Yep. Voting for the lesser evil is meant to keep the window open. Allow valid elections to continue, allow advocacy to continue, and hopefully keep more people alive. It’s just buying time. The real work in such a dynamic is not in the election booth, it’s on the streets and in smaller offices.

If anything, this election shows that the meme isn’t happening the way it’s shown. The Dems moved more right than ever, and voters did not show up for them.

Call it what you want, I’ll take good that’s available when great isn’t a viable option. For one example it would mean a chance at rebalancing the courts, but now they’ll be steamrolled and conservative for decades. RIP roe v wade

I never saw burnt toast as an EMT. But I have seen people exhibit lots of aphasia, (expressive/receptive). People say some weird shit when they get water in their ipod. Frankly it’s a pretty scary symptom because the patient KNOWS they are receiving or emitting incorrectly, but can’t do anything about it. I bet the burnt toast meme came from aphasia

Your description of what to look for is great. Time really matters, don’t “wait it out”. I’m looking at you 55+yo men that refuse to “make a fuss”.

Strokes are one of the most “oh shit let’s go” calls we ever ran. (Obviously massive trauma and heart attacks too)

Sweet I’d say automate the boring stuff is excellent.

My meaning was python plus those things is an awesome world of hobby and professional development, that’s all. Lots of great projects can be even greater with python

Absolutely not. I’m in line with others.

I suggested a basic python book, then listed topics to get into next. They didn’t discount they already work in gis, it acknowledges they said they want to learn how to code and apply it to GIS.

Did not, I’m describing things you can do with gis across the spectrum, ESRI or not, preferably once you have a decent python foundation. Edit I and others are saying “do some non GIS projects in python FIRST, then explore these GIS related things.” Because jumping to scripting in arc pro alone isn’t advised.

Why are you being combative? I’m not hating on them at all. I literally just rattled off common file formats, libraries, and projects to consider. The original comment says they scraped a few things together from tutorials, and I and other comments are discussing how to build a strong foundation, then extend it.

I’ve got no ill will for OP.

Knowing how to script a bit in arc pro does not really mean you know anything about python, or programming for GIS at even a basic professional level. That’s ok, no hate, everyone starts out. Checking out various software, formats and libraries, in addition to getting the python basics down will open a huge world of projects and even work opportunities

Agree, I don’t think I went against that. I certainly didn’t say it’s JUST geojson and web map. That was just a list of keywords. I opened by saying these are more things to get excited about.

If it’s just esri (they said q too), but if it’s just esri, automate the boring stuff + arcpy and you’ll be a happy camper.

Cartographic stuff is super simple in any framework. Data processing and network topology are great things to study that aren’t web map. Remote sensing is the coolest shit and you can literally get free imagery and use free tools to make surface analysis and identification…not as a super raw beginner, but not long after.

Learning about the common open source file formats, storage strategies, and processing libraries is attainable (and desirable) by a beginner who has automate the boring stuff under their belt

Jumping straight into esri and staying there, without getting some general education, is a good way to end up not knowing much about python, and generally developing weaker workflows.and automations, in my professional experience.

Like I said, learn some python basics and good habits, then consider gis.

So did you click a link to go to a source, or, what?

Get the basics locked.in before dipping into GIS.

Edit, because someone misunderstood me… You’ll have an easier time extending your existing GIS work by getting a nice foundation of non GIS python skills.

There’s a lot of odd patterns and domain specific requirements in the spatial data world, not even mentioning the nasty beast that esri is.

Provided you listen to my above advice, here are some other keywords that will help excite the home-gis dev: geopandas, (pandas), geojson, geopackage, QGIS, leaflet (not python but easy to connect a leaflet frontend with a python backend), openstreermaps, map box, earthexplorer (USGS free aerial imagery of lots of imagery types)

If it must be esri based, arcpy is a popular library.

But do you love snacks as much as him

Yep. The long advancement ramp should be seen as the enjoyable point of the play, not a speed bump. If you aren’t built that way, it won’t be fun

3 is the way.

Have your goals. Feel your feelings. But don’t expect to jump to the other side of the ocean. Set small goals and revel in your daily/weekly wins.

For example, I wanted to eat better and save money, when I was young and had no money. It was harder then, but I tallied up all the fast food money I was spending, and realized if I didnt buy fastfood I could afford more and better groceries including more fresh vegetables and meats. And STILL saved some money.

So I watched my grocery bill and stopped eating fast food, ended up with some extra cash each month, and even lost a few pounds.

This is a small thing, but I felt more in control of my life, and it made me happy.

Modern banking apps have search features to make tallying your spending easy

Vintage story is pretty cool too, if you’re looking for a longer advancement ramp

They offered to pay on the gamble you’d say no and look like the bad guy to your kid.

If you go, arrange for it to be just you and your kid, for YOUR week, then fly home

Very online folks word lawyering to the n-th degree. Language shifts and has different meanings in different countries.

To play along, I’ve heard “expat” to refer to someone on a work appointment with a fixed timeline, say, someone who works for Microsoft being sent to France for 2 years. I’ve heard many Americans say “I’m immigrating to” to mean they are going through permeant resident or citizen pathways with the host country.

Others have a different read of the word, but as long as you aren’t a jerk wherever you are going, it won’t ever come up

You only supplied.aj editorial. There has been 200 years to throw the supreme court out, why do you suggest now it is so self evident

Suggesting a president will throw out a 200+ year old standing surrounding the stability of the different branches of government is ludicrous. That’s an editorial enjoying a fantasy. As I originally said, that would mean overturning the core principles of governance in this country and would destabilize the entire hierarchy of legal jurisdiction.

Edit further, I was most interested in the Senate, but followed this track to keep my replies on line.

Edit edit, the two institutions would support themselves, guaranteed.
