Attached: 1 image #Today 13 Good day! The weather is just right & it isn’t the weekend, so I’m off for another hike, though nothing as epic as the last. Time for a new area. Rock Creek. Babcock Mountain. I’ve worked hard this last week and need to unwind where cares are carried down the creek. Be everwell. #WritingLife #AmWriting #WritingCommunity #Aging #HealthyLiving #HealthyLifestyle #GetOutside #Hiking #Trails #HikingAdventures #Nature #NaturePhotography #NatureLover #Photography #LandscapePhotography

These are the dirham coin snips from Tune. The coins were struck in the Caliphate. They were cut up like this because the Scandies didn't read Arabic and paid no attention to the denominations. They were interested in the *weight* of silver when paying for something.

Greek DRACHM --> DRHM --> Arabic DIRHAM

To be clear — here is what is happening

DOJ orders ICE to arrest people—even without a judicial warrant

People see these violations of their rights—peacefully protest

LAPD confirms people protested peacefully—as is their Constitutional right

Trump fabricates claim of violence—deploys National Guard

Fascists escalate violence to justify their existence. That’s what Trump is doing. Don’t fall for it. Stand united with our neighbors against this tyranny.

Having been living in downtown LA during the 1992 LA Riots... there is not a riot going on, it's protesters, pissed off people, jumpy cops/military with tear gas. (though, the right wingers would like to spark a riot and/or start a police riot, so the fascists can start shooting people for real). #LosAngeles

It was a long #drive (467 km/290 miles). I briefly saw my #mother in Simpele. But now I'm here in Punkaharju and I can rest. It's a shame that the #spa is not open on Sundays. The program starts tomorrow at 9 am. This is a #wellbeing #holiday. And free for me. My application was approved. It's time to take care of myself instead of everyone else for a change. This hotel was earlier for #Finnish #war veterans. They got physical therapy here. The building is 122 years old #suomimastodon #finland

We were in Canada at Lake Louise once, hiking up from that beautiful glacial lake. High above (!) already we heard a woman down in a canoe begin to sing opera (no idea what.)

It went on FOREVER, and I can't imagine how many people heard her from that natural amphitheater.

We've never forgotten it. I just can't...

@dec23k @negative12dollarbill @intrepidhero @killyourfm Has this been tried? How many times I just wanted to have a quiet life and someone had a bluetooth speaker
Show threadDec.tar.gz6d ago

@catzilla @negative12dollarbill @intrepidhero @killyourfm
I have not tried it myself.
There are many similar projects on github; I just pasted two of them.

Some experimenting with antenna gain (and random timers) may be needed, to get one to actually work in the conditions where someone might want a quiet life.

There are also plenty of commercial products that cost more than a couple of ESP32 boards.

Show threadDec.tar.gz6d ago

@catzilla @negative12dollarbill @intrepidhero @killyourfm
I would imagine that a constant Bluetooth 'jam' signal would be easier to detect (and avoid) than a short-lived interruption at very random intervals.

Some of the available projects might already have this option.

we went for a stroll around this really nice little lake, but one of the other kids decided to absolutely fucking blare ed sheeran and other trash through his bluetooth speakers, and no one said anything against it.

@mansr @killyourfm May I offer a third choice: Killed by his buddy and left to be eaten by bears. The perfect crime. (You don’t commit a murder at a perfectly good body-dump site and then take the body with you to a secondary location. That’s Murder 101.)
Show threadsu_liam5d ago
@Merk_94 @mansr @killyourfm A secondary dump site does help to obscure details of the crime from investigators. One would not, however, pack the body all the way back to a relatively-crowded trailhead. Just another point in bear country a few miles from the kill site should do. Just a word to the wise psychopath…
Show threadMerk5d ago
@su_liam @mansr @killyourfm An excellent point I hadn’t considered. If you commit the murder in the wilderness, you have the advantage of being able to move the body without significant risk of discovery. If you DON’T have miles of empty wilderness to work with, it’s probably safer to kill at the dump site.
