So... me. Work in aerospace, more space, not as much aero. Can fix my own car, choose not to. Can fix the random appliance of your choice. Hardcore introvert in person, which is why I love online. Lifelong science fiction fan. Read constantly. Scalzi is my favorite author, because he mixes exactly the right amount of snark into his writing. Together with a guy 30+ years, married since it was legal. Own a home in CA and don't plan to leave unless I immigrate to another country.

I thought you were going to move somewhere and live with family? Did that fall through? Or am I just on crack and hallucinating again?

I've always loved Alison Moyet's voice, but she stopped singing because she got so much crap and stress for being "heavy". They kept telling her she had to lose weight to be a singer.
In hindsight, giving humans free will feels like giving a toddler a chainsaw.
As true today as it's ever been:
It's called HaikuΒ³.
New College students holding their own graduation ceremony with lawyer and civil rights activist Maya Wiley, instead of the official commencement staged by Republican Party apparatchiks.

I don't feel hungry very often. I notice I need to eat because my blood sugar drops, and I get sweaty, get shaky hands, and a kind of nervous energy and I know I need to eat something. It's a very distinct feeling.

I don't know what you're talking about.
It's easy, if you make sure one of the sticks is a match.
They do make biometric (fingerprint) padlocks. There's a chance you might go out without your fingers, but it's probably a very small chance.
Wondering if anyone has any ideas to help me!
We're getting a fence and gate installed in the backyard soonish. I want to be able to lock it with a padlock so the dogs can be loose and I don't have to worry about strangers opening the gate. I am very very bad at numbers so I don't want the traditional number code padlock. (I think I have dyscalculia). I also don't want to have to remember to bring a key with me. Are there other options out there?
Yeah, these days if I pass a house flying the flag from their front porch, my first go-to is "MAGAt assholes".
I didn't used to think that.
I resent the right's appropriation of the concept of "patriotism", the US flag, etc. I would love to take that shit back for the vision of a free multi-cultural democracy that values equality of opportunity.
Oof #today was just one long list of doing stuff that I'd not planned to do, mostly tech support for my father.
His computer monitor was actually whistling! Not that he noticed, his hearing's not that great.
But we had a very civilised tea on the stoep with all the dogs and cats in attendance, so that's OK.
Tomorrow I'll catch up with everything I was supposed to do today...
since a lot of folks are becoming newly interested in escaping corporate silos and moving to community-based services, are you aware of @matrix?
Matrix is to Slack and Discord, what Mastodon is to Twitter: a decentralized, federated network based on open standards/specs. It also supports full end-to-end encryption, just like Signal, so you can exchange messages privately!
If you find the fediverse interesting/inspiring, I recommend giving matrix a whirl. The quickest way to get started is to head over to https://app.element.io/ and make a (free!) account (although you can also join any number of other home servers, or host your own--they all talk to each other!).
If you _do_ end up checking it out, please do say hi! I'm @zkat:zkat.tech over there. I also manage a "space" (a group of channels, kinda like a Discord server) that you can join by clicking here: https://matrix.to/#/!tKdDSgQTxQzcOuTXqV:matrix.org?via=zkat.tech&via=matrix.org&via=envs.net
I hope this sparks your interest! I'd love to see you over there, too!
