@Trev I appreciate it. While it's been a long process and certainly could have been smoother, at least the end is in sight and my own mental health will continue to improve, as it has for the last 3 years.

Well, after the slew of abusive texts today, at least I know my ex has finally talked to her lawyer regarding the final documents being signed for our divorce. Naturally she claims she didn't know about half of the elements she agreed to (and proposed) herself. But hopefully that's finally done and within a couple months I'll have my final divorce papers. By the time all is said and done, it will be almost 3 years to get the divorce finalized.

@thurloat Well the dual driver is interesting, but the tech I'm curious about, supposedly automatically adjusting the equalizer based on the sound profile they capture of your ear.
But from reviews I've seen apparently both the dual driver and sound profile are very good and pretty consistent.

Really excited for my #Nura headphones to arrive today. I've heard fantastic things from folks who have already received theirs.
It will be great to have a really good pair of headphones for a change. Not just some cheap $20 pair.

Last night was a delightfully busy night for my ADS-B receiver. I always love watching the flights passing by, and picking out any unique ones like private jets or military aircraft.
But even the regular commercial flights are very interesting to watch and check out. And sometimes you can even find their pilots on Twitter discussing their routes prior to take off.

@ink_slinger I don't think it's as much a statement as that though. Avatar, even at the time, had a knock off story line. What it did bring was the biggest effort and expense spent on bringing the full 3D effect to theatres.
Avatar made 3D part of the experience and movie and not just a gimmick added to the movie.

@ink_slinger that is horrible! I could understand maybe choosing to auto _block_ push notifications but not too allow them. That is just aggravating.
I've seen some sites, like the Beaverton, request notifications which it has no need to ever do

@ink_slinger yeah sadly it's not the first of questionable practices I've seen. From the "for your security don't click on email links, download this attachment to read why" to "click this unsolicited email to reset your corporate email to sign up for a backup account for email resets". And don't get me started on their git workflows

Ugh! So my office implemented a spam filter. To prevent people from being spammed or falling for phishing attacks.
Problem is, for ever piece of spam I receive, I receive a notification from the spam filter saying "We received what we believe to be spam" and they list the subject and sender. I can then choose to allow the email. Or allow the sender as a whole.
For. Every. Piece. Of. Spam...

Bah, I really need to start keeping an open Mastodon tab again. I did for quite some time and then stopped, maybe due to work and getting things done (I think I was VPNing into the office a lot. Traffic monitoring and such). Anywho... Yeah more moostodon...

@GrooveStomp So branches like FEATURE/115293-FIX-THE-THING are all right up your alley then? heh

One of my favorite pastimes lately has been using an RTL-SDR connected to a raspberry pi as an ADB-S receiver.

I've always been an #avgeek and being able to see the radio signals from planes passing overhead is constantly fascinating to me. Plus by providing the data to sites like FlightRadar24 and FlightAware I get an Enterprise level account to be able to see more info on fights and tracking features.

I've been separated over two and a half years. Only finally making progress on getting a divorce. And yet my ex, who still lives with the man she cheated on me with, continually expects me to support her financially.
I try to be civil with her for our son's sake but these expectations and anger when she is inevitably disappointed I won't give her thousands a month, makes it very difficult to do

@ink_slinger yeah they're decisions in this seemed to really go against what most other provinces and even federally decided.
They claim it's too to police what can be grown at home, but let's be honest, unless it was an entire feild outside they generally wouldn't care either way and at that point there's no saying it was just the personal allowance amount

My Pixel 2 XL should arrive today. Canada Post shows it out for delivery. Now the excruciating task of waiting for the delivery truck.. chances are not until around 3pm. 😩
