To my knowledge she doesn&#39;t really have anywhere else to go. She has some family in Vancouver, but she has had virtually zero contact with any of them since her parents died, well over a year ago. I doubt she has the resources or inclination to seek them out (but I could be wrong).<br/><br/>I do not know what social media accounts she may have (and this is the only SM that I use, and I know she&#39;s not here), so not sure if she&#39;s been active on Insta or TikTok or anything like that. 2026-01-14T14:48:36Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqstwj4l5h93p20e69nm68ljzm7z692hjenq48f48k488pprens6xjqzyr37urj4cxux6x3gwhs8vewuejrq2ekp4wpyduhvh4w42jj55sjv65uf5g6 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsvx966ckhg0pwhxk8qjl46m29clnhazh4ztux5gqzcp05g3vrn5lq0j7w4e'>nevent1q…7w4e</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>This is my niece...hook a honky up. 2026-01-13T23:01:16Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsvx966ckhg0pwhxk8qjl46m29clnhazh4ztux5gqzcp05g3vrn5lqzyr37urj4cxux6x3gwhs8vewuejrq2ekp4wpyduhvh4w42jj55sjv67l4uye #PDX #MissingPersons #Portland<br/><br/>Please boost.

I provided support to both, but was pretty sure that Linux was going to be the way to go.<br/><br/>Twenty-five years ago when everyone started adopting Windows I thought, &#34;Yeah, but the costs will get out of hand. Companies are already complaining about having to introduce an entirely new department (IT) and the cost to keep it running. Surely the people supporting the tech will be pushing for Linux&#34;<br/><br/>Twenty years ago I was mostly using Linux but I&#39;d run Windows in a virtual machine to support it. I didn&#39;t like it, but figured that it was only a matter of time before the ever increasing costs and ever declining utility of it would finally drive Windows into a coffin.<br/><br/>Ten years ago when Microsoft tricked everyone into &#34;upgrading&#34; Windows 7 to Windows 10 (remember them changing the &#34;X&#34; in the corner to &#34;install&#34; instead of &#34;cancel&#34;?) I thought, &#34;Man, these dirty tricks are going to cost them a lot of business. Surely any day now Windows will be a thing of the past. They&#39;re really abusing their privilege.&#34;<br/><br/>Since then they&#39;ve gone from licensing software on a per computer basis to selling it per user, providing everything as a service that requires a network connection to function (whether it makes sense or not), monthly fees, added advertisements to every application, and added software that tracks people whether they want it to or not. Plus, AI, which nobody asked for but that everyone will pay for.<br/><br/>The moral of this story is that I have no idea how much fascism people will tolerate, but I&#39;m betting it&#39;s a whole lot more than me. 2025-12-11T21:49:30Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs8sgz6dds4gy4emuvldygs3nwshsyhcuu533wc7cdsdgsgqeer0sgzyr37urj4cxux6x3gwhs8vewuejrq2ekp4wpyduhvh4w42jj55sjv6zg3vrj In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsyn7zw34unsjs7prkzg4qmzyc37my502j3dzu4xarfxq592vrk40gx64pd2'>nevent1q…4pd2</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Matthew 19:39 2025-12-03T05:08:02Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs0ueyptqq47fdwvpfez3s6zl5pnzphrsx2f3mx4c3a7j2c0gf404czyr37urj4cxux6x3gwhs8vewuejrq2ekp4wpyduhvh4w42jj55sjv6nv9dge In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsdl5dfkc5ag2q9swn8xm9x55hyfxeeekkugwt3rh75g2ur9mhlhfg46lagp'>nevent1q…lagp</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I exhibit all seven of those. 2025-12-02T21:24:54Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs90neff95sfpvaesyv98hp9a4ym8fpl5qt64tlazau36x92gw83ggzyr37urj4cxux6x3gwhs8vewuejrq2ekp4wpyduhvh4w42jj55sjv666pgnj I know, good things almost never come our way.<br/><br/>This is an almost if you enjoy music.<br/><br/><a href="https://entertainment.slashdot.org/story/25/11/10/0357222/nonprofit-releases-thousands-of-rare-american-music-recordings-online">https://entertainment.slashdot.org/story/25/11/10/0357222/nonprofit-releases-thousands-of-rare-american-music-recordings-online</a> 2025-11-10T14:16:50Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsxxkxrpnsmwdq2r3dr2t274r33eupgtcnskktxaqyetnyw0ax0r2gzyr37urj4cxux6x3gwhs8vewuejrq2ekp4wpyduhvh4w42jj55sjv646guwq In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsdswm4tt2s4dt2qt262nhr892w5a87zgujngp8ywytwuelkp8n4eqqp05zj'>nevent1q…05zj</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Alors en faisant ca eterait bete.

Plus a little bit that I&#39;ve learned along the way.<br/><br/>My dad started off left handed. I do not know if he was on the spectrum, but I bet that he was. When he was five years old, his left hand was crushed.<br/><br/>He became right-handed.<br/><br/>When he was in his thirties, he got his right hand caught in a snowblower (the kind with metal blades). He moved back to his left hand while he recovered from that one.<br/><br/>So he was mostly ambidextrous.<br/><br/>I grew up using my right hand for most things. I&#39;ve always shot pool left-handed, but not a lot else.<br/><br/>Then I watched Mythbusters &#34;Throws like a girl&#34; and I learned that what you feel comfortable doing largely depends on what you&#39;ve practiced.<br/><br/>I have felt that this bears out in my own life. MOST of the things that I do are right handed, but other things...fully left. Depending on practice. Some things that I&#39;ve practiced with my left hand I do rather well (say, minute adjustments for delicate work with tools, that sort of thing).<br/><br/>I do not consider myself ambidextrous, but with some things I can &#34;trick&#34; people into thinking that I am.<br/><br/>I don&#39;t think either myself or my father were particularly &#34;strong&#34; in either hand, we just chose one and went with it.<br/><br/>In college I had an instructor with a really weird (yet relevant) quirk.<br/><br/>Whether on a piece of paper or on a chalk/white board, he would write with his left hand until he was at the 50% point...then he&#39;d switch hands. He couldn&#39;t seem to do it any other way. He said he&#39;d always been that way.<br/><br/>His penmanship was almost identical from one hand to the other - unless he broke his own rule. If he crept past 50% it would look like it should be written in crayon. Same if he started at the left side of the page with his right hand.<br/><br/>Daffy. 2025-05-06T23:19:54Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs9nu7kzy0jm45yufa8e4rdsm5ctzq02scqwl5yvkt0df8xd53vl6szyr37urj4cxux6x3gwhs8vewuejrq2ekp4wpyduhvh4w42jj55sjv652mm0k &#34;They should be ashamed&#34;<br/><br/>Yes.
