===dan @ddaann.bsky.social · 16/07/2026My mother told us that in grade school (mid 1920s) the pupils were reading aloud to the class, and my mom's turn ended with "pshaw." She was stopped in mid "psshh" to the hilarity of the whole class. 000

===dan @ddaann.bsky.social · 18/06/2026Very surprising. I'm wondering how it came about that this obituary was eventually published. The only other newspaper obit I am finding was published last August in the Muncie (IN) Star Press. (Muncie was his home town.) 010

===dan @ddaann.bsky.social · 05/03/2026Matt seemed to be saying that Talarico should shift to the right to attract a larger portion of the electorate, and I was asking him how that would work without taking on positions that Rs already had staked out. I don't see how your comment addresses that. 110
===dan @ddaann.bsky.social · 05/03/2026Was that addressed to me? I was asking Matt what positions he'd suggest that Talarico should take that are different from progressive positions. 000
===dan @ddaann.bsky.social · 05/03/2026How could it ever help a D candidate to act like a R? If the voters want only R positions, they'll vote for an R. If you think there are specific D positions that can attract votes from right-wing voters (if other D positions are abandoned) spell those out. I don't see that in what you're proposing. 240

Maybe if you had two equal independent sources, you can bluetooth to the earpod from one and connect to the implant/aid from the other. ? 000
===dan @ddaann.bsky.social · 10/12/2025I've heard (in general terms) of streaming to a cochlear implant for one ear and a hearing aid for another, but only in the context of compatible systems (Phonak and Advanced Bionic). I've heard of arrangements where one aid gets a signal and sends the feed to the other ear. /1 100
