in reply to Ms. Que Banh

The early cross cultural marriages between Chinese men & Indigenous women occurred more often back in the gold rush & railroad building days because Canada had the head tax on Chinese people & also it was mostly men allowed to come here to work. There were very few Chinese women allowed to come into Canada. The Chinese men worked for basically colonial slave wages, like Indigenous workers - both were paid far less, for same work, as their white coworkers.

If I did get a digital camera, what do people think of the Pentax K-70? since I have some old k-mount lenses
in reply to Matthew Miller

interesting! to be honest, i prefer manual focus so that's not as much a concern to me. my lenses are for analogue cameras though (not sure exactly how old), so the aperture aspect might be an issue
in reply to 0x4d6165

It's also somewhat harder to manual focus, for three reasons: smaller viewfinder, no manual focus aids (split prism for example), and we have much higher expectations for correct focus in digital files than generally people did with 35mm film. But that all might be okay.

@staringatclouds And all I got was shut up, you’re a borken record, just saying the same things over and over, lalalala, putting hands over ears.

My latest gaming review dives into the chaotic kitchen of Cook Serve Delicious 2, where rebuilding your restaurant empire requires the reflexes of a ninja and the patience of a saint. From perfectly timed pretzel flips to inexplicably cleaning toilets mid-service, this game serves stress with a side of satisfaction.

"Our caucus is unified," says Schumer.

Team Fight has won the CR battle in the Senate Democratic caucus.

Semafor:

Schumer on Senate floor: "Funding the government should be a bipartisan effort, but Republicans chose a partisan path"

"Because of that Republicans do not have the votes in the Senate to invoke cloture on the House CR. Our caucus is unified" on the month-long CR #DemocratsInArray

6/ More from Josh:

ADDITIONAL POINT: I've now heard this independently from enough sources that I think it's true. A big driver of the Yes faction in the Senate Ds is the idea that a shutdown will slow down the court cases. When first heard this a couple days ago I thought youv'e got to be friggin' kidding. REALLY?

in reply to Laffy

Okay, so make a show of allegedly not caving but also caving at the same time. Got it. Very sorry to say this, but this is par for the course with the current #DemocraticParty and how they roll. Frankly, I’m all in for a shutdown, even if it lasts a really long time. How could that possibly be any worse than what we’re living through right now? I haven’t had my full regimen of antidepressants onboard this month due to some phrmacy shenanigans, I’m hoping/praying I’m up to speed in a week or two. Meantime, I’m lucky if I haven’t hit maximum existential dread by 1 PM.

#Teachers and #academicmastodon :

Does anyone have a good substitute recommendation for using live google docs in the classroom, something that is privacy-conscious?

I often use a live #Google Doc, and sometimes a spreadsheet, having students work on tasks as a class.

Getting away from Google, Microsoft, etc. is the goal here but also preserving student #privacy. Even better if no login is required at all.

Aside from something like an Etherpad, most of the options seem to lead back to the big companies. Firing up my own #Etherpad instance might be an end goal but I won't get to that until summer...

Any suggestions? Please feel free to boost.

I would start with degooglisons-internet.org/en/ run by framasoft.org/en/
They have lots of free alternatives for commercial sites.
