In some languages, all nouns are gendered, and it’s impossible to refer to a noun without a gender. There is no “it”, only (s)he.

If you ever learn a language like that, you will make mistakes. If someone hears your mistake, hopefully they’ll be more forgiving about it than you are.

No. That would require too many jars, and seems like a waste of ammo.

No it was something else. IIRC, Bitchat is more useful for public communication. It seems similar to Meshtastic; they support both public and private messaging

I saw someone mention that Bitchat would be a better fit for their situation than Briar. I’m not really familiar enough with either to know for sure, but I suppose it couldn’t hurt to install both

So, using this model as an example:

Single jewel quartz mechanism

For $300, that’s a bit of a turn-off. I’d prefer a mechanical movement — even a cheap-but-reliable Seiko NH35 (edit: maybe the no-date NH38) movement would do.

There are some nice quartz movements that might be acceptable too, but if they don’t specify which movement it is, then it’s probably not great.

It has a sapphire crystal, which is pretty much expected at that price range (though Seiko is still a bit behind on this), so it seems kinda odd not to specify which movement is in there.

Aside from the specs, I suppose the rest comes down to build/finish quality, which is hard to gauge without seeing it in person.

Personally, I’d want better specs for those prices. However, I’m more of a watch nerd than an art/design nerd. I wouldn’t know how to put a price on the art of those designs. Hopefully they’re built well.

Ah, interesting. Has it been working effectively? I could imagine ICE attempting to lure them away using a whistle of their own to create a false alarm.

Is there a specific whistle that they use? If any whistle will do, I can vouch for this one. It’s really loud.

🤔 ah, I suppose that makes sense

Yep. When I visit Lemmy, it tends to feel like a dark place. I don’t think news and politics should be dialed down to zero, but the overall negativity here is a bit heavy, and likely a deal-breaker for many exploring Lemmy for the first time.

For comparison to another decentralized social media platform: Nostr generally seems like a pretty positive place. The people tend to be friendly, and it’s quite common to see them saying “good morning” to each other for seemingly no reason (aside from having a nice morning, I suppose). Conversations generally seem civil and mature. Unfortunately, there’s LOT of Bitcoin stuff to wade through over there.

What does a kitchen server do?

What’s the whistle for? I think I may be out of the loop on this.

Why (and how to) cook a PB&J?

I’m pretty happy with my Fluance RT82. Zero complaints.

Though, to be clear: it’s the only one I’ve owned, so far.

I’ve been pretty happy with Peergos

A vasectomy would only remove the sperm from the semen.

You have to agree with the hive mind or you get down voted into oblivion.

Isn’t Lemmy the same way though?

Less corporate, less centralized, open source tech. I don’t quite fit in here, but I guess I’m weird enough to stick around anyway 🙂

IIRC, I looked into Meshtastic a while back, and it was known to be unreliable. Is that still the case? It seems like a really cool concept

What’s up with that link?
