The meshtastic website has a getting started guide that assumes you already have equipment first…which is odd. Is there a reason to go with Bluetooth only? Does it make more sense to get a Bluetooth and WiFi device?

I recommend you actually look up statistical relevance And what that means Compared to proof
- Comment on China Is Banning Tesla-Style Retractable Door Handles Over Safety Concerns 2 weeks ago:
So no other peer reviewed studies then? You’re a one article is absolute kind of guy? Good luck out there.
- Comment on China Is Banning Tesla-Style Retractable Door Handles Over Safety Concerns 2 weeks ago:
Likewise 30,000 people out of 1.3 billion is not going to be representative. Again do you have any other peer-reviewed studies or are you just basing your entire beliefs of one small sample study?

Yea, I’m sure all those folks in Hong Kong that were rioting approve of their new government overlords. I’m sure the Uyghurs would say they’re doing just a fine job. The article even mentions they didn’t ask laborers. I don’t disagree that they asked those people and they did respond that way. However whether people answer truthfully about their authoritarian government is a completely different thing. So yes, I do question this one single survey done of a small sample size and there’s really no way for them to account for everything. How many other peer reviewed studies do you have besides this one?

I would not trust any research that states 95% of people agree on almost anything, that’s extremely unlikely in any situation ever. Any study saying 95% of people approve of their government of all things sounds like coersion, faking, or simply a culture that fosters saying something regardless of truth. If you asked thousands of people in Russia if they approve of the government, they’ll say yes. But they aren’t being truthful. I’m betting they didn’t interview certain groups as well, as those folks are being killed by the Chinese govt. So yes one study saying one thing is definitely not enough to overcome the hurdles.

No it seems the problem is you appear to think because there are a few positives, the governments are functional. So I guess it depends on what you mean by functional. You are welcome to disagree, I was just clearing up what I meant. There are people that say at least Hitler made the trains run on time. I wouldn’t say functional though.

I apologize if my original statement was not clear, I was also following suit and meant nice for the individual. Essentially I was saying one governmental nicety doesn’t make up for the country’s govt being a cluster fuck.
- Comment on China Is Banning Tesla-Style Retractable Door Handles Over Safety Concerns 2 weeks ago:
Your original statement said must be nice as in it must be nice for the governed. Not that the country was being nice. The governments of both countries are complete garbage. Must be nice to have this one thing work is different than either being a functional government for its people.

I don’t think China or the US would be called nice in this regard.

Do you have an example of this? I read Steam Reviews every once in awhile if I’m interested in a game and I’ve seen a few jokes but mostly full reviews that sometimes are so long I just can’t even read the whole thing.

Russia being wiped from the map doesn’t mean you kill all the people it just is the country and as I said it should be split up. I think there’s a difference between internal corruption and invading another country. I believe I was banned because someone simply didn’t agree with me and they could have simply just not responded and thumbs down if they didnt like what I said. But whatever though, the person that originally posted just wanted to know what was up with them and I was letting them know.

Where did I say mods were evil? Why is it so hard for people here to have a conversation without claiming other people said things they didn’t?
- Comment on Why do .ml users get a bad rep? 5 weeks ago:
Thanks! It says I broke rule 1: “No bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia.” However I don’t see where I did that. Re-reading all the comments I don’t say anything like any of those.
If someone sees where I did it I will admit that I was wrong. I’m not above admitting I’m wrong, but I don’t see it.

My name is the same there, you can look. I did not use any slur in the thread I was banned in. I previously had said something was retarded in another thread and they got hot an bothered but that was not in that thread. The only name I called someone was a fascist after he called me a fascist.

My ban has been lifted now. Are you able to tell me how to find the modlog? I’d like to see what they actually banned me for. There was a point where I said I thought Russia should be broken up and given to it’s neighbors and they started responding by claiming I wanted nuclear war and posting pictures of Hitler. It was pretty over the top. I am wondering if that was what got me the ban. When I log in to my ml account I can’t find anything, no message or anything, that says what the ban was for.
- Comment on Why do .ml users get a bad rep? 5 weeks ago:
So what, I get banned on any other ml and need to make another account? What does that benefit me? The conversation went just like it here. Except I was called Hitler. To be fair, after being called Hitler I called someone else Hegseth.

I’m banned so I am on another instance.

I was just banned from there because I said The Invasion into Ukraine is murdering people. They called me a fascist because I kept saying I don’t agree with murdering people.
