Great to see some non Western / European art.

An increasing supply of ledger books and other paper came from traders, government agents, missionaries, and military officers.[7] With these came pencils, ink fountain pens, crayons, and watercolor paints.[8][9] These new tools allowed for greater detail and experimentation than the earlier tools, such as bone or wood styli dipped in mineral pigments, had. The compact ledger books and pencils were highly portable, making them ideal for nomadic lifestyles.[10]

Unless there’s some state level tax implications or a car that’s sensitive to rust in the desert that makes the car more or less valuable. I don’t see why the national average can’t be used?

There’s an argument to say a state with a lower average income should have lower fines, but really then might as well have fines based on income / networth

In the UK we have https://www.parkers.co.uk/car-valuation/select-manufacturer/

In the USA I think there’s an equivalent.

All four Canonical Gospels state that during Jesus’s Last Supper with his disciples, he predicted that Peter would deny knowledge of him, stating that Peter would disown him before the rooster crowed the next morning.

Following the arrest of Jesus, Peter denied knowing him three times, but after the third denial, he heard the rooster crow and recalled the prediction as Jesus turned to look at him. Peter then began to cry bitterly. This final incident is known as the Repentance of Peter.

In his sermons he denounced heresy and also those Catholics who professed the Faith by words, but acted contrary to it in deeds. Crowds came to meet him and followed him; conversions were numerous,[2] including many Cathars who returned to the Catholic church.

Because of this, a group of Milanese Cathars conspired to kill him. They hired an assassin, Carino of Balsamo. Carino’s accomplice was Manfredo Clitoro of Giussano. On April 6, 1252, when Peter was returning from Como to Milan, the two assassins followed Peter to a lonely spot near Barlassina, and there killed him and mortally wounded his companion, a fellow friar named Domenico.[3]

The master in master branch is, I’d assume, from the idea of Master copy which refers to the original of something, eg a recording, drawing, etc. https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/master-copy

I’m not hugely tied to the word, and things change … So meh.

Just what I was thinking! It could easily be Dirk Pitt.

The medieval road looks like concrete, but I would have expected it to be just a mud track.

More context for those who had a more secular (or non Christian) upbringing.

Thanks, I looked for a proper share link as editing on mobile is a PITA.

There are cheaper options with rather fewer features. Link updated from below, thanks! https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006953014233.html

What a great image. Thanks, I’ve a new phone wallpaper now.

I think that’s a good idea, my solution is to mute group chats and check them when I’m free, but it’s not ideal for the reasons you’ve mentioned.

In whatsapp there’s only the option to mute the chat.

In discord there’s granular level of control that allows me to mute everything but direct notifications (@d00ery).

But if you implemented such a feature, how would you limit it?

i.e. one notification for the first message and then mute all replies for 5 mins? What happens when that one person who always replies an hour later messages?

Could we use AI to check if the conversation is still related to the original message?

From a dev perspective there’s all sorts of solutions but I wonder how would one find the sweet spot.

It also looks a little spacious for an aircraft of that age.

Very cool space whatever it may be!

He must be aware of the parallels between Twitter and MS?

He must be just generating publicity for himself.

This is neat solution, you’ll lose the laptop WiFi internet access though.

You can set the pi to connect to the phone WiFi by editing files on the SD card (using your laptop)

• Portainer
• Calibre

• Kodi

HDMI cable straight to the living room Smart TV (which is not connected to the internet).

Other devices access media (TV shows, movies, books, comics, audiobooks) using VLC DLNA. Except for e-readers which just use the Calibre web UI.

Main router is flashed with OpenWrt and running DNS adblocker. Ethernet running to 2nd router upstairs and to main PC. Small WiFi repeater with ethernet in the basement. It’s not a huge house, but it does have old thick walls which are terrible for WiFi propogation.
