<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@dabeaz" class="u-url mention">@<span>dabeaz</span></a></span> object is a class like any other, it has some methods and doesn&#39;t have others. Would be weird if it was handled differently, no?</p>
<p>&quot;Oh, what are you supposed to be?&quot;</p><p>&quot;A Python&quot;</p><p>(squints for a moment...)</p><p>&quot;Where are your feet? And your antlers? And tentacles? And why aren&#39;t you furry? And shouldn&#39;t the antlers have little eyeballs? And shouldn&#39;t the eyeballs have a little mouth that pops out? And the tentacles should have eyeballs too. See PEP 847. And why is your tail upside-down? And teeth...they should probably be sorted. Wait, where&#39;d you go?!?&quot;</p>

Asbestos is a mineral habit, how it grows. There are 2 main types, serpentine and amphibole. Most asbestos ever mined was serpentine which both ~has curly ends and dissolves in acidic. The rest was the amphibole which has a needle shape, is super hard, and doesn&#39;t dissolve in shit. Blue asbestos is riebeckite and one of pointiest /least amphiboles.</p><p>Long story short there is better and worse asbestos the blue shit was the absolute deadliest of the bad.</p>
<p>Trump is affectionately called &quot;comrade&quot; in China. Many Chinese support him so that China will surpass USA, yet Americans believe voting for Trump will save America from China. Republicans don&#39;t know their enemy. Chinese people only support whoever supports them.</p>
