That's glad to know.
Hopefully, koyu and other domains get removed, too.
By the way, in their email reply to me, they mentioned that #Quad9 is considering joining #Mastodon!
I guess, they may note receive a red-carpet welcome here!

@freemo I'm not sure I've ever heard someone use "rushhole" 😂 Enjoy!

Beleive it or not unlike communists who demand purity or else it cant "work" capitalists generally dont have that mentality. I, like most capitalists, are aware that idealistically pure governments dont abd cant exist. There is no pure capitalism, never had been, just as there is no pire communism and never has been and never will be.
What you do have are countries, like most of europe and america, that adopt capitalism but know that their governemnt is and should be far more nuanced and for a healthy government you have components in addition to a free market. Most understand capitalism is absolutely a requirement for a healthy government, but that isnt where things end its only where it begins. Having good welfare and social programs are part of a good capitalistic government as well.
@freemo And maybe he thought "Who was that person everyone ran up to instead of me?"
The president of Egypt literally just parked his car and walked within 2 or 3 feet of me like it was nothing.... I didnt even know who he was and everyone ran up to me and went "thats the president" and im just like "of what?" And they went "of egypt" and i went " no fucking shit!".
I made another cat friend today. I shared my calamari with him but he was still hungry so I got the restaurant to make him some plain grilled chicken. By the time the chicken came my cat friend was gone but the restaurant staff tracked him down around the corner and gave him the meal i bought him. My cat friend should now have a stomach full of calamari and chicken.
@Hyolobrika @freemo I love the honesty in these comments 😂

I was going to use the formula "break a leg", but... I'll just wish you good luck.
Tomorrows dive is going to be 130 feet / 40 meters, air back gas, with 100% and 50% pony deco gases, no travel gas. Going to shoot for about 15 minute bottom time. First deco dive in years and its actually the anniversary of the day i got my full trimix certification. So very important day for me.
Here is the video of yesterdays dive with the **giant** Hawksbill sea turtle at 0:30 and again at 8:00 (the 8:00 is more interesting so watch it all the way through). If there is one video you check out it should be this one, I very rarely see sea turtles anywhere near this size, he must be close to 100 years old.

I've been going a little overboard on my dives lately using three seperate dive computers. Worse yet they each use three different algorithms:
My Shearwater Petrel 2 uses VPM+GF (Varying Permiability Model + Gradient Facor)
My Suunto EON Steel uses Suunto's Fused RGBM (Reduced Gradient Bubble Model)
My Garmin Descent Mk2 uses Buhlman algorithm.
You might ask how i reconcile all three when they give different dive plans... simple.. I just use the deepest ceiling availible to me at the time and never violate any of them. Makes for an ultra conservative dive, as I set all of them with high conservatism, but I like that.
