Only when forced to by the phone breaking, switching providers, or, as in the case of my last phone, when they shut down a network (2G).

I got a Pantum laser printer and it’s free of all the rent-a-printer crap that the big ones are pulling now. It was easy to set up with my Linux system too.

Playing hypothetical games like this are poisonous to a relationship. My advice is to not do that kind of thing anymore.

All parakeets are parrots but not all parrots are parakeets.

Eclectus are gorgeous. The males are emerald green with orange beaks. They have the most sexual dimorphism of any of the parrot family.

Just a nitpick, that bird is not a parakeet. It’s a female eclectus parrot.

There are a number of parakeet species so referring to a bird as a parakeet isn’t specific. The most common parrot kept as pets are budgerigars, or budgies. Which is the one I think you were referring to.

Parrots being a special interest of mine I had to drop this on impulse.

Yes.

My family was secular so I didn’t have religion shoved down my throat as a kid. I got curious about church when I was around 8. I went for a year or so then had an epiphany about how nonsensical it was that a loving god would consign people to hell and stopped going.

I toyed around some with occultism in my teens but have been an atheist ever since. Nothing about religion makes sense and I live in the material, rational world.

I’ve bought three versions of NMS over the years due to platform changes and at one point a snapped disc.

Hello Games also has other titles and they’re a small dev team. They’re an example of what game companies could do if they wanted to, rather than strangling the player base with microtransactions.

Michael Moorcock is classic, I’m not sure what’s in that volume but he rarely disappoints.

Nalo Hopkinson and Nisi Shawl are afrofuturists, and I love their work.

The rest I don’t really know but the price is right.

ClipGrab still works. But it’s a program, not an extension.

The only purpose to life is to live it. Beyond that, you have to find the meaning that suits you for yourself.

A grief support group could be what you need. Check with her oncologist or your doctor to find one.

I don’t struggle with it. When the end finally comes it will bring peace the likes of which I’ve never experienced. Life’s been hard and as I age, my body is breaking down in little annoying ways that add up into a larger annoyance. The only thing I fear about the end is dying in pain.

Get real. There’s no having a rational discussion, you’re not rational.

We’ve got a planet full of intelligent beings we’re busy killing off, so we’ve never been alone. We’re just too speciesist to accept their existence as our equals.

If there were aliens and they had any sense at all they’d quarantine our planet and never let us off it.

Oh, please. If they were really alien they wouldn’t have any DNA in common with us at all. And until samples of the “aliens” are provided to multiple scientists and labs across the globe for peer review, this is just horseshit wishful thinking.

The Addams Family.

Thank you. The other one had an emergency vet visit yesterday and I’m waiting nervously for her usual wake up time to see if she’s still alive.

One of my birds died a few months back and I cried in terror for the other one (who is still sick on and off). Up until then I thought all my tears had been burned out by a 15 year family court struggle with my abusive ex.

One of the top reasons I finally went Linux and I don’t regret making the change one bit.
