Found an old cartoon made by me in 2012 explaining the sorry state of the scholarly publishing market. Not much has changed. Or, maybe I should add a panel with an AI-bot stealing the papers from his desk while muttering "Thank you!".
We found out my high school's WiFi password was dymo$agptek14 and I've straight failed to enter my pin when I turned scramble numbers on. Had to pull up the emergency dialer to learn the numbers rather than muscle memory
Good. I'm glad someone else understood that gesture. I feel old sometimes, but I think I'm at the point where I'm at the very middle of my past and my future. Where I'm both old, and not old enough just quite yet. Anyway, glad I could make you chuckle a bit.
Hey, yall! Are you transfeminine and wanna help Do A Science?
Some folks based out of Vassar are doing research on how transfeminine people communicate to each other about medical stuff. If you're interested and can sit for an hour, maybe consider it.
The image features a black background with white text arranged in a centered format. The text is divided into three lines, with the word "DRINKING" emphasized in a larger font size and bolded, set against a white rectangular background. The text reads: "I TOLD MYSELF THAT I SHOULD STOP DRINKING, BUT I'M NOT ABOUT TO LISTEN TO A DRUNK THAT TALKS TO HIMSELF." The text is in all capital letters, with the word "DRINKING" being the most prominent. The overall design is simple, with a clear contrast between the black background and the white text, making the message easily readable.

The image is a cartoon depicting a humorous scene. In the foreground, an elderly man with white hair and a beard, wearing a brown vest and gray pants, is standing on a grassy lawn. He is holding a cane in his left hand and pointing upwards with his right hand. His expression is one of mild annoyance, and he is speaking, saying, "There you are! Give my leg back you little shit!"
In the background, a young man is sitting in a small treehouse built into a large tree. He is wearing a turquoise shirt, green pants, and headphones, and is holding a tablet with the text "History Podcast" on it. The treehouse is constructed from wooden planks, and the young man is perched on a wooden platform, with his right leg extended out of the treehouse, seemingly taking the elderly man's leg.
The scene is set in a backyard with a white fence in the background. The text at the top of the image reads, "Jimmy loved to sit on Grandpa's knee and listen to stories of the past." The artist's signature, "LRtoons," is visible in the bottom right corner of the image.

Had a short below a bulk cap, which fried the voltage regulator and the microcontroller. To access the regulator i also had to remove the potentiometer at the back side.
That C book was still used when I studied software engineering in the 2010s. It was even considered a 'modern' C book because it had been updated to include ANSI C...
