In Singapore, chicken eggs come in packs of 6, 10, 12 (always labelled as having two bonus eggs: 10 + 2), 15, and 30. Duck eggs come in packs of 6. Quail eggs come in cans (NFI how many they include).

The Word For World is Forest by Ursula LeGuin. I hated most of the first chapter but it's improved since then.

I use it, as both a reader and a publisher, but rss (in particular) could do with an update.

While it's often attributed to Churchill, it most likely originated from Abba Eban.

America always does the right thing. After it has tried everything else.

Perhaps I'm too tired to understand your meaning here (it's late), but blockchain isn't crypto currency. It's a distributed ledger, and was around long before crypto. It's not completely immutable either as the hard fork of Ethereum proved.

Blockchain could be used to record energy transactions, but the question is why would you want to? What benefit does it add?

Btw homeowners in parts of Australia are already receiving credits for the excess solar power they generate. There's no need to manufacture a new system to enable that functionality.

Once again, I'm tired. Perhaps I've misunderstood your reasoning.

I don't know. I think the way he's alienating people, sooner or later he's going to annoy the wrong person and end up finding himself falling out a window.

Just a thought. An observation, not a prediction or a threat.

Yes, there's a decent (albeit bare bones) Android client. The web interface is about to have a major update, but at the moment is pants.

I'm bridging my main Mastodon account with bluesky, but I'm fully expecting this service to disappear soon enough. I remember when Twitter, Facebook, and a bunch of other sites allowed crossposting until someone realised they were driving traffic away from their own site and shut it down. I think it was Facebook. I can't remember. Same is likely to happen here, or they'll charge an exorbitant fee for API access like Reddit. For now though, it kinda works.

A15 + 5g both have a headphone jack and can be unlocked apparently. Probably the A25 versions too.

And how many are current? Apart from the pixels, there's nothing available where I live unless you buy second-hand (which has issues of its own).
