Engineer, guitar player. Ex-X'er looking for some peace and quiet, music and photography. Astronomy not astrology. Man those blocklists really seemed to ease me in albeit, dropped now. And still a pleasant place. No DMs please. No crypto/sex scams either.

Imagine being the gom that has to print out nonsense cards like that to placate a sexual abuser and close ally of Epstein. Job fulfillment much? #speirgorm

Agreed. It's very quiet. Here have a pic of a jockey pulley from a car that has annoyed me and my daughter for two years. Old fashioned mechanic saying it won't break, saving me money. Oh god the noise. Finally fixed.
