Yeah the house elf thing was, for me, so weird and it bothered me, but I just looked past it because I liked the rest of the books.

I think you could have the boblins run one bank, but have other banks too. And they're not greedy they're just huge nerds who love counting things or something. Like it's not that they control the banks, they're just in to math and technology. Have them invent a bunch of doodads and gadgets too, sorta blending goblins and gnomes.

I like the idea of the obscured arts. I think of it as like, gun control. The magic isn't special, but you don't really want just anyone studying dangerous war spells. Especially in middle school. But it's not like it's this evil branch of magic, it's just the same stuff but particular applications. Like we don't have missile and gun technology (well we kind of do) but at the end of the day it's still just physics and engineering. Any engineering student could make a gun if they wanted, and any Hogwarts student could just kill someone, if they chose to.

The thing is, you're absolutely right. "Finance" does serve a purpose. I don't think there'd be a stock market where rich people gamble on pieces of companies like poker chips, but the finance industry does serve a purpose under capitalism and a similar thing would be needed: the allocation of huge amounts of society's resources. Financial companies are just capitalist central planners, and they optimize to keep themselves rich and keep capitalism running. Such a thing would be needed under socialism too, but with different incentive structures and goals.

Don't skimp on the leavening, heavy bread is an acquired taste.

My dad used to love making bread but it was so heavy a single slice could be your whole meal and it was so yeasty.

So don't do that I guess.

Hmm

Oh, come on. It will only heat up the water part of your guts. What do you have to fear. How much of your guts are water anyway?

Well the original idea was to run something that accepts a TCP connection, and then run wireshark and see if you have a lot of retransmitted packets, which would mean the cable is probably bad and dropping packets.

You can probably still look at ping and see if there's packet drops but yeah, probably not as reliable doing it that way.

I guess you don't need to for my idea anyway which is to flood ping the router (ping it with an increased frequency and see if you get packet losses)

Or actually are you able to log in to a shell on your router?

If you have a laptop with an Ethernet adapter I'd just use that.

Yes but it tells you that it's doing it pretty clearly and it means you only need one app for non signal and signal contacts. They can just make the notice bigger I think.

I think the reason they're dropping it is RCS though. Much more complex standard than just regular sms

Proton mail is like... Email. Signal is more of an instant messenger. Both useful but protonmail is for longer stuff that doesn't have to be replied to immediately I think.

It's one of the greatest places to psot (on discord)

hi! welcome to the greatest place to psot

Currently only a few people I know use signal so if I had to maintain two appsz one for signal friends and one for just SMS friends it's going to be a big bummer and I probably will just end up not using signal. As is, I could get people to switch to signal as their main app and I could signal with them, but otherwise it was a normal texting app for them. But now his am I gonna get my mom to install signal and a regular SMS app? Not gonna happen, which means unencrypted messages.
