Yay! We started making our own.

I think you can swing by and get some, but you may have to pay a couple hundies for the *rix ones and the COVID/flu altogether. And maybe call ahead? I’m not sure.

Interfering with emergency services? Well the ambulance chasers know where to find them.

Having lived in America and Canada, I can reassure you it’s a little different, and not the time for fire-bombing a pipeline yet.

We don’t discuss our tactics. They make geneva conventions once they know them.

We’re burning the place for Sure this time, though, if we can get all the way to Florida.

We should protect everybody from the need to turn one’s head and/or look up from the phone. Since everything else out there

• trains not at a crossing
• a truck rolling town a hill
• a falling anvil
• an angry bear
• a hungry bear
• a grumpy bear
• a poked bear
• a curious shark
• an everyday Humboldt hellspawned squid

…all make noise to remind human-shaped prey to look up from the phone and avoid danger, the Chevy needs to fall in line.

In a world where we need to remind people “do not use hot iron like a telephone”, we need our blissfully silent things to make noise.

You’re assuming there isn’t a master pubkey baked into the software.

The worst day picking up trash or searching for an escaped felon - why are all bases near prisons? Weeeeird - is still better than the best day getting unknown mud in your teeth and wounds. ;-)

There’s an “it ain’t much” meme in there for sure!

I see what you did there. And it was excellent.

Hey when I joined up to get my own country’s armed forces to pay for my college, most of the ads highlighted our own regular-force army swinging (rappelling) down from helicopters to bundle people up for extraction; or marshalling aid in some random warzone; or wading through rubble.

The training backed it up. We were, back then, primarily a unified force to be deployed for support, and only rarely armed. And, since we do not have a national guard, that’s the role we needed to sometimes fill. That, and so many sandbags after a bit of a long walk. ;-)

Sadly, that kinda sums it up.

That’s what the character was known for, my dude. A wealth of knowledge on a momentary detail that was both surprising and oddly tangential.

Fake, right? Or did Lego drop some beach/gym scene?

You got that from a sovereign citizen weirdo, didn’t ya?

It’s neat how thunderbird has an add-on.

Familiarity goes a really long way. My mom still wants her PortalTV unit to answer to voice commands.

My mom and my wife’s mom have computers soon to be out of support. Windows.

They need something stable, but also that does all their normal stuff. I’d love something that updated cleanly like enterprise Linux, but gave them the win7 interface they had for so long (they complain about this one now).

So that’s your market. Yeah, a wine box would work well, and Nobara is nearly the winning candidate. But even it requires a lot of finagling for windows people, and I’d love something completely seamless so it’s easier to support.

They’ve only almost barely nearly shat out a usable Unix with hurd. Give them another few decades, my dude!

The last product of theirs I used was TheSettlers III. It was fun. But, after that, they made a series of bad decisions. Weren’t they the first to have an umbilical so even LAN play required a working Internet connection - and rumoured a good one - or the game would quit?

I wish them well and I wish them a lot of smarts so they can get better.
