Crowd sourced, open access FLOS(Data) is almost always good. will check it out. thanks!

without addons to control internet crazy, that word “function” is doing some heavy lifting.

ok, now thats just a slice of awesomeness! thank you, kind friend. will look for the show.

looking to slow right the F down? any of the family (meaning not primary islands) islands in the Bahamas, but particularly abaco, eleuthera, long island or andros. 100% totally different way of living than you are likely used to.

visited many times and wanting to go back before its all gone due to climate change.

ok,

Share of the population using safely managed sanitation facilities

• 884 million people in the world, approximately 1 in 8, do not have access to safe water
• 2.5 billion people across the globe lack access to adequate sanitation services
• 1.4 million children die every year, 1 child every 20 seconds, from diarrhea caused by unclean water and poor sanitation
• 443 million school days are lost each year to water-related diseases
• 47% of diarrhea incidents can be reduced by hand-washing with soap at critical times
• 87% say they washed their hands after using public lavatories
• 77% actually wash their hands after using a public restroom
• 46% say they wash their hands for 15 seconds or less
• 15-20 seconds equals the amount of time recommended for hand-washing with soap and water
• 200% the average increase in life expectancy at birth since the introduction of modern, indoor plumbing

but, as you said, all of these figurative people can get right outta town.

plumbers through history have saved countless lives, whether you think so or not. I say they are in the top 5 all-time life saving professions.

edit: upvoted you cuz you responded :-)

thoughtful. my issue here is while a community is nascent, isnt building maintaining an honest reflection of the community important?

I have joined a few tiny locally communities based on one post/comment. I may never return and the community traffic is irregular.

in a situation like that I can see a mod pruning me away for zero comments in a year. however that is a form of censorship. so its back to the default of mods run their communities as they wish and, if you disagree find/create another community or instance.

thanks for the thoughful comment.

cozy. lets just think of It as cozy, why don’t we… ahhh, much better!

absolutely. careful pruning and caretaking is how you nurture good communities. excellent comment.

dont wanna pile on… but idk, man… next time you use a functional toilet, you might want to consider what you just said.

plumbers are likely in the top 5 of all time life savers on this planet. just sayin’.

respect you social work immensely, but everyone’s contributions are undervalued in this world.

agreed. as long as the administrative requirement is not “all work done from office desk”, and cellular carrier IP ranges are allowed for his specific services, a cellular connection from laptop (cuz tech reasons) works. OP just likely needs a reasonable cya excuse to make things smooth.

your IP will be the easy give away if they care to audit. a possible solution is to VPN to the campus and nat your traffic from a campus IP, but now we are getting into additional questionable action.

• plate number is tied to a VIN which describes the make/model. (sir, this is a wendys toyota. where is the honda?)

• replies not required from the plate - plate has a specialized qrcode printed across the entire plate (infrared reflector?) with an identifier (lic + other public info?) and signed with an RSA keypair - reader can authenticate the information and a qrcode read counts as a verifiably good read

• …or just ship RFID tags in the yearly inspection stickers - same cryptographic concept

none of this is hard or costly. only impediment is public rejection and we all know that can be managed.

very cool idea. they will counter with RFID or turn the plate into the equiv of a qrcode. store a cryptographically secure hash of the plate number and you pretty much put an end to that, no?. if I cant get a crypto signed version of your plate, flag the the car as a scofflaw (or worse) and track it as it travels in other ways. I think we are pretty much screwed without a change in laws.

with anti-women laws in some of these states, this is terrifying.

sadly, agreed. mindshare leads to adoption, tho - so putting Firefox in front of more faces is always a positive. after all, its how google dominates.

I’d wager that the cameras can’t read them either if you can’t at 10 yards

I might not take a bet on that. most license plates use reflective paint to aid in this. it would surprise me if paint and cameras are not tuned to at least one non human-visible wavelength.

polarized plate covers, specialized spray coatings, etc may work, but I am not betting my freedom on it. time to go bond style and get rotating plates.

a big thank you for your comment. comments like these really do help me to not skip worthwhile articles.

nah, lets get them switched away from chromium based spy machines.

always cool to see routing by rumour in meatspace.

wow! this must be the most “fuck you in particular” moment ever.

my undaeratanding is that lens material is so optically tuned for weight that removal of any amount of material makes a difference to the focusing - not to mention the possible coatings on the lens. this is what I have been told, I have no other evidence.
