glans [it/its]

I had a couple friends who were raised to only speak English at home because their parents wanted them to be fluent and native sounding. One of them, the parents only ever learned basic English so as a concequence it is difficult to communicate any complexity. And functionally no communication with extended family.

That’s a very old fashioned viewpoint and now we know extra languages dont ultimately prevent acquisition, although it can slow thing down a bit at first for an individual language.

I think knowing other languages at any level is only a good thing and kids can learn so much easier.

They put the lights behind ports, controls, vents etc that you can’t tape over. And indicator light is helpful I just dont need to read a book with it.

Sometimes spraypaint or model paint works but not suitable to every application.

The edhesive eventually melts down and becomes a sticky mess. Expidided by heat.

I’d like a way to disable all the various way too bright indicator lights.

2000mL of water weighs 2kgs and 355mL weighs about 1/3kg.

To get my mind away from stupid imperial measures of weight, I think of bottles and cans of cola.

(Above is very approximate as sugar, packaging etc have weight. And conventional package size can vary by region.)

Well then it didn’t work. If it ever existed in the first place.

And there were no other replies to my question, so my hypothesis stands. :D

(Tho I looked at this thread on the original instance and it has 96 comments vs 32 here on hb; likely few people saw it due to non-federations.)

Epstein has been dead for years… what did his switch trigger?

Well there are various services that let you disclose info to certain people upon death. examples: https://www.pcmag.com/how-to/how-to-prepare-your-digital-life-accounts-for-your-death

So you could create those and send them to various journalists or whoever you think would be interested. Then ensure in your will that they are notified of your death. Will them a small object or something.

Tbh I think the concept of a dead man switch is fantasy. You always hear about them in place but then nothing happens when the person dies.

Has there EVER been a dead man switch that worked?

It’s been a while (2-3 years) since I looked into this but last time I did, the answer was a big old NO. I found all kinds of discussions of people thinking over this idea without success.

It must be possible. All the pieces are there, and they are Libre. They must simply be put put together. Yet many have asked after it without success. I do not know why it proves so difficult.

Will be happy to learn I am wrong. :)
