items: lnxw48a1: I sent the link to #A1, but it is already past his bedtime, so I also sent it to #Daddy_A to watch with the nine year old.
items: lnxw48a1: From #Daddy_A: > The day nurse is what you would be like if you had chosen medical instead of tech. Yes, another hospitalization.
items: lnxw48a1: #Daddy_A reports that the #microBit and #Arduino kits have arrived.
items: lnxw48a1: While I was here, I bought a rice cooker that also serves as a slow cooker. I shipped it to #Daddy_A, because this assignment is nearing its end.
items: lnxw48a1: I told #Daddy_A that the kids can share this. I am not buying two more. https://nu.federati.net/attachment/285665
items: lnxw48a1: Gave #sonOne and #sonTwo my shopping list for whenever I'm able to visit. I don't expect to have more than one day with #Daddy_A unless he's able to meet at a central location.
items: lnxw48a1: I saw character pajamas on sale, so I'm pacing around the children's clothing section waiting for #Daddy_A to tell me what size #A3 wears. He's already given me her brothers's sizes.
items: lnxw48a1: @geniusmusing It does. Especially since #Daddy_A had phone problems, so he never replied and didn't get into a videochat either. And #sonOne was working.
items: lnxw48a1: This discussion sort of got started because someone sent 64GiB of RAM to #Daddy_A, so he could use his computer for his new temp-to-hire job.
items: lnxw48a1: Got to talk with #Daddy_A and #A1 for about half an hour today.
items: lnxw48a1: #Daddy_A really likes his new keyboard.
items: lnxw48a1: Hopefully, #Daddy_A can use a new keyboard, because I sent him one.
items: lnxw48a1: LOL. When I ordered "It's Hard to be Five", I sent it to my SoCal home, not to #Daddy_A's home. #A2 is just going to have to wait a while.
items: lnxw48a1: #Daddy_A tells me that #A1 is excited about the #MaxMeow books.
items: lnxw48a1: I did inquire whether #Daddy_A has sufficient warm clothes and blankets to keep the family warm if power goes out. The answer was "Yes!" with the exclamation point.
items: lnxw48a1: #Daddy_A is in an upgrade cycle for his computer. I sent the parts to build it 3 or 4 years back. Now he's got a faster Ryzen CPU and double the RAM. Definitely beyond anything I own.

title: lnxw48a1: I've been talking with #sonTwo and #Daddy_A about getting a 1 year subscription to https://www.crunchlabs.com/ for #GS3 and #A1. For the soon-to-be 4 year old, I think we should get the kits and set them aside along with instructions and downloaded videos, so he will have them in 2027 even if the program is no longer in operation. For the soon-to-be 10 year old, I wish I had known about this when he was 8.

title: lnxw48a1: In 2021, my half son #Daddy_A, who was over 300lb / 136kg, lost 75lb / 34kg in 90 days due to a previously unsuspected genetic mutation. He had a mild form of skin cancer, so they prescribed a topical chemotherapy drug. For most people, this has no side effects because the tiny bit that gets into the bloodstream gets broken down in the liver pretty quickly. For him, it was like he was on traditional chemo ... nausea and vomiting, diarrhea. By the time they tested for the genetic issue, they already knew from the symptoms that it was there. The weight loss meant that his back injury symptoms lessened, so his next two surgeries are postponed. He has been hospitalized multiple times this year for yet another issue, but he's home and says he's looking forward to a better 2023. (It does mean that if he gets another form of cancer, chemotherapy is probably not an option.)

title: lnxw48a1: Speaking of losing your faculties as you get older, I used to be able to drop into the original time I heard a song and re-experience it again ... and same with conversations. It wasn't FOREVER, but up to a few years. I even used that ability when #sonTwo and #Daddy_A were teens. They'd be talking and I wasn't listening at all. Then one of them would say a word that piqued my interest, so I'd re-hear part of their conversation ... this time paying attention. But this ability is gone now.

title: lnxw48a1: At one time, #Daddy_A had a small amount of #BTC ( #Bitcoin ), a small amount of #BCH ( Bitcoin Cash https://bitcoincash.org/ ) and an even smaller amount of #BSV ( Bitcoin Satoshi's Vision https://bitcoinsv.com/ ). I should ask him whether he still has any #cryptocurrency. It sounds like BSV had some good ideas, but I think most of those were already in the pipeline before BSV split from BCH. I'm talking about things like increasing the block size, so that more transactions can be processed in each ten minute interval. BSV currently has a market-determined variable block size and BCH has a 32MB block size. The original BTC still uses 1MB ... which causes contention for fewer slots inside the block, and raises both transaction costs and the average wait time for transactions to process. AFAIK, BSV is the only member of the Bitcoin family to give major attention to smart contracts ... including creating a new scripting language ( "sCrypt":{https://scrypt.io/} ) to make them easier. IMO, "smart contracts" make it easier to create non-financial applications for #blockchains and other ledgers. BSV is also tainted by Craig Wright's claim to be Satoshi Nakamoto, the inventor of Bitcoin. https://www.coindesk.com/layer2/2022/10/21/in-craig-wright-verdict-reality-prevails/

title: lnxw48a1: I got a little bit of good news today. #Daddy_A and his wife have been struggling to pay their bills as they’ve faced repeated hospitalizations. He had informed me that they were probably going to have to move (the house they rent came with a really nice deal) into a much smaller place. Today he said they are staying put. At least one more month. (One thing he did not express is whether any jobs were lost. But I already knew from #sonTwo that my half-son had already lost his job.)

title: lnxw48a1: https://nu.federati.net/url/288708 [www commondreams org] There's a lot that I disagree with the Republicans about, but I will always and forever support the charter school concept, even if some such schools should be closed. Both #sonTwo and #Daddy_A attended charter schools after their public schools were unresponsive to our requests to meet their needs. At the time, I was making very little money, so paying for a private school was out of reach. Charter schools take from the giant pot of money that our public schools use, but they are schools that parents can choose to apply to send their kids to, or choose to move their kids back to public schools. School choice takes the power away from educrats and gives it back to parents, where it belongs.

title: lnxw48a1: In the middle early 1990s, I remember wanting to start a "Desert Launch Project" to build a commercial space launch facility in one of California's desert areas. At the time, I was outside of any urban or even micro-urban municipal boundaries, and the stars were so abundant and so bright that they seemed to be just a little higher than my hands could reach. I know that #sonTwo, at least, remembers me taking him to have a star night with my mom. #sonOne, being ten years older, had fewer such nights, but he might also remember. (I'm pretty sure that #Daddy_A never got that opportunity.) My mom was a volunteer in a local science program, so she interacted regularly with amateur and professional astronomers. (Years later, I met some people around 1st son's age who told me "Your mom is so cool! She used to teach us about [some aspect of astronomy] and [some software used on Macintosh computers of that time].") Someone even gave her a telescope. Alas, it was a time of great struggle just to provide basic necessities for myself, so building a team and seeking funding was never going to happen. DLP was an idea that never went beyond "just an idea". I wouldn't even call it still born, as it never even became an embryo.

At last inspection, they had major violations, but still got an "A". Major violations could be #cockroach infestation, sewer backup, rodent infestation, employees not handwashing after using the restroom, sick employees coughing and sneezing all over the food, and other such issues. No thank you. Kill somebody else.

title: lnxw48a1: Speaking of memories, for all these years, I have been shopping at the #Target store where #sonTwo and #Daddy_A worked. I have seen the service slide, followed by stockouts -- even before #COVID-19 -- of specific products, followed by general inventory shortages, followed by replacing known good products with low quality store branded products. I still go to "Super Target" instead of #Walmart or the nearest supermarket. Or I go to the cross-town supermarket and stop by the Target in that area. But I'm not happy with them. If someone opened a clean and well-stocked store within walking distance with the quality products I want, I would switch in a heartbeat.

title: lnxw48a1: It looks like Kenan Thompson is starting to lose weight. I have mostly seen him when he was a Nickelodeon star in the 1990s, from watching “All That” and “Kenan and Kel” with #sonTwo. (I did try to watch “Spongebob Squarepants” with #Daddy_A, but I just never enjoyed the show. Like when I tried to watch “Ren & Stimpy” and “Beavis & Butthead” with #sonOne. Sorry, I just can’t do it.)

The other worked itself free and blew into someone's yard. We only did rocketry for a year or so, so we never got to bring #Daddy_A into it.

title: lnxw48a1: I predict that #Daddy_A and his family will be seeing stars soon. I sent a telescope. Well, I sent a telescope for #A1 last year, but it was one of those kids' science kit tabletop telescopes. This year's telescope is an entry level stargazing scope from Celestron. It came with a cellphone mount, so they can watch the screen and take photos of what they see instead of sticking their eyes up to the scope and potentially knocking it down. Oh, and it comes with some sort of astronomy software package. I don't know anything more about it than that.

(I also mentioned that #sonOne is 2-3 hours away, which is about 3 hours closer than #sonTwo.)

title: lnxw48a1: I saw a headline earlier with the BK word and Coinbase in the same sentence, but hadn't stopped to read it. I'm sure @guizzy@pleroma@guizzyordi.info can give the exact wording, but there's a saying in the cryptocurrency world that if your coins & tokens are not held in an offline wallet that only you control, they are not really yours. The point of cryptocurrency is about weakening the power of the intermediaries who currently choose the winners and losers. One cannot do that while simultaneously leaving one's holdings in the custody of yet another intermediary. We should think of exchanges as places for money in transit, not as places for money at rest. Western Union, not Bank of America. That said, it is alarming that the word bankruptcy is being bandied around and as far as I know, their customers have not been warned of the danger. I will inform both #sonTwo and #Daddy_A, in case either of them has an account and left some currency in the account.

encoded: #Daddy_A got a phone for nine year old #A1. I sent the lad a photo from the office window at work, but he did not respond. I will try to call him Saturday afternoon. Meanwhile, cousin #GD2 reports that her phone doesn't take a charge any more. I planned to call her also, but it will have to wait until #sonOne replaces her phone.

lnxw48a1: #Daddy_A is in an upgrade cycle for his computer. I sent the parts to build it 3 or 4 years back. Now he's got a faster Ryzen CPU and double the RAM. Definitely beyond anything I own.

title: lnxw48a1: #Daddy_A has taken the final dose of topical chemotherapy cream. The skin cancer appears to be gone. But he is impressed with the weight loss that accompanied his treatment, and is attempting to continue to lose weight. He's wearing a waist size that he hasn't worn since 8th or 9th grade. We had this conversation because I was looking at sunscreens and multi-vitamin + multi-mineral supplement pills and asked if he wanted me to send him some. I still want him to get some tests done, to ensure that the treatment was the only thing that caused his weight loss and to rule out certain other illnesses that appear to be "in the family".
