Pink Floyd's Animals.
You know it's really bad when the flags are at half mast and you can't figure out what recent tragedy it's for.
Tulalip asks which way is it headed?
Also, if you have an Executive Director that makes six figures, it's too late.

Random comment: if the first priority and main concern of your #nonprofit is "how can we raise more money" rather than "how can we serve our community", then you've lost touch with your purpose. You've got to serve the community first, and not prioritize things by how much money that activity brings in. (yes, you have to keep your nonprofit going... but mission, first).

Looks like people sell modules that let you fit a USB connector into a case and pcb designed for a DE-9 connector.
I just saw one of these for USB-C on a device.

Yep, I've listened to it twice 👍
@timrichards @bookstodon@a.gup.pe
It was the most original story I've read in a long time.

Reading Andy Weir's latest science fiction novel, Project Hail Mary, and it's excellent. Without giving you too many spoilers, something is threatening the end of all life and the main character is on a suicide mission to avert it. Lots of science, but delightfully easy to read.
What I'm particularly pleased about: this is the first fiction I've read since COVID began that isn't a sequel or something I've read before. For some reason the pandemic stress created a cognitive hurdle for fiction; instead I have read many, many great non-fiction books, often about travel.
Great to be reading new fiction again. Particularly science fiction, the most thought-provoking of the genres IMO.
