One thing I like about #BrightSpace: I can import a calendar of events for a class/module, and if I change something, delete everything and reimport in a few clicks.
Pattern: manage your data outside the web app, import easily, remain in control.
All it needs is a calendar program outside that can export ICS format (and do it programmatically for a defined subset).

“Tariffs are an import tax, plain and simple. I would assume the administration understands that.
“I actually am surprised that it was so lacking,” Senator Maria Cantwell added, of the administration’s case.
The court did not appear persuaded, either.
“You want to say tariffs are not taxes,” said the liberal justice Sonia Sotomayor. “But that’s exactly what they are.”

Is diesel behind the US takeover of Venezuela?
Diesel is the main fuel used in road transport, mining and quarrying, and agriculture. Fuel oil is used in shipping but with the regulations of 2020 on sulphur emissions, it is closer to diesel in character and this in turn impacts on the scarcity of diesel.
The US has to import the crude oil to make diesel. Its own crude is too light
Venezuela's oil is very heavy.

How many enemies dreamt of destroying the White House. How many soldiers wished they could flatten it. How many generals fantasized about razing the American People’s house.
This one man beat them all. Same man brought the confederate flag into the Capitol, same man presides over the largest tax hike in history (tariffs are import taxes), signed off on the ending of nutrition for the hungry and end healthcare since it will now be unaffordable.
This. One. Man.

So: just watched all the Topaz Video tutorials. Very interesting workflow. There are a whole bunch of different models in there that are trained on specific tasks, so you can try denoise by this or that one, upscaling by a different one altogether.

Hey @…!
I’ve been using bitwarden for a while now, and I’m interested in signing up for the Premium plan now. Tho I’ve seen that y’all have EU servers now (not sure if that was already a thing when I first made my account?), and I’d probably prefer that over USA.
It seems that I can manually export my vault to a json and import it in a new account set to use EU servers, but will my Passkeys also be migrated if I do that?

The tidyverse is a popular meta-package comprising several core R packages to aid in various data science tasks, including data import, manipulation and visualisation. Although functionalities offered by the tidyverse can generally be replicated using other packages, its widespread adoption in both teaching and practice indicates there are factors contributing to its preference, despite some debate over its usage. Thissuggests that particular aspects, such as interface design, may play a signif…
