@kity Could be; certainly my concentration is shot. The CO2 must have taken it all and there is none left for anyone else.
@kity Oh right, that whole "400ppm" thing...
It's been a disconcerting day, so it's unsurprising to find myself forgetting known things.
@aud "Yes friends we got trouble! With a capital T which rhymes with P that stands for People!"
Inside you there are two* lungs.
Feed them both a mixture of O2 and Nitrogen, with maybe 2% CO2 (I think?) and optionally a few trace amounts of other non-toxic gases.
(WARNING: The above describes a process known as "breathing", which can lead to death or other adverse side-effects. Consult a doctor or pharmacist to determine the exact amounts of O2, Nitrogen, and CO2 that are right for you. Offer void where prohibited by laws of physics; not available in some states of matter.)
(* If the actual number is less, then I'm sorry life has treated you like that. Truly. Fully-repairable bodies when.)
You're not wrong.
The problem then becomes communication -- I have yet to successfully get across the idea that they might want a better platform, and that I can help with that.
The usual reaction is that anything else would be too new, so nobody would use it.
I should probably try again... but kinda overloaded in general right now.
I'm in Durham, NC -- Tuscaloosa / Lakewood area. I know there are groups near me, but the only online presence I've found so far is Facebook, which is kind of a non-starter.
Whyizzit that pharmacies will go to the trouble of deploying a chatbot that has to (1) connect to a voice-line, (2) translate text-information into spoken words and then translate spoken words (possibly over a bad connection) back into text, (3) also deal with the beginning and ending of the conversation...
...instead of just having a chatbot?
(...or even having a chatbot as an option?? ...since they've already automated the "act on natural-language information and respond to it in natural-language" bit...)
@welshpixie I probably should be creating some, being an admin an' all, but I keep forgetting that the feature exists...
@cathywilcox THANK YOU for standing up against the stupid "Palestinians are human" = "antisemitism" equivalence. This has got to stop.
I am very bad at f2f socializing; that's why I do most of my work in the online/software space.
I have often thought about this, and I keep coming back to the idea that we need a "dark" backup network that has its own DNS-equivalent.
I think the tech for this must already be out there (not sure if Tor is adequate; I'm not an expert; there's definitely newer tech which might be applicable) -- but I mean more the institutions and resources.
@riley I'm always trying to think of ways to make protein powder more edible and less work... I used to regularly get one of those full-nutritional powders (inspired by Soylent but done better, from what I can tell), but it felt like rather more work (and not much cheaper) than frozen dinners.
@faithisleaping Well, why be just one tran?
(This would be funnier if I was a plural system... I mean, if we were... but we're not, I mean I'm not... as far as we I know... unless there's something the others aren't telling me. š¤Ø)
[I hereby release all rights for this joke to any plural systems who would like to use it.]
