I had an obscure/rare name tattooed on my arm. I was at a place and this girl called out to her friend, and it was the rare name.

So I moved over to them slowly so as not to make it obvious and mid convo I said hey are you (name), she was like yeah? And I raised my sleeve. Her seing her rare name as a tattoo…the shock and stuff , her face was priceless.

Yes pretty much exact

I don’t think bad marks were justified. This is how I see every interaction go with polyglot colleagues, its like a modem handshake and they settle into the most comfortable common language

What was interesting about my son with down syndrome: as he learned to read he became a master at reading cursive…somehow.

We’d hand him Christmas cards that we struggled to read from old European relatives(that wrote in older script) and somehow he’d read it off no problem.

My guess is words always needed decoding for him and context played a role in guessing the word, so it became a skill somehow

Could be they were both shit lol. I couldnt see (on mobile) what playback system was used.

A good interview with Bob Carver if you like audio history https://podcast.asknoahshow.com/25

I’m a person with sensitive hearing and mp3 always sounds muddy to me compared with a flac or wav rip. My coworker poo-pooed this notion, but I proved it to him. Mp3 does alter the sounds, most people won’t notice, but for somebody that does hear the differences its annoying. I would not spend 10k or anything. I paid $15 for an old 5.1 system, and max $80 for a pi2 with a DAC hat. LOL

For me its like if you stood outside a persons house and heard them talking vs their words coming over their TV. There is a noticable signature that let’s you hear its the TV or real people, and that’s what mp3 vs wav is like for me.

I can also hear my neighbours ceiling fan running in the connected town home. That almost inaudible drone of the motor running, drives me nuts

Exactly, silver is a better conductor I believe, but tarnishes like copper does

Such a big north pole

Croc file share, uses a relay to find each other https://github.com/schollz/croc

Session Messenger, uses a tor style server network https://github.com/session-foundation/session-android

Ah, cool

I think the original query was are these illegal to sell in USA due to not having FBI traceability?

We buy from Fruiticana for veg and fruit, and staple items. It is half the price of Superstore most times. So if a tiny market store can undercut a giant grocer then you know the superstore prices are bullshit

It was a question. And wasn’t pen plotters since they can’t reproduce money, and are more rare for consumers

My non laser colour had it. Left yellow dots on photos, drove me crazy

That quote doesn’t mean they always use Teams, they may have clients that only use teams and so are forced to comply to client.

I would hope internally they have a Jitsi server

Illegal due to US govt wanting discrete traceable patterns printed so they can track money duplication on colour printer or track Ransom letters?

Now you’ve interrupted I will lose 40 minutes. Lol.

Also it’s not whats I’d call true code like what a C programmer would do, it’s a enterprise 3d CAD modeller that has a variety of built in programming automation tools/language, visual rules. So its solving geometry issues, component interaction, and interpart constraints via formulae and code so that the varied consumer parameters (they may alter) don’t destroy the model dependencies, and they still get a product assembly output.

Its fine , I got a chuckle out of it. That’s inevitable for me on mobile without my glasses on.
