Yeah, I wish it had been like that. Instead, we had to come back and ask the teacher individually later.

I remember having sex ed in middle school and I just felt as though it was awkward because they didn’t separate us by gender so we couldn’t ask the questions we really wanted to because of the girls in the class

Um, how about all of you?

Isn’t Australia the totalitarian state where you must verify your identity to use social media? If so, then just saying you’re older won’t work. If not, then the law is completely pointless.

Next headline, 4.7 million teens move to Fediverse.

By out in the middle of nowhere, you would have to not be able to connect to any carrier network at all. If you are a Verizon customer and can’t get Verizon signal, but you can see an AT&T tower, you will connect to it to make 911 calls, or a T-Mobile tower, if that’s the one you can see. It doesn’t matter. Every carrier has to carry 911 calls for every other carrier.

I have not done so yet, but I’m going to set up a few of my family members with nodes, but I’m going to get them one of those helltec mesh pocket nodes since it’s also a phone backup battery. That way they’ll be likely to actually carry it with them.

Happy to report that meshtastic is still functioning, despite not being charged a monthly service fee.

Yeah, if it’s not Zigbee or Z-Wave, I’m not touching it. Because I won’t use anything that has a cloud account attached to it.

For me, if I can’t control it with Home Assistant, it does not go in my house. I have smart plugs and I’m getting a smart thermometer and they are all badged for the Works with Home Assistant program so that they can be used even if the company goes out of business. I will buy nothing else.

Open Street Maps. On android you can use osmand from fdroid

With that said, I’ve noticed that OSM does not have a lot of addresses, especially for residential areas, so I would recommend pairing that with gps-coordinates.net two convert street addresses into GPS coordinates.

I haven’t looked at Bookwyrm in quite a while. The last time I did, I couldn’t find the books on it that I was wanting to share. I’m assuming that’s changed recently.

I’m going to have to try to go through House of Suns again. If I remember correctly, I started to try to read it and was put off by the political world environment building or whatever. But I’ll have to give it another shot.

I’m glad I got through the political parts of it at the beginning because the book itself was incredibly interesting, but I found the political part at the beginning to be kind of boring. I need to attempt to read House of Suns because I started it but didn’t get very far through it.

But according to governments around the world, we should use our IDs in order to access this kind of material. And this is exactly why it’s a fucking terrible idea.

You should sit on me instead

They will probably pay a small fine and fix the problem and the world will move on.

I’m a real fucking lightweight, because just that whiskey and Coke makes me really just want to go to sleep. And I haven’t had a drink since like February. I’ve known a bottle of alcohol to be in my house for several years before it’s gone.

I just had a whiskey and Coke. If I’m awake at midnight, then I’m awake. And if I’m not, then I’m not. I don’t really care either way. I’m just gonna chill the fuck out.

Lol
