What's the whistle for? I think I may be out of the loop on this.

Why (and how to) cook a PB&J?

🤔 are you like an anti-spam spambot?

I'm pretty happy with my Fluance RT82. Zero complaints.

Though, to be clear: it's the only one I've owned, so far.

Strangely, seeing the second amendment grow in popularity gives me a positive feeling, and I don't understand why yet.

🤔 what do they think "strive" means?

I started getting into Meshtastic recently. It creates a p2p mesh network with other Meshtastic devices and you can send text messages through them. It seems good to have in case of emergencies/disasters.

Also, I recently discovered Bitchat. It seems similar to Meshtastic, but works over Bluetooth, so much shorter range. Might be useful in crowds or apartments though.

If you can find a way to disconnect from the Internet for several days, you might really appreciate the experience. Maybe a camping trip, or some sort of vacation like a cruise.

The first day or two might be a bit rough (it really is like an addiction), but once you get through that part, it's amazing — in my own experience, anyway. It's like all anxiety just melts away. You literally can't worry about anything that would require Internet access to find out about.

A vasectomy would only remove the sperm from the semen.

I think my "reaction" was fairly normal for common people reading an internet comment. Most people aren't going to take the time to analyze every occurrence of divisive language like that.

If I were a Republican, and someone suggested that I "made out with my sister," then I'd probably sense a disrespectful tone in what I'm reading. It's unfortunate that it "contaminated" the surrounding text which was actually making a decent point.

In other words: Does the inclusion of the "made out with their sisters" part make the communication more productive, or less productive? (Though "productive" might depend on the actual intent, e.g. unity vs. division.)

When so many people needlessly choose divisive language, people become more divided. How is this not obvious?

Slightly off-topic: For those who might not understand this, the book How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie might improve your life. It was written in 1936, but a lot of it is still applicable because humans are still humans. If you're not into reading, the audiobook is good too.
