  • Fellow right-side-of-the-ponder here (so take with a heap of salt). So basically both sides present mitigations (“my client had a clean record until now”, “the defendant was found liable for SA”, sort of thing). These may change the outcome of the sentencing, including specific dates for any period of incarceration.

    There will also be part of this given over to why they defendant shouldn’t be found liable for also violating his gag order (very similar to the ones before, but this one is now he is a felon). And if the defense counsel can’t explain why he did that (which is pretty much indefensible) then he can be both found liable for the breach and have it impact his potential sentence.

    I am not a lawyer, I am not American, this is just what I understand, until someone better comes along to correct me.

    I’m only mentioning this because it’s not been mentioned in any other comments but there is a Python implementation for the CEF (Chrome Embedded Framework). It let’s you write your front end in HTML/CSS and JS while letting you call back to a Python backend. You can use any existing JS framework to do your styling (offering the most flexibility) while keeping business logic in Python. It’s not exactly what you were asking for, however you mentioned in a different comment thread that tkinter looked outdated, so thought I’d mention it.

  • Nice to see a British food section actually filled with British food, had a (German) colleague excitedly show me the Tennessee BBQ sauce he’d bought from the “British” section of a local super market, he was sad when I told him it wasn’t authentic, or British.

    Also, Typhoo and PGTips, but no Yorkshire Tea, shameful! ;)



  • Shout-out to WWBT for the following quote:

    Schools in Great Britain, which is home to Big Ben, are removing analog clocks from classrooms because the students can’t read what time the clocks say, according to a report in The Telegraph.


    In a story about children lacking basic education (which is also wrong btw) they cited that Great Britain is the home of Big Ben, which is true, however it is the name of the Bell behind The Great Clock of Westminster, which is what they probably meant. I wouldn’t normally point it out but when a news station doesn’t do the research for their article, as well as citing an irrelevant detail which is also wrong, I feel it needs to be pointed out.

    I’m in my forties and I think every milestone decade has been better than the last. I also wholeheartedly agree with the above statements. I hope you continue to do the things that make you happy and carry on your enjoyment of them :)



  • I think you may misunderstand what I did. It was reaching out to people who had opted in to be part of market research. If they said “don’t contact me again” or if they were hostile then they got on the “no-call” list and were never contacted again. The only way that we could have got their phone number is if they submitted it during some sort of sign-up process somewhere. So I think you might be equating the work I did with something else.

    The “cold” part of the “cold-calling” I mentioned above was because they weren’t explicitly expecting the call, but they had somewhere signed up and agreed to be contacted.

    Refusing to take work is a rather privileged position, not everyone has that luxury, and I didn’t at the time. That being said I was out of there as quick as I could find something else (I only did 2 weeks).
