On the last camping trip I was on, someone brought a small coffee maker. Absolute genius. If you think that shitty instant coffee is a god-send when the local wildlife wakes you up after 5h of sleep, the imagine that with a real coffee.

I've recently started to throw a mini screwdriver set into my laptop bag. I can even fit a small pocket knife and a bit of soldering tin into its case. Obviously not a good idea for flying, but it has been useful a few times.

I also keep some crappy headphones in that bag. Priceless if someone around you in public transport is being annoying.

One difference is that Egypt and Turkey have a lot of tourism, so they tend to be quite tolerant towards tourists. You don't want to scare off potential customers. The US seems to forget that.

It is more about being able to constantly spy on everyone. Funny how this exact sentence would have labeled one as a conspiracy nut not too long ago.

Constantly online means constant (more or less) analytics, means constant data to throw in the big computer to make you buy more shit or vote for the shit party.

Honestly, if you look at the world and go "ah yes, majority wiccan", idk how to help you. Probably by telling you to stop trolling.

That actually sounds quite sane, except the not willing to use weapons part. I would have assumed that would get one straight to alternative service

So, if you are the hyper-manly chest hair and leather jackets gay, you get drafted?

Signal runs just fine without play services for me. It does drain quite a bit of battery without cloud messaging, but that is to be excepted since it needs to keep its own connection up in that case

What is the ping supposed to be like in mycelial networks? I seem to have congestion issues in mine

I am outside of the US, and I do care. Biggest army and economy and so on. Even if not, I would not want to be associated with, idk, Australian wannabe tyrants either.

Mine told me to take a shower and put on a clean t-shirt. I cannot say he wasn't right :)

But I get what you mean.

I would however argue that the average crow is smarter than the average hacker news commenter.

I would say that that is a legitimate concern of a parent who wants their child to have a "normal" life. Badly worded, of course.

And just like with dehydration, drinking too much water at once will be bad

Yes, but only the social media that paid to be included in the plan in the first place. That just continues monopolies.

It is literally a fork of uBO

This is funny, just yesterday I randomly found phones with built-in VHF/UHF radios on Aliexpress. To be fair, they look super clunky and are very expensive for off-brand Chinese phones ($800+), but they do exist. I wonder who buys them.

Story time!

Some years ago, I had to get up very early for a job. So, to make it easier on me, I bought/built some programmable LED lights and set them to gradually shift from dark red to bright blue-white.

Fast forward some years, and I can comfortably ignore bright sunlight and 50W of white LEDs in my face. I don't even bother to put down the shutters any more. I wake up, semi-consciously acknowledge that it is morning, turn around and continue sleeping.

I have gotten used to coffee and desert. I am officially an old man now.

However, the Italians/French are onto something, an espresso after lunch is great. It gives you half an hour or so of slacking off and then the caffeine kicks in.
