Was actually looking at these probe thermometers to give as Christmas presents this year... some brands actually advertise that they connect to nothing and need no phone or account to operate.
The protest was about five or six blocks away from my house... Proud Boys and other jackasses were "patrolling" the neighborhoods.
I'm not straight and my neighborhood is low income. Like my neighbors and I are tight, but everyone has guns... i trust them (and they me), it's folks coming in from outside, especially shit like the Proud Boys who turned up a few years ago during protests.
Even if she's not renting, like it's a condo association or co-op situation, do the same thing. Report it. Could be a sign of something worse in the whole system.
Dude, I just got the post-exposure rabies vaccine. Was four trips to the ER at $125 USD co-pay a pop... however, without insurance, I learned it can be as much as like $15k if you don't qualify for assistance and/or Medicaid.
We really need to take to the streets.

I'm so thankful the local halal place around the corner from my house is there... and gyro and fries is only like 9 USD. I commented to the owner about how cheap his food is; he said he's seen a bit of an uptick in business over the summer and he thinks it's because the chain places have gone mad with pricing.
Jesus Howard Christ... I'm in the market to buy my first house and this is stuff I'm a bit afraid of finding.
Funny thing is that, while a similar principle, they're safer and more ethical than the Star Trek "suicide booth" transporters.
Oh yeah... the poet's house was dope as fuck.
I would love a series about an "Interplanetary University" that had its campus setup across several dozen planets using Farcasters. That would be an interesting setting in the Hyperion universe.
It was a bit of "handwave-ium" and sentient AI. Here's the Wiki for the series if you want to compare your concept...
Here's an article about the Farcasters themselves and here's the article about the World Web that AI and humanity ran with them.

Came home from work one night in 2019 to the church down the street fully on fire. Couldn't get to my house because of a safety zone established around the building, so I hung out with my neighbors and watched it all go down. It was all dramatic and surreal (and kind of metal) to watch. If I remember correctly, it was ruled an arson but never solved. The fire started in the house next door to the church and, all in all, three structures caught that night. The church was a total loss.
My pics and some video I took was used by the local news.

American comedian Ron White frequently tells a story about how his van was damaged in a comedic way by the technicians at a Sears Automotive Center in Savannah, GA. This week, that Sears Automotive Center is being torn down. While the shopping mall that former Sears location is a part of is otherwise doing well, the Sears has been closed for years. The department store end-cap building and the car service center in its out-parcel property are being demolished to make way for the development of a new apartment complex.
A link to Ron preforming the story for a live audience.
The "Children of" trilogy is so good.
