second Term
Jeffrey M. Jones, PhD and Megan Brenan, Senior Editor | Senior Editor - The Gallup Organization
_Stephan: What amazes me is how the percentage of MAGAt monarch Trump’s approval rating remains so high. I see this not only as a political issue but, even more, as a cultural issue. It reflects the weakness, resentment, and insecurity of American men of all ages. It is such a powerful trend in America that it … ⌘ Read more

PhD level science questions? (+1)
niftydude an hour ago
A PhD level science question is a question that can only be answered by scientific research and experimentation.
And no, by “research”, I do not mean googling.
Literally the whole point of a scientific PhD is to perform experiments and study to answer a specific research question that no one has looked into yet.
