@Asianking@dingdash.com I do a lot of big projects with commercial construction in the US and most of the time when I see construction in other parts of the world I just shake my head realizing that people work with what they have. That looks proper, good job!

@Citizenzibb@fosstodon.org @penny @mia@nazrin.moe After years of asking me for a meat grinder, I finally got my wife one last anniversary. Best way to make burgers by far and it isn't too hard to clean.

For me it began when when I was 7-10 and came almost exclusively from movies and books, though my librarian had been part of the civil rights movement and told us stories. Freedom was something mentioned often in church, but at that age it didn't really click. The Call of the Wild, White Fang, Little House Books, Roots, Snow Treasure, and The Dairy of Anne Frank all seemed to have had a profound impact on me.

A lot of you are advocates of freedom and privacy. People aren't born valuing these things, but must learn one way or another. Many people never learned, and younger generations don't miss what they never had. When/how did you learn to value freedom and privacy?

@Daintress Different clients handle the way this was posted differently. Sometimes it will just say, "Show More". Seemed like a good way to break up a Q&A.

It was in the 90's(33C) this weekend and we had a bit of a temperature drop yesterday.

@Citizenzibb@fosstodon.org @MaryMamuzich @Bonnie She is. She put off so many of the things she enjoyed while raising us and it is good to see her finally doing something for herself. She's pushing 70 and doing better than a lot of people my age!

@d4klutz Whatever happened to Lori Petty?

@rixx What do you mean? Do you wish me an amazing morning, or mean that it is an amazing morning whether I want it or not; or that you feel amazing this morning; or that it is a morning to be amazing on?

@dallin@librem.one I haven't checked out Picard, but TNG made a big impact on the world. Think I'll try to do a re-watch in the near future too.

My mother, having a blast!

@Asianking@dingdash.com Our church felt the same way and rented spaces for ~30 years. Having large groups at houses, even if there is plenty of room (100 acres), gets shut down by the government. Real estate prices soared here and eventually we decided to buy and renovate an old church 5 years ago. You would cry if I told you what our mortgage cost. Now we can't really utilize our building because of Covid19.

“It is too light a thing that you should be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel. I will also give you as a light to the nations, that you may be my salvation to the end of the earth.”

@Cherishingsparrows2020 My company had to lay off 10% of its employees today. I was not one of them, but thank you for reminding me of the relief I have from trusting in Yahweh; even in small short term things.

@brainblasted Just like the Tortoise and the Hare, devices based on the principles of freedom will overtake the devices based on the principles of slavery. Things based on a good foundation stand the test of time and take time. Things that are shortsighted and rushed get forgotten about. Big tech knows this and that is why they fight tooth and nail to retain users, even at the cost of selling them. They don't stand a chance of winning, unless we let them.

Marx vs Spurgeon, a good read.
