    I enjoyed https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118884/ when I saw it ( released in 1997, so I assume it was that year ).

    I took 50,000+ steps on Saturday, though we have the benefit of people generally covering their faces in the winter anyway. It was 10F/-9C when I started on Saturday.

    @guizzy What's frustrating is how many FOSS projects are absolutely hellbent on making the same mistakes (I'm looking at you, Gnome devs)

    @guizzy That's a good point but consider that people are already expressing surprise at media that was ultimately never hidden from public eyes. It's just been presented and cherry picked for easy consumption.

    @guizzy Not enough has been said about Parler's international users too. There's people all over the world that apparently enjoyed that app but again this US-centric view dominates everything.

    Wi-Fi 6, explained: how fast it really is The Verge
    https://www.theverge.com/2019/2/21/18232026/wi-fi-6-speed-explained-router-wifi-how-does-work

    snip
    >How fast is it?
    >
    >The short but incomplete answer: 9.6 Gbps. That’s up from 3.5 Gbps on Wi-Fi 5.
    >
    >The real answer: both of those speeds are theoretical maximums that you’re unlikely to ever reach in real-world Wi-Fi use. And even if you could reach those speeds, it’s not clear that you’d need them. The typical download speed in the US is just 72 Mbps, or less than 1 percent of the theoretical maximum speed.
    snip

    The real world numbers are much more dismal, using an internal speed test that I can get Gb speeds on wired connection I can get at most about 300 Mbps on my Wi-Fi5 connection. I am going to guess that the 3.5 Gbps might be total throughput using multiple connections but my AP only had a 1 Gb wired connection anyway.

    Tonight / this morning, I baked a loaf of bread. Whole wheat and almond flour, with pieces of walnuts and pecans. It came out a little gummy.

    It looked way too dry shortly before rising stage, so I added water. Maybe I added too much.

    I have the easy role. I mostly stay in contact with descendants of my nearest (in age) siblings and half-siblings. One of my brothers tracks and contacts almost all descendants & step-descendants of both grandfathers.

    Somehow, I let myself be drawn into a hellthread about banking, cryptocurrencies, money, precious metals, and what might survive what kind of collapse.

    This one guy seems like he’s influenced by “sovereign citizens”:{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sovereign_citizen_movement} and “freemen on the land”:{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freemen_on_the_land} beliefs. For example, modern currency is “banking credits”, not money, because it isn’t backed by precious metals. Real money is precious metals, of prescribed purity, in coin or bullion form.

    In real life, money is defined primarily by what it does or enables someone to do: a medium of exchange and a store of value.

    1. Freeman on the land
      The freeman-on-the-land movement, also known as the freemen-of-the-land, the freemen movement, or simply freemen, is a loose group of individuals who believe that they are bound by statute laws only if they consent to those laws. They believe that they can therefore declare themselves independent of the government and the rule of law, holding that the only "true" law is their own interpretation of "common law". This belief has been described as a conspiracy theory. Freemen claims have been argued in the courts of the United States, Australia and Canada but have always been rejected. In the Canadian court case Meads v. Meads, Alberta Court of Queen's Bench Associate Chief Justice John D. Rooke used the phrase "Organised Pseudolegal Commercial Arguments" (OPCA) to describe the techniques and arguments used by freemen in court, describing them as frivolous and vexatious. There is no recorded instance of freeman tactics being upheld in a court of law. In refuting each of the arguments used by Meads, Rooke concluded that "a decade of reported cases, many of which he refers to in his ruling, have failed to prove...
    2. Sovereign citizen movement
      The sovereign citizen movement is a loose grouping of American litigants, commentators, tax protesters, and financial-scheme promoters. Self-described "sovereign citizens" see themselves as answerable only to their particular interpretations of the common law and as not subject to any government statutes or proceedings. In the United States, they do not recognize U.S. currency and maintain that they are "free of any legal constraints". They especially reject most forms of taxation as illegitimate. Participants in the movement argue this concept in opposition to the idea of "federal citizens", who, they say, have unknowingly forfeited their rights by accepting some aspect of federal law. The doctrines of the movement resemble those of the freemen on the land movement more commonly found in the Commonwealth, such as Australia and Canada.Many members of the sovereign citizen movement believe that the United States government is illegitimate. JJ MacNab, who writes for Forbes about anti-government extremism, has described the sovereign-citizen movement as consisting of individuals who believe that the county...

    @lnxw48a1 One of my favourite novels - Cryptonomicon is founded entirely on this subject. Reading it was quite an education as it goes right back to the fundamentals of money.

    The most annoying side effect of the pandemic remote working conditions has been people's perception you're available 24/7, I have had more tickets come in at the weekends than ever before.
