I have been using Telegram for… A really long time. A decade? Maybe not that long. But yeah, no reason to change from what works for me. You’re right about that.
Signal and Matrix(?) and the others all seem to be a recent development, and although I have downloaded a few, no one else has them or has heard of them, so their directories are empty as I have never found anyone who wants to connect that way. It means I don’t know how to use or teach older people how to use the software. I am trying to find a simple evidence-based way to encourage my family to change their minds, but it appears it will only make me look paranoid, so probably won’t try.
Turkeys might not be able to fly as adults, but they can glide just fine. If not affected by the downdraft under a helicopter rotor, which would affect any birds ability to fly.
So I figured I would google it, evidently some USian reference… First few links were to when students drop out of Uni or other tertiary education, apparently they are referred to as turkeys, and turkey dropouts. For some reason. Or alternatively they break up with their partners.
But apparently that is a reference to dropping live turkeys out of a helicopter in a sitcom. It sounds somewhat bloodthirsty, and I do not want to see such a thing, though I can imagine… Terrifyingly that is apparently a reference to a real world event of dropping live turkeys from the back of a moving truck…
Okay. Huh.
I knew Americans were weird about turkeys and have a holiday set aside for them, but this seems ridiculous somehow.
Is Cincinatti when the turkeys drop considered a good or a bad thing? My wiki walk has led me other places now, but it seemed all to be negative consequences?
ATLANTA (AP) — Jimmy Carter has always been a man of discipline and habit. But the former president will break routine Sunday, putting off his practice of quietly watching church services online to instead celebrate his 99th birthday with his wife, Rosalynn, and their children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren in Plains....
…If he lives in a one storey house (makes me wonder seeing as most people do live in a one storey house, but I guess he could live in an apartment or something) why is there a picture of a two storey house in the cake photo? weirdness.
