Last Notes npub1y9vah6yqyp7hkwnp53jzf52tdsphchewxpylyexdaz6xccc38ltsu8qekx Jeff Horton :canada: Nap time. Too bad they wouldn't let me join. npub1y9vah6yqyp7hkwnp53jzf52tdsphchewxpylyexdaz6xccc38ltsu8qekx Jeff Horton :canada: Hey Alberta, this you? npub1y9vah6yqyp7hkwnp53jzf52tdsphchewxpylyexdaz6xccc38ltsu8qekx Jeff Horton :canada: My co-worker this morning.... npub1y9vah6yqyp7hkwnp53jzf52tdsphchewxpylyexdaz6xccc38ltsu8qekx Jeff Horton :canada: @nprofile…tjca https://health.clevelandclinic.org/box-breathing-benefits npub1y9vah6yqyp7hkwnp53jzf52tdsphchewxpylyexdaz6xccc38ltsu8qekx Jeff Horton :canada: @nprofile…tjca for mine before the drugs worked I did box breathing and tried leg elevation to lower overall pressure. npub1y9vah6yqyp7hkwnp53jzf52tdsphchewxpylyexdaz6xccc38ltsu8qekx Jeff Horton :canada: Deirdre has a great analysis yet again. npub1y9vah6yqyp7hkwnp53jzf52tdsphchewxpylyexdaz6xccc38ltsu8qekx Jeff Horton :canada: Also #Canada you should read this too. npub1y9vah6yqyp7hkwnp53jzf52tdsphchewxpylyexdaz6xccc38ltsu8qekx Jeff Horton :canada: @nprofile…qhpc @nprofile…s67t I have this in my bookmarks too https://garagehq.deuxfleurs.fr/ npub1y9vah6yqyp7hkwnp53jzf52tdsphchewxpylyexdaz6xccc38ltsu8qekx Jeff Horton :canada: I'm listening in on a session with a sales ai consultant firm and every 3rd sentence I just want to vomit. npub1y9vah6yqyp7hkwnp53jzf52tdsphchewxpylyexdaz6xccc38ltsu8qekx Jeff Horton :canada: Proposed new rule for Canadian MP's then. You don't get paid unless you are in the house and the doors are closed. npub1y9vah6yqyp7hkwnp53jzf52tdsphchewxpylyexdaz6xccc38ltsu8qekx Jeff Horton :canada: Wait, who else got rid of voting machines to keep her rabid base happy? Oh right, Danielle Smith and the United Clown Party. npub1y9vah6yqyp7hkwnp53jzf52tdsphchewxpylyexdaz6xccc38ltsu8qekx Jeff Horton :canada: I outlived AOL dial-up, I can outlive Facebook and Google and the rest of them too! npub1y9vah6yqyp7hkwnp53jzf52tdsphchewxpylyexdaz6xccc38ltsu8qekx Jeff Horton :canada: When Canadian Conservatives talk about de-funding the CBC it is exactly the same reasons Trump went after CPB. Fascism is scared of critics, is scared of analysis, is scared of exposing the reality of their brutality and cruelty. npub1y9vah6yqyp7hkwnp53jzf52tdsphchewxpylyexdaz6xccc38ltsu8qekx Jeff Horton :canada: @nprofile…dc6s ah, conspiracy hat says this is a global psy-ops ploy by the EU to convince all of us our local governments are dangerous and we should switch to them. npub1y9vah6yqyp7hkwnp53jzf52tdsphchewxpylyexdaz6xccc38ltsu8qekx Jeff Horton :canada: And here we have Mark Carney in your bedroom hoping to trade your info for political points. npub1y9vah6yqyp7hkwnp53jzf52tdsphchewxpylyexdaz6xccc38ltsu8qekx Jeff Horton :canada: @nprofile…6t6n Maybe https://www.sync.com/ in Canada. npub1y9vah6yqyp7hkwnp53jzf52tdsphchewxpylyexdaz6xccc38ltsu8qekx Jeff Horton :canada: Hey tech friends. I'm wondering about alternatives to stripe, specifically to stripe connect for split payouts. Anybody have any opinions about these European alternatives? https://european-alternatives.eu/alternative-to/stripe npub1y9vah6yqyp7hkwnp53jzf52tdsphchewxpylyexdaz6xccc38ltsu8qekx Jeff Horton :canada: So knowing the Alberta Next panels are a clown show on purpose, why did these people sign on? Are they all true supporters of this nonsense? Misguided nice-guys hoping to get close and talk sense into this gov? npub1y9vah6yqyp7hkwnp53jzf52tdsphchewxpylyexdaz6xccc38ltsu8qekx Jeff Horton :canada: Deirdre does a great job describing the Alberta Next Panel clown roadshow so far. npub1y9vah6yqyp7hkwnp53jzf52tdsphchewxpylyexdaz6xccc38ltsu8qekx Jeff Horton :canada: I have a theory that Canada's obsession with shipping raw oil, just like we ship raw grains and pulses and wood simply comes from the fact we never got past being a British colony. npub1y9vah6yqyp7hkwnp53jzf52tdsphchewxpylyexdaz6xccc38ltsu8qekx Jeff Horton :canada: @nprofile…qwx8 This guy and the podcast he does with Jess are great. npub1y9vah6yqyp7hkwnp53jzf52tdsphchewxpylyexdaz6xccc38ltsu8qekx Jeff Horton :canada: As Canada Post makes the news again, this take about the USPS is the way to think about it. npub1y9vah6yqyp7hkwnp53jzf52tdsphchewxpylyexdaz6xccc38ltsu8qekx Jeff Horton :canada: @nprofile…dc6s @nprofile…dhhy The local idiot here, Jason Stephan, is already in the paper as a traitor pushing the hate. npub1y9vah6yqyp7hkwnp53jzf52tdsphchewxpylyexdaz6xccc38ltsu8qekx Jeff Horton :canada: So we are all clear. The folks from treaty 6, 7, 8 have said they aren't leaving Canada and are pretty sure their agreements have more legal rights than a bunch of angry podcast listeners in a referendum. npub1y9vah6yqyp7hkwnp53jzf52tdsphchewxpylyexdaz6xccc38ltsu8qekx Jeff Horton :canada: Would you rather vote now or protest later #canada? Conservatives say and do the same things that Trump and the Republicans say and do. #elbowsup to stop this nonsense before it infects us too. Alberta's UCP shows you the leading edge of how dumb it can be. npub1y9vah6yqyp7hkwnp53jzf52tdsphchewxpylyexdaz6xccc38ltsu8qekx Jeff Horton :canada: Danielle "elbows up" Smith. No dummy, not like that. npub1y9vah6yqyp7hkwnp53jzf52tdsphchewxpylyexdaz6xccc38ltsu8qekx Jeff Horton :canada: Dear Government of Alberta, npub1y9vah6yqyp7hkwnp53jzf52tdsphchewxpylyexdaz6xccc38ltsu8qekx Jeff Horton :canada: Students: "I thought this class was about cloud computing and how useful and cheap it is, why do you keep telling us that it is terrible and expensive?" npub1y9vah6yqyp7hkwnp53jzf52tdsphchewxpylyexdaz6xccc38ltsu8qekx Jeff Horton :canada: @nprofile…qu5h back when predictive text was the very good T9 style :) npub1y9vah6yqyp7hkwnp53jzf52tdsphchewxpylyexdaz6xccc38ltsu8qekx Jeff Horton :canada: According to my phones usage tracker my primary apps are Tusky (mastodon) and an authenticator app for 2fa codes. Seems a productive use of all that computing and infrastructure :) npub1y9vah6yqyp7hkwnp53jzf52tdsphchewxpylyexdaz6xccc38ltsu8qekx Jeff Horton :canada: @npub1k4q…3lsq https://www.wikihow.com/Make-a-Paper-Hat Some stylish options :) npub1y9vah6yqyp7hkwnp53jzf52tdsphchewxpylyexdaz6xccc38ltsu8qekx Jeff Horton :canada: Even if we discount the science problem, we should be very concerned at the success of the social media exposure and the amplification of hate, distrust and other propaganda here. Even if you don't believe in foreign actors, that the exact same themes are running in all western countries is no accident. npub1y9vah6yqyp7hkwnp53jzf52tdsphchewxpylyexdaz6xccc38ltsu8qekx Jeff Horton :canada: Today 6000 people that apparently failed science class voted for pro CO2 and other dangerous and hateful policies in #abpoli. There are quite a lot more of us that didn't fail and don't hate here so it isn't all bad but wowzers, hard to take this place seriously sometimes. npub1y9vah6yqyp7hkwnp53jzf52tdsphchewxpylyexdaz6xccc38ltsu8qekx Jeff Horton :canada: @npub1k4q…3lsq We've had one of those blue air filter machines at home running basically non stop all summer to make inside reasonable. very noticeable difference between in and out most days. npub1y9vah6yqyp7hkwnp53jzf52tdsphchewxpylyexdaz6xccc38ltsu8qekx Jeff Horton :canada: @npub1k4q…3lsq here too in RD. Almost (but not really) prefer the days where you can smell it too as more obvious danger. npub1y9vah6yqyp7hkwnp53jzf52tdsphchewxpylyexdaz6xccc38ltsu8qekx Jeff Horton :canada: Has anyone checked to see if Danielle and her gang have claimed the eclipse makes solar power unfeasible? :) npub1y9vah6yqyp7hkwnp53jzf52tdsphchewxpylyexdaz6xccc38ltsu8qekx Jeff Horton :canada: Hey cat people, you know who loves the weighted blanket most in this house? Our tuxedo cat. He thinks it is the best thing ever and is super happy when we cover him up with it. npub1y9vah6yqyp7hkwnp53jzf52tdsphchewxpylyexdaz6xccc38ltsu8qekx Jeff Horton :canada: Was at a local energy/electric event this weekend. Poked around in several electric cars and sure they are nice but did anyone engage actual industrial designers at all? No affordances, no knobs, buttons, etc. Just little graphics you need to look over at a central mounted tablet to use. Deal breaker for me. Wanting knobs and buttons and sliders don't make me an old, just someone that likes to look at the road while I change the temperature. npub1y9vah6yqyp7hkwnp53jzf52tdsphchewxpylyexdaz6xccc38ltsu8qekx Jeff Horton :canada: @npub1k4q…3lsq My kids worry about me because I forget to turn off the burners I used. They are especially worried about what happens when I get old. npub1y9vah6yqyp7hkwnp53jzf52tdsphchewxpylyexdaz6xccc38ltsu8qekx Jeff Horton :canada: @npub1k4q…3lsq I'm so old the unneeded exclamation excitement at end is too much :) npub1y9vah6yqyp7hkwnp53jzf52tdsphchewxpylyexdaz6xccc38ltsu8qekx Jeff Horton :canada: This original toot has hundreds of boosts and favs already in a couple hours. Shows how many of us are here and want to see more science around. npub1y9vah6yqyp7hkwnp53jzf52tdsphchewxpylyexdaz6xccc38ltsu8qekx Jeff Horton :canada: On that story about scientists leaving X and coming here. Please, please lean into the feature of hashtag following and tag your stuff. A lot of us would love to find you and hashtag discovery is the easiest way here. npub1y9vah6yqyp7hkwnp53jzf52tdsphchewxpylyexdaz6xccc38ltsu8qekx Jeff Horton :canada: @npub1k4q…3lsq I suspect their dual funding nature is to blame again. Gem/TikTok can provide ad revenue.
