    May I ask some advice from all the coders here as a sidetrack to this piece? I've recently went back to school and will graduate with a software engineering degree next May but I find it hard to practice coding based on what the college has taught me. What would be some good ways to practice? I guess I'm having trouble connecting the syntax and basics we've learned and turning it into something "bigger"

    I"ve recently switched to zen from Arc and brave due to the manifest 3 changes coming. I pay for orion on Mac and like it and also like sigmaos on there.

    I wish someone out there would put up some alternative on windows even if i had to pay a small fee which i'm not opposed to. Ladybird and servo still both seem to be years out and besides those theres really nothing in the pipe.

    It's still early but the content they have is pretty solid. They have several of the classes in and about 6 zone I believe and just announced they're increasing their team to start really pushing it out. Unless you're just super eager to get in i would wait, but I had preordered years ago and play with friends and what we do I really enjoy.

    Also just beat the Indiana Jones game which I think was great.
    PLaying two puzzles games Uncle Chops rocket shop puts you in charge of fixing space ships by following directions.
    and Loco Motive is a point and click in the style of Maniac Mansion or gabriel knight but a much more lighthearted tone. It's been great.

    I'm right there with you. While lab leak doesn't necessarily mean ulterior motives I think that's how most people willr ead it nowadays. I think it was just like most workplaces. Complaceny set it, some rules weren't followed, and bam accidental release.

    But yes the after effects of how china and the US handled it were shameful for both.
