Sad that the rover hasn't woken up yet this season. I hope it does.
No manufacturers can make a dishwasher that lasts 18 months anymore. And they don't make replacement parts. I'm not in any hurry to add another hunk of electronic junk to my home.
Deep in both noseholes you say?
Only two pieces?
When I work at military facilities in the US, they use wet bulb globe temperature (WBGT) which adds the heating effect of direct sunlight.
We use it to prevent heat stroke. DoD has a system of colored flags that index to the WBGT. Red and black flags indicate that folks working outside need to take breaks at some increased frequency.
Good news!
Thank you Brazil.
VAX.

I think it's a different thing. For me, my expectation is that Threads/Meta connecting to Fediverse is more like when AOL connected to IRC (specifically EFnet) in the 90s. I wasn't really into Usenet, but Eternal September was pretty much the same wave. AOL pushed hard in advertising and recruiting users, and IRC and Usenet were originally populated with people who got into it more organically.
I don't remember Jabber or XMPP having any kind of discovery system. I only ever talked to people who knew already. So when Google connected Talk, it was just added convenience. I wasn't bombarded with rude idiots like the AOL invasion of IRC. When Google ended XMPP support, I was disappointed, but I continued using XMPP with my friends.
I think Meta is spending a ton on promoting Threads, and it's going to bring in a lot of people with different values. It's going to be unpleasant for me, but I think that's just the self-similar fractal that is the Internet.
I knew XMPP as Jabber, and I remember being delighted when I tested messages between my Jabber accounts and my Gmail account.
If you don't have a cone available, maybe a bit of tape on a sensor window?
I haven't tested this.
