I am a little annoyed about phone going to exclusively eSIMs. My Linux phone that I try to boot up and update every so often to see if we've "made it" yet only takes physical SIM. Which I've read you can download an eSIM onto a physical card, but it sounds like a convoluted process, especially when your current phone only has eSIM. But I agree, that has little to nothing to do with open-source.
Ah yes. The good ol' "I told you my ambition in advance" defense against "You SA'd my girlfriend!"
I feel like removing his humanity minimizes the evil of this. If an animal kills someone, it's unfortunate, but it's hard to blame the animal. In fact, it's often the victim's fault when an animal attacks. But this is a human. He is capable of such immense goodness and kindness, and instead he chooses to do this. The worst horror is an intelligent being choosing evil, not a mindless creature acting instinctively.
I don't much care for violence either, but it certainly seems as though one side has no qualms about using it. If there were a peaceful solution, I'd advocate for it, but more and more it seems that political power grows from the barrel of a gun...
Isn't there footage and/or photographs of him getting arrested at protests in his younger years? Did he just live to see himself become a villain or maybe was he a stopped clock? It seemed like he used to better, even if he was just a lib. I guess years in a comfy politician's chair can change a man.
Fuckin hate it. Food is awful. I'd much rather photosynthesize. (may have an ED? for me it's not super severe though, I just really don't enjoy eating)
Whenever I've read about ham etiquette, they often specifically say not to say "over," and I haven't personally heard it very often, but it may be a more regional thing? I mostly listen to a weather repeater and sometimes do FT8 or SSTV, so I don't really hear enough to know how people usually do that, I suppose.
I guess if you're eighteen and they're seventeen, then sure? But also if you're in college it'd be kinda weird to be with a high school student like that. Maybe on some technicality, but let's err on the side of don't do that.
I would generally agree. I wish healthcare professionals responded to wellness checks instead. The first time I was hospitalized, though, I went to a school counselor and talked to them. I don't remember if it was a piglet (campus security) or the full grown thing that drove me to the ER, but it wasn't a doctor or therapist or anything. What I mean is a welfare check is usually doesn't have the same vibe as calling the police to catch or arrest or even scold somebody. But also it's totally fair not to want to call police on them at all; they have a bad track record with mentally ill folks.
More likely truckers than hams. That's not what ham radio callsigns are like, and hams look down on you for saying things like "over" at the end of your transmissions.
Edit: A ham radio might still pick up CB or whatever frequencies, but the protocol being used is not ham

The first half of the book is the fall of House Atreides, and then the rest of the book is Paul living among the Fremen until the end where he leads them in a coup against the emperor. The first movie ends with the House falling and Paul and his mother meeting up with the Fremen.
