   @thndrbvr @dorkbird Did you ever try #I2P? I found the app in #F-droid, so I installed it, but it took years before it actually worked on any of my devices. Then, once I finally got it working, I found a directory in which most of the links were dead ... there was no longer a site there.

   Used to be #sonOne’s favorite show. I really didn’t watch it or even see more than a few minutes, but I was subjected to my son imitating everything they said. (Highly irritating.)

   Speaking of Helen Reddy, I remember when she was touring the country, trying to build up momentum behind her song “I Am Woman”. I saw an interview about it on a local TV station (ISTR she had been touring with the song a couple of years at that point, but my memory could be inaccurate) ... a few months later, I heard it on the radio, and the song became a hit.

   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3wE1sKKZqos Yvonne Eliman and Helen Reddy ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WOCwE5D9Ghk ) both released this song around the same time. From what I’ve read, both were top-40 hits. But I only remember hearing YE’s version.

   This has been working okay, but I think
   
   if filehandle ~= nil then
   return filehandle, true
   else
   return nil, false
   end
   
   will more directly say what I mean. I need to read a little more to figure out which is more "idiomatic" for the language. (Or maybe ask @amic, who has used the language more than I have.)

   One #Kansas farmer feeds more than 155 people--and you!
   
   Or so the signs say. https://nu.federati.net/url/273351
   
   #KS #farming
   
   I do not know where the number is derived from. But if other "factory farm" type agricultural enterprises are similarly productive, then they may feed the bulk of the world's population.

    I’m trying to think how long it has been since I’ve seen #Daddy_A in person. Once, for about four hours, three years ago. Before that, maybe another 2-3 years (that time was about an hour), and before that maybe a year?
    
    So the last time I saw them regularly was before they moved away (first to #AZ, then to #NE).

    Sort of craving a burger. Tempted to walk about a mile and grab either the Beyond Beef Famous Star burger or the Guacamole Bacon Cheeseburger. I can consider it reconnaissance for tomorrow or the next day, when I get to see #Daddy_A and family.
    
    It is 98F / 37C outside, so I need to ask myself if I want it enough to go out in that heat.

    In the late 1990s, when I had a computer running #Win95, with 32MB of RAM, one of my brothers had started playing an online game with "hive" as part of its name. Anyway, I was recently curious and wondered what the original game was and whether it was still around. I don't have a firm conclusion, but I did discover at least one "hive" game that currently exists. http://status.h…

Interestingly (at least, to me), the purchasing folks at $EMPLOYER are not allowed to use #Amazon specifically because a single purchase gets broken down into multiple transactions and shipments. It triggers the auditors…

    Maybe I should try to get her a Mac Mini to replace one or both laptops. One brother went Apple ... I should ask him about it.

    For this week's #Friday_Flashback I am going to send my siblings links to songs by George McCrae ("Rock Your Baby", 1974) and his ex-wife Gwen McCrae ("Rocking Chair", 1975). Don't be surprised if they appear here first.

    @mangeurdenuage It can be irritating when people choose not to learn and then lean on friends and family members to do for them what they could do for themselves. I am glad your aunt has a wonderful nephew who can help her get through those situations.
