I’m just this guy. You know?
Heh. Good. They didn’t come up with the idea of summoning creatures. Unfortunately, one of the patents that conflicts is one of their own, and that patent isn’t under contest I don’t think. I don’t know what it says, but I wonder if it leaves us in the same boat.

Heh. I do have a power strip attached to my shelf of handhelds. That isn’t the problem. If I just plug them all in all the time, they will charge to full and stay there. It isn’t great for their battery life. I need something that detects their charge and only stays on long enough to charge them to half full, then shuts off, and I need that for a dozen devices.
I have some of those for my tiny whoops and other 1 or 2 cell quads to charge a batch of them with my fancy charger. Still, I have to calculate the charge rate for the batch.
Unfortunately I have probably a grand worth of RC airplane and Quadcopter lipos that are waiting to explode next time I charge them, since I haven’t flown in the last two years. I wish something better would show up that isn’t as delicate. I’m rooting for high density capacitors.
You are right. Organization and keeping a system going is the only way to move forward. Also, probably throwing all of those lipos away and starting over so that I don’t burn my house down. (I use flame proof bags when charging and keep them in pretty thick ammo cans, so hopfully they won’t burn down my house, but still.)
I have so many handheld gaming devices and now tamagotchi with built in lipos. I can see them going bad in the next year or so. Somebody needs to make a multi plug system that you can leave a dozen or so plugged into just to tend the built in batteries.

They have discovered that even the Amazon rain forest is actually a result of agriculture. I suppose you enjoy eating… It makes no sense to rave against agriculture in general. At any rate I wish they would start domesticating Melipona beecheii for North American bee keeping. It is a native american bee, though it is more central and south america as it is tropical. It is also stingless, which is a plus. Native Americans in Mexico harvested them for honey.
Slavery happened to whole peoples in multiple places. Rome enslaved peoples from all over europe. Slave traders from Europe and America didn’t introduce Africa to slavery. Africa was already fighting wars and enslaving each other across the entire continent. That is where the slave trade came from. They enslaved europeans if they got caught there. They had slaves to sell and Europeans found that they wanted to use them. It was a global problem and any peoples left in Africa are just as guilty of it as any European or American. Which is to say, not at all, because all of those people have been dead for two generations.
Well, domestic bees are invasive. I wonder if they are going to try to feed this to wild bees… Probably not. Still, I want domestic bees to flourish, because I like honey, so I’m not that mad.
It’s the truth. Sorry? Do you think the slave traders were parking outside Africa, ranging across the continent, and grabbing people with big nets?
Well, these guys aren’t working, as far as I’m concerned, if they can do it without bringing out a mouse and real keyboard and probably a second monitor. (My laptop bag is pretty heavy.) They can at best be checking emails.
Definitely finding a cafe with a plug. I don’t want to be outside.

All the TVs nowadays are pretty obnoxious with their bars staying up for a few seconds too long between turning them on and switching to the source. I suppose that might be the price we pay when we get a 75" for under $500. My samsung TV forced me to accept an update I didn’t ask for and approve the changed “terms of service” as if I read that. I could have given them rights to my firstborn for all I know.
Looking at that floof caused me to realize that it has been a decade or so since the last time I held a kitten. I wonder what shipping is like on one of these. Looking at the other boxes, I think it will come dented.
Co-pilot slowed down my work machine to near unusable, and they make it pretty hard to get rid of. I’m not anti-AI at all and I hate co-pilot because of how it was deployed. Windows in general got in the habit of hiding options from users and installing things like security that bogs down the computer more than helps but can’t be easily turned off.
