My dreams are wonderfully, remarkably creative. It's really my favorite part about being asleep.
I can't wait for technology to get to the point where I can plug in my brain and offload the storylines. I'd make millions!

For those in the #Foxboro neighborhood, the local chapter of #Rotary is having their almost-annual yard sale at 12 Maple ave until about 1 today.
Lots of odd stuff cheap, but since it benefits a charity feel free to overpay!

Me: Knock Knock
Voice inside: Who's there?
Me: Doorbell repairman.
Voice: Doorbell repairman who?
Me: . . .um, Remember when you heard knocking?

Well, I guess this might have some very specific use later on, but I wonder:
How much does the innate whistle in the middle mask whatever acoustic energy comes out tubes 1&3?
More directionality in concert and theatre audio would be great, but I don't see this tech helping out anytime soon.

The crypto lobby has spent $129 million to elect industry-friendly candidates over the last three election cycles.

Crypto is now one of the largest campaign contributors since Citizens United — second to Big Oil.

For the sake of democracy, we must get big money out of politics.

Ah, I thought the numbers referred to issues or editions, not whole incarnations of the publication.
Thanks.

@gutenberg_org How was the last issue published 46 years before the first one?

I'm new to Mastodon.
Finally joined because Tw!tter notifications were filling up with bots.
What do I need to know? (Besides the rules)
Any conventions or best practices?
Any traditional "user's first week" things to do/check out?
Thanks in advance.
