Zoom is spy software.When will you join me on a Zoom call?
And even without them there's too many scams going on with people copying e.g. fingerprints from high-resolution cameras to make me comfortable with video calls.

Don't listen to the crazy technophobes.Yeah, Mary. Why are you trying to scan my fingerprints?
@Valka D'Ur I'm sorry, I didn't really mean at all to direct that at you.
No, you are punishing us.
When will you join me on a Zoom call?
You didn't do another one.
Listen to the sane ones e.g. me!
I know, I'm sorryYou didn't do another one.
If there's interest for another, I'd be up for hosting.

I never did buy a camera. The antique one I had I couldn't make run.

Might be fun at some point.
In real rant talk, there's a an unholy mixture of fruit flies and mosquitoes making this house their home.

Yeah. That's one more reason to hate september. My organic flytraps-robins nesting outside the kitchen window-have departed south, but the flies are still around.
The manager here can't tell the difference between a shelf and a dresser. He said a tenant left a shelf behind, I asked to see it, he said yes, and so we went to have a look at it.
Turns out it's a rather lovely 9-drawer dresser that's far too big to fit in my apartment (unless I toss out my current dresser and another shelf to make room). So he's just going to throw it away.
What a shame. It's a good, solid piece of furniture that would be very useful otherwise.

Pretty much all of my furniture is secondhand. In some areas I am very tightfisted, and I have absolutely no shame in my eclectic design tastes.
Unfortunately, your dresser is about 9000 km too far for me.

My dresser is the same cheap fiberboard one from Target I've been using since I was 3.
Some of my furniture is 3rd or 4th-hand by now. The manager here got anxious yesterday about the dishwasher, asking if I wanted the new one. I asked if he could just take the old one out and not bother with a new one, but noooOOOOoooo... they have to waste room in the kitchen with an appliance I don't need. I'd rather they put more drawers in, since there's only one. I had to make a choice between tools or cutlery. The tools won, so that's where the hammer, nails, screwdrivers, etc. are.
He started blathering about the fridge not matching the dishwasher (new fridge, old dishwasher, and I told him I didn't care, as long as the fridge works, without randomly freezing stuff (sometimes I open the fridge to find the milk has frozen solid). Most of my furniture doesn't match, though I try to keep it in the same general color scheme. Years ago someone who was helping me move asked if I really wanted to keep one of the shelves, and when I asked why I shouldn't, he said, "It's blue."
Well, yeah, it's blue. It's also at least 60-70 years old, and belonged to my grandparents before I snaffled it for a bookshelf, back when all my books could fit on one small shelf (40+ years ago). It's the perfect size for my CDs and cassette tapes now.
Actually, I did think of a possible way to use this large dresser, as long as the mirror could be removed. It would make a great TV stand, and some of the DVD collection could go in the drawers, thus freeing up a bookshelf for books.
I'll have to think about this and do some measuring. It really is a shame to waste that dresser. He said I have a couple of weeks to think it over.

Rant: I dropped a heavy mug on my foot. Thankfully neither of them seem to be broken. I think my foot is going to bruise though.

English is for the birds.
Rant: sometimes I’ll post something that I think “hey, that’s something you don’t see every day” and then it fails to get any traction at all. Then I post something I find totally benign and forgettable, and then I’m inundated with responses.
Don’t take anything I say too seriously.
I don’t.

Sounds like a good time.

How about looking at old toys you had when you were a child? A trip down memory lane. I think I’ll start a thread on it after I pull out my laundry.
I still have yet to reply to the state capitols one, and my thoughts on public broadcasting, and the one on old computers. I should get around to them!
