I posted this below, but I used to be able to whistle in a way to make a modem or fax handshake and connect. Couldn’t do any data, but I could make it connect.
My parlor trick back in the day was that when a call came in from a modem or fax, I could whistle in a way that it would connect. Couldn’t do anything past that, but it was fun.
AFK BRB Chocolate@lemmy.worldOPto World of Warcraft@lemmy.ml•World of Warcraft players are convinced Blizzard is dropping hints about a major update to a 9-year-old classEnglish1·15 days agoI’m enjoying it on the public server. I have a couple chars that I only play with family, and a shadow priest that I just got to 60 recently and decided to join a guild (had been 100% solo prior). The guild experience is nice - good, helpful people who don’t have ridiculous expectations of casual players.

Meanwhile, I’m back to playing classic - same game I started 20 years ago.
Oh, right, I forgot about that aspect.
Waterbeds suck, honestly. They’re great for people who have a very consistent body temp and don’t have a partner. Get warm or cold in the middle of the night? Tough, it takes ages to change the temp of a huge mass of water. Partner with a different comfort zone? Too bad.

AFK BRB Chocolate@lemmy.worldto science@lemmy.world•Missing Matter in Universe FoundEnglish11·19 days agoNo, this study didn’t deal with dark matter, that’s not the missing matter they’re taking about. They’ve known that the ordinary matter in the galaxies only accounts for a small fraction of the matter in the universe, and there were theories about how much matter was in the space between galaxies. This study looked at radio waves being emitted by distant sources, and looked at how much those waves were defracted by pasted through matter, which corroborated that yes, there’s a lot of matter between galaxies.

She for sure doesn’t speak for the company, which is more conservative.

AFK BRB Chocolate@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Photos of anti-Trump 'No Kings' demonstrations across the USEnglish7·20 days agoOne interesting thing at my local one in southern California: several people were waving large state flags. Lots of American flags as well, but I thought the state flags were interesting.
AFK BRB Chocolate@lemmy.worldtoUnited States | News & Politics@midwest.social•Photos of anti-Trump ‘No Kings’ demonstrations across the USEnglish6·21 days agoI couldn’t be available for the first half of out local one (SoCal), and had to stay phone accessible for the second half, but I drive through it. Honestly, the turnout was insane. I saw the huge crowd at the intersection where it was supposed to be, and thought it was really impressive. Then I drove through it and the crowd was just thicker and thicker as I went - it went for blocks. My friend went and he said it was a great experience - everyone was peaceful. Lots of cops, but just being present they way they should be when there are thousands of people on the street.
Hopefully this time there’s more news coverage. This AP story is a good start.

There are several groups of white, European immigrants that have non-trivial illegal populations, but none of those have been raided. Only black and Latino.
FYI, this thread is two years old, so not sure OP is going to see this, or still want to know. Good info though.
