I'm new to Mastodon and looking for a good Facebook alternative. I live in London UK and love music films hifi and computers. I also like RC Cars the kit ones.
Interesting morning. Decided to walk to Kensington London (not far from me in Hammersmith) to get a bargain Waitrose curry. Took a bus from halfway cause I'm getting a cold. Couldn't find Waitrose at first, went to lovely yet pricey Whole Foods and got a drink and snack. On the way home noticed Waitrose, went in but their curry deal (£1.69 butter chicken, 70 rice) doesn't start till 11am.
Had a cheeky ale on the way home, popped into the bank, back home all is sorted. Will get curry later.
An estimated 50 million people died from the bubonic plague back in the day. That would never happen now. We have antibiotics that can treat it. Conditions that prevent it. Because of energy. This is why disease is most prevalent in areas of energy poverty.
@nev I am unsure what the flight time of a drone would be for this but surely having a bunch and charging them automatically would be cheaper than parking enforcement officers?
I just had an idea that drone based traffic control would be really cool and much cheaper. I don't mean traffic, though maybe, I mean parking control where a drone goes around photographing license plates, parking tickets and improperly parked vehicles and sends back details to a central enforcement system. Perhaps it could place tickets too. I think this would be cheap and easy.
Looks like a few academic papers on it and they are implementing something in Namibia (?!)
a generation so ironic it had to invent the interjection “real talk,”
@Elizafox BS I reckon.
@dona that's really beautiful, well done.

*you look down to check how much more of the video there is:*
@fabre_gregori thanks, just installed. I wanted to get into Python a few months ago but didn't complete the web tutorials. Maybe this will be the push I need.
@natecull Although they switched from an EU based distributor to a UK one, the problems were nothing to do with Brexit as I understand it. Just teething problems under the new distro contract. So... yeah.

I am having canned beer for the first time in like a month and it tastes kind of stale but I don't mind it.
@gargron
I didn't join today, but I came from a tech podcast on youtube that mentioned Mastodon.

Can a cat give you ringworm? Sounds nasty.
@plesuvius totally worth it! Around here, cats are nearly always kept as indoor critters. They live longer indoors, anyway. Have a window it could reach to sunbathe?
My friend has a litterbox (omega paw, I think) that rolls to sift the mess into a smaller tray so it's easy to empty daily. Alid helps contain the smell in between. (One cat does hate the lid and uses a plain tray). There are lots of variations on that theme.
If you adopt one, please post pictures! :D
kurdish activist about twitter:
#Twitter;
-Suspended some 10 accounts I created to simply report on Kurdish matters
-Deletes my tweets without asking me
-Withheld my account in Turkey, keeps harrassing me by sending Turkish court orders
-is now hiding ALL my notifications
But @Twitter is a free speech platform.
I want a cat but I live in a basement flat. There is some outside space but it's mainly concrete and no grass area or whatever. Anyone have experience of a cat in this kind of space? It's big enough I just think I would be dealing with a litter tray or similar and that could get stinky. My mum has a cat that I love, and my upstairs neighbour has a cat even though he has NO outside space. Worth considering?
Not such a good day today / yesterday (GMT). My schizophrenia symptoms are getting me down again. Bright side, I am back on my medication for a couple weeks now and I don't feel like things are getting out of hand as they have sometimes in the past. I wish all of you good mental health.
tooooooooooooooot
