A site that started as a forum for one particular class in one old (pre-dates WoW) MMO.
The population dipped a little when Facebook took off then nosedived again 6+ years later when reddit started getting super popular, but there are still a handful and change of us around with old friends dropping in to visit here and there.
I don't know what this is.
Yank special brew is called malt liquor, sits between 5% and 12% abv, and is typically sold in 40oz bottles.
Also called a fotie (FOE-dee) or a lando (because Billy Dee williams, the actor who played lando calrissian also did ads for colt45 malt liquor)
This is 42 ounces?
Find an open source project that's coded in your language of choice that you both care about (edit -- or that looks interesting to you, at least) and want to add functionality to.
Download a working copy, then, since you're learning with this, pretend the repo doesn't exist anymore and you're on your on with your self-imposed assignment.
Figure out what functionality you want to add, start with changing or augmenting something simple, and figure out where that would go in the existing code, and make it happen.
See if you can manage to Google search your way past any errors you run into, preferably alternating between ai answers and things like stack overflow posts, only instead of copy-pasting the code that errors out (or the solution code you get from ai or posts) actually step through things and figure out what the "solution" code is doing differently and ask yourself why and how that makes a difference or has a different effect from the code that generated the error in the first place. Then decide whether it's actually likely to fix the error or not. If you think it's going to? Try using it.
If it works, make sure you understand why.
If it doesn't, try to figure out why not.
Keep going until you have a working new feature.
Then try a more complicated feature.
After a few of those, try tackling some of the bugs in the repo.
The war on Christmas CANNOT END until Christmas ceases its illegal occupation of November.
We are once again calling on the Claus regime to return to their side of the borders outlined in the Black Friday agreement.
What's the thing Elon does where he keeps his head lower, but looks up at the most extreme angle-of-eyeballs he can?
AND it doesn't matter WHAT the other airport let you do because what they let you do has everything to do with THEIR policies and scanner capabilities and whatever CURRENT airport you're in follows a policy written with the equipment THEY have in mind.
Airport A lets you keep your laptop in the bag because their scanner is powerful enough to see through circuitboards and batteries to tell whether there's C4 or whatever wedged in there or not, airport B has a "laptops out of bags and power it on for me please" because the scanner in airport B can't see through all the semi-precious metals in the circuitboards and battery plates, but they're pretty sure you can't wedge enough C4 or whatever in there between the scan-blocking parts to do anything and still be able to turn the thing on.
But airport B does know what airport A does or has and it doesn't matter because they don't have it.
It's shitty and we should have standardized if we were going to do it all, but I'm betting some actuary somewhere has actual statistics on the semi-effectiveness of having differing policies and the confusion that sows.
On paper it's probably theoretically harder plan around a system you don't know, or something.
Wait, what?
Like, at the time? Or still?
I respectfully disagree on the TSA, anecdotally.
I know a few people who applied there simply because it WAS a job in their area that paid more than minimum wage and, at least until recently, by virtue of being a government job, it was more likely to actually care about federal protections for employees with disabilities than, say, retail work, which only gives the minimum required number of fucks, and only then when someone is watching or has a lawyer handy.
Also, a significantly larger amount of the population has unfortunately accepted the questionable stipulations of the patriot act than have decided due process is simply too much work, so I feel that's a distance of an order or three of legal magnitude, comparison-wise.
I'm not saying everyone who works for the TSA is there due to lack of other options, but given it's ubiquity and level of employee turnover in airport towns, at least SOME them are.
In theory that means they have newer scanners.
I say in theory because for sanity's sake I hope that's the case, but I also know how they've historically worked thanks to the likes of Bruce Schneier.
This is based on the TYPE of scanner each checkpoint has and that frequently differs from airport to airport.
The problem is, most of THEM don't even know that, so yeah, you appear mind-bogglingly stupid to them and they look needlessly arcane and possibly deliberately cruel and rude to you.

Do some of the same shit the Republicans have been doing for ages any time THEY are in the minority.
There should be a daily press briefing with Pete B, Bernie S., or Alexandria O.C. that's covered by every journalist who's been kicked out of the white house. Call that shit "The American Way" briefing and compare the events of the last 24 hours of trump BS to the constitution and the declaration of independence.
Obstruct every last piece of illegal garbage the Republican Nazis are trying to get away with loudly and publicly.
Put themselves OUT THERE in the public eye as AGAINST FACISM and go full-on captain America on those Nazi Republicans.
