Facebook exodus?
Comments (64)" There are plenty of people who think their every thought is print worthy."-yep)) I don't like FB and try to avoid it, now more than ever i'm using a nickname there so only certain people can figure out who i am. i don't have many friends, and my profile is not public. i spent too many years in discussions, political etc, on big forums, and i'm deadly tired of that, so i try not to participate in discussions, and if i say a sentence i usually regret it. so even with having such a modest degree of participation, and reading/writing in a very selective way-i find this platform to be extremely overwhelming, and not fitted well for any serious discussions even just because of how it's built..while you're reading someone's link the original post is already at the bottom of the page..i hardly can find my own old post, let alone somebody else's. the thought that somebody might want to comment on something not the same very moment, obviously wasn't the thought behind creating FB. it's very "right now". doesn't exactly promote thoughtfulness or high level of discussion. the only thing it does very well-handles photos. so i keep this account to show family photos, and i come from time to time to check on friends..i have a feeling they're upset with me if i disappear, maybe a wrong one. I know for sure we communicated more, not less, before they talked me into opening the FB account. I think it actually harms relationships-because so little effort needed to be in touch, that you end up calling less, you write less letters...you seemingly know more,communicate more, but actually-no, you don't. to me, it's a surrogate. i realize it can be useful, but i think more is sacrificed than is gained. something essential is lacking, in that model of communication. i did follow some very interesting prominent people..the problem i can't read only them, i start reading comments..:) maybe for people who started with FB as social media platform, later than me who spent years on forums beforehand, it feels different, they're eager to participate, share opinions, and get to know others, as i was many years ago. i'm not eager to share opinions and to get to know new friends..i just want to treasure the ones i've got already. and i don't find FB helpful in that matter, at all i also become very upset when people who i love and respect or just like and respect say enormous amount of..well insert your own, since i'm finding it hard to find a polite word for that. i do participate in one small forum, the only one i'm really attached to, and I really try to spare mine and others' feelings by not commenting, and trying to do it in a very reserved way when i do. takes a lot of mental energy lol. i became much more impatient with ..lets call us humanity,,in the past few years. FB did contribute to that I think. the fact that i lived in several countries doesn't help. too many topics get to be too sensitive. because they're too close to home so to say-and it appears i have several homes, after all. and every one of them is a mess, right now, in its own unique way. i think the more i keep my sanity-the more genuinely useful i can be to people. FB doesn't help me with the sanity issue sorry for the long ramblings.....See MoreChinese coronavirus
Comments (78)True, raee, but students of all ethnicities travel during school breaks too. As do many people with no cultural or ancestral connection to various places they visit. I simply thought your calling out Asian students was random and your comment wasn't clear. I now understand what you were saying. My relative is not a student and went there for a touristic visit. And is leaving today. There's lots of business travel to Asia from my area and I would guess that people whose ancestry is not from China/Korea are well represented among the people who do so. If I recall correctly, KT participant Sephia (or Sepia) had regular, maybe monthly, trips to China as part of her work. She may be of Asian ancestry, she's never said. But her trips were unrelated to family history, that's all, and I'm sure she encountered many "regulars" on the flight....See MoreWhat would you change about yourself?
Comments (49)I think there is that balance between saying yes more, and saying no more. I am in several groups, but I have learned that I enjoy participating and helping but I do not want to be the organizer or in charge. It is not always well received, but I do say no to taking on the big responsibility of running some of these groups. I always say I will assist and do just about whatever task is needed, but just the task- not the administration. I know myself and have too many memories of really regretting taking on the big jobs. Even if it were a small time commitment, my recollection is that it usuall happened at a time when I had little to spare and I resented it. I think when people are suggesting an activity, I try to be more inclined to say yes than to think of why it can't work. Not sure if this made sense, but that is what I mean about the saying yes more and saying no more. "it depends".lol...See MoreIt's January 2025. How's Your Build Going?
Comments (20)I designed the asymmetrical roof profile to maximize the southern side for PV. After an hour with the engineers at the link below, we are going DC lighting all the way. I am very excited to get a system that just takes the DC and does jobs with it @48v I can omit their power supplies from the cabinet and run DC up from the bank. They have ceiling fans, exhaust fans, and now I am looking at DC circulation for the hydronic heating. That may be a bridge too far, but we will see. I am an old FreeBSD guy from the 90's and this system gets set up with a Raspberry Pi, and integrates with Phillips Hue and other home automation via the Pi. The cost breakdown was competitive IMO, and things like programmed color gradient, fade to warm, perfect flicker free dimming, N-way programmable switching rather than the old 14-3 running all over for 3 ways are all attractive. I wanted LED strip lighting under my handrails for navigation up to the sundeck and this will be cake. Their smart switch will allow color adjustment with the dimmer slider. It is not a flip switch, it is a momentary. Hold it and the dimmer slider becomes the color adjuster for that whole circuit. Release and it is the dimmer. The same switch will provide 12VDC to a bathroom fan and operate the lights and fan on motion, when paired with one of the PIR fixtures or an industry standard sensor. I will do that for the guest powder room. https://awg18.com/...See MoreRelated Professionals
