@quixoticgeek are you familiar with Stigler's Law of Eponymy, which was discovered by Robert K. Merton? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stigler%

@cypnk NYC Resistor is prepared in case of Fortunato, in case of an event, in case of a foggy laser, and in case of witnessing.

@vaurora as @quixoticgeek mentioned: be sure to plan some trips out of the city sometime! there's so much to do buiten de grens.

@FrankEndrullat our stairs are a tight spiral, so the sofa (and the rest of the furniture) came in through the windows. The movers used a lift truck rather than the hoist, since it is much more efficient if you're moving more than one item.

@praseodym that would be fine (although still absurd considering the effort HBO took to sign up European customers), except that the PS4 and LG HBO Max apps no longer function.

@loke do you mean you "turned it on" and that it has been powered off for the week, or that it has been running the whole time? mine used to be able to "stay on" for weeks, now it drains a few percent per hour.

This month HBO's new corporate parent rebranded it as MAX and locked-out non-US subscribers until "early 2024", right on the heels of a world-wide expansion of the former HBO Max streaming service. Since they've decided they don't want our money, we need to figure out how to cancel our subscription on a website that redirects immediately to "not available in your region". VPN back to the US is probably the easiest way...

I've tried several solutions from wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/SV
Mapertive "works", although it's Mono and really slow on this size data set. It took around ten minutes to produce this 16k x 12k image and I can't figure out how to control which POI are included.
