I want to learn #python, but I'm not good at following reading on a website. I am a visual learner. I do learn by examples along with trial and error. I know there are sites out there that have good documentation and examples, but I have a hard time following.

I'm looking for slow #ELI5 video tutorials. I found a couple on YouTube, but they tend to speed through things like you've been programming since the 80s.

Maybe the world will eventually stop to look west to see how things are done.

In a survey run by Randstad, a global human-resources consultancy, 42% of respondents in the United States said they don't want a promotion because they're happy where they are.

This is a continuation of a pattern which started during the pandemic where people question the value of working increasingly harder for companies that clearly don’t care about them.

My SIL is a manager at her company: she says this predates the pandemic, at least in her industry (which is heavily female-dominated).
in reply to Dare Obasanjo

it was becoming normalized for tech workers (though maybe more the minorities) to spend 100+ hours of their own time putting together promotion packets to prove to upper management that they deserve a promotion. If that practice is ending, I'm glad.

Elon: "I think we can reduce the annual federal budget by atleast $2 trillion per year. Your tax money is being wasted and the Department of Government Efficiency is going to fix that."

He also said he wanted to crash the economy so he could get everything back on track , and don't worry, it should only take a couple of years before everything is fixed.

Even assuming that he wasn't a complete idiot (and he *is* a complete idiot), who would ever trust his timelines on any project? He is infamous for missing deadlines by YEARS.

Elon only cares about stoking his own ego, he doesn't care about consequences for anyone else, at all.
