Whose idea was "Hey let's tell kids on the spectrum they need a special identifying mark?" I'm serious. Who thought this was a fucking good idea?

I don't use what's in hotels either I usually bring my own.

Yes. Yes it has.

I think experimenting until you find ones you like is fine, but once that's happened I usually just stick with what works.

No problem. I'm not sure what they have their rate limit set at but yeah I'd just leave it where it's at unless there's a compelling reason to change it.

@FreakyFwoof John's got this cute little 4TB drive on his desk, and I want one.

All we need to do is wait a little longer and storage will become yet less expensive and then we can pounce.

Whether or not changing the number of API calls used would do you any good depends a great deal on what server you're on. The default value for Mastodon installations is 300 calls per 5 minute slot on a per-user basis.

Yeah I have to agree with this.

Working on it.

Personally I don't ask how someone is doing unless I have the energy to demonstrate actual concern about their response. But that's just me.

Yay reading and bed.

@charvor Oh I like disconnecting from tech too. But this is the readathon and we have to win. 🙂 Also yay for sharing/trading food/recipes.

@charvor Yeah but that's why you walk down the street with a graphic audio playing in one ear and call it reading. lol.

@quinn Also the jingoistic bullshit from some querters really pisses me off because 9 times out of 10 the people doing it don't actually give a shit about Israel or the Palestinians they just want to use it to score political points/make sure all the pieces are in place for when Rambo Jesus comes back or whatever.

@quinn Honestly it takes a lot of work because we're not talking about a simplistic or even long-lasting conflict. I can't count the number of times I've had people say to me "they've been fighting for thousands of years why should they stop now/why should we be involved" and all I can do is shake my head because this isn't true at all. For starters, both sides have legit grievances and claims.

That's excellent for a Monday.

Oh really? I need to figure out how to switch my stuff from the GA library to the PA one.

Yeah really.

Yeah I know but I just can't help but feel like they're going to choke on this again.
