So… France protests the same way Eagles fans lose. Noted.

Honestly, not a bad call.

They are cheap (loss leaders if you got a costco card) and they will feed a family for a night. Remainder of the carcass can be made into stock and that will make you way more than the asking price of the same liquid from your local grocer. Fresh home-made stock will bump up any rice or noodle soup you want. Plus, what you dont use quickly can be frozen into soup cubes.

Its easy to cook (if not a bit time consuming) to get $30 worth of stuff from a small $10 bird.

I would personally argue that turkey is a better poultry, but the american thanksgiving roast is the worst way to cook most parts of the bird.

Exactly this. If you hear people talking about investments around the Thanksgiving table, its time to bail. All the smart people got in months ago and have left, they are just looking for bag holders now.

Correct, but a few additions.

They already have your credit card on record for repeat purchases (if you pay digitally, they know who you are), thats not the data those apps are after. They are just as bad as tiktoc and reddit when it comes to tracking phone activity and asking for every permission that isnt nailed down. Your phone activity data is worth more to data brokers than a free sandwich every tuesday.

How do you do fello space nerd.

The getting people to use it.

Took me months after issueing my friends and family accounts for most of them to get the concept and install something to log into (I still get complaints about Element, and thats one of the nicer ones).

For mobile apps, if its not seamlessly integrated into their existing accounts or they have to remember a new password, you might as well have given them a bag of spiders.

There was an immense effort to rectify the issue, same with the ozone crisis. Cant say the same for current issues, most news has to both-sides everything and there are much more (or atleast more prominent) contrarians like the anti-vaxers. Never again will we see a unified front against a global issue because someone will always benifit personally if failure is on the table.

• Wants her friend to be happy.

• Is too insane in the membrain to take that step her self.

Correct. But I hope that motorola makes a second one. So ill be shouting from the rooftops for people to get their soon to be legally problematic computing equipment sooner rather than later.

Seconding the motorola suggestion, but hold a little longer until the GrapheneOS compatable models drop.

I curse you!

I curse you with balls-fall-off disease, and lupis.

And not the one with the wolves…

Is this the shitty internet version of “The Most Dangerous Game”?

Seconding CoMaps.

Completely replaced google maps for me a while back. It works as in-car navigation (with GPS audio queues for when noone else is doing nav), downloading maps is a highlighted feature instead of being burried in menus and it does not live sync to traffic or ask for route changes. It simply does its job and does not ask for your attention after it gets going.

And I also know that there are many train/aviation/weapons enthusiasts in the gaming world who could do that shit for a living.

How many days has it been since a classified breach happened on the WarThunder forums?

I see we are doing beans again.

All of them live at peoples houses (so access to a normal power source) and either have some small lithium cell or an 18650. Only expirmenting with small solar panels and you need larger ones to run repeaters or routers as they are more active.

It is and it isnt, you do need to put in effort and manage expectations with meshnets (which makes it a hard sell for normies and people without a direct need). I was at DefCon a few weeks ago with my nerd herd and we functionally only used Meshtastic for our coms for the entire conference. On a few occasions I had to set the hop count to 5-7 but that was to get messages into or out of the main building. Once in the main hall (and using the cons firmware because it needed to default to shorter chirps to not saturate the airwaves) it worked just fine and our fleet of nodes was working perfectly.

Do note that there were ~2500 meshtastic nodes inside a convention hall, and electromagnetically speaking, that was probably the most chaotic place west of the mississippi that week.

As for out in the wild, Ive set up a small fleet of repeaters around town and can send longer range signals a quite a long distance away. Any further communication would require enabling MQTT, setting up servers and building real infrastructure. Thats a whole other can of worms I dont have the time to do yet.

Ugh… I feel your pain.

Linux full time at home, bazzite/steamOS for games. Mint for the media center. Debian on proxmox for homelab, and early attempts to not hurt myself with nix for the laptop.

But I support windows/OSX at work, so I have to keep up with all three worlds.

Do not end up in

• The newspaper
• The hospital
• Or jail (if you do end up in jail, establish dominance quickly)

Addendum: Dont do anything you would be afraid to explain to the paramedics.
