Our family also use it constantly, both for video and for sending messages(for non-time-sensitive things). Rarely for audio only, we're very english and so always dressed appropriately to take a call . At Christmas we use a TV plug in wide angle thingy and contact(invite) a number of households worldwide. You get 4 households on a split screen with all/extended family members on & around their sofas... and conversations become chaotic fast . Up to four individuals or couples & works well. It's free (on your internet provider), it's private, it works.

Google's doing crap like that, too. https://www.wired.com/story/how-to-opt-out-of-google-search-new-ai-data-training/

The disability stuff is probably unfair. Unlike SSDI the fact that he can farm oysters doesn’t make him ineligible for VA disability. But the ‘prolier than thou’ stuff was always a ruse. He was an upper middle class kid who went to a very fancy private school until he got kicked out. His father bought his house for him. He told friendly press that he only makes about 5k a year farming oysters and his mom’s restaurant is his only business. He makes almost 5k a month on disability.

Have you got something better than "rigor tortoise"? That is not drawing the adoration I need.

I'd say so. Might try it.

Yes, but they've closed the drapes so you can't see the havoc they wrought while you were out.

No matter how badly your day goes, just remind yourself that you’re not a Paris cop on night shift tonight. [image: 1783595132056-img_3190.png]

@ShiroKuro said: How did you find this site? One of those daily news/interesting stuff newsletters. I don't subscribe to the newsletter anymore but happened to check their site a few days ago and this was one of the sites they featured on that day. RetroTv is a major rabbit hole....I just showed it to Mr wtg. I think he may surface in a couple of days...
