Last Notes npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: Mazda engineers in the lab developing a new shade of grey. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: Yes please! npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: https://www.dispatch.com/story/opinion/columns/guest/2026/07/13/dating-politics-divide-opinion/90731580007/ npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: We're going to lime rock. Next weekend. the folks at nutmeg miata club rent the autocross course for the whole day. There will be new driver instruction. Then they open up the full course and do timed runs. Then it's free driving which lasts hours. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: I took my neighbor for a second day of manual driving because she has to get better at getting into second fast. She got a lot better. she can launch hard every time which will be useful at auto cross just not great for the road. She is getting smoother. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: tobacco blunts are big in the north east. Most lesbians I smoke with mostly dab. Many call their girlfriends “my girl” for some reason. I don’t know if it’s a stoner archetype. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: where are you located that they smoke blunts? npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: I think the closes you can get is the prologue. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: this is for a 19 year old with a limited budget. X5 is her dream car. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: this is a first car for a 19 year old. We can’t expect her to be as good as you at maintaining a car. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: we're the weirdos. it's in the name of the site. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: My neighbor who is going autocrossing next month with me wants an X5. I've hired a crisis counselour to help me cope with the fact that she doesn't like the cars that I think are cool I was trying to think of cars that are somewhat similar but much better for a young driver. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: I'm going to need a more specific question npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: I got a ticket to the Nutmeg (CT) miata club's autocross event a lime rock. it's the best deal in performance driving in the tri state area and it's once a year. This year I'm taking my college age neighbor as the driver. We're going to practice getting into second in a dead mall parking lot. she's a unusually good and defensive driver for a young person. She's also great at the racing sim pushing a little harder on each turn each time. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: The star player on the spurs is named VW and he's like 7'5". they should have named him Yukon or Tahoe. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: There are plenty of other cars that are cool auto commuters like a GTI/Golf R or elantra N. you just can't get great value hacking their lease. I really like the prius I just wish it wasn't so loud to make it easier for Jenny to sleep in. I'm probably the only person cross shopping a mustang and a prius. It has more to do with lease hacking than what I'm lookign for. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: I love mazdas, but I love the idea of getting an eco boost as a high mileage commuter car. It's not that different than a rwd BMW 330. All the reviewers say it has soft camry like suspension. I'm commuting in NYC with my wife that's the suspension I want. it even has ventilated seats which the Mazda 3 doesn't have. My broker can get me a better deal on the mazda because the model is a little older now. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: I've been car pooling with my wife to NYC. we work nearby, not in the congestion zone, and driving is less expensive than $28 day pass plus $6 subway fare times two people even paying $18 to park. I love the audi but it's weird puttign lots and lots of miles on it. I kind of want an auto GT car but with a turbo 4 for the right mix of power and efficiency for me. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: I love manual cars more than the next guy but these EV simulated manuals are stupid. If I buy a EV I want it to drive like an RC car at times and be like a poor man's roplls royce at other times. If you want to make them like the manual sports cars we love just keep the weight down. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: My wife doesn’t drive or care about cars but she completely understands what cars I like. We walked out of the Greek restaurant and she saw this XM and imediately told me she was going to buy one for me cause she knew I hated everything about it. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: my mom just bought a crosstrek. She got the perfect sales person for her too. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: they say driving angry is more dangerous than driving drunk. A lot of motorcyclists won’t ride if they’re angry. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: I can't tell if I'm coming out of the chrysalis a middle aged car enjoyer or if cars do really suck now and everything is over priced. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: RE cheap taycans npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: Ever since I turned 40 I keep getting these ads for ED. Apparently it's a growing problem for men my age. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: At least it's interesting npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: "The pope is weak on crime because the vandals stole the candles" - Bob Dylan npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: following this npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: #USPol npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: "When a flower grows wild it can always survive. wild flowers don't care where they grow." npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: My parents bought a red one when they were brand new. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: I think it's location based. different areas are on different DNS servers. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: Apparently there was a huge DNS failure last night that was fixed. do images work for everyone else again now? my first thought was to check for a DNS problem but I think it's DNS with the image server not the mastodon server. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: The meshtastic web flasher is pretty good but it's pay to play. they only support devices that pay to be a part of the meshtastic project. mesh forge lets you take any compatible firmware projects and puts it on any compatible device without using a terminal or having any technical knowledge. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: I was worried the Dev ben might think I'm stealing his idea, but we get along great. we are the only people in the internet with BBS firmware for meshtastic and we are both developing rich multiplayer games that work over meshtastic. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: The coolest part of us coolaborating is I have code that uses python to upload binaries to the external flash of the microcontroller. this allows me to store stuff like a city coordinate database or a full 13k 5-letter word dictionary for wordle. The mesh forge dev is going to build it into his project so ANY dev can use it without even having to look at my code. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: Last night I connected with another guy that made a BBS firmware before me. We are workign together in a partnership over his amazing and powerful project, mesh forge https://meshforge.org/ npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: MonsterMesh is the name of this firmware project. I wanted to avoid using anythign resembling nintendo IP. so it's named monster mesh because pokemon is pocket monsters and the communication works over the mesh. I'm using the hashtag so people can follow the project if hey don't want to follow me. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: is it on web or mobile? everything has been working for me. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: Is it uploading them or no images work on the client? npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: I like to consider myself an alpha man, but mostly because I have so many firmware projects and nothing in public beta. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: I'll be releasing the tech demo of my #Meshtastic firmware project for the #TDeck that lets you play #Pokemon or any other GB game on the TDeck inside the meshtastic firmware. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: I can copy that burning Elmo. What would the name for it be? : burning Elmo : ? npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: I have accepted a job offer at an org that does natal and childhood health economics research that's a part of a medical school that's part of one of the major research hospitals in the area. I'm pretty excited. due to a lot of facxtors it's going to cost us less to carpool than take public transit. having two manual cars may no longer be a good three car strategy. maybe something fun and electric like a bolt maybe. maybe it's time to take the $40k Taycan challenge. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: If @npub16d5…8xd0 can make this work and catch on he will be a folk hero. I was going to help with search engine marketing to find people who want an affordable accessible vehicle. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: A car liek this is really desireable because the ramp works in any perpendicular parking spot., you can aso wheel yourself in and a lot of people can get from their chair to the driver's seat and drive. There is an ologopoly of assessable vehicles in america and these cars give a lot of independence for a small amount of money. In japan a new accessible vehicle is under $20k. here the clossest thing is a kia soul with rear entry for $60k. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: that’s a good one. The rear ramp is a desirable feature. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: I don't know if you're following my post but I'm working on a new system that has asynchronous syncing of messages with a peer-to-peer decentralized BBS that's end to end encrypted with gossip networking. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: here's the thing. There's a meshtastic network near me with hundreds of people. I can message from albany to NYC and from PA the CT. I want to be on that network. we already have several BBS on the mesh working fine. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: One of the cool use cases of #SideClique is you can put a small node like a t1000E on your dog's harness and put it into SOS mode if the dog gets lost advertising the location every 30 seconds without wasting battery when it's not in SOS mode. or maybe you go through the woods with your dog off leash or hunt with dogs. this helps you track your dog if something bad happens and you get separated. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: the idea is each #Meshtastic node is running the peer-to-peer #BBS client and every encrypted channel can become a #decentralized BBS with email, daily #wordle, rpg, #chess, SOS location services for families. It's a modern take on primitive software of the 80s that runs on a meshtastic node. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: I've been fleshing out this idea. It's called #TinyBBS #SideClique: A peer-to-peer decentralized #Meshtastic #BBS for families and friend groups. We have daily Wordle, chess by mess, and a daily LORD based multiplayer RPG based on the game Wastelad which is a meta game inside the fallout world. the wasteland is hashed so it's a daily social game take on an 80s classic Legend Of the Red Dragon type RPG. The RPG is on TinyBBS too, but I was able to move it to SideClique. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: I learned to program in the 80s so it's really fun programming with such tough storage constraints, networking constraints, and processing constraints. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: This is really a vague idea so I'd love to hear from people who travel or go to festivals in groups with #meshtastic about the features you would want for a Peer to Peer #BBS client? npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: I have a vague idea for a fork for my #TinyBSS. a firmware where eery client host a sort of BBS. it would be for families or groups of friends at festivals. I would want stuff liek persistent emergancy messages. if someone drops off the mesh or has their node off you can send a DM to them automatically once they get back online and you get an Ack from the DM. also stuff where parents can store all the GPS movements of the people in their family and store it int he external flash. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: I may transition to meshcore. meshcore firmware is much smaller so there's more room for the firmware. Also the way meshcore works I wouldn't flood the mesh with syncing BBS. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: that's coming. TC2 has data syncing. what I want to do is a kind of asynchronous datasync for email where nodes can lose contact temporarily or you could have a Beeper size portable BBS that woudl sync your email with your home BBS in a decentralized distributed way. Well at least I hope to add it. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: the QSL is cool and a bit of a work in progress. My old ESP32 QSL would get the coordinates and look them up on the internet can give a location name. The off grid nRF52 code has a library of thousadns of cities and their central coordinates. when someoen QSLs we give the location of asking node. For air QSL we can share what city they are over and stuff liek speed and altitude. We can actually detect people in planes from them advertising their node just from altitude and speed. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: What's fido? npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: I have a Full version where you use a #python script to send the knowledge files on the the BBS to external flash. There is a Lite version that's just flash and dash. some NRF boards have less flash and can only run the lite version. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: I also want to flag #blind and #disability because the entire project is text based. A blind person can load the firmware entirely in text terminal or even use claude code to install everything. The #BBS itself is entirely text. unlike traditional BBS that have more resources I don't have a lot of ASCII/ANSI art that a reader can't deal well with. it's just text. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: I was running the #BBS on #ESP32 and making a companion mobile BBS #firmware that ran on NRF. I realized I could actually fit 85% of the BBS functionality on the NRF52. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: I want to give an update about my project #TinyBBS, a #Meshtastic #BBS that runs on the meshtastic firmware itself. It is now NRF52 based. The NRF is a lot more lightweight and energy efficient. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: that’s actually pretty straightforward. It’s not hard to capture the serial activity and decode it. There some other bigger programming roadblocks. I’ve been banging my head against the wall for ten hours just trying to get the keyboard to work. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: there are compelling reasons to run Pokemon on meshtastic. Off-grid PvP battles. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: Video proof it’s running #meshtastic and a legal #Pokemon #ROM in an #emulator npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: I got #pokemon running on my tdeck as part of the #meshtastic firmware. It’s not running well but I compiled a GB emulator from source running on this and it can run both Meshtastic and a game boy emulator at once. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: I’m really happy with the new indie pop semi avant garde ratio format. Much much better than the all the worst songs all the time format. The only good thing they used to play was post emotion carlybra Jepsen. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: Been working on a project, a #meshtastic #BBS that runs directly on a #ESP32 node without needing a #rpi zero running the BBS. I have an alpha up and running and added a daily Wordle game. it has bulletins, Email, and a neat QSL feature for radio nerds. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: I started a matrix server for cannabis discord "servers" to move to. nearly no one was interested. These alternatives are great but it takes a group mortivated to move and learn new things. our community works because were were the 5-10% of weird car twitter that was eager to move to ani corporate platforms. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: I'm working on a wearable computer concept where I use a lilygo T-Deck as the #meshtastic device for a #BBS and run a BBS on a RPI zero with an e-ink screen that I will either clip to a lanyard or wear as a watch. I'm tryign to use the Pwnagatchi project case for the BBS. I have to figure out how to get the TTY output on the e-ink screen to see the BBS activity. People have made meshtastic BBS but not really wearable/portable units. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: WATERSHED MOMENT ALERT: npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: https://weirdautos.files.fedi.monster/media_attachments/files/116/224/275/972/585/525/original/2e273ea269bb6687.png npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: On reddit someone asked the same question about a porsche sports car over the 911. It seems like if you force everyone to pick something expensive they just want a carrera GT. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: I would love to see them make a modern RS3 type car with the golf R/RS3 platform and the 2.5 turbo from the 718. I would love to see a car on that platform with Porsche tuning and tactical feedback. It could be. The 911 is to the 718 as the macan is to a Porsche hit hatch. Smaller more affordable and possibly more fun. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: Porsche is apparently making a sports car to go above the 911 but below the super limited super cars (stop me if you've heard this one before) and a SUV above the cheyenne. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: https://weirdautos.files.fedi.monster/media_attachments/files/116/211/978/112/317/848/original/6104382b5998acf6.png npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: We are close to a watershed moment in the senate market. I really doubted the senate was in play, but now it's a tossup. AT these prices I'd probably take the republican side but it's amazing to see these prices in a market with nearly a million in volume. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: I've been watching Cop Rock.

People act like the lyrics are important to them. Pop music songs for the most part have shallow lyrics. I listen to of music in other languages. I really love Rosalia who mostly sings in Spanish but her last album has 13 languages in it. Half of the time people aren't even paying attention to lyrics. If people care that much about lyrics why hasn't Bob Dylan, John Prine, or david berman done the superbowl? npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: I've made friends with a glass art that does a fordite color technique. also pretty cool for pride. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: I honestly think his could help people. in my early 20s I received a BS traffic ticket.

Delta sigma DACs are just one bit with high frequency. if you are taking a multibit PCM signal and converting it to one bit it's being rescaled to a much higher frequency signal. npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: Never meet your heros npub1klztz7066hv5u8sk8ugqv0v56k796k8y3jst7y6du4xgyrzptsnqdazg63 Mark :wa: :nd: Just want to say there’s nothing wrong with being gay but there is something wrong with thinking a lot of a car makes you seem gay.
