- Comment on My smart sleep mask broadcasts users' brainwaves to an open MQTT broker 2 weeks ago:
Legitimate Use! Stuff like your idea is why the technology should exist but instead it is just one more data point to feel to advertisers.

But can I hook it to HA and have mosquitto send me notifications of my thoughts?
- Comment on Push to repeal Section 230 raises stakes for how social media moderates content 2 weeks ago:
Keep section 230. Treat any service that uses recommendation or engagement algorithms as publishers.

628 Ah at what voltage?
- Comment on In Pulp Fiction Vincent made a big deal about a $5 milkshake, which is less than a crappy one from a fast food joint costs today. 2 weeks ago:
Do McDonald’s shake machines work now? They used to always be down when I was younger. It was a sad day when DQ closed and the only shake option was to drive 30 minutes for a Wendy’s frosty shake

- Comment on Five young teens on life under Australia’s social media ban: ‘It’s not a big deal any more’ 3 weeks ago:
But you don’t in Australia? The digital verification schemes are bad too but they can theoretically be done in a privacy respecting way.
- Comment on Five young teens on life under Australia’s social media ban: ‘It’s not a big deal any more’ 3 weeks ago:
I was mostly teasing. I do believe, as you seem to, that rights are eroded from the edges and that is one reason it is important to protect activities we disagree with. 'Protect the kids" is often used to deny rights to adults but kids are legitimately protected by the laws of society from a lot of predatory things. The social media ban doesn’t stop adults from doing anything or make them do anything so it doesn’t fit the case for sneaky control like cisa or gun control in the US or chat control in the EU. I don’t think advertisers should be able to advertise directly to children. Teams of human psychology and behavior experts crafting the most addictive product available and being able to constantly live A/B test their newest ideas is bad for kids. It’s bad for adults too but to each their own.
- Comment on Five young teens on life under Australia’s social media ban: ‘It’s not a big deal any more’ 3 weeks ago:
It’s like when the government took slot machines from kids, then cigarettes, then alcohol… A never ending erosion of rights that serves no legitimate purpose.
- Comment on Recently got a place with my boyfriend and he thinks this is perfectly fine 3 weeks ago:
Maybe he’s just preparing. The first time I lived with a woman I was surprised at how much faster toilet paper went
- Comment on We need libraries, but instead of books, you borrow musical instruments. 3 weeks ago:
I’m not sure what you’re trying to get at? How is a library having instruments for people to play different from libraries having books to read?

“If you need toes, I can get you toes.”

Do you have a max toe number or just a minimum?

Opposite of the exhaust if the car is anthropomorphized but I think logically the fuel filler.

OP in the image’s user name is that of the first woman to hold federal office in the US. I’ve been to a museum about her
- Comment on Getting worn out with all these docker images and CLI hosted apps 4 weeks ago:
That’s neat. I never gave ansible playbooks any thought because I thought it would just add a layer of abstraction and that containers couldn’t be easier but reading your post I think I have been wrong.
- Comment on YSK - All song birds on the planet are descended from ancestors in Australia. 5 weeks ago:
Always and eternal is the carsinisation cycle. One glorious day we too will realize the optimal form and shuffle sideways into Nirvana. Together, as a species, we will snip the ties of suffering that bind us to this samsara.

Cast iron oxidizes into rust so I don’t imagine you’ll see a nice patina like on copper cookware.
- Comment on Kids would encourage parents to get gas here so they could see the dinosaurs 1 month ago:
When we’re in the Mt West my young kids like the dinosaur gas stations. They may have come as far south as North Texas recently but I never see them very far east
