I thought CA got rid of Jay walking bullshit in 2023.

Erowid when I was younger. Then pill reports to make sure what I was getting was what I expected.

Should add the poor man’s James bond. The anarchist cookbook. The army survival manual. There is an old army improvised munitions manual.

There are lots of fun reads that should probably be held onto.

I didn’t know they did this. Where can I learn more?

What the fuck, Bahamas? Life imprisonment?

Will already told you that wasn’t something he was interested in. Janet showed mild interest. She’d be up for it. But it wasn’t something that’s a priority for her.

So when you sent over the events and she talked to her husband about it. He could have easily expressed that he wasn’t comfortable with his wife walking around naked or having her walk around with other naked people. She doesn’t care about doing it enough that it’s worth making her husband uncomfortable.

It’s not about him telling her she can’t. It’s about each of them respecting each other enough not to do things that make each other uncomfortable. They are mature enough to have a conversation about things, express their emotions to each other, and value each other’s feelings.

He is saying being fluent and able to understand it too. So never stops means he can’t ever forget a language, as I’m interpreting it.

How crazy of a healing factor are we talking about. Broken bones healed in a day? Or healing from a gunshot to the brain?

Having a healing power that would let me lose an arm or a lung and regrow it would be awesome. But regrowing a brain would be problematic.

Does healing include not aging? Or the tearing and rebuilding of muscles? It would be wild to have a healing factor that allows you to essentially body build in a single day.

I think defining luck could be weird. Is it lucky to not die when I want to? Or lucky to do so in a more humane, less painful or instantaneous way?

I have lots of ad blockers. But my father watches YouTube on the LG TV app. I don’t live there anymore and hearing the ads from the other room became offensive to the family.

It was easier to just buy a premium family plan and call it a day.

I gave that hope up years ago.

He backed himself into a corner and doesn’t want to admit that he can’t fit it all into a final book and/or just doesn’t enjoy writing that world or story anymore.

It would be nice if he released an outline or draft. He probably could have milked that since I know I’d have bought both a draft and the final book whenever he finished it.

Att’s usage meter sucks.

I need to dig out the eeePC I have. If I could get a netbook with a better screen resolution, it would probably become my daily driver.

Be kind and use people’s names. Also, just asking for stuff.

You’d be amazed how far it will take you just to ask for something, using a person’s name, and being kind about it. Demand something and people will be reluctant to give you a thing.

Ah fuck, rincewind.

Unifi. I’ve got a box of APs as ewaste just sitting in the basement. Every so often I would get more ewaste from companies I work with.

I don’t need the most demanding of wifi systems. I hardwire most of my stuff whenever possible. And I have a fairly small home. A single AP on the main floor, 1 AP on the basement. 1 AP in the detached garage.

Most of my wifi devices are iot things on their own vlan.

Why would we need open source instead of just removing drm?

Most people aren’t going to compile old games for new hardware. That’s not an easy task.

Abandonware is a thing, and there are some websites dedicated to it. GOG has done some great stuff releasing drm free games. So long as we have drm free, we can always build emulators to run what can’t natively run on modern systems.

Infighting.

Even in a post-scarcity world, people have different desires and wants. AGI-gov would have to align with some political idealogies and since we can never agree as a human race on things, it would just lead to struggles.

Any sort of utopia is impossible to align with human nature without some radical means to control people’s emotions and desires. Because so, any perceived utopia is ultimately a dystopia.

Why the emojis? Use your words.
