I started when it was still called TextSecure, I had precisely 1 contact (just my nerdy friend from uni) for the first 3 years. I then convinced my partner to install it, had 2 contacts for the next few years.

When it became Signal, a few more jumped on. Once I had kids; I bullied my family onto it, by refusing to send photos any other way.

I have 62 contacts now, the bulk of my digital communication is through either Signal, phone, email or Lemmy. There is a little SMS/RCS.

It has been a 15 year journey so far, for me. You will get there.

56% German, 31% Autistic.

As a Kiwi who has never been to Germany; seems interesting. I am an engineer though; so maybe that increases my German-ness somewhat.

Taught my boy to play connect 4. Had to start paying attention to by the time he was 7, by now (10) he is a challenge to beat, often just draw.

I have to try to win chess now also. It is great.

My 11yo nephew is a challenge to beat in chess, I think I'll probably not win next time we play.

My 7yo can read music, I can't.... It is the way of the world.

kg

1500lb would be ~680kg; that is serious race car territory. Not road legal these days; but a 1975 Fiat 500 weighed 500kg.

Many years ago, I had a 1992 Honda civic hatch; after looking it up; weighed 925kg.

Must be a bit after my kids TV years....

Cheers. I never saw it in NZ....maybe I'm too old.

Blackadder. 4 seasons of perfection.

What show is this?

Is it kid (7-12yo) friendly?

Rewatch every 8 years or so. Still good after the 3rd re-watch this year.

Someone needs to remove the reporter and add in Steven Joyce getting hit in the face by a dildo.

I'm not sure why you are getting down votes.

The reasons fur the demand sick, but you are correct, demand is fast outstripping supply..... Price rises are inevitable.
