@CreativeChris Thanks. @Bruce was the one who asked about it. I just checked and the price is $1495. irie-at.com/product/irie-brail…

Hey, I know some of my followers are avid sound effect collectors. I'm looking for a better copy of the Babylon 5 door chime sound effect that I have attached to this toot. It's the only one I can find, but it's not good enough to use as a notification sound on my phone. Apparently, there are multipple door chime sounds. I can find decent copies of the other one but not this one. #audio #SoundEffect #Babylon5 #SciFi

@DavidGoldfield You don't know if there are any audio describe versions do you? I am watching it without but would prefer it if possible. I find that for some shows it takes them time to find their footing during the first and maybe even second seasons, but that’s not the case with Babylon five. They are doing an excellent job of laying the foundation for things to come.

Unfortunately, I'm not aware of any audio description added to any of the episodes or movies in the Babylon 5 franchise. This was disappointing, considering it was and still might be streaming on Max and they've been good at adding audio description to many of their assets. Even the new animated movie "the Road Home" had no AD. What I use to help me fill in the gaps with visual scenes is the Lurker's Guide to Babylon 5; just try to avoid spoilers. 😀

It took almost 9.5 years to make 20,000 edits with OsmAnd for OpenStreetMap. Thanks to Quick Action it has recently become easier and faster. But since the introduction of Streetcomplete and especially Mapcomplete, I've been mapping a little less with OsmAnd lately. Let's see how long I need for the next 10,000.

Ville de Montréal has an ambitious EV charging station target of 11,000 by 2030 [READ: in LESS THAN 5 years]...

Seeing as it took Ville de Montréal more than 6 YEARS to install 3,000 EV charging stations, I'm not convinced.

We had our EV charging station installed in LESS than 1 month, so it's DOABLE, but I don't trust this city and its boroughs to get it done.

> As a payment system must comply with local laws in order to operate legally, GNU Taler must be designed to comply with these requirements. GNU Taler must provide an audit trail for investigators operating under the law. Furthermore, we consider levying of taxes as beneficial to society, and fair taxation requires income transparency. Thus, GNU Taler must enable authorities to track income.

okay

> Private. When you pay with Taler, your identity does not have to be revealed. Just like payments in cash, nobody else can track how you spent your electronic money. However, you obtain a legally valid proof of payment.

These two things are incompatible. So I don't know how they can claim to eliminate fraud but then allow anonymous payments?

You really think the EU or USA is going to allow GNU Taler payments when they're cracking down on cash and bank transactions because of KYC requirements?

Absolutely no way in hell this is going to be allowed in its current state. You'll have to pay the capital gains tax on everything you convert back to dollars in the USA, guaranteed.

Y'all we got these mofos running scared.

And Josh Fucking Hawley is the EXPERT on running scared. Look at him go! 😂 🏃🏼

The GoFundMe for Clara is up and live. Please share and donate if you're able. Every little bit helps her to get out of this situation. I'd like to see her out before Kitty's indicted or before the bank realizes they put a much earlier date on the eviction notice they sent her. gofund.me/d9d4d7be
