mastodon 4.5.5

Recently got a marine science PhD. Now doing data science stuff with river flow data, and learning te reo Māori.

A sci-fi/fantasy nerd, gamer geek (board games, video games, ttrpg), and into fiction writing.

I play tam and agogo in a samba drum and dance band, and occasionally djembe at drum circles.

I enjoy hatha yoga.

Reasonably good cook (specialising in soups and stews), a novice vegetable gardener.

Also: a (probably (undiagnosed)) autistic transgender Chinese-American.

#tusky when I scroll, the screen sometimes now jumps. It looks exactly like what happens while scrolling on Facebook etc when the app suddenly loads up a new picture (ad :p) above where you're looking. Please make it stop.

I find myself in possession of a solar panel. It has a plug outlet that is round with two round holes in it. Does anyone have any idea whether this connector has a name, and/or what I could plug this into (other than the out-of-production system it originally belonged to)?

Just tried to make some phone calls and got dead silence. I guess they've turned off 3G. Hopefully I won't have any emergencies while away from wifi anytime soon. >.>

Yesterday the power company sent notice that electricity will become more expensive in April.

Is there such a thing as a class action lawsuit here? I would like to accuse the gentailers of extortion. How would I do that?

RE: @zkarj@mastodon.nz

I actually have the opposite problem to this. I am considering buying a car, after not having one since I sold my last one right before leaving the U.S.

The main reason I need a car is to get a full driver's license, which requires a car to practice in and test in. I've already figured out that it needs to be an automatic (so my spouse's car is out). (No I can't just rent a car because they don't let people without full drivers' licenses rent cars.)

The main reason I need a full driver's license is so I can apply for jobs that require them. After which I'd probably drive workplace cars. But if the car I bought was an EV, we could then replace my spouse's ICE car.

But. Licensing, registration, taxes, insurance, warrants of fitness multiple times per year, maintenance, repairs. :( All things that cost an enormous amount of money and a fair amount of mental overhead to keep track of. All things that I've been immensely enjoying not having to think about at all for the past 8 years.

(There's also the side problem that modern cars all seem to have touchscreens and are designed to spy on you for the manufacturer, which are both big minuses. But that's a whole tangent about living in modern times.)

@cstross@wandering.shop using the American people as hostages sounds exactly like something they would do.
