I am owned by several dogs and cats. I have been playing non-computer roleplaying games for almost five decades. I am interested in all kinds of gadgets, particularly multitools, knives, flashlights, and pens.
Unfortunately, our cat who would snuggle with him passed away last year. Our remaining cat almost never lets him that close. (We will get him a kitten before too long.)
Meanwhile, he makes do with his humans and his stuffed koala.
If anyone in the house, including the other animals, is feeling down, Denali will bring them his koala and sit it up against them. He wants everyone to be happy.
They’re a beautiful pair!
Our husky mix is also incredibly fond of cats.
I’m not sure why either. He didn’t even say those things can’t exist. He just said there is no clear evidence for them yet, which is true enough.
I find Hancock entertaining, and he may even be right, but don’t find any of his evidence sufficient to support the claims he is making. That could always change, in either direction. It is fun watching new evidence emerge.
What’s weirding me out is that I know at least two-thirds of those from the original. And I was only aware of maybe half of the more recent covers.
I am old.
I want a system where you can define duress biometrics. For example, right middle finger and left thumb open the phone. Right forefinger locks the phone and disables further use of biometrics.
I hope you appreciate your good fortune.
I don’t see anything unusual here.
Trump has always been happy to throw underlings under the bus. Nothing will change until Trump and those directly under him are replaced.
I think the hardware continues to improve. Unfortunately, Android hit its peak around then and Google has been systematically crippling it ever since. They stopped allowing users control of their own devices. All of the customization and automation utilities that used to make it great have been shut down or limited to the point where they are not longer really useful. But Google is making more money, so I guess that’s all okay.
I’m not sure Google has made a single good decision in the last decade.
I think you’re doing the right things. I am commenting because your dog looks so much like our Denali.
He is half Siberian Husky, quarter German Shepherd, and quarter Akita. It always amazes me that dogs with very different breed mixes can end up looking so similar.
It sounds like they have some other traits in common. Denali is very smart and can open almost any latch. Fortunately for us, he likes his crate. One day, when my wife was struggling to close one of the latches, he closed it for her with his tongue, just to be helpful. If he wanted to open it he would open it.
I’ve had several dogs that were very independent (including Denali) and they can be a real challenge. My only suggestion is to reach out to your vet, if you haven’t already. They often have good suggestions about behavioral issues.
I wish you all the best!
As the previous responder said, the mesh itself is unlikely to reach that far. MQTT can bridge larger gaps like that, but it depends on the internet. At that point, it probably makes more sense to just use conventional internet methods to communicate.
Sam Altman is the face of AI, and it is certainly punchable.
I have a husky mix (with German Shepherd and Akita). He is willing to give the cat some personal space, but has not extended that privilege to the humans of the house.
I’ve played various instruments over the years, but guitar is the only one I still pick up sometimes. I am basically an advanced beginner.
Meanwhile, I have recently taken up the recorder, tin whistle, and ocarina. I’m very much a beginner, but having a blast. My wife and a friend are also learning. We’re working on various baroque and early classical pieces.
I would be happy to watch a Wedge Antilles movie. It would almost have to be better than what they’ve been doing with the core movies.
I used Lemmy for a few years, but switched to PieFed recently. They offer very similar functionality. PieFed suits me slightly better. I would be happy with either. And I’m still using Voyager.
We were fortunate to have a producer/director who felt strongly about safety and was willing to spend the extra time necessary. A lot of the time, especially for productions that are running on a shoestring, everyone is pushed very hard to reduce the time and cost to an absolute minimum. The low pay selects for inexperienced armorers and the time constraints means that the armorer is constantly being pressured not to “waste” any time. An armorer who is believed to have “slowed down” a production may be fired and will have trouble finding more work. That is what happens everywhere when money is more important than people.
You’re right, but a lot of apps work the same way, and only serve ads to unpaid users. I’m hoping for the best.
I, and several others, have been very happy with the “Ultimate Solar Radio Node” that is available from PeakMesh on Etsy. It runs around $130 and it works perfectly. Ours has now been up for most of a year and has not required any attention at all.
There are also plenty of options for building your own. I found that doing it myself the way I wanted to wasn’t going to save me all that much money. Being lazy, I bought one off-the-shelf.
