I am moving to a blue state as soon as possible. Work already lined up, working on housing and arrangements for my animals. It's not safe here.

They say that, but when Ken Paxton subpoenas them they will say they have no choice. It would be better to use an app that doesn't store this data server side at all.

It's the sound of snow squeak-crunching under my feet for me. I shudder every time it happens.

Main-lining high grade depression. It's my go-to threat when someone tells me they think anime is 'too silly' to watch.

I really, really dislike social situations that don't have formal structure to them. Professionally I can talk to strangers no problem, because roles and expectations are set, similarly I can go to a tabletop gaming convention and play games with people and it's fine.

I struggle in situations where the rules are more nebulous, but I still manage it. It just takes practice. I definitely lean on my husband for that type of thing when I can though.

What is really annoying is that there are a lot of really good data modeling applications, they are just in research areas. Generative AI is absolutely a waste of resources, but a ton of money and energy is spent on that instead of on the applications that are actually bearing fruit.

You can set it yourself but it then verifies your address is real using Bing maps and the database is really lacking. If it doesn't find an entry it won't let you enter it. I am told this will be moving to Azure maps soon which I hope is better.

Anyway we are leveraging manual network entries tofind phones at our locations using the WAP bssid or, for ethernet, LLDP but the latter isn't working. I can show LLDP coming in on a pcap but Teams doesn't see it - another ticket for Microsoft.

I am in the middle of trying to get e911 functional for Teams direct route calls, based of lis data, my Teams can't correctly determine the state I am in, much less my current address. It took multiple tickets to get our corporate headquarters to show up correctly instead of an address a half-mile away.

I forsee getting a lot of tickets from this feature.

I live in a major city

• To the nearest convenience store: 500m
• To the nearest chain supermarket: 2.7km
• To the bus stop: 400m
• To the nearest park: 1.4km
• To the nearest big supermarket: 2.7km (same one as above)
• To the nearest library: 3km
• To the nearest train station (light rail): 5.6km

Yeah, I've read the whisker fatigue thing, I've read that it's probably not true also, but my cat bowls are wide anyway. The cat is just nuts. Like in general. Like she may actually have mental illness. The colony I got her from has produced a lot of cats with congenital issues. I have one with a vsd and another with testicular agenesis (which is apparently extremely rare).

I have a cat with a heart condition who sleeps in the middle of the floor with his eyes open. He is all black too so you can't see if he's breathing. It's gotten me just so many times.

Another cat doesn't eat directly from the bowl, instead she sits next to the bowl and spears food on her claws and licks it off like it's a fork.

The gate here is really cool, I remember from my optical classes all the different ways to encode bits on a photon over fiber, I am curious which properties are more and less suitable for this application.
