I wonder when we'll hear from all the congresspeople and judges who bitched about the Biden admin asking Meta to remove COVID misinformation.

Lol, jk

Edit: Or when the Hunter Biden laptop story was suppressed for less than one day and they bitched and held hearings about it for 2 years.

I Am Your Beast. It's a little indie single player FPS game where you have to beat levels quickly. It's almost like a puzzle where you figure out tricks to beat levels faster. It has a neat progression system that forces you to go back and replay levels to get secondary objectives.

Best to assume anything you do on the internet is visible to the feds if they want to look for it.

That said, I think its safe to assume they have better visibility into services running on US infrastructure. Rednote currently uses entirely China based servers, so probably it's safer from US government snooping. Doesn't mean they can't can't connect your account to your real identity through other means, though.

I've seen a couple posts on a Honda Accord forum complaining about the same problem on fairly new cars. No solution posted unfortunately.

I don't think it's likely just interference, or it would be something you hear about happening with other manufacturers since they all use the same frequency. I also don't think it would be so persistent.

Someone had a theory that it's some kind of interference that triggers a security lockout on the car, trying to stop a brute force attack. Sounds possible, but it's just a wild guess with no data.

I have one of those and it's pretty intuitive once you get it setup. It's great for CAD and 3d modeling.

The downside is the price of them, but you can sometimes find companies unloading their older models on eBay for a more reasonable price.

That's a Honeywell T6. It's really easy to replace, theres a separate part that retains the wires that you can keep attached to the wall. IIRC, it's just one screw on the bottom and then it pops off.

You can find open box/used ones on eBay for less than $50. There's an installer menu on these thermostats, go into that and mark down the settings, and set the new one up the same way. You'll find a PDF of the installers manual online that can tell you how to get into the menu, or I can help you.

Aye-Aye:

The Aye-Aye is the world's largest nocturnal primate. It is characterized by its unusual method of finding food: it taps on trees to find grubs, then gnaws holes in the wood using its forward-slanting incisors to create a small hole into which it inserts its narrow middle finger to pull the grubs out. This foraging method is called percussive foraging.

Greater mouse-eared bat:

Like its relatives, the greater mouse-eared bat is an insectivore, feeding on various arthropods; however, unlike many bats, it does not capture its prey by using echolocation in flight. Instead, it gleans it from the ground, locating prey passively by listening for the noises produced by insects

There's a Chuppl video about Havana syndrome that pretty well convinced me that something real is affecting at least some of these people. I'm not sure what the cause is, but it seems beyond the realm of a mass psychogenic illness. Like physical brain damage that is visible on tests, symptoms that you can see that are basically impossible to fake, like pupil reaction and their eyes tracking separately.

I don't know what any of it means, but the fact that the CIA wants the public to think it's a mass psychogenic illness makes me think they did it somehow.

Massachusetts released a list of the top 15 highest paid state employees recently. All of the people of the list worked at UMass(coaches, chancellor, etc), except one person.

Massachusetts State Police Detectives Captain Thomas McCarthy, made a salary of $548,072 with $349,815 of overtime pay. He's an pig with a long history of misconduct, including a recent incident where he fled a traffic stop by a local police officer after the officer said he smelled like alcohol. He has collected over 4mil in compensation over his career and will get a pension based on this inflated pay.

Massachusetts has this corrupt system where officers can get assigned traffic details. These were originally meant to be for road projects that needed someone directing traffic, but most details now consist of a lazy pig sitting in a police car on the side of the road.

Peregrine Falcon:

During a stoop, peregrines may reach speeds of 200 mph. The air pressure from this bullet-like plunge might burst an ordinary bird’s lungs. It’s thought that the series of baffles in a peregrine’s nostrils slow the wind velocity, enabling the bird to breathe while diving.
