@glitch25 A number of people are using telescoping flagpoles. You could try that.Also, just to be sure: you've tried windows, right? Height isn't always everything. It would be more directional, but as long as you hit people it doesn't matter.

Kinda neat.Idly watching oil prices off to the side, and stonks in the background because of earnings and rates and suchFeds announce no rate change, traders clearly 100% expecting it, no reactionPowell announces he'll stay as a governor after his term as chair is over, jump across all indiciesIs this traders going "oh thank fuck, the shitstain doesn't get to fill a seat with another fool"? Or just coincidence?I dunno either, but it was kinda neat.#markets #stonks

This is what oil's doing this morning, btw. West Texas. Brent is worse ($110.50-ish) - they crossed back to the more typical relationship several days ago.#OilPrice #fascism #FuckTrump #IranWar

Oh, also of interest: the headlines note that there were the most dissenters on this rates decision since 1992. Since people were looking for a rate cut the implication is that the dissenters wanted one.That is NOT CORRECT.There were four dissents._One_ wanted an immediate rate cut, as context around the headlines would imply.The other three wanted the forward-looking possible-rate-cut-languge _removed_. They wanted no rate cut now, and they wanted the suggestion of a rate cut at the next meeting _taken out_, meaning they expect higher inflation.This is the opposite of the contextual headline implication and one should take it onboard for one's inflation expectations accordingly.#economy #InterestRates #FedReserve #inflation

This is not financial advice and I am not a financial advisor, but my inflation expectations are more in line with those of the dissenters.People see the gas/diesel price shocks. Most people aren't yet really seeing the shipping price shocks. The goods price shock hasn't hit yet, but it absolutely will; if you look you can see it coming.As for food, well, people are seeing a little foods price shock but it's mostly transportation impacts passed along so relatively low-key so far for most, but if fertiliser supplies don't get sorted - China's helping with that in eastern Asia, sharing from their considerable reserves stockpile - the hard impacts will be four to six months off.#economy #InterestRates #FedReserve #prices #inflation

Hi, I used to be an economics blogger, can you tell? It's kind of my comfort zone, particularly when things are interesting, by which I mean brace for impact.

(I was one of the people warning anyone who would listen about both the tech and housing bubbles, and street-protested the bailout that created the Giant Pile of Money which has _completely fucked_ the relationship between stock values and actual productive economy ever since - not that it was on the most stable of ground to begin with - and which also created the megabillionaire fascist political tribe which helped get us here. Day-to-day bores me, so I don't bother with it, which from a reader's POV means that when I start blogging economics again, shit's getting crinkly, weird, and historically that's meant explosively bad.)

oh hey i found it! i knew i kept it xDI led a tiny group of people (we called it an "informational protest") down at Westlake with this for hours. Had a lot of good conversations but, well.Funniest part was the Roaches trying to get in on our bit and me physically chasing them off. Never let LaRouchites into your party. (Are they even still around? Look 'em up.)#protest #economy

@eff It's worth noting that some areas have standardised on MeshCore, rather than Meshtastic. E.g. Cascadia, where MeshCore's routing in particular seems to work better, possibly due to our complex topography:https://cascadiamesh.org/map/See meshcore.io for firmware and a short go-to device list.#mesh #MeshCore #Meshtastic #comms #cascadia #CascadiaMesh #radio

@davidrevoy Yeah. I've been getting that with my writing. It's hard to describe how infuriating it is to have your work stolen, badly copied by a fucking machine, and then to be accused of being that same fucking machine.hate it so much
