@SolSoCoG I know... add to that the sound of peoples heartbeats and them breathing, it's awful!

@lain How does it compare with mastodon? Do you have a link to it?
Excellent dinner tonight. Scrambled eggs with smoked salmon. Recommended!

Sterna Mail just landed on F-Droid 🐦
A private, native Android email client for JMAP (and classic IMAP/SMTP). No ads, no tracking, no Google services.
Reproducible builds too, verified by F-Droid. It only took me three attempts to make two computers produce the exact same bytes, which I'm told is called "determinism".
@Bernard I'd love to see him try. That would be entertainment.
@ammonios Ahh.. the linkweli!

New type of monkey dropped, no not the ones on the right side of the image!
@Limdwe Were they very beautiful women? I cannot recommend this trade today. The golden era of travel is long gone.
I have relatives who worked in the travel industry during the golden era, and then it was apparently fun and full of perks.
@sun Japan?

I am listening to ufo/alien youtubes while I work, and by and large they are a total waste of mental space, there is nothing to be learned here
@sun This should be obvious to most, if not all people. If there was undisputable proof of aliens, it would be common knowledge by now.
It can still be entertainment though, but hardly something which develops your mind.
@sun You must then do something interesting, read, relax, go fishing. Meditate, pray. There are many ways.
@Kalogerosstilitis2RevengeoftheJunta @EvilSandmich @thefinn So you would say that the US got the upper hand around ww2?
@EvilSandmich @Kalogerosstilitis2RevengeoftheJunta @thefinn This is very sad, but at the same time, natural. Industrialists and businessmen follow the path of least resistance. I started my business in eastern europe and not in western europe because the taxes were about 4x lower. This has benefitted me enormously! Sadly the east has not learned its lesson and taxes are slowly starting to creep up to western european levels. If the trend continues, I'll have to move again in a few years.
@Kalogerosstilitis2RevengeoftheJunta @EvilSandmich @thefinn If that is the case, why did England lose the advantage? And when did it happen?

Somewhat off-topic so quote poasting, sorry.
This always brings to mind an observation from @thefinn that Americans seem unique in their interest in religious cults/fanaticism. I extended this, musing, that perhaps there is a genetic component to this since so much of our European stock left Europe due to extreme religious or political reasons (and of course the defeat of The South in the Civil War did not help). For as many times as I've posted on that it doesn't have a lot of appeal even here so perhaps I should rethink it.🤔
Anyway, it's worth remembering too that negro worship was in full swing here more than 100 years ago with BigAg pushing Mrs. Butterworth as the sales icon for food and George Washington Carver as the lawn jockey put up by Southern farmers to make peanut tariffs appealing.
