That's some old fashion 'us versus them,' kinda thinking.

How do these lists make you a likely target for scam calls?

You got this!

To verify, yes.

It's against Google Maps' ToS (Terms of Service) however to use its exact coordinates for anything outside of Google Maps. This is mostly to prevent others from using exact information (map or otherwise,) and then compete against them.

Sure thing.

On OpenStreetMap (OSM) there are four main things you can do.

1. Mapping: Trace features like roads, buildings, waterways, and land use from satellite imagery
2. Editing: Update existing map data to reflect changes, such as new roads or buildings.
3. Validation: Check and correct errors in the map data to ensure accuracy and completeness.
4. Tagging: Add detailed information to map features, such as names, types, and other attributes.

All of these can be achieved via OSM's web app.

Here is the Beginners' guide if you want more info.

I'd be willing to answer your questions if you had any. And I'm sure others that map edit for OSM would be willing to do the same.

That's really cool. How did you get started as a volunteer EMT?

I know that this might present a feeling of trolling or annoyance, but I take my hat off to Cart Narcs for taking it even further, to call out these people.

Oh heck yeah! Help fellow editor. =)

Come join us if you haven't. Even if you only have 10-15 minutes to do something, it all helps in the end. There are plenty of things to do and no pressure for you to do all of them or even most of them.

Can we just move on from the US 2024 election?

Yeah sure. Just find someone who can put me in a medical coma, and I'll 'forget' all about it.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Vladimir Putin’s armies weren’t occupying large swaths of Eastern Europe by the end of this term.

And Russia will use, what? Tanks from the Cold War?! There have been many reports from professional defense intel groups and countries that report that Russia has been struggling to keep fighting the invasion of Ukraine. They've had to resort to asking North Korea to send thousands of troops to fight in Ukraine. With the weapons that the EU, Australia, Britain, and the US have been sending them, Russia is going to have a tremendously difficult time fighting back. Let alone, invading another country.

There's a theory going around that China might take action and 'take back' what they claim to have been their territory from the early 1800s. Either they capture Serbia as a whole, southern Serbia, or a large portion of Eastern Russia. Which might look like the northern point of Lake Baikal to Uda Gulf or the push further and take Taul Bay. The southern part of the Kamchatka peninsula would be advantageous to them. The US and others would have a harder time "controlling" China's fleet of ships if they had ports and bases up there as well.

I can only hold onto fool's faith for so long, that the world doesn't experience another major war.

I hope you're right.

Sexism and it makes it seem like it's just one person vs a group of people. By that I mean, that your family is a group of people.

As if the majority had a fucking choice.

And move where?!

That's cool. But I'm never buying a Blizzard game ever again.

I'm all for this.
