  Cool, does it run on a Galaxy Xcover6 Pro with a Verizon plan? I bet it doesn’t, nothing does besides the big-2 OS’s it seems.

  I always liked using this on the premise of privacy-through-obfuscation. If the powers that be must get information from me, then i’d prefer to give them garbage information.

  1 point. I’ve never sent a postcard… I bought one with a shifting hologram on the front for the purposes of sending a Thank-You note. I just never got around to sending it.

  Does anyone know where it is that we can find these new commands? I have an esp32 dev kit just a few feet away from me as i read this. It might be interesting to know what these new product “features” are.

  “Amazon bought Barnes&Noble ages ago;”

  I think you’re thinking of Borders, Barnes & Noble’s long bankrupt competitor. Barnes & Noble got bought by a private buyer from the UK a few years ago when they started circling the drain. I wouldn’t recommend the Nook ereading platform, though. I’ve had three of the products since they first launched, and they are buggy. -Add to that the supporting the ereading platform has never been a high priority especially when the company was struggling, and their free ebook selection went from low-quality, low-selection to nonexistant.

  Long story short I’ve been considering a Kobo ereader as my next ereader over another nook product for a while now.

  “…Do people seriously buy something every week from Amazon? That’s like addiction shit.”

  Yes. I have one family member with an amazon affiliated credit card and when it’s combined with prime… Anyways, multiple family members use that account to make orders from. This includes ordering cases of softdrinks ever 2-3 weeks.

  “Afterglow” - That’s a term I’ve been searching for, for the past 4-1/2 years now. I’ve been trying trying to describe the day after a mushroom trip. Thanks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Brother accused of locking down third-party printer ink cartridges via forced firmware updates, removing older firmware versions from support portals⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve have had this thought too and the only reason I can think of is that the inkjet printers are sold at such a rediculous loss, that anything that could be sold next to them without the offset price from ink would seem like a bad joke.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Designed by men, for men: Why sex with robots does not have appeal among women⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think you hit the nail on the head about the power-dynamic and pretense. Regardless, I hope you at least keep talking about it to people who would try not to judge. Sitting and dwelling on that kind of trauma, or even ignoring it can cause all sorts of problems.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Designed by men, for men: Why sex with robots does not have appeal among women⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I didn’t want to make assumptions on your initial comment as i didn’t know if you were referring to yourself as a full-service sex worker or were using the term under the more general definition applied to strippers, adult film stars, and cam-models, etc. I’ve never hired a hooker, before but visiting Pahrump Nevada, or the red light district of the Netherlands is still on my bucket list.

  -That said, having your own personal choice and control over the situation taken away either by guys trying to “stealth” you or to take advantage of a desperate situations at the potential expense of your health is an awful thing to do to someone else. I can only speculate as to what each of your clients wanted that they couldn’t get from a toy. If i’m asked to return to your earlier question of what’s the difference between a human sex worker and a robot, I guess I’d respond by asking what’s the difference between non-sex worker and a robot?

  While the work may not be 1:1 to you I can say with regards to strippers there’s still a kind of nonemotional intimacy, and the workers get to express their personalities which made things fun. I don’t know if you got a chance to do any of that or not.

  –Are you able to seek counseling for this? Regardless of what I’ve said, that’s some pretty heavy trauma you seem to be trying to make sense of. It could be beneficial to work through it with someone that has more formal training and a deeper knowledge for learning how to cope with these kind of things.

  “what’s the appeal?”

  Of a sex worker or a robot?

  basically it boils down to human contact versus a toy in this case. Did you never ask a client/partner/audience member? I assume reasons may vary. I personally think the nature of the (business) relationship to be low-pressure and relatively straight-forward --That is if we are to contrast it with the dating experience for the average man. Not everybody is relationship material, regardless.

  I’d prefer a real hooker.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨They're called leaves for a reason.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I deal with 3 massive city-owned (and admittedly beautiful) removedapin oaks and two privately owned red maples on a 1/3 acre lot. If the leaves don’t get removed then everything dies as a result of the acidity and thick leaf cover that wont fully decay before the next autumn. There is no room for a compost pile of that size considering that the leaves couldnt make up more than half of it. I’m not a fan of grass lawns but the city and the HOA have to give the ‘okay’ before a lawn change can be made.
