@gpowerf And it'll probably still be too expensive. I've read that they're huge in maintenance cost.

@mur2501 Sign language? And I talk when the recipient is hearing.

@mur2501 He could make huge signs, which would be similar to shouting. ;)

@gpowerf Sounds like real life to me too. ;) Besides the killing part.

@grumpasaurus Last evening I ate brussel sprouts. With ramen, eggs, etc. Was nicely filling. :)

@BioFris@mastodon.nl Ah, de .tech miste ik. Yup, hetzelfde idee. Praktisch gezien gewoon RSS feeds voor de Fediverse.

birdsite.platypush lijkt geen site te zijn? Kan je een voorbeeldaccount opgeven? Maar gezien die naam zou het me ook niet verbazen als het een andere twitter-volgservice is.

@BioFris@mastodon.nl Da's een Twitter-volgservice. Het is niet haar echte ActivityPub-account hiero voor zover ik het kan zien.

@StroomAfwaarts Oh, I don't know. I only know that I didn't care to take off my HAs back then while it rained... So I wonder where this overly careful attitude suddenly comes from, she wasn't the first one to be panicky about HAs and rain.

@TheOldGuy Oh, then I only have one answer to that:

Brrrrrr! :blobfreezing:

@TheOldGuy 7C isn't snow-worthy though, it should be below 4C for some potential on wet snow, and 0C or lower for real snow.

@c_dan4th If any, sign language is pretty damn blunt. Can't pretend stuff doesn't exist. :D

I see that people with hearing aids are kind of panicky about their hearing aids.. There's someone at my place now who's slightly hard of hearing, so she's got hearing aids. When I needed her to help me a little bit with something outdoors, she was like nonono, it's raining and my hearing aids shouldn't get wet!

I said there was a simple solution then, just take them off for a bit. Oh nonono, she couldn't possibly do that. They need to stay on!

Wtf? They're just hearing aids, man. It's not like your life depends on them. I'm frigging deaf, I'm living proof that not being able to hear isn't going to hurt you. Let alone not being able to hear for 5 minutes. :P

I kind of remember this bit from my own past when I still wore hearing aids. 90% of my time was spent worrying if the battery was still full enough for me to hear something. Fucking things, I should've gone fully deaf sooner.
