Thank you, I will definitely check those out.

It also seems I can root my phone, but I’d rather not go that route until absolutely necessary (e.g. some future update that breaks side loading).

I turn off my phone every night, so I changed that back as soon as I found out.

They also messed with the navigation bar… Before, instead of having three buttons, you could have it display three lines at the bottom that you used by swiping upward. They did away with that, so now your only options are 1) the three regular buttons that are too easy to accidentally press and take up too much screen real estate, or 2) one line that is harder to use combined with a back functionality enabled by swiping from the left ir right sides of the screen. It’s not only slower to use than the three lines, but it also results in accidentally going back when trying to scroll horizontally.

They could have left an option to keep the three lines, but no, they love reminding us we don’t really own the devices we pay for >:|

Idk, but in this instance, we have Paul the Apostle to thank for Christians’ submission to authority, no matter how vile it is:

Romans 13 1 Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God.

Here you go: https://archive.ph/1XWrP

For reference, the way you do it is:

1. Copy the article’s link
2. Go to archive.ph and paste link in the second text field to search for an already-archived version
3. If nothing comes up, paste the link in the first text field to archive the article (will take a few moments)

Hmm, I just tested with Firefox on Android (w/ uBlock Origin installed) and saw no such thing. Maybe you hit an invisible limit?

Sucks that 12ft.io was taken down; it was easy to prepend it to any address. (I was even using it as a proxy as an fu to news and government sites I didn’t like.) At least archive.is/ph still works.

Definitely. It would have to be curated similarly to Wikipedia, with discussions, disclaimers and ample references. Also, it would need to be stressed that alternative medicines only be used as a last resort.

We need a fallback plan for when all else fails, since we obviously can’t trust politicians and Big Pharma with our health. Wasn’t there an open source project aimed at making the knowledge of how to synthesize drugs available to all? We need to build on that, and also a searchable database of naturally occurring compounds and their pharmacological effects. I want to be able to search a list drugs that might have similar effects to the ones I’m taking, just in case I don’t get my Rxs refilled for whatever reason.

It is very stressful, especially coming from a more rural area. It doesn’t get too snowy here, but it does go down below freezing in the winter months. I’ll just have to get that room cleared one way or another.

Thanks for the interaction. Things are feeling less nightmarish than earlier.

It was just a small idle chat because I was out weeding at the time.

It’s okay for us to clean the trailer, but we just can’t throw out anything, and there’s a lot of stuff.

We’ve got one room completely cleaned, but the other one is dark, making it hard to see. Both are almost completely without electricity. It’s mainly just boxes piled up and black widows throughout. I know I need to make progress on the room before it gets truly cold, but I feel mentally stuck.

I’m so embarrssed and ashamed for losing my shit earlier. It’s like I have no control when that happens. Nobody needs a lunatic living next door. I wish I could live in seclusion -_-

Just had a meltdown in the trailer park. Yelled and broke a coffee cup, splashed coffee everywhere.

Still sleeping on the porch, it’s cold, my teeth have been hurting and I can’t makeart or do anyrhing else I used to like. If I could off myself easily I probably would.

I think ‘EEVEE Next’ is just the project name for a bunch of modernized changes, but idk.

Oh yeah, forgot to mention that’s a good way to use geometry nodes for quick building layouts!

I wonder how difficult it would be to add floor moulding. It might involve needing to get edge data using a script, but it might also be possible to duplicate edges and find them using a special node group…

Looks great! Are you rendering with EEVEE Next?

Regarding the low-res textures: they don’t look too bad, but you could always blur the final image a bit and add a VHS filter like others do with Backrooms content. (But then all the other details would be obscured somewhat.)

I’m not sure I have any good suggestions. I’m taking Buspar and Seroquel currently. Maybe try Buspar if you havent yet, as it seems good at managing anxiety and energy levels.

I don’t get any zombiness from the Seroquel. In fact, its narcotic effect tends to wear off before sunrise for me (I woke up at 3:30 am this morning and I’m staying up).

Careful with the Abilify. I had to recently stop taking it due to a strange internal restlessness it was causing. The simple act of sitting down was arduous because I could not get comfortable. I’ve never had any full-blown movement disorders, but it felt like a precursor to one. It was also making me agitated and just generally on edge.

Nice shot! Looks similar to the Riverside (CA) area.

For anyone not getting this reference it’s a fascinating, but sad story: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margaret_Howe_Lovatt

UN aid operations halt in Gaza after Israeli evacuation orders: Official

A top UN official tells reporters the repeated evacuation orders have upended the organisation’s aid operations.

That looks like a blast, but I’d make sure the weather reports were favorable first…

Unfortunately you’re correct. Even if not everyone is funneled into the prison system, their belongings get taken away and/destroyed. Some even lose beloved pets. I imagine it’s extremely demoralizing having your life broken down to zero and having to rebuild again and again.
