I wish I’d had a chance to see him live. He truly changed my life and helped shape my worldview at an early age.

I’ll just leave this wall of beauty here:

A Message by George Carlin:

The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider Freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness. 

We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom. 

We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.

We’ve learned how to make a living, but not a life. We’ve added years to life not life to years. We’ve been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We’ve done larger things, but not better things. 

We’ve cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We’ve conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We’ve learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less. 

These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete… 

Remember; spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever.

Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side.

Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn’t cost a cent.

Remember, to say, ‘I love you’ to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you.

Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again.

Give time to love, give time to speak! And give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

If you don’t send this to at least 8 people…Who cares?

I feel content. Warnings are beneficial.

Palantir integrated police drone control network.

They’re not like other girls. They’re “pickme” girls who think being on the inside makes them special by proxy. Like Serena and all the wives in Handmaid’s Tale, they think being part of the in group mea they’re part of the superior class. And maybe they are, until they step one toe out of line from their designated lane.

Despite it saying it was synching multiple times it stayed blank, restarted the app a few times and still empty. Hours later I checked one last time before uninstalling and it had populated. Odd that it took so long to load but works now.

Neo store is empty after installing and syncing repositories. Why would an app not be on f-droid but appear on an f-droid client app? Seems like an unnecessary extra layer.

Thanks!

When I get to the point where I need a controller I am planning to use reef-pi.

Oooh I bet this will work for viewing my salt water aquarium at night so I can see the nocturnal critters and corals at work!

Or maybe I just got a little too excited because this is for the output light filter and not the camera/input.

Also not found searching the in f-droid store app.

Road trip stops for gas and, oddly enough, rural antique stores are my prime exposure to AM radio. Shit is unhinged.

Lion’s Choice southwest cheddar melt with roast beef.

You can thank AM radio for that, at least partially.

There’s your oxygen.

I’ve seen you g hippo tangs do that under rocks.

My dojo loaches do this all the time. They’re known for it. I have to check their gills or give them a little pet (yes you can pet them).

Edit to add: we also have upside down catfish that just swim upside down all day. Oh, and a synodontis which is a bigger bug eyed fish that chills upside down on the surface plant roots.

Our midas blenny did the same. Funny thing is it happened just days after I made lids. I had left it off during the day. Found them on the floor and put 'em back in. Doing fine now, going on a month since then.

Save the only one with feelings.

Plausible.
