I went to college with a guy who had a tea cup pig in a major city, he would take it on walks and use it to pick up girls. Worked out for him somehow.

Pixel 8 stock, haven't gotten around to Graphene OS yet and a little worried it won't work with my bank/credit card apps. I think I can revert to stock if things don't work for me so I might try soon.

I really miss my LG G8 though.

I'm in a similar boat re ham radio. It seems like a cool hobby, I'm into the idea of building and running radios. Even better if you add backpacking, DX-ing, "fox hunting" or other ham radio games. But the culture is a little off for my taste. People are generally polite and friendly enough on short contacts but you can hear some bad takes if you chat long enough. It would be cool to see younger, diverse, more left leaning new hams, it would get me more interested in going on air.

Declawing cats is animal abuse it really fucks them up mentally. And you shouldn't wash a cat unless they've gotten into something messy, they do a fine job on their own.

Try and come at us, we have a rock

What ways do you use meshtastic? Did you setup any friends or family with terminals? It's kinda just like a group text right?

I've been thinking about setting one up myself but I'm not sure what I'd do with it. Im not sure I could convince anyone to use it even if I gifted them a radio. And I get enough of hams just chatting about their gear on HF...

I've had a good experience with TrueNAS scale on bare metal and proxmox in a VM. I don't have a lot of heavy weight stuff on proxmox though, mainly LXC containers and a few VMs. I also have a VM in TrueNAS for jellyfin that I pass a GPU into. It's been running that way for several years without issue.

I sympathize with wanting to feel comfortable and connected with a partner. I hope you can find an arrangement that makes you happy.

I also totally know the feeling of finding little passages or pieces of art or media that I really emotionally resonate with and struggling to communicate what they mean to me. I'm not surprised, things like that are so strongly influenced by your own context, but I still find it disappointing.

Speaking of speaking of power lines, are you a fan of Any Austin? https://youtu.be/mTtMCoJrGxk

If you're up for roasting your own (it's easy and fun!) there is a great variety of decaf green beans.

I regularly roast their decaf fazenda and it's great.

The way I see it, more engines for us!

I spent a lot of time playing Banjo Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts alone and online with friends. A lot of people I've talked to view it negatively and are surprised when I say it was one of my favorite 360 titles. It's one of the main reasons I want to try out Xbox 360 emulation.
