9. Nosferatu (1922). When I was tracking down a version of this to watch, most of them distinguished themselves by the accompanying music provided. The one on Alamo On Demand in particular had a soundtrack derived from actual live performances at the original Drafthouse location. Seeing this on a big screen with live music sounds incredibly fun

Attachments:

• Movie poster for Nosferatu (1922). An illustration of Max Schreck as Count Orlok in front of a solar eclipse and the silhouette of a building.

@tsherrygeo Yep. The Whole XYL, YL, OM thing amongst others needs to go. I don’t expect that anybody that has used these for years and thinks nothing of them will drop them, but more and more of us can just refuse to adopt it going forward and hopefully phase them out over time.

A local brewer here in Lincoln, NE called Code, that has always used a lot of Morse code in its decorating, seems to have started to lean into this further with radio-related beer names. It’s had me thinking about other possible names… “Ragchew IPA” for a session beer, “QRT Imperial Stout” implying that you’re about to go dark, “Dummy Load” for a non-alcoholic beer, “Solar Cycle” for a California common…

Dear HelloFresh,

There is absolutely zero reason I need 59 unread notifications from a meal delivery company

Especially not when those "notifications" are actually ads

And ESPECIALLY not when you offer zero option to make them go away.

• Ballpoint pen drawing in black, gray and green of an elven woman, looking frontal at the viewer. She has a v-shaped fringe, a short fuzzy mohawk, shaved sides and long strands of hair at her pointy ears. She is wearing an overall with circuit board style patterns. Below her eyes, stripes are going along her cheekbones, as if an augmentation. She is holding a curved blade in front of her, while she is grinning slightly, as if she is about to strike. Behind her a decorative black rectangle with a cut off edge, some white circuit pattern and a green offset to the left, for contrast. (remote)

Imagine you had half a day to introduce a #Python #dataviz library to a novice in programming.

Would you use Matplotlib? Seaborn? Vega-Altair? Plotly? ...

If you were new to Python, which of these would be the most exciting to you and motivate further learning?
