Bell telephone. AT&T was one of the resulting companies.

Writing is a passive system for conveying information. It requires active effort by the target. If the target does not want to engage with the information, there is nothing forcing them to unless you add additional systems external to the information.

Don’t block his driveway.

Peak ‘pulling the ladder up behind him.’

I tried getting help. Rejected by 3 therapists because I was not their target demographic, another called me three times after reading my ‘here’s why I’m seeking therapy’ notes to make sure I wasn’t a threat to myself or others before backing out, and the therapist I did end up seeing thought it would be a good idea to double bill the guy with ‘paranoia’ as one of his listed items. Didn’t walk the charges back until I stopped payment and appointments ‘until this is resolved.’ …and yes, I realize I may be the problem, that is part of the reason I sought therapy… But at this point, there are no non-‘christian councilor’ therapists for males with ADHD in my area that my insurance will pay for.

Have you heard the tragedy of pumping lemma? Have you heard the tragedy of the tragedy of pumping lemma? Have you heard the tragedy of the tragedy of the tragedy of pumping lemma?

Bun, brat, mustard, sourkraut. If there is a pack of malt vinegar in the drawer, that too.

We could all collectively decide not to play the damn song. There are others.

Resontite doesn’t require a headset. It runs in desktop just as well… You just don’t get body tracking.

Meta isn’t the only VR space. Resontite VR plays like VR chat meets Gary’s mod, and supports most equipment you can hook up. It is not perfect but there are frequent updates trying to address the issues, same as any platform.

Release the hypnodrones!

Sometimes I can get the weather forecast on The Weather Channel.

Model trainers used to be 2 wires to the track from a DC transformer. Add in a switchboard if you want blocks. Set the locomotive on the track and it would run based on your output from the transformer.

Now they are mostly computerized, and prohibitively expensive. A decent steam locomotive used to be $300-500… Now in the $700 range. Granted there is new functionality, but it feels like a hobby simple enough for a 7-12 year old to enjoy became an old rich man’s hobby.

But muh sports complex! Duh church of football! Duh big game is all that matters in life! Day gon gib me a scholarship.

My dodge will engine brake if I use the cruise control. Down near the bottom (or far side) of your shifter you should have a low gear that isn’t first. You can shift into it under 50 and let off the gas, your car should slow down. Test it’s rpm range on some flat ground first by accelerating to around 50… On the mountain is not where you want to first try it.

At minimum, shift out of overdrive into regular drive.

What is the media’s obsession with cooling towers? Anything nuclear, cooling tower. Chemical company? Cooling tower.

Odds are the parrot outlives both and is less of an asshole.
