@a71ec350 Honestly, I was rooting for Ida. Albert deserved some oven time. 

 @b5cdaf1a The hope is that no one will hear the date, just retain the carbon neutral part. But it’ll always be greenwashing, making new cars will always have a significant impact.

 @06d3112a I was trying to text my wife that the town was quiet, but autocorrect tried to turn “street quiet” into “street queers”. 

 @792a3c2d Yes, it may have to be through the desktop interface. Every app interacts with Mastodon differently, according to their own developers' whims, so there I can't be of help. 

 @a71ec350 Okay, by the time that was over, I'll admit I was disappointed that at least one more person didn't end up in the old bread oven. 

 @792a3c2d Should be under Settings (gear symbol)>Account.

 @a71ec350 I'll take that as a recommendation. Didn't know which to watch next. The last one we saw was "Dragonwyck," which was delightfully off the hook (and yet, pretty historically accurate!) 

 @b5cdaf1a I was thinking today that anyone who thinks the science isn't in on climate change should *really* not take any form of medication – climate science is based on hundreds of thousands of observations, probably millions. Pharma studies may have a few hundred observations. Environmental policy, which I did, often relied on a handful of samples for make determinations. 

 @4de99194 I'm imagining a Shakespeare festival where all entrances and exits are made on #bicycles. 

 @a70abf94 Listen, I made as many as I could! 

 @a71ec350 That does not sound like an easy watch. 

 @55cc3e77 I know. Our company repeatedly sends us phishing attempts, which is great. But then the legitimate communications also look phishy. When they launched the cyber security training, they never notified us first – we were all just sent enrollment notifications from a third-party website. Gawd!! 

 @f43c60e5 Hmm... I think MapMyRide used to do this, but I don't know if it does anymore. 

 @06d3112a On SDF, loading is taking so long as to discourage it. 

 @c8fadb91 I've used Arvixe for many years for both domain registry and webhosting. Not the best for support, by far not the worst, but  you can point your nameservers wherever you like. As for privacy, I've never seen any issues coming from them. I'm not a very tech person, you may have specific needs. 

 @06d3112a When I was in grad school: 10:30 every night, The Patti Duke Show and those horrible sugar wafer cookies. That was my stress relief. 

 @ff0321b8 That was when I fell into them, and then a friend told me I'd like their first two albums better. He wasn't wrong! 

 @b8f20444 I don't disagree. Cloud computing is sorta inherently evil when you can't control who has your information, and you can't keep it out of the cloud. 

Anyway, posts deleted because I'm just not looking for that kind of feedback. 

 @b8f20444 "I love being able to see who's at my door etc." – which has nothing to do with the fact that Ring is sharing your info with police agencies. And I didn't tell anyone to do anything! Just shared the info. 

 @fd2bc569 Once I finally tasted actual maple syrup, I recognized that that corn syrup stuff is an actual crime. The color scheme in this ad does nothing to refute that realization. 

 @06d3112a All (mute conversation, mute person, block person) still available for me on the web interface. 

 @f8da0a07 @06d3112a Comin' up on my 40th anniversary, so don't believe I can agree with the last point. The first two I'll gladly concede as a) an alcoholic b) relative of a gun suicide. 

 @55cc3e77 I like that setup. I mostly avoid docks if I can. Most docks for motorboats that I've encountered are far, far too high for either of us to get in or out of our boats. If we can use it, on bigger water, or in boat traffic, the boat's just gonna get banged around against the dock anyway, so if I can get out, I'll pull it out. 

 @55cc3e77 One town where we used to live touted their new kayak dock. Great. They made it accessible – not for kayakers, but for wheelchairs. Great. That meant they put in a low railing all around that made it utterly impossible to safely launch a kayak from. I just found a safe bit of shoreline to launch from instead. 

 @55cc3e77 Well we started out for decades as canoeists, so to us it's natural to be able to tie up, but the reality is that it mostly gets used when I'm marshaling the boat into place for her to get into it. She can't really get into that boat from a dock. (The canoe has a painter too, but it's in the back) 

 "And they saw that praise was reserved henceforth for those who devised means of getting paid enormously for committing crimes against which no laws had been passed. Thus the American dream turned belly up, turned green bobbed to the scummy surface of cupidity unlimited, filled with gas, went bang in the noonday sun. 

 "This oversight was engendered by a weak-kneed sympathy for those who loved expensive things...

"Thus did a handful of rapacious citizens come to control all that was worth controlling in America. Thus was the savage and stupid and entirely inappropriate and unnecessary and humorless American class system created. Honest, industrious, peaceful citizens were classed as bloodsuckers, if they asked to be paid a living wage... 

 @06d3112a in the original formulation, worked just fine. 

The reality us that nearly all health and medical studies are done on a frustratingly small number of people. Results are easily skewed, and nearly always biased. A single case study of a handful of people can stand for years (decades) before further analysis is done… largely because the only funding for most studies is profit-driven. 

 @06d3112a Hoo boy. Sounds like you two were the buffer for that person delivering a huge revelation. 

 @6eae7be7 It’s such a process and often a thankless one as you get your submissions less than gently corrected by others. 

 @0969237f If you get a chance, check out Forever Changes record store, just around the corner on Main Street— my friend Shawn owns it and is the best. I know he promoted some tickets for your show and said you were dope! 

 @878d351c Agree with all of this. I rarely get that personally invested in any of the teams or personalities, but Wiggins, Froome and Sky were just grim-death-racing-as-a-business, and it made the races SO boring to watch. There's so much more joy and mutual support in the women's peloton, and now that spirit seems to be coming into the men's side as well. And yeah, I want *everything* for Sepp, but especially whatever he wants it to be. 

 @55cc3e77 Timely. We've got a friend who is struggling and thought she'd had her epiphany, but it didn't last. She's in constant crisis, and can't see that what she needs to do is *stop* struggling, and just stop. She's even had some longish sobriety, but I don't think it's happening until she gets serious therapeutic help. So hard to watch. 

 @06d3112a Their perfect lives are often not only an illusion, but an outright lie, carefully constructed and abusively endorced. I’ll take my outsider contentment. 

 @b5cdaf1a Unfortunately you're not the first person I've heard say she thought her curly hair was somehow "unprofessional." I'm really sorry that constrained you; there's plenty of awful appearance restrictions but that was one I really wasn't aware of. 

 @06d3112a Hooray for that! 

 @2b564dc4 An underappreciated treasure 

 @06d3112a We did a huge downsizing when we moved down here, and there has been a whole bunch of stuff I *swore* we had cast off that somehow reappeared. Zombie goods… 

 @55cc3e77 I wasn't sure the weather broadcast still existed. Last time I tried it on my walkie talkies I got dead air. Will have to try again; useful in the areas without cell service. 

 @06d3112a Hey mister, we’re sorry we ruined your sprinkler! 

 @b30d9485 Thanks so much! 

 @bc80eaf5 Thanks for putting behind a content warning. I once had a filter that blocked all these colored squares but lost it and can’t figure out how to do it again. 

 @b5cdaf1a I just finished re-reading Kurt Vonnegut Jr.'s "God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater," and ... hoo boy, is that book on point for these times. And it couldn't align more with your statement. 

 @2b564dc4 I’m such a fan of Gould’s Tracy, but looking at it now, it can be so incredibly brutal that it’s hard to imagine how newspapers even ran it.
