Not ideal, but thanks for checking back in.
I hope things start to improve

Yeah, it is quite a popular export, especially with the Chinese

Real mānuka honey only comes from New Zealand . It is made from the nectar bees collect from the flowers of the native mānuka bush (leptospermum scoparium). It is a combination of the nectar and the way the bee turns it into honey that gives it its unique properties.

You would have no doubt seen this in the news a few years ago

The worldā€™s rarest and most expensive honey happens to come from New Zealand and itā€™s just got even rarer and pricier. A Dannevirke business is reaping the benefits of its prized manuka honey which is flying off the shelves at Harrods for nearly $5000 a jar.

I actually have a lot of Manuka on my property and neighbouring properties, and I have a Flow Hiveā€¦but no bees at the moment (long boring story) but I will likely get a colony this season.

If you were in NZ I would send you the honey for free.
Iā€™m not a huge honey fan, I only have the hive to support the bee population

I appreciate it.

Your accident sounded way worse.

  1. I know I made a bad call by not calling the cops. I was fed a sob story of her picking up her dying son, which is believeable.

  2. I lucked out and she text me that night she was sorry for hitting me and to reach out to a specific place for a quote. Insurance lady was very happy to have a copy of this.

  3. She is a local small town public figure on some societies and boards. We have 1 main way from her town to the highway, everyone leaving would see my sign. I have too much time, and not enough to do on my hands.

@Eriequiet for suing, I might before I do the whole sign thing. Once the insurance portion is done, I will text her and ask for my deductible plus 500. So prolly $1000. I donā€™t feel that is unreasonable, as it took my valuable time to go get her quote instead of letting insurance deal with it. I really donā€™t want to stand publicly with a sing shaming her, but I will. I also donā€™t want to preemptively ruin any chances if I do sue.

Kinda.

But fuck, sorry to hear that. I canā€™t imagine being in an accident leaving marks that long.

Yeah, this is been a saving grace for me. Iā€™ve realized I need to do me. Hence why Iā€™m not online a lot. Itā€™s fall, and Iā€™m getting the outdoors in before -32 degrees

Itā€™s made a world of difference in my mental health.

Started taking Wellbutrin again and forgot it gives me horrid anxiety for the first few weeksā€¦ so Iā€™m sitting here worrying about my new implant for no reason. Health anxiety is of course my preferred flavor. Real nice bouquet on that.

So like my dumbass intrusive thoughts are inventing situations out of nothing and taking my normal everyday pain to try to make me panicky.

All the while Iā€™m cognizant enough to try to tell it ā€œNo it probably isnā€™t rubbing on the blood vessel and making a huge blood clot that will make me have a stroke, heart attack and seizure all at once.ā€ Because thatā€™s absurdā€¦ Literally just my brain inventing random stuff. Whatā€™s the basis for this? My hand is a bit sore and my shoulder hurtsā€¦ I have shoulder instability and it hurts quite often.

Just wanted to rant about my stupid electric cholesterol and its flights of fancy. Why canā€™t it use that creative thinking to write a book or something?

Didnā€™t feel it warranted a thread of its own.

Edit: In slightly funnier news. The nurse practitioner at work is always interested in what Iā€™m doing to myself (I play around with supplements, like trying to force my curly hair genes to express because I had curly hair as a kid.). She thought the blinky was super cool and one of the other NPs was like ā€œhow do you take it out?ā€ When I said itā€™d have to be cut out the interested NP offered to do it if I ever needed it soā€¦ Partner in stabbing me? Yay.

Itā€™s quite common for people involved in a car accident to get PTSD from it. Seek some counseling if you think you need it. Heck, even if you think you donā€™t it might be beneficial anyways.

Speaking of RFID locks, recently Iā€™ve installed several of them in a Hotel, maybe I should post about it.

I couldnā€™t try them with my Next chip cause I havenā€™t installed it yet, BUT they support ISO 14443 fixed UID cards, DESFire cards (they actually load an app on the card when enrolling it), and the readers light the DT keychain brightly, so I have the suspicion they might work with glass implants

Years ago, I bought my first house. There was a stump sticking up in the back yard that made mowing difficult, so I got a shovel and dug it up. Then I just kept going. After a bit, Iā€™ve got a big pile of dirt and a fair sized hole. When people would ask what I dug the hole for, Iā€™d just smile and say, ā€œbecause I couldā€.

That sounds really interesting, weā€™re you able to watch what was happening?

Technically itā€™s defining an app IDā€¦ kinda like defining an NDEF record on a standard NFC chip. Itā€™s not code being loaded to the desfire chip itā€™s just a file being created and given a specific application ID (aid). Critical difference between that and loading code.

The only reason Iā€™m pointing it out is I just had this conversation with someone else about how desfire works.

Thank you for the correction! Iā€™ll go study how it actually works then lol

ā€¦ what city is it?

Only a couple miles from my current place,

We wanted to move nearer a slightly bigger city since the small town we are in, is lacking

But it was a good deal, so it is what it is

I think that this is relevant to some of the stuff Iā€™ve seen in a few online communities that have ideas that are related to what weā€™re doing here.

Donā€™t fall for undue influence, fellow cyborgs.

Probably some of the people from the crazy thread could benefit as well.

You are absolutely correct, I am from Norway.
and as a Norwegian I must admit Iā€™m a bit sceptical of meetups.

As you can see from this scientific image, we tend to keep a perfectly normal distance to eachother. - A UK invasion though? we tend to be closer to the Finns :wink:

Jokes aside, I live nearby Oslo :upside_down_face:

Third anniversary badge obtained :slight_smile: Crazy to think that itā€™s almost been two years since I got my implants, and over four years since I first made my accountā€¦

I might not be posting as much lately, but I still try and stay up to date on everything (this thread in particular).

Congrats @Eriequiet on the new home, and @Backpackingvet and @Zwack hoping the absolute best for both of your situationsā€¦

Iā€™ve rapidly learned this year that walking is probably the only thing thatā€™s kept me alive to this point. It really does do something to just go walk somewhere, with nothing but your mind + some music or a podcast to keep you company.

Iā€™ve been walking way more thanks to recent stress/other issues, and if I happen to go more than two days without a recreational walk, I get in such a shit mood. Earlier today I was really rough, so I just got back from a 9 mile walk. Feel a lot better now. Hope it continues to help you as well.
