Last Notes npub1h7gu4wnvd6lw2sqfqkfshvtcssfdl7mljxxd72vt00q9kf8pvcvqfpcgd4 Joe @nprofile…07t5 From one framer to another, dynamite frame job! That's how to make one incredible piece of art jump off the wall. npub1h7gu4wnvd6lw2sqfqkfshvtcssfdl7mljxxd72vt00q9kf8pvcvqfpcgd4 Joe @nprofile…wjfe I've gotten several notifications from my personal data protection service that my SS# and other personal data is for sale on the dark web. The dates correspond to shortly after the Dunning-Krueger kids got into SS data. They are minting money. npub1h7gu4wnvd6lw2sqfqkfshvtcssfdl7mljxxd72vt00q9kf8pvcvqfpcgd4 Joe @nprofile…4yw8 Oh that's all we need. A constitutional convention could rewrite the constitution. It also could put many of the current laws into question and create chaos. This has been a goal of the GOP for decades now. npub1h7gu4wnvd6lw2sqfqkfshvtcssfdl7mljxxd72vt00q9kf8pvcvqfpcgd4 Joe @nprofile…6urt This is why ER staff find "The Pitt" to be so realistic I guess. I haven't been in an ER in a very long time, but in cities they seem to be mini war zones. npub1h7gu4wnvd6lw2sqfqkfshvtcssfdl7mljxxd72vt00q9kf8pvcvqfpcgd4 Joe @nprofile…tk9u Wolf Spider, one of the best to take out bugs around the house. The are also not terribly dangerous to humans. Usually they'll run away, but if they do bite it hurts and will be like other insect bites in most people. Basically leave it alone and it'll leave you alone. npub1h7gu4wnvd6lw2sqfqkfshvtcssfdl7mljxxd72vt00q9kf8pvcvqfpcgd4 Joe @nprofile…wjfe One thing they don't mention are the near constant flight of fighter jets while Air Force One is on the ground in a non-military base. We lived 35 miles by air from Mary Loco and there were jets in the air randomly flying over our area as they swept the airspace. Those cost $8-10K per hour. npub1h7gu4wnvd6lw2sqfqkfshvtcssfdl7mljxxd72vt00q9kf8pvcvqfpcgd4 Joe @nprofile…wjfe Good thing to announce publicly so the Russians know they can plant spies. npub1h7gu4wnvd6lw2sqfqkfshvtcssfdl7mljxxd72vt00q9kf8pvcvqfpcgd4 Joe Sometimes my wife thinks I make snap decisions on a purchase. For example, we have a large electric water heater. Those are expensive to run, and they have a tank, thus wasting electricity and keeping water hot if we want it. Anyway, I'm looking at instantaneous heaters and researching the alternatives. I'll spend many hours doing this. Then I'll bring it up. I'll have multiple alternatives established. It's not a snap decision, rather well thought out and researched. npub1h7gu4wnvd6lw2sqfqkfshvtcssfdl7mljxxd72vt00q9kf8pvcvqfpcgd4 Joe @nprofile…60mt A friend had this crop up suddenly and it turned out to be a medication that made them more sensitive. They always burned very easily, but the rash was a new reaction. Change in meds reduced it after a few weeks. Just a thought. npub1h7gu4wnvd6lw2sqfqkfshvtcssfdl7mljxxd72vt00q9kf8pvcvqfpcgd4 Joe @nprofile…lwgl I said this yesterday in a different way. npub1h7gu4wnvd6lw2sqfqkfshvtcssfdl7mljxxd72vt00q9kf8pvcvqfpcgd4 Joe @nprofile…x759 Well, that you brought it up, it is one of those things that I can never get quite straight in my mind. I'll often use less when fewer is the proper word, it just "feels" right based on what came before, even if it is incorrect. npub1h7gu4wnvd6lw2sqfqkfshvtcssfdl7mljxxd72vt00q9kf8pvcvqfpcgd4 Joe @nprofile…x759 It's an odd distinction in that one is typing, therefore it is effort, so typing less than three letters is correct, but fewer than three letters are required is correct. So in the context of typing, less than is correct, right? npub1h7gu4wnvd6lw2sqfqkfshvtcssfdl7mljxxd72vt00q9kf8pvcvqfpcgd4 Joe @nprofile…wjfe I have no idea what data sits in the payment system database, but it is enough for the government to pay my SS, Medicare, taxes, and that's far more than I've had leaked any time in the past several leaks my data has been lost to hackers. And Musk and co didn't even have to hack in to get it; they were given the keys. npub1h7gu4wnvd6lw2sqfqkfshvtcssfdl7mljxxd72vt00q9kf8pvcvqfpcgd4 Joe Hey #ActuallyAutistic folks. Many of us know @nprofile…7wsp with her terrific site https://shop.autisticinnovator.com/ npub1h7gu4wnvd6lw2sqfqkfshvtcssfdl7mljxxd72vt00q9kf8pvcvqfpcgd4 Joe @nprofile…hpxz npub1h7gu4wnvd6lw2sqfqkfshvtcssfdl7mljxxd72vt00q9kf8pvcvqfpcgd4 Joe @nprofile…hpxz Here is the video that this screenshot is taken from. Just after the 4:30 mark, you'll find her moving her arm in a gesture. That gesture is *NOT* the Nazi salute. What Elon Musk did was a near-perfect mimic of Adolf Hitler's salute. npub1h7gu4wnvd6lw2sqfqkfshvtcssfdl7mljxxd72vt00q9kf8pvcvqfpcgd4 Joe @nprofile…2ryr And in 2017 he was calling for a ban. However, that was before it helped him with his spread of propaganda. It's an important cog in the disinformation machine. npub1h7gu4wnvd6lw2sqfqkfshvtcssfdl7mljxxd72vt00q9kf8pvcvqfpcgd4 Joe @nprofile…y3mz Tantrums aren't meltdowns. A meltdown is getting overwhelmed and being unable to function in that situation any longer. Mine are generally with me getting up and walking out "in a huff" I'm told that's how it's seen. I have *never* had a traditional tantrum. npub1h7gu4wnvd6lw2sqfqkfshvtcssfdl7mljxxd72vt00q9kf8pvcvqfpcgd4 Joe @nprofile…y3mz Not at all. You are probably just having a quiet and controlled meltdown that you shut down after. If you get overwhelmed, then shut down, that's not uncommon for me. npub1h7gu4wnvd6lw2sqfqkfshvtcssfdl7mljxxd72vt00q9kf8pvcvqfpcgd4 Joe @nprofile…uect We lived in NJ and bread, eggs, and milk were the big items prior to a storm. We always joked that french toast must be a big after storm food. npub1h7gu4wnvd6lw2sqfqkfshvtcssfdl7mljxxd72vt00q9kf8pvcvqfpcgd4 Joe @nprofile…uect Yes, not many winter storms in NC these days. We moved in in Sept. npub1h7gu4wnvd6lw2sqfqkfshvtcssfdl7mljxxd72vt00q9kf8pvcvqfpcgd4 Joe It's been over 11 years since we have had a winter snowstorm where we live. We've been in South #Florida for that time, and now in #NorthCarolina. We have had frigidly cold weather for the past few weeks and now we look at a winter storm running through. npub1h7gu4wnvd6lw2sqfqkfshvtcssfdl7mljxxd72vt00q9kf8pvcvqfpcgd4 Joe @nprofile…m6ae I just made it up. npub1h7gu4wnvd6lw2sqfqkfshvtcssfdl7mljxxd72vt00q9kf8pvcvqfpcgd4 Joe @nprofile…m6ae npub1h7gu4wnvd6lw2sqfqkfshvtcssfdl7mljxxd72vt00q9kf8pvcvqfpcgd4 Joe We have a small collection of crystals. This one I refer to as our portal. Because it reminds me of the #StarTrek Guardian of Forever. npub1h7gu4wnvd6lw2sqfqkfshvtcssfdl7mljxxd72vt00q9kf8pvcvqfpcgd4 Joe Please stop leaving bad reviews on products for reasons that have nothing to do with the product's performance. npub1h7gu4wnvd6lw2sqfqkfshvtcssfdl7mljxxd72vt00q9kf8pvcvqfpcgd4 Joe @nprofile…t37q Our societies have gone insane since the pandemic. npub1h7gu4wnvd6lw2sqfqkfshvtcssfdl7mljxxd72vt00q9kf8pvcvqfpcgd4 Joe @nprofile…naem npub1h7gu4wnvd6lw2sqfqkfshvtcssfdl7mljxxd72vt00q9kf8pvcvqfpcgd4 Joe @nprofile…uhjq Yes! Saying that to an NT makes it sound weird to them, but to us, it is perfectly logical and consistent. npub1h7gu4wnvd6lw2sqfqkfshvtcssfdl7mljxxd72vt00q9kf8pvcvqfpcgd4 Joe @nprofile…uhjq It's such an odd preoccupation. We have veggie sausage each Sunday and I move the sausage away from ketchup I put on the plate, then take pieces and dip them to eat. 🤷🏽♂️ npub1h7gu4wnvd6lw2sqfqkfshvtcssfdl7mljxxd72vt00q9kf8pvcvqfpcgd4 Joe Today is the day three years ago I started my #Sober journey. #Alcohol no longer drives my decisions. It was only difficult for me for about two weeks. I had an easier time than most. npub1h7gu4wnvd6lw2sqfqkfshvtcssfdl7mljxxd72vt00q9kf8pvcvqfpcgd4 Joe Does anyone remember the programming language Trilogy? It was created by a Canadian company by a professor of CS. #RetroComputing npub1h7gu4wnvd6lw2sqfqkfshvtcssfdl7mljxxd72vt00q9kf8pvcvqfpcgd4 Joe @nprofile…5zd4 npub1h7gu4wnvd6lw2sqfqkfshvtcssfdl7mljxxd72vt00q9kf8pvcvqfpcgd4 Joe @nprofile…uhjq R-Jr. is insane. I'm not sure if his thinking is that rational. It might be, and if it is, that sounds like a reasonable explanation. But I don't think it's so. He's just nuts. npub1h7gu4wnvd6lw2sqfqkfshvtcssfdl7mljxxd72vt00q9kf8pvcvqfpcgd4 Joe @nprofile…uhjq This is why I rip my own off my CDs. npub1h7gu4wnvd6lw2sqfqkfshvtcssfdl7mljxxd72vt00q9kf8pvcvqfpcgd4 Joe It looks like the entire #Meta universe is down right now. Instagram, Whatsapp, and Facebook. npub1h7gu4wnvd6lw2sqfqkfshvtcssfdl7mljxxd72vt00q9kf8pvcvqfpcgd4 Joe @nprofile…taps Out of pocket maximum is about $18K with Obamacare. That's a lot of money, but shouldn't be 20 years of life savings. Perhaps it was. npub1h7gu4wnvd6lw2sqfqkfshvtcssfdl7mljxxd72vt00q9kf8pvcvqfpcgd4 Joe @nprofile…uhjq When I was a kid, there were just three networks, thus three shows to choose from at any given moment. The quality of the image was also terrible. No cable TV, it was all over the air, all at the moment, no VCRs. Commercials were tolerably short and a series started in fall and ended at the start of summer. A season was about 35 episodes. Today 8-10 all released in a day. I really enjoy the internet, but hate what it's done to our societies. npub1h7gu4wnvd6lw2sqfqkfshvtcssfdl7mljxxd72vt00q9kf8pvcvqfpcgd4 Joe @nprofile…kyj5 Yesterday we saw five jets' contrails forming in a pattern in the sky. It was so unusual everyone in the parking lot was looking up at the sight. I found no news about something special happening, but it was unusual. npub1h7gu4wnvd6lw2sqfqkfshvtcssfdl7mljxxd72vt00q9kf8pvcvqfpcgd4 Joe @nprofile…plfp Ah yes BBS's and download sites. Chock filled with code snippets and semi-functional programs. How many times did you forget to change a download to binary just to find a 45 minute download was garbage? npub1h7gu4wnvd6lw2sqfqkfshvtcssfdl7mljxxd72vt00q9kf8pvcvqfpcgd4 Joe @nprofile…y54t I had that happen to me only years ago on Amazon. I got a foosball table that had horrid assembly instructions. I wrote new ones and posted them. Apparently, the company took those, put them into their product, and then complained to Amazon that I published their copyrighted material. My instructions were removed. I spent over an hour putting those detailed instructions together and they not only stole them, but said I violated their copyright. I can't imagine how you feel. GRRR. npub1h7gu4wnvd6lw2sqfqkfshvtcssfdl7mljxxd72vt00q9kf8pvcvqfpcgd4 Joe @nprofile…ucc3 Ah yes, a whispered hint while writing. Tuck it away for later. Nice. @nprofile…yhr2 npub1h7gu4wnvd6lw2sqfqkfshvtcssfdl7mljxxd72vt00q9kf8pvcvqfpcgd4 Joe @nprofile…ucc3 Song Trees is one of the best stories I've ever read. I "promote" it every chance I get. @nprofile…yhr2 npub1h7gu4wnvd6lw2sqfqkfshvtcssfdl7mljxxd72vt00q9kf8pvcvqfpcgd4 Joe @nprofile…yhr2 npub1h7gu4wnvd6lw2sqfqkfshvtcssfdl7mljxxd72vt00q9kf8pvcvqfpcgd4 Joe @nprofile…g4hh Yeah, I don't need the cancelation of the Sony's and wanted the better sound. People also claim the Sony's are more comfortable. npub1h7gu4wnvd6lw2sqfqkfshvtcssfdl7mljxxd72vt00q9kf8pvcvqfpcgd4 Joe @nprofile…g4hh I have the Sennheiser Momentum 4 headphones. They double as a phone headset. They cancel noise well. The winners, I hear, are the Sony WH1000XM5 headset. But the Sennheisers have better sound and are just a tiny step down on noise canceling. npub1h7gu4wnvd6lw2sqfqkfshvtcssfdl7mljxxd72vt00q9kf8pvcvqfpcgd4 Joe @nprofile…uhjq The turnout of our team was lacking. We failed the assignment. npub1h7gu4wnvd6lw2sqfqkfshvtcssfdl7mljxxd72vt00q9kf8pvcvqfpcgd4 Joe @nprofile…kvnh This is *slightly* off topic, but uBlock Origin is a browser extension that will make you wish you had it two years ago. Almost no site sees it as an ad blocker, but it effectively blocks almost all ads, all this nonsense. I went to FB for the first time in a long time and saw nothing. My timeline was indeed blank. That's how bad FB has gotten, no ads, you see nothing then old man. npub1h7gu4wnvd6lw2sqfqkfshvtcssfdl7mljxxd72vt00q9kf8pvcvqfpcgd4 Joe @nprofile…uhjq That group, is loud, but a minority. The reason he got elected is inflation. People were mad as hell about pricing going up. That hadn't happened since the 1980s so most people never experienced it. They blamed the Biden administration. This is a world-wide phenomenon, it'll quiet down. We must not give up hope. npub1h7gu4wnvd6lw2sqfqkfshvtcssfdl7mljxxd72vt00q9kf8pvcvqfpcgd4 Joe @nprofile…uhjq We might have. But as long as we are alive we can fight back. Prices will jump with tariffs and that will cause a uproar. npub1h7gu4wnvd6lw2sqfqkfshvtcssfdl7mljxxd72vt00q9kf8pvcvqfpcgd4 Joe @nprofile…uhjq It's always been this way. The manifestation of it so out in the open hasn't occurred since German's 30s, the US's 1950s, and So. Africa's 1980s to name a few. npub1h7gu4wnvd6lw2sqfqkfshvtcssfdl7mljxxd72vt00q9kf8pvcvqfpcgd4 Joe @npub1k74…dmux I love that feeling. npub1h7gu4wnvd6lw2sqfqkfshvtcssfdl7mljxxd72vt00q9kf8pvcvqfpcgd4 Joe https://s3.eu-central-2.wasabisys.com/mastodonworld/media_attachments/files/112/672/397/612/629/926/original/fa97d746e9272ca9.png npub1h7gu4wnvd6lw2sqfqkfshvtcssfdl7mljxxd72vt00q9kf8pvcvqfpcgd4 Joe @npub1h8s…cvp3 As with any good journalism, accepting and correcting mistakes is part of getting it right. Nothing is 100% perfect. npub1h7gu4wnvd6lw2sqfqkfshvtcssfdl7mljxxd72vt00q9kf8pvcvqfpcgd4 Joe @npub1h8s…cvp3 npub1h7gu4wnvd6lw2sqfqkfshvtcssfdl7mljxxd72vt00q9kf8pvcvqfpcgd4 Joe @npub1kkp…5sfx OK, completely unexpected and I had forgotten what I was reading until the end. Well done. npub1h7gu4wnvd6lw2sqfqkfshvtcssfdl7mljxxd72vt00q9kf8pvcvqfpcgd4 Joe @npub1k74…dmux You are welcome, it's one of my favorites, could be top 10. I have to let some time go by so I can read it again. npub1h7gu4wnvd6lw2sqfqkfshvtcssfdl7mljxxd72vt00q9kf8pvcvqfpcgd4 Joe @npub1k74…dmux This is a wonderful story. Do yourself a favor and read it. #bookstodon npub1h7gu4wnvd6lw2sqfqkfshvtcssfdl7mljxxd72vt00q9kf8pvcvqfpcgd4 Joe @npub1k74…dmux While drafting. npub1h7gu4wnvd6lw2sqfqkfshvtcssfdl7mljxxd72vt00q9kf8pvcvqfpcgd4 Joe @npub1k74…dmux When I am into story creation, I live it and other things don't exist. npub1h7gu4wnvd6lw2sqfqkfshvtcssfdl7mljxxd72vt00q9kf8pvcvqfpcgd4 Joe I don't know if other #ActuallyAutistic folks experience this, but I can have 100 successes and 1 minor setback, and the setback will fill my day with dread and cause me to want to withdraw.
