"get people around you to download bitchat...and chat with them here!" To me, this is the Achilles heel. So, I'm going to walk over, convince someone to download an app, then connect and chat with them over the phone? Bitchat needs range. Why I wrote this:

Kayaking yesterday, these were floating, like tiny lily pads Leaves about 2mm diameter. I thought it was an algae, but apparently it's duckweed. I learned something yesterday. The photo (hard to capture) is very Monet-esque.

Went kayaking yesterday and was almost directly underneath this fellow before I noticed. I'd say I was #birdwatching but he was doing more people watching.

After attending an art showing, saw this beautiful church and courtyard. Although it seems very cozy, the tables and umbrellas make it seem rather coffee-shoppish (I don't particularly like that).

Another through-the-window view of when the #art outside is as good as the art inside at the showing. (And the art inside was actually good.) #photography

Attending an #art showing or opening is fun, but I've found that I'm often just as intrigued by what's outside. Peering out this window seemed like a scene ready to be painted. #photography

Went to an educational and experimental #farm. You could sack up potatoes and pick sweet peas. Fun.

In theory, since bitchat is Bluetooth based, it could work over reticulum, right?

After stripping a coneflower's head, I kind of see where the name came from. Looking it up, there's a bit more to it. It's from the Greek root word and refers to the sea urchin like spiny #nature of the flower, which forms cone shaped. I will be trying to seed them. Learn stuff every day. #gardening

A soundtrack made from a post about fighting a rabbit who is nipping off my tomato plants. This is what #AI was invented for. https://www.riffusion.com/song/32407e94-9847-4423-a943-2e45ff19ac7a Post the song was derived from:

My opinion of Jack's bitchat is evolving, see https://w3.do/aOTZzvuF First thought: reticulum > bitchat because radio waves have greater range than bluetooth. But, reticulum (and meshtastic) requires specialized hardware. Few people have or will get this. Second thought: people already have a bluetooth phone in their hand. So, maybe bitchat > reticulum by sheer power of numbers of devices possible. (It would still need to become stupid-simple and dummy-proof as a UX though.)

The Rabbit War of 2025 has commenced. Each summer I engage in rodent wars - chipmunks, squirrels, and rabbits. In the past, chipmunks have been the nemeses. I once started C.H.i.R.P. = Chipmunk Habitat Relocation Program for trapping and moving them. I think 18 chipmunks were relocated, none harmed. Below is a gif showing the traps: it goes it, bait is in the rear, trips the trigger, trapped. This year, it's rabbits. I had two nice tomato plants almost ready to be transplanted into the ground. A rabbit nipped one off, left it on the ground. I started more baby tomato plants. The rabbit nipped half of them off. So, I brought in the milk crate cover. If the problem persists, the next step is the rabbit trap and relocation. Stay tuned.

#Bitchat sounds like #Reticulum but with less range. Am I missing something here?

I see a lot of rappers doing movies, TV shows, and commercials for things like car repair insurance. Whatever happened to "don't sell out"? Or was "don't sell out" just a ploy to build a brand, make money, get famous enough in order to then actually sell out? #streetcred is a scam.

Strangely, I woke up thinking about sleep. Particularly, I thought of how people often say, "I don't sleep much, but I lie in bed and rest." Then I thought to myself: Lying in bed, resting, and feeling it's the same as actually sleeping is like lying on the couch, thinking of exercising, and feeling it's the same as actually exercising. Get your sleep, people. And, ironically, exercising helps with sleep.

New words (to me) Some people love words, where they come from, how they related to other words. Because I forgot that word for this, I had to look it up and they're called logophiles (from the Greek logos=word and ... Bridged via Hostr at
