  • Great points, and there’s some amazing discussions going on here!

    One thing I’d like to add is EVERYONE needs to start setting up some meshtastic nodes. It’s really easy to setup (just hook up a USB cable from your computer to a esp32 board, visit a website to get the configuration, and that’s pretty much it), it’s cheap (as little as $30) and it is secure. Build 2 nodes (one to leave at home, and another for your backpack). This way you’ll be able to communicate should the Internet become unavailable or unsafe. You can also use this at a protest so that you still have a means of communication without needing to bring your phone that the Feds will be able to track.




  • Last year I was trying to get a new job and I wish I’d had your convictions to end the process when it was clear things weren’t going well. Instead I let them string me along for a total of 6 onsite interviews (on 6 different days) with around 20 different people. When I had an interview with the CIO I was certain that the job was mine… only to be told the next day they were going with someone else.

    After the 3rd interview I was already thinking that it was excessive and when they asked me at the last minute to come in for the last interview a voice in my head told me that I need to tell them to either make me an offer or fuck off. Instead I showed just exactly how desperate I was, and ended up hating myself for it.

    Pride doesn’t feed a family, but you should hold your head high for this decision.




  • I used to sleep in the #2 position, with my arms under my head. I’d wake up often with both arms completely asleep and I’d be unable to control them. Several times I tore my shoulder muscles trying to turn myself over while my arms were asleep. Then I got a CPAP and started sleeping in #16 position (like #15, but with arms on my belly/chest) and my back pain and shoulder pain has completely gone away, and with the CPAP I don’t snore.
