These are tins with film reels marked NBC News. I think I got them as part of a auction box lot in the Albany, NY area in the 1990s (they looked old then). Reached out to a few NBC news folks via LinkedIn; no responses. Should I: 1) trash them; 2) develop them; 3) get them to someone at NBC news?

Well. That sucks. Pulling for you and hoping that you can get to understanding, are able to benefit from the new therapies, and can hang around on this rock with your loved ones for many, many more years.

The feed is automated, powered by @graze.social. It reposts posts with the words "call for" papers/participants & the word law or related words. So @jacobdcharles.bsky.social didn't need to do more than post his call to bsky and the list picked it up...thanks for helping people find it!

The price on the point & shoots today is insane. I have a Lumix ZS80 (same 1" sensor) with a 30x zoom on it, and I've stopped carrying it & gone back to my micro 4/3 (Olympus E-PL8). But then I also have to carry lenses. The lx10 is currently selling for >$600...it's nuts! Great pic, though :)

It's my wife's, too, and I have to stop myself from saying, over and over, "Have you done it yet?? Have you done it yet?" It doesn't help that I'm in Spain and she's in NY, so I did it hours ago and she's just getting up!!

I have not assigned a physical, traditionally published casebook in years. I have my own textbook for torts and use my own materials or free or low-cost alternatives (Semaphore Press or CALI Ebooks, for example) for the rest.

Thanks for the reporting & keeping on top of this. Not trying to be obnoxious, but the article says Supreme Court ruled on Friday evening, but it was Thursday evening, as I'm sure you know. Probably happened because with everything going on all the time it's hard to remember what day it is...

Not sure this is still helpful, but we use Ooma for our old landline that we just weren't quite ready to give up. We use the "free" plan, but the "premier" plan is $9.99/mo+taxes.

I tapped out on Duolingo when I couldn't learn more generally from the individual lessons; tried babbl (paid) but only worked for awhile before again losing the thread. Now considering Göthe Institute for a live online course, but they're expensive. Languages didn't come naturally to me, FWIW.

Any of them could be govt stand-ins, cooperating behind the scenes, or otherwise unsafe (privacy-wise). There are audits, but they suffer from the same inherent problems (who is doing the auditing). I'm not sure that matters for geo-location, though. From Wirecutter: www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/r...

I'm not a coder. Did some cobol(?) in college & HTML before it had a number. Created a "call for papers" feed for law stuff in skyfeed, but it didn't work. Moved it to @graze.social, got instant help on their discord channel, and now it's working. Reposting "live" calls so they're in the feed.

"There isn't a snowball's chance in hell" reads to me as being a less than zero chance; Snowball's chance of being in hell=zero; Isn't even that chance? <zero. "There's a snowball's chance" reads to me as "no chance." The first is a nice rhetorical flourish. I'm now way overthinking this...
