@stargirl This is Bo getting laser therapy after his second knee replacement. Today he runs around like nothing ever happened. Whatever you have going on can likely be made better. Hang in there.

@ai6yr My mother was a nurse for over 40 years. She 100% believes the full moon thing. She is in no way superstitious.

@tino I am not a nerd (I don't think) but I do all of this with a much more complicated web site (php, back end database, etc.), plus dozens of email addresses, plus Owncloud, plus Mastodon. I pay US$20/month but you could get by with half that or possibly less. My service has one-click installs for a bunch of apps, too. If you don't want Owncloud for an email/calendar/contacts client, hosting services usually have Roundcube or something similar right out of the box. You can do this!

@stux YES!!! I have been saying this for decades. Everyone looks at me like I have two heads when I say it. I have never heard anyone else express this point of view. SO glad to find others who get it.

@The_Whore_of_Blahbylon The made-for-TV movie "The Day After" (1983) does a good job showing the aftermath. Apparently this film scared Ronald Reagan into rethinking some of his positions on nuclear war.

@The_Whore_of_Blahbylon I grew up in the 70s and 80s. Today I teach history. It is basically impossible to convey the zeitgeist of the cold war to people born after the early 80s. My students all think they would survive a nuclear war by hanging out in their basements for a few days. My advice: go outside and, if you see a missile, try to catch it; you do NOT want to live in the aftermath of a full-scale nuclear war.

@aral U.S. citizen here. I love my country (and yours!) but now is not the time to come here. We cannot guarantee your safety and you would be normalizing Nazis. Wait until they are all in jail or in exile. We WILL get rid of them.
