No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

In other news, Buffista Island?

I feel like that may be where And Then There Were None takes place.

I love that they describe it as "detached"!

Considering the potential sea level increases coming, maybe it would be better to find a mountain retreat.

Yeah, my focus has been on where to donate, where to volunteer, who still needs campaign money. Installing Signal on my phone to provide herd immunity to activists being tracked by the government. Subscribing to WaPo. I also need to set up VPN on my home computer and start calling people in Congress, but I hate talking on the phone so I need to work up to that.

Unrelated, does anyone know of a class about designing online surveys?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

My office chair just ripped while I was sitting on it. So now I'm watching tv instead of working.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

In other news, Buffista Island?

Only if it's in international waters.

Considering the potential sea level increases coming, maybe it would be better to find a mountain retreat.

...and able to fly.

(Ok, Buffista Space Station. What I want is a Buffista Space Station.)

Installing Signal on my phone to provide herd immunity to activists being tracked by the government.

What is this?

It's not unbreakable, but using encryption makes it more difficult for government/police to spy on its citizens. The theory is that if only people who need to hide use encryption on their phone, then people in power know exactly who to track. If we all start using encryption, then we make it more difficult for the government to snoop and find targets.
