No it was something else. IIRC, Bitchat is more useful for public communication. It seems similar to Meshtastic; they support both public and private messaging

I saw someone mention that Bitchat would be a better fit for their situation than Briar. I'm not really familiar enough with either to know for sure, but I suppose it couldn't hurt to install both
So, using this model as an example:
Single jewel quartz mechanism
For $300, that's a bit of a turn-off. I'd prefer a mechanical movement — even a cheap-but-reliable Seiko ~~NH35~~ (edit: maybe the no-date NH38) movement would do.
There are some nice quartz movements that might be acceptable too, but if they don't specify which movement it is, then it's probably not great.
It has a sapphire crystal, which is pretty much expected at that price range (though Seiko is still a bit behind on this), so it seems kinda odd not to specify which movement is in there.
Aside from the specs, I suppose the rest comes down to build/finish quality, which is hard to gauge without seeing it in person.
Personally, I'd want better specs for those prices. However, I'm more of a watch nerd than an art/design nerd. I wouldn't know how to put a price on the art of those designs. Hopefully they're built well.
Ah, interesting. Has it been working effectively? I could imagine ICE attempting to lure them away using a whistle of their own to create a false alarm.
Is there a specific whistle that they use? If any whistle will do, I can vouch for this one. It's really loud.
🤔 ah, I suppose that makes sense
Yep. When I visit Lemmy, it tends to feel like a dark place. I don't think news and politics should be dialed down to zero, but the overall negativity here is a bit heavy, and likely a deal-breaker for many exploring Lemmy for the first time.
For comparison to another decentralized social media platform: Nostr generally seems like a pretty positive place. The people tend to be friendly, and it's quite common to see them saying "good morning" to each other for seemingly no reason (aside from having a nice morning, I suppose). Conversations generally seem civil and mature. Unfortunately, there's LOT of Bitcoin stuff to wade through over there.
What does a kitchen server do?
What's the whistle for? I think I may be out of the loop on this.
Why (and how to) cook a PB&J?
🤔 are you like an anti-spam spambot?
Riley entered my life in 2008. I still remember that day. I found her on Craigslist, paid a $60 "rehoming fee", and she sat on my lap as I drove home with my new puppy. I was young and broke, living alone, and could barely afford my bills. It was an irresponsible decision to get a dog at that point in life, but I'm so glad that I was able to make it work.
She was a mix of two retrievers: Her mother was a chocolate lab and her father was a golden retriever. Somehow all of their puppies were black.
I had some experience with dogs before her, but I did not know about the amount of affection that retrievers are capable of. As I was getting to know her, I was pleasantly surprised to learn that she loved hugs so much, she even initiated them! Literally the sweetest dog I've ever met.
She was very smart. I was able to teach her most of her tricks in like ~10 mins each, while heating up frozen pizzas or whatever cheap garbage I ate back then.
She was the most consistent part of my bumpy path in life. She has been with me through tough breakups, my parents' deaths, career changes, and many other ups and downs that come with adulthood.
She's also the oldest retriever I've ever met. She would have been 17 years old next week.
We were together until her last breath. With my hand on her chest, I felt her final heartbeat.
And I will remember her until mine.
Riley was such a good girl.

No. That would require too many jars, and seems like a waste of ammo.
