I already block all non-contact calls and messages, well, I filter them out and check them every few days to make sure nothing important has happened. Just like my spam folder in my email. If I let spam calls actually ring-through on my phone it would drive me insane because I get at least a dozen bullshit calls a day.

I never tried Sonic on the iPod, but I bet it was ridiculous to control!

Oh wow, I totally forgot about doing that as well! I think I spent the better part of a day getting it work, then “played” it for all of two or three minutes.

I had completely forgotten about iPod games! I think there was one called Vortex that I liked a lot and there was also game version of the show LOST that I only played because I was a mega-fan of the show that was otherwise very frustrating.

Also a great example of why DRM sucks.

Well that’s just super neat! I will absolutely be giving it a go sometime soon. Thanks for sharing and for building!

It really does feel like the system itself is designed to set up those of us with psychological disorders (and neurological conditions) for failure. My mental health provider that I must use, because they’re the only ones around, has this “just in time” system where they will only schedule appointments one week prior to when the appointment is supposed to be. So instead of just making an appointment for say October 30, you have to wait until October 23rd, call in, try to get set up for the following week (if available) and then you get a confirmed date. Also, if you miss an appointment and don’t make a new one within a week they will discharge after another 7 days. That’s crazy, these patients have disorders that absolutely cause them to miss appointments and completely avoid them in some cases.

To be blunt, the entire mental healthcare system is totally fucked in the US. I don’t get worked up over anything ever really, but this shit pisses me off.

On a positive note, congratulations on getting setup for treatment again! It really is a feat of fortitude in this country and you got it done!

That is a fantastically odd line of action figures!

It’s crazy to me that a company can just abandon hundreds (or thousands?) of 700 pound machines all over the place like this. I feel like there should be some kind of court order for the person last in charge of the company to drive the fuck around the country and clean up their mess.

That actually looks bizarrely fun!

Huh, I never noticed either! Cool little detail though.

Thanks for digging those up! I figured it was somewhere around that range. I’ve had it be fairly accurate within a couple feet, but I’ve also had Bluetooth proximity show much further.

Does Yunohost use containers like CasaOS? I’ve been using CasaOS for miscellaneous home stuff, but I can’t explain or justify it, I just don’t like containers.
