I like the cut of your jib.
I have flood lights outside I put together from fog lights, motion sensors and lux level sensors, just in case something comes up on us in the night. I'm off-grid and battery power is always at a premium, so usage sensors are a hedge I'm willing to make.
Hey thanks for fleshing that out for me. That takes me back, makes me think of sitting in my room listening to RATM I just downloaded and burned off Napster and defragging the computer.
I miss the Internet of old. Before everyone got on it. We had hope then
In tech, SMART is an acronym. I shit you zero nots, this is for real.
Self Monitoring And Reporting Technologies
Fuck SMART everything. I am fundamentally at odds with telemetry, what is it up to half our mobile data plans are lost to advertisers? W.t.f.
I commented one time on the bear that Ukraine has a right to self defense and self actualization and got flooded by 15 different users, all pro-russia, then banned.
Oooook. But that tracks I guess. I lean left and theres nothing I hate more than leftists, except fascists.. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Desantis expanded Florida's State flood insurance, actually.
Don't give him too much credit tho, he was forced too because every insurance provider for over half the state bailed, so he had too.
It's also shitty insurance, from what I've read and filing a claim will most likely be worse than diy dental surgery. It will almost definitely be worse than Florida's unemployment webpage, which is decidedly hostile, with obfuscated links, built-in and artificial long load times, and designed to be as unappealing as possible.
GOP "help" . With friends like these; who needs enemies, right?
China has publicly included the loss of Manchuria to Russia in like 1905~ to be part of it's great century of shame and that China considers it part of Greater China.
Expanding North beyond that into Siberia would open up the arctic ocean to them, which if nobody does anything, will only get more valuable as we heat up
If it's just a banket denial, then there's no panel. Checkmate.
And the big America-pox itself, Syphilis
On the flip side, every species that allowed itself to be domesticated is now at its highest population levels in all of history. There are more cattle, dogs, cats, chickens, sheep, etc alive today than ever before.
Yes, there is disease that will jump species and that sucks but that's just life, yo. Even with those that died from that, across all specific species in relation to man, every single species had and is still better off for the arrangement. The stories can be told in the sheer numbers alone.
Dude I live 10 min away from this place. Those cats have room, they arent walled in to their shoulders. Sure everything would prefer to be running free in it's own preferential Valhalla, but I've never heard a whine, moan or complaint from any of them cats. And ALL of them are vocal enough to let you know EXACTLY how they feel. The domesticated cat is actually rather quiet in comparison to most of its larger cousins.
And regardless, it's a sanctuary. Every cat there is the result of someone getting an exotic pet they couldn't handle, so the choice becomes
Cat goes to sanctuary or cat gets put down.
I understand your animosity towards the reality of it, but place it on the people who started the shit cycle, not those trying to lessen the suck.
I wonder how much of this is due, or is spurred on, regardless of the publicly stated corporate slop, pressure from their government as they are ramping up military production in hopes of making a Chinese attack cost more than it's worth.
I doubt it. Maybe there are differences, but there's zero chance we have anything close to enough data that could draw correlations to negative effects. This is China, if not intentionally crafting data, then definitely broadcasting data that reinforces the cultural narrative they've already set. If the finding were to prove contrary to their brain rot position, I doubt they'd be broadcasting.
Just cuz a brain might work different doesn't mean it's bad. It took morning people, evening people, and nights watch people to keep us alive for the past millenni'i, why do morning people have a favored position in society? It's bullshit and fucked up if you ask me. There's medical evidence of sleep types, why can't we use that to force a schedule change? Bring back night court, fuck.
I assume ADHD brains are different from neuroboring ones too, and as an ADHD brained individual I don't consider it a disability, or a defect or detriment. I have traits I have learned to accommodate and traits I actively protect myself from, and they might not be neurotypical ons, the most common thousand or so nuerotypical problems, I dont have. And I think that life without endless curiosity with the ability to singularly deep dive any topic for essentially forever just wouldn't be an existence worth living. I honestly feel I can do whatever it is I set myself too, regardless the complexity. I can't imagine the world seen from despondent resignation.
Ive pondered more than once if I would be better off without the ADHD hyper sensitive sense of justice. I've said for years that I started this life off as lawful good and life's caused me to slide all the way down to chaotic neutral.
