Not right now, I’m on break

You can use this design, but if you want it to accommodate 3½-inch disks you’ll need to scale it down to two thirds of its specified size before printing it.

Does your computer have a floppy drive? You might be able to find a copy of this at a secondhand store:

Formally.

What if there were an outside force that was attacking students/university

That happened at UC Los Angeles a few months ago; the university police chief and 19 of his officers stood by and watched the attacks for over 3 hours before intervening: https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/2024/05/11/ucla-protests-police-inaction-fights/

UC Merced annual training required only 7 rounds, while UC San Francisco used 7000 and UC Santa Barbara used 9000 🤔

Shoutout to UC Davis for having the only police department on the list who “did not use any military equipment during this timeframe”.

For some reason the linked PDF varies from the screenshot in several ways, though most of the numbers are the same. (UC Riverside’s number of rounds of .556-range ammunition used in training is 3000 in the screenshot but 6000 in the PDF now.)

I was curious how much this launcher costs:

… over here I see this glorified paintball gun is normally $2400 but currently on sale for just $1850.

the same twitter account that found the youtube found it

here is the bluesky profile for the actual Matt Nelson it is: https://bsky.app/profile/gusavocados.bsky.social (via)

The phrase “I am about to engage in an extreme act of protest” is homage to Aaron Bushnell’s statement.

I’m pretty sure that is not the same person

Snopes says they haven’t found evidence that this is something he actually said, and also that even if he did say it, it was most likely “kayfabe” - a pro wrestling term for maintaining the story line outside of the ring.

Otoh, https://www.houstonpress.com/news/opinion-the-reality-behind-hulk-hogan-vs-andre-the-giant-16554572 is an interesting read i just found while searching for the above which includes some good reasons why Andre might legitimately have stopped being friends with Hogan. Also TIL Jesse Ventura tried to unionize WWF and later learned in court that it was in fact Hogan who had ratted him out to their boss (Vince McMahon). (Or maybe this is all just higher-order kayfabe? 🤡)

also: The Oyster was an erotic magazine published in London in 1883

That pin can be found for $30 or $35 on on ebay here and here, where it is described as being from the 80s and as an “employee pin”.

I was thinking that this might have been something aimed specifically at technology buyers in US schools in the 80s or 90s, to whom Apple offered substantial institutional discounts in a (relatively successful) effort to dominate that sector. However searching the phrase “does more costs less” i found this TV spot advertising the Quadra 605 which at $1000 was the cheapest computer Apple sold when it was introduced in October 1993 (and allegedly cheaper than something else they refer to as “PC Leading Brand” 😂). That system was sold under the LC and Performa brands up to 1996, but it was only sold as a Quadra until October 1994, so, to answer OP’s question: that slogan was in use at least sometime in that year.

For some reason that article doesn’t link to it, but it is a real tweet he made in February (and didn’t even delete after being called out for the highlighted search terms in his screenshot).

adding all compiled file types including .pyc to .gitignore would fix it

But in this case they didn’t accidentally put the token in git; the place where they forgot to put *.pyc was .dockerignore.

At my workplace, we use the string @nocommit to designate code that shouldn’t be checked in

That approach seems useful but it wouldn’t have prevented the PyPI incident OP links to: the access token was temporarily entered in a .py python source file, but it was not committed to git. The leak was via .pyc compiled python files which made it into a published docker build.
