@BryanLastRedDrop Oops. Starting goal is 3 days. Water's easy & cheap or free, just don't put it in washed out milk jugs. #WeekendGoal You don't even have to live in "earthquake country" (though people forget about the New Madrid fault in MO. Last quake, it rang bells in Boston …

Hey Julie! What happens when you wake up at 4am and check your phone?

*points at her soapbox*

#LongCovid #MaskUP

kalifontanilla 13h I'm in California visiting the very liberal town of Santa Cruz, and I've seen several people STILL wearing masks They are all women and not elderly. thought masks were supposed to 'protect others." So do these liberal women still wearing masks have chronic communicable diseases? juliewebgirl 20m A) personal health is not a political issue B) we are still in the middle of a pandemic. It's only the "emergency" label that was removed so that people would go out and start spending again C) others are mocking your homeschooling, I say good for you! lt's also not a political thing. Protecting your kids for various reasons is smart..juliewebgirl 14m D) would you protect your kids from a life of a long list of symptoms including severe fatigue, POTS, dysautonomia, heart issues, if you could? l'm talking about Long Covid. I have Long Covid and I don't wish it on anyone and before you go where I think you'll go with this, no, I did not get a Covid vaccine, I got Covid. Twice. And each time brought new symptoms. And I had ZERO pre-existing issues. In fact the last time I was sick with a flu was 2014..juliewebgirl 8m I'm pissed because the govt (both D's AND R's) lied to us and kept changing the lies so we wouldn't know which was real. BTW that 6 ft rule is bullshit. Covid is an aerosol, not a droplet. It can stay in the air up to 9 hours after an infected person (with or without symptoms) leaves the room. l'm happy to expand on any of this. My Covid soapbox is sturdy, I can go on for hours (but then I have to rest for a day & a half, but it's energy well spent to (re-)educate others)...juliewebgirl 3m So where you see women in masks, you assume they are liberal, (oh and btw, I don't fit either liberal or conservative box) but I see people who either HAVE Long Covid and don't ever want to get Covid again, or have never had it and don't wish to (it affects women at a much higher rate than men). I see the most intelligent people in the room.

RE: https://social.treehouse.systems/@mgorny/116850557368769958 An odd fact about MS DOS and batch files: there isn't (or didn't used to be) a sleep command so everyone would ping localhost for n seconds instead. I made a tiny contribution to WINE years ago to add a ping command…

There are only two types of people who talk seriously about data centers in space:

People who don’t know what they are talking about.

People who think you are stupid.
