Interesting story. It sounds like it’s tough to be part of the indigenous population, and also tough to be a woman there.

Nice to see them persevering through all of that.

I used to tape maps to the gas tank of my motorcycle on trips.

Then mapquest became useful and I taped printed directions. Made it a lot easier.

Then I got a Garmin waterproof, handlebar mounted GPS and it was glorious, though you had to buy map updates every couple years.

Eventually phones were actually able to be used for directions and I kept a phone connected to a homemade battery pack in my jacket pocket, with an earbud under my helmet, so I just listened to directions and music.

Finally got a phone connected to a handlebar mount, plugged into the bike power, with a Bluetooth headset built into the helmet. Probably the least safe of the options, but I can listen to podcasts, audiobooks, music and see the maps while it directs me with audio, just like a car display would.

That looks exactly like how my dad sends email.

Yeah, it’s crazy you never see bonobos at the grocery store!

Those are all good counterpoints.

It does show how dystopian Star Trek kinda is tho. Nobody consumes any media composed after around 1900.

Apparently copyright destroyed art and it’s no longer able to be created, except what was already in the public domain starting around 1960’s.

That’s what lethal injection is for. But they can’t get legitimate doctors to perform an execution, so they have to just wing it with hacks, which is why they often get fucked up.

At least a firing squad is full of people who know how to shoot.

Because enough of the members were duped by trump and the leadership is too much of a coward to even try to educate them.

2000 was a leap year. Source: I was there.

The math on the 400 thing is the other way around.

SagA* is as good as any other galactic center for intergalactic north too. There’s really no reason to pick a different one.

SagA*

It’s as good a place as any other.

trump’s staff stopped mentioning robinson for two days, and trump forgot all about him.

Sure, go ahead and try to execute the VP, overturn election results, completely stonewall judicial appointments, but actually calling out a traitor is a bridge too far.

No joke, that was the first hint.

SMS is fine for 2FA, as long as you can’t use it for anything else, like a password reset.

Once the SMS is used for account recovery, it’s now 1FA with a terrible security hole.

If you have complex, single use passwords, and have SMS 2FA, then it’s pretty ok. Not the best security, but at least better than a most.

Obviously offline time based passkeys are better for the 2FA, but typically the real problem is how to get into an account if you’ve lost one part of your login.

CNN should be a town hall if trump doesn’t show. Make it happen with or without him.

Purchase a tool and self host. You can’t un-leak data no matter how much money you get.

You are in charge of internal policies and can enforce them.

Join an activity together.

Bowling, darts, a gym, blacksmithing, whatever.

Get friends that aren’t just the two of you.

If she feels like you are her only social outlet, then you’re both going to be miserable. I’m sure you’d benefit from having another social group as well.

Maybe she needs a part time job just to be around people. Maybe a hobby shop like JoAnn or Michaels.

If you are a corporation of that size, you shouldn’t be putting all of your critical communication on someone else’s servers.
