If you use Signal, maybe you want to consider this: I got banned by Moxie asking very politely a question of the full Signal business model, including the token, in five minutes.
““Do we need some sort of, almost, qualification, licensing, education for men to go out into the social sphere?”
He added: “People would say, is that an impingement on our rights of free movement? And we’ve obviously all been through this through Covid.””
Allowing your rights to be taken away for "emergencies" gives them ammo to take them away again.

"Pianoteq is an award-winning virtual instrument which you can install on your computer (PC/Mac). It is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux, and will even run on some ARM-based boards such as the Raspberry Pi. It can be used both in standalone mode and as an instrument plug-in in VST, AAX, and AudioUnits hosts."
TFW you run into a random product with Linux support.
The crazies are now trying to tie rejection of zero covid to eugenics:
"The solution cannot be that everyone has to get COVID. That is eugenics because many disabled high risk people will die ... Do not buy into this eugenic thinking that expects the most vulnerable to be sacrificed."
Tough. Sometimes life sucks. We're not sacrificing everyone else in a hopeless attempt at protecting you.
#MeToo Comes For Martin Luther King - The American Conservative
https://www.theamericanconservative.com/dreher/me-too-martin-luther-king/
Worth reading: "It will be incredibly – and rightly – hard for the US to back away from the celebration of Dr. King, to cancel or rename the Martin Luther King holiday, to rename the Martin Luther King avenues, to demolish the Martin Luther King monument in the Mall, and so on. And perhaps – just perhaps – this might lead to some on the Left rethinking their opposition to other iconic figures of the past."

Why Won't They Release the Data on Child Deaths Following Covid Vaccination? – The Daily Sceptic
https://dailysceptic.org/2022/01/17/why-wont-they-release-the-data-on-child-deaths-following-covid-vaccination/
"All we want is honest disclosure of the figures so that parents can make an informed decision."
"After reviewing the evidence, the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) recommended against vaccinating 12-15-year-olds, but were overridden by the [UK govt]."
Sounds to me like children are being vaccinated without meaningful consent. A very serious crime.

Great video on how difficult it was to come up with the seemingly simple ohms law.
OH: "I'd like to play DnD but I never had any friends to play it with.
I mean, I never had _that_ kind of friends."
Hollywood's New Rules - Common Sense
https://bariweiss.substack.com/p/hollywoods-new-rules
"[T]he audience stops trusting us. They begin to see us as a community twisting ourselves into a pretzel to make every movie as woke as possible, every relationship mixed racially, every character sexually fluid, and they decide that we are telling stories set in a fantasyland instead of a world they know and live in. If that happens, and they decide to throw themselves instead into video games 24/7, we will lose them.”
Upgraded to the latest Mastodon version.
Now, interesting question for @drgo and others: you guys had some weird issues with my posts IIRC. Is that still happening?
Unclear if they're real though: https://twitter.com/Dtrader80/status/1478947540632543235

Interesting ideas here for resistance.
Real-life Rupees: How to Grow Green Potassium Ferrioxalate Crystals From Iron Rust
https://crystalverse.com/potassium-ferrioxalate-crystals
"A more efficient way of making rust is via electrolysis. The disadvantage is that it requires a power supply."
Idea: is electrolysis efficient enough to sabotage infrastructure with it over time? Eg wire up a power source to something like a bridge?
This wouldn't often happen naturally as most leakage currents from power infrastructure are AC, not DC.
