DID YOU KNOW? Without Linux, we wouldnโ€™t have Git. When the Linux team lost free access to their management tool, BitKeeper, in 2005, Linus Torvalds built his own replacement in just weeks. That tool now powers almost every major coding platform.

I was introduced to SVN and used it for over five years before I ever encountered GIT. That gave me an advantage in that I understood most of what GIT was doing (except rebase) even though the flow was a little different. I also prefer to use a UI for interacting with GIT over doing it from the command line.

Adobe Is Ruthlessly Killing Off Software That Animators Around The World Are Using Every Day

Enterprise customers can access the application, download their content, and receive technical support until March 1, 2029. For all other customers, technical support, application access, and the ability to download content will be available until March 1, 2027.

Hello brains trust!

My fairy wand as the Wattle Fairy Godmother is more of a walking stick. It is both cute and badass! Don't mess with fairies with big wands! hehehe!

For seven years the ceramic bird glued to the top has held steady. Last year it came off. I asked people what to use in order to re-attach it. A particular glue was suggested as being extra tough. It was a two-step thingo. It lasted one day at the festival for which I needed it, but by late afternoon, someone pointed out that my bird was hanging by a gooey thread. So, I removed her before she could fall off and possibly break.

Does anyone here have any ideas how I can attach a ceramic bird to a rubber cap on a wooden staff?
