Amazing! It's been a minute or two since I've been in Oregon. Probably a 
couple of years pre-covid. I went across 20, down to Newport, and up the 
coast. I lucked out and the weather was great until I got to Port Angeles 
and the skies opened up. It was monsoon until I got over Stevens Pass.

That was more restful than the trip where I went from Grants Pass to Gold 
Beach the hard way. At least I got to hike Mt. Bolivar. A few years later 
some guy died in that area when his GPS showed a 'shortcut'. The car got 
stuck in snow and he went for help. The wife and kids stayed with the car 
and survived. There is a lot of road around the Wild Rogue Wilderness, all 
of it pretty bad.

   Never been to Oregon ... and, now-WOKE, see NO reason
   to ever go there. Seems like somebody is putting LSD in
   the water supply up the entire west coast.

   Gimme a Stetson and some cowboy boots and I could be
   happy until the end.

Filling the tank so much that gasoline spills when moving, if the cap is 
loose, means the tank has been filled way too much over the limit. This 
is bad for a modern car and can cause an expensive breakdown.

   My sentiments and more.

   And if something doesn't get registered, it's
   the CHECKERS fault, not mine.

   I go to the food store maybe every ten days to
   get a few items (now VERY expensive - but half
   of that is my fav, cashew nuts). It's always
   "10 items or less". Walk right by "self" and
   go to the 10-items lane instead. Get to say
   "Hi !", get to watch each item individually
   scanned by the employee. Get to say "THANKS !"
   and get a little smile. MUCH better.

   Alas by many reports, Gen-Z/A2 are TERRIFIED to
   actually interact with strange humans, even over
   a phone line. Dunno WHAT'S behind that but it's
   pretty damned bad.

   A few weeks back a pleasant little bagger gal
   commented on the Archeology mag I bought - she
   was pretty sharp and the short exchange made
   me feel good. Gen-Z might have freaked at
   her 'rude judgemental intrusion' into their
   precious insular 'space'.

   I've never used 'bonus points' ever.

   And really never use the CCard for anything
   but online payments.

   Hey, SKIP the 'bonus' bullshit ... just lower
   the price a little and be done with it.

   One store I go to always wants me to put in my
   phone number. WON'T. "But you will save x-dollars!".
   My reply is the same - "They're not giving discounts
   unless they expect to make MORE off me some way".

   In theory yes ... half the time YOU eat the diff, the
   other half of the time the store eats the diff. However
   the logical 'average' though, customers CHAFE at the
   idea of being 'cheated' out of a couple of pennies every
   time it happens.

   Still think my 'plastic penny' idea has merit here.
   Ultra-cheap and makes people FEEL like they're not
   being cheated.

   Familiar with ISDN numbers ... usually found on books ?
   It's a long number to which is applied some complex math
   formula. This verifies that it's an ACCURATE number when
   the math adds up Just So. Put something like that in the
   plastic penny 'holo-ribbon' and only issue x-many pennies
   with that number. If MORE start to show up, forgeries,
   banks PULL and INVALIDATE that series. Melt 'em down
   and re-mold. Not an 'instant' process, but 'longer term
   forgery moderation'. As it's only pennies, forgeries
   are not gonna add up to a huge amount.

   Oh, also a GREAT way to re-cycle those PET water bottles :-)

Most of the stores in town don't have a 'n items or less' aisle anymore.

When we're at the pub, my wife often strikes up a
conversation with the waitress while we're paying
our bill.  She's good at getting someone's life
history out of them.  Many of these people are
there to pay the bills while going to school -
and taking interesting and useful courses,
not just fluff.  It's reassuring to see that
at least some people are trying to make something
of their lives.

   Checkers/waiters/etc are NOT alien drones. SOME
   are idiots but MOST are "people". Some are BRIGHT
   people. They're not evil or devils.

   Odd how the rise of "social networks" resulted in
   the kiddies becoming very UN-social. Some new
   thinking paradigm emerged.

   Either that or Mommy WAS smoking enough crack to
   warp their little brains ......

The pattern is kids come to UM, fall in love with the area, and stay after 
they graduate. We may have the most well educated baristas, waiters, and 
shoe clerks in the world.

   Ummm ... ok ..... but is that overall useful ?  :-)

   Anyway, from reading, really seems like a LOT
   of Gen-Z/A2 act like they're kinda far up "the
   spectrum" when it comes to random social interaction.

   They're the kind who will TEXT the Uber driver - "over
   by the yellow sign" rather than just SAY "over by the
   yellow sign".

   NOT sure of the whats and whys for this.

   Probably multi-factor, no one convenient answer.

   But it STARTED with 'online'-everything - a
   blank gap between "Me" and "Them".

   ANYway ... NO reason to be mean to those with
   'service' jobs at all. Most are very decent.
   Don't even care if they can write 'C' - not
   THAT many can or ever will anyhow.

When the self checkout lanes went in the 'express' lanes were shutdown. 
That means you get to wait behind someone with a cart that's wheels are on 
the verge of collapsing. If you're really lucky there won't be a long 
sorting of food stamp eligible items from the rest, the EBT card will have 
enough to cover the eligible items, and the shopper won't have to cycle 
through more than three credit/debit cards to find one that isn't 
declined.

Besides one of my personal failings is I'd rather deal with the mutts over 
at animal services or the 'community' cats that show up at mealtime. The 
latter are friendly to me but are definitely their own cats. 

I'm socialized enough to make small talk with a cashier but I'd rather 
not.

   Hmmm, never ran into anything THAT bad ! :-)

   At worst it's someone with a couple stolen
   cards and no valid PIN numbers.

   Worst case was a woman at a food store who wanted
   hundreds of dollars, small bills, from the card she
   was carrying (best bet NOT hers). The store had to
   actually raid several registers to produce what she
   demanded. They should have called the cops instead,
   but they don't want any "trouble".

   Some convenience stores offer "cash" - but limit
   it to ten or fifteen dollars. THAT works, makes
   fraud mostly Not Worth It.

   I rather like it ..... adds an element of "humanity"
   to the whole process. SOME cashiers are smarter and
   more interesting than you'd think too.

   Now, how can Linux improve this entire equation ? :-)

And they won't be buying lottery tickets.

If I ran a grocery store and wanted to hurt my competitors,
I'd pay people like that to shop at those other establishments.
It would be a kind of denial-of-service attack.

   Hmmm ... had to switch to 5G internet for several
   annoying reasons. The old Gen2 DSL was actually
   better. RARELY get 10mbps - I'm too far from the
   towers, metal roof, reinforced concrete. Tried
   every place in the house.

   HAVE seen 'bursts' to 30mbps ... but those only last
   a few minutes. 5 to 8 mbps is more 'typical'. Less
   is often seen too alas.

   NOT sure how Spain is gonna guarentee this fast net
   to all. LOTS more (subsidized) towers operating at
   a de-facto loss ??? Typical 'socialist' thinking.

   I've looked into StarLink. Price isn't TOO bad, but
   the allowed daily/monthly data consumption is too
   low for my needs. I often download Linux/etc distros
   for eval or use - typically 1-4 gigs these days.
   Many distros can 'update' with a gig more more.
   Did that several times the last month.

   The only good bit is that if there's a hurricane with
   tornadoes and tidal surge and Satanic coup those WON'T
   get at the satellites. MAY buy basic pkg as a 'safety'
   so I could do simple mail/banking/ordering.

   Well Vlad/Xi *can* get to the satellites  :-)

   A super-massive solar flare can too.

   One strength of StarLink though is that it
   is very DISPERSED .... thousands of sats.
   I think they can kinda do "zig-bee".

   So still, imho, we need SOME at least domestic
   layer that's DIFFICULT for Vlad to get at.

   Not much to do about the solar flare alas ...

   As mentioned somewhere, you can still do
   basic TELEGRAPHY over copper pairs. That's
   very robust 1860 tech. Hey, worst case ...
   we'd still have SOMETHING.

I fully expect that with the total devolution of telephony going on, 
some people might resort back to doing telephony over barbed wire fences 
again... and not by choice! It's incredible the kind of double speak 
that exists today... "progress" and "21st century" really means going 
back 100+ years in a lot ways, before common battery, and back to when a 
lot of rural areas lacked phone service because phone companies didn't 
want to run lines to them, so they ran their own party lines over barbed 
wire networks... here we go again...

   Do NOT entirely disagree with that !

   ENDLESS bullshit from the corps about the Great Virtues
   of nuking the Old Stuff. Sounds SO sane.

   It's not.

   Has become VERY clear the past few years how EASILY
   all the 'modern' stuff can be TRASHED. Vlad/Xi are
   part of the problem, but Nature is a significant other.

   "Telegraph" stations DID/CAN work. They'd have to be
   kind of a per-neighborhood/block thing. The tech, as
   said, is robust 1860 - relay-based amplifiers.

   But you have to HAVE some copper Still There.

   Otherwise, well, 1919 radio tech. Also works even
   after a huge disaster, but more complicated and
   less-directed.

   Find an older AARL Radio manual, even "spark gap"
   radio is discussed - the how, the equations. LOVE
   to see that stuff ! It's how to basically hold up
   comm tech even AFTER a Worst Case situation.

   Some HAMs also still work TUBE/VALVE radios for fun.
   Those are mostly immune to EMP or solar flares and
   you're not gonna HACK them - almost NON-tech.

   Something BAD is gonna happen - by human or other
   means. Happens in localities even now, but could
   become worldwide. Even crappy comm tech can make
   all the diff between now and the Dark Ages.

   Early 1800s USA ... you sent mail by crude early
   trains or horse-mounted delivery guys. Took like
   two or three WEEKS to get even a short message
   from NYC to California. Telegraph finally did
   come along, but 'finally' - and they charged by
   the word/letter.

   The Old Shitty World is NOT that far behind us.
   Current High-Tech is oft TOO sensitive, TOO
   vulnerable. It's not good policy. "Commercial"
   may not agree - but govt/mil really OUGHT to know.

I wonder if they run OSPF internally?

Yes, but first you need a "copper pair" connecting the two points 
between which you wish to communicate.  And today, those bespoke copper 
pairs no longer exist (most have been replaced with thin glass strands 
over which laser light is transmitted, which won't allow for "basic 
telegraphy").

So you'd have to start by stringing miles upon miles of copper pairs 
between each location that you wanted to communicate.  That's a massive 
undertaking, which has to happen *before* you can communicate via basic 
telegraphy.
