@khojiYou've probably seen the wiki page about the old switchboard https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switchboard_operatorWhat you mention was a plot point for old TV shows. Probably some old comedy movies as well. If you search you might find a visual demonstration as well.At one time I heard of a museum in California that focused on old telephone systems. My quick search found other sources. Videos too.https://www.bing.com/search?q=museum%20of%20old%20telephone%20switchboard&PC=SANSAAND&form=LWS001&ssp=1&cc=US&setlang=en&darkschemeovr=1&safesearch=moderate

@Wolven I would add to this and say not to turn the phone back on until you are 100% alone.Some phones or some carriers will have the phone go off again once it's back on. This has at least been a problem reported from some on the Internet.

@laurahelmuth One of the takeaways from the studies declaring masks being ineffective is that when the participants were observed, a great majority of them wore their masks incorrectly. They used them as chin diapers or had their nose exposed too frequently. This contaminated any evidence and made the study declare things were inconclusive. Sadly, to many "inconclusive" meant masks just did not work. It didn't mean to them that the study was messed up.

@peggycollinsEvery year when the clocks would change my mom made mention of her farming dad and all of his farming friends.Farmers keep to animal time and not people time.

@thorncoyleThe scammers on Mastodon only means we've matured as a social media site.

@brewsterkahleIt looks exciting to most of us but I just realized that the place looks to have been built without proper OSHA guidelines to safety rail height.Climb a ladder to get to the top shelf on those crazy shelves? You'd be reinacting a scene from Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo.

#catsofmastodon #catGomez is enjoying his 14th hour of sleep. I imagine he dreams of the forbidden treats he may not and cannot eat for they make him barf. But he does love them so.

So late last week I was reminded of a term programmers use in discussing any platform that people are allowed to play with and get creative, TTP or Time Til Penis. How quick will it be before a penis is drawn, talked about, and/or shown?Curious if LLM Gen AI models and such have something similar, like Time Til Fascism. Maybe Time Til Death Causing Advice? Time Til Credibility Evaporates?

@futurebird @seawallHere's something I have noticed, front page search results all look like they were created specifically for your search question. Like they were written middle schoolers who took a test question and turned it into the first sentence/topic of their low lexile answer.You no longer land on a resource written last year or 10 years ago.And the ads! Oh, the ads! Every four sentence paragraph begins and ends with an ad an most likely a floating video box.

For those not aware there's a website called #OpenCulture and it can be found at https://www.openculture.com/It's a wonderful resource to quickly find learning materials from textbooks to lectures. There's listings of films, books, and audio books as well.On a slow day it's fun to just have a look and see what's available. They even list archives of open source graphics and prints.Check it out. It's cool.

#BloomScrollingA bee gathers pollen in the dark brown center of a golden yellow flower. The background is a comforting tangle of green leaves and stems.

My cousin's granddaughter died unexpectedly recently. The mom has been updating people on #Facebook about it because that's what the community uses. A scammy group has begun to befriend those who've made any comment. They pose as a group that is live streaming the funeral. ALL THEY NEED IS YOUR CREDIT CARD NUMBER to do the streaming.And many of my friends wonder why I frown on posting anything too personal on social media.

@futurebird A truly stupid decision. While working in retail the number of women who had problems finding black long sleeve dress shirts for work was huge. No one made the sleeves or body long enough. I always figured that a clothier who could cater to the business clothes needs of women at the brick & mortar level could have success.
