I live somewhere small so I get to directly vote for things like the library or police budget. I also work the polls and have held a local elected office for 14 years. I preside over abatement hearings where we can just decide to abate a $3000 water bill of someone with a leaky toilet and bad hearing. It was a bit of a long game, anarchism-wise but I&#39;m ok with it. Voting is often ineffective but it&#39;s also usually pretty uncomplicated.

First, it is pure coincidence that this is book 77. Also, I have no idea what I thought this book would be, I just knew Chuck Tingle for his heart of gold and his &#34;pounded in the butt&#34; books. This was a book about unlikely events, a weird bout with nothingness both real and imagined, and some truly spectacular carnage.

I think in my case, the user wanted to use the phone as a *scanner* which was what he thought he needed to read a QR code. So kind of camera-like to be honest, a different kind of camera maybe. I definitely never want my phone&#39;s camera to start trying to be clever but I don&#39;t mind if it does things in the camera-scanner-video paradigm.

A collection of Monteiro essays that from a couple of different places, mostly advice to designers especially younger, new-career ones.

I&#39;ve sorted out my car situation and now just have to do the endless twiddling of my car&#39;s settings so it&#39;s not doing things I don&#39;t want it to. I&#39;m sure you can relate. One thing I don&#39;t want it to do is read email. Hope you have a good weekend adjusting things just the way you like them.<br/><br/>Image credit: State Library of New South Wales, on Flickr Commons<br/><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/29454428@N08/6456366655/">https://www.flickr.com/photos/29454428@N08/6456366655/</a><br/> <img src="https://glammr-us.s3.de.io.cloud.ovh.net/media_attachments/files/117/452/404/362/739/650/original/4d9377819c0ced8e.jpeg"> <br/> 2026-10-16T20:11:05Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqspvm2wqf27965emlyhr45cnxvz5xkxxt0p2rrpx4dftg08ggn0nsczyqywzgx5utsx5vvx5ma4rtgmcf99gjenjz6hm4m77r05zlw858ukj4ravum In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsg5gezp2c6ugp5avqs4hm994qpydxvwe97c4uqm3cpdax0tvydxac376zxu'>nevent1q…6zxu</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Oh my gosh, each book has a unique URL where you can read the messages.<br/><br/><a href="https://tautasgramatuplaukts.lv/en/memories-from-my-life/">https://tautasgramatuplaukts.lv/en/memories-from-my-life/</a> 2026-10-16T19:15:00Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs9hfzwg07sq4vx3x52d0qmagsuxvym2hyuw09dd3wq2dpe0tpjr7szyqywzgx5utsx5vvx5ma4rtgmcf99gjenjz6hm4m77r05zlw858ukj5apyhf In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsx6qw7tpu500esaumte87ghwsqwdfnucue647g0fjvm9g8rlfe07qse06w8'>nevent1q…06w8</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Not that I found in the reading I did.

I spent a lot of time re-centering my attention to a neutral space and also reminding myself &#34;Let future Jessamyn think about that.

This thing has both a digital dashboard which is ok and the big stupid tablet (a head unit? I can not call it that). Obviously my 2009 car had a computer, but it made a very small number of decisions that I would have made differently.
