I’m not sure if you’re aware but when it became apparent that a big event was happening on the morning of Sept 11, the hospitals braced for mass casualties and… waited… and waited… and they never came.
There were only 20 people pulled from the rubble. Six were firefighters, and 5 were police.
Nurses get a lot of well deserved praise. It’s just that in this case there wasn’t an uptick in emergency medical needs.
One man’s “leave a shit” is another man’s “take a treasure”
I’ve tried a ton of distros but nothing has beat the stability of Slackware. Also been using it since around the same time

Doesn’t matter how many. We’re old. Some things we experienced when we ourselves were already adults happened a generation ago…
There are people having children right now who weren’t born yet when Borat came out
I’m on my phone and didn’t see the knife. It could still be about privilege because he has a knife advantage that no one else has, not that I’m really hellbent on making it about privilege, it just struck me as the kind of thing a person who doesn’t believe in privilege would draw.
This would be a good illustration about privilege. Dude thinks he’s smarter than everyone else but he’s just been given a ball to roll while everyone else is pushing cubes.
I don’t know, you could probably find something that plugs in, but the trackball on the Nexus One was right below the screen and it made text editing easy. You could also scroll through text, web pages, home screens, sections of apps, and you could tap it, double tap it and hold it down to do things. It was so useful.
Gotcha. I read your post wrong.
The phones are one reason I don’t think Meshtastic is good for emergency communications. My main Meshtastic devices run off a battery pack that can run them for 2-3 weeks, but I’d also have to keep a phone charged throughout the disaster to use them.
You don’t need cell towers. Your phone is just used as an input device for the radio.
I wonder if it’s just me or if other people who were around before Ubuntu feel the same way but the reason I hate Ubuntu is that it seemed to take over the Linux world.
A lot of the information about how to do something in Linux was drowned out by how to do it in Ubuntu. When searching for information you have to scroll down in the search results for something that sounds unrelated to Ubuntu.
Ubuntu material was often titled “how to do it in Linux” and you thought you had a good long tutorial until you read a few paragraphs in and realized it was for Ubuntu and wouldn’t work for you for whatever reason.
Even some software that says it’s available on Windows and Linux just means they have a Ubuntu package and if you’re really good there’s a chance you might be able to figure out how to use it on a non Ubuntu system.
It’s like when Ubuntu came out, people just assumed that Linux was Ubuntu. I’ve never used Ubuntu so a lot of the information I’ve came across regarding it has just been in the way of me finding useful information.
When Paltrow was selling those candles that smelled like her vagina, I bought one. It smelled like ass. Turns out I had it upside down.
I’m in the US but it sounds similar. It’s hopefully good enough to track down a pet owner, but I wouldn’t trust it to learn the correct name of the person in front of you. It could lead to a previous owner or it could be registered to someone else in the family.
They use RFID/NFC but at a lower frequency that your phone can read. There are pet chip readers for as low as $18 on Amazon. Might be awkward getting caught scanning your friend’s pet though, and I’m not sure you’d get their info.
The one time I found a stray dog the chip only gave a number. The dog also had a collar that had that number on it and a website like FindMyDog or something. But when I put that number in, it just gave info for a local shelter. I went to the shelter and they confirmed it was a microchip number and they had records showing they had owned that chip but had given that chip to another shelter. The second shelter gave me the owner’s info.
So, basically, I think the pet owner has to upload their info to a pet finder website, or else a vet can look up where the chip came from and whoever implanted it might be able to give you the owner’s info.
I wouldn’t know. I just passed the mensa test because I’ve always been good with tests, but I don’t think I’m smarter than anybody in terms of brain horsepower.
However, I’m curious about how things work and retain information like crazy. I’ve come to realize not everybody does that. Some people think I’m really smart but it’s more like I have experience or interest that they don’t have in the thing they think I’m smart at.
There are people who think urine is healthy and, I guess, drink it or something. I used to have a screenshot of a Facebook post where someone asked their fellow urine lovers if they ever put it in a humidifier and there were a lot of replies about how to best do it
