Depends on the situation. I would accept conscription for myself as a measure of last resort ie. defence. I probably wouldn’t be much use to them anyway so they would have to be really desperate!! I also kind of like how the Swiss military service works, everyone does it, knowing it will probably never be needed… because it teaches life skills etc.
On the other hand I don’t think I could get behind the US conscription for Vietnam or Russia conscription for Ukraine.

!nihilism@lemmy.world was created last week but not much there yet.

This is the best answer and why I was thinking it wouldn’t be possible but couldn’t come up with a good explanation.
Also Cunninghams law in action… post a dumb answer and someone will give the right answer. Thanks.

Not sure it would be possible but got me thinking. The brain consists of around 100 billion neurons with a charge of around 0.07 volts at rest. That is a theoretical 7 billion volts. I am not a doctor or electrician but that would have to go somewhere, presumably earth. No idea of the consequences somewhere between none and spontaneous combustion would be my guess!!

I was surprised when I looked into digital nomad visas last year, how cheap an airbnb was to book for a month out of season.

Edit, missed that they said a week or 2

Career wise I find myself in a similar position. Roles in my niche skill set are largely offshore or contract positions now. I don’t like the idea of management. I love doing what I do… fixing bugs, investigating complex problems, not talking to people for days!!

I have been debating trainer or tester roles. There is also Scrum master as a possibility but I think that would be too regimented for me, there doesn’t seem to be much scope to adapt the scrum model for different situations - at least the way my employer does it!

Just some ideas, I don’t have much good advice as I’m spinning my wheels without a clear direction at the moment.

While I concede your general point on the practicalities of responsible pet ownership and exotic pets, I imagine that what you are saying about vets be fairly region specific. Indoor birds are the 3rd most popular pet in the UK… albeit with only 3% of households as cats and dogs dominate here. There are 2 vets that service birds within 2 miles of me and one is an exotic specialist. Location was not specified so I suggested some of the more common options if the most popular ones are not suitable.

Guinea pig maybe (perhaps a larger breed) although you might still be allergic). I find rabbits aren’t really that interested in playing but don’t know about guinea pigs. If fur is totally out, maybe something like an iguana (but the only one i know of is jubjub on the simpsons). I think this would depend where you live as well. Birds like budgies could be good but the only experience I have is of friends pets, and they stank.

The Sync for reddit dev is working on a lemmy version but its a few weeks away. I’m using connect till then… the current version is pretty good and similar enough to sync for my uses.

Think I prefer the top logo but with the sharing of the bottom

Good point hadn’t spotted that. Just checked the official logo has whiskers like yours but not going over the face. Maybe thats why it feels off.

You could make the world the head rather than the nose… also whiskers coming from around the nose and maybe a little thinner.

Its a bit tricky to get the hang of but inkscape could be good for logo design. Could also use one of these AI image generators.
