Was interested in bears' self awareness when I came across this.

"You're committing the classic zoological sin - anthropocentricity. This means "centred around humans", and it's the idea that "if something is more like me, then it is more likely to be intelligent/good than something that is not like me". Bears have more anthropoid (human-like) traits than dogs do, so most people do subconsciously think of them as "smarter" than dogs, but there is no basis behind this assessment. It's important to be aw...

I'll probably make donation buttons or section some day.

You've heard it or even said it. Probably believe the 'Election was stolen.'

It is great that the bullshit continues to be surfaced and your beliefs challenged. Protests just magically came 'outta nowhere' like coronavirus. 'No one saw it coming.' Uh huh.

Start of a new year.

Feeling like my old self again where I can stay up playing video games or coding. Stayed up until about midnight playing and beating Ni No Kuni 2 to close out 2020.

ExcSn Checkup at the end of January on myself and what the hell I've done the past 3 months and advice on any adjustments I need to make.

Hoping stocks I've invested in rocket up.

Is it a surprise they fired a competent person?

Flutter/Dart, whatever you want to associate null-safety with. Why is this lint error a thing? The official solution is to migrate the imported library. Lol, I don't believe it is my problem that the library is not "null safe".

This null safety change is just a syntactical sugar change. It moves all existing types to nullable opt-in. This assumes that all libraries are opted-in to nullable types while any libraries compiled with new dart versions are opted-out of nullable types by default.

For example, assume...

Speculation on my part that the attack on Nashville was done by a militia. I'd be surprised if it were a lone attack given the amount of infrastructure damage. Who says militias don't keep in contact and they aren't working with others to stage more attacks.

Of course my other speculation is the radical right disgruntled with the election vote. 😂 Nashville is Dem territory, so.....

I'm sure whoever the attacker is/are just good people trying to save their country though! Not a terrorist attack, I'm very very ...

and you decide to retaliate.

I like this quote:

I made my first options call contract purchase. Bought a right to buy 100 shares of a certain stock at a premium. Currently in the green and I foresee it staying there for the time of expiration in 2 months.

This contract is a derivative of shares, which is why it is called derivatives trading or options trading. I am not buying 100 shares, but I can choose to buy the 100 shares at some point during this contract or sell the contract to someone else at a higher price. If I don't like the price of the shares...
