How old is she? It can take a long time to learn to express emotions. I was terrible at it in my teens, still pretty bad at it in my 20s, and I finally feel like I am getting kinda okay at it in my mid-40s.

Be patient. Let her know that it is okay if she cannot explain an emotion today.

Consider the two of you keeping a diary of times that she was and was not able to express feelings. Maybe in the future at other times she can go through it and say “I feel like I felt when we wrote this entry”, or “I think this word/expression/description describes how I felt then”, or “I think this fictional character we are watching/reading is supposed to feel how I felt at this time”. Maybe it will help her learn how to explain some emotions, or least help you identify in retrospect.

0. Consider getting a VPS to play around with to learn how this stuff works before you expose your data to the internet.
1. Learn about how DNS works. You will create an A record (and possibly also an AAAA recordy) for your domain pointing to your home IP (or VPS).
2. If SquareSpace does not let you set records (and will only allow you to use Squarespace-hosted services) you will need to migrate your domain to another provider. I like gandi.net.
3. Learn how your router does port forwarding. You will forward port(s) for the calendar service from your router to your home PC. (Or learn how to do firewalls on your VPS.)
4. Before you actually connect to it with credentials over the internet, set up SSL/TLS certificates with LetsEncrypt.

That looks pretty nice.

Those brake cables should be cut much closer to the caliper though, you do not want those getting caught in the rotors.

I bought an old brown steel Salsa Fargo frame for cheap on a whim to build up with other parts I had lying around. The fork I thought would work did not, so I bought an old brown steel Surly fork for cheap. 1x10 mountain drive train, Jones H-bar, rack, fenders, and 50mm semi-slick tires. It is great for riding around the neighborhood. It is great for gravel, dirt paths, and fire roads. It is great for grocery shopping. It is fun once in a while on mild mountain bike trails.

I have a nice mountain bike that I have the most emotional attachment to. If I could only have one bike, I think I would have to pick my Brompton. But somehow this became the bike I ride the most.

fair.

Who are these people who do not have confidence in the criminal justice system but do have confidence in the police?

Oh yeah, fascists.

As per usual, Randall keeps going after the punchline was already delivered, ruining the comic. It would be better if there was no text in the final panel.

Are there are parts of the group that you are still comfortable with? If so, can you hang out with just those ones?

I use tmux or screen, and set the status bar in different remotes to different colors.

Florida. Nope.

Give the state’s recent attempts to interfere in education, I would absolutely not recommend giving personal information to a Florida university.

And they don’t even have snow and ice to deal with.

This reminds me of the 2021 mayoral election in Buffalo, NY, where a progressive won the Democrat primary, but the conservatives (both Republicans and establishment Democrats) joined forces to back the establishment candidate in the general election.

Correct.

Also the genocide of native Americans.
