Trainspotting.

I'll answer yes. Because that's where the money comes from to fulfill our obligations. The alternative is no protection, and our nearest neighbor is about to elect an insurrectionist who may have figured out we have clean water and a negotiable border.

Now ask me about healthcare. Yes.

Ask me about managed SRO blocks with staffed nurses and training for homeless who want to get out. Yes.

Ask me about transit. Yes

Ask me about superfunding derelict derricks. No, but we arrest vandals for destroying an ecosystem and see how that pans out.

Everyone does after enough repetition. #endlessSeptember

Yes. D is pretty awesome.

May his toes never jam

Pine has been forked to Alpine

Wonder if it runs on Alpine the Linux distro.

In other news, I never knew pine's genetic code still lives on; but I miss elm more. Can we do uw-imap too? Dovecot annoys me.

You may need to go see what of substance the 'opposition' (usually not the term for the controlling administration so much as its leading competition) has offered. There's a list, but publicizing that list is where this democratic administration truly has sucked.

CAUTION - requires an app which

• could go unmaintained
• could be exploited
• could spy on you
• could stop working if your phone updates or gets more secure.

If these are concerns you have, you may want to look for something that connects to a regular computer (or wireless print server) and uses a more common device interface.

"winner take all"? It's like minority governments don't exist.

And America. They just put a criminal on their leadership ballot.

Mackinaw + toque

Very nearly got stabbed in the eye by one. Hate the things now and I just wear a hat.

After 1980, most of that isn't true except for the tacked-on comment about renewables.

I hope there's been more updating than just a tilt of the head at windmills.

The radium fireplace? Maybe not.

Is anyone in the case?

Are you asking whether we're trapped in a valise?

I went for a diagnosis, partially to support a claim of need for a special work environment as the rest of my team entered a bright, hot, loud hell-hole I knew would be the end of me. I have a history that could fit a profile of someone lightly affected by ADHD.

I got placed with a shrink over zoom, because #covid. Only rarely did she look up, but she was very sure I was affected. And the next 3 months were a roller-coaster.

You see, no matter what I said - side effects, worries about meds, 'flattening' - the answer was "more meds". I could announce I was actively on fire, and her response would be to increase the dosage.

By the end she was convinced I was 'profoundly' ADHD; and me living with it for decades. More meds was the answer. More, more more.

I left my job anyway, and with that my extended medical also stopped. The monthly charge for medications was hundreds, the 'flattening' was becoming an impactful condition, and the distant nature of the person prescribing more meds without glancing at me became another issue. I began to feel that my entire involvement in this process of diagnosis and treatment was to validate someone's profession and self-worth.

So I tapered off. I'll get back into the process again, but not with this doc.

If you do start the diagnosis process, I hope you don't get into a state where you doubt the professionals apparently working for your benefit. Trust is an important thing, and it's frail.

Someone give me some optimism here. I'm worried this Supreme Court won't write their opinion so much as cast it like a vote. With Clearance and Kegstand and others behind it, I need something optimistic to hold onto.
