hello i am putting beeping.town in suspended animation for the time being

if you are the operator of a bot on beeping.town and want an account export, DM me at @ili and i'll see what i can figure out
apologies for the inconvenience
emojos.in will be unavailable for several minutes while i move it onto a new backend

I met a traveller from an antique land,
Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal, these words appear:
This is an example of Speex;
An Audio compression Algorithm specifically tuned
for the Reproduction of Human speech!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.”

vaccines logistics reminder
Many pharmacy clinics are requiring scheduled appointments for flu shots this year, and you may not be able to get in for a few days
Flu season hits quick, so you are best to schedule early

flu vaccine reminder
reminder to get your flu vaccine. now is the ideal time to do it in terms of timing, it will last thru flu season.
you really really do not want to have more opportunities to develop flu-like symptoms and be questioning whether its a cold, or influenza, or if its actually covid.
getting a flu vaccine is a vital part of helping stop covid-19.

recording of the show I went on last night to talk blaseball with cal of blaseball news and the geek beat radio hosts: https://geekbeatradiopodcasts.objects-us-east-1.dream.io/GBR-20200928.mp3
here's another link someone randomly dropped in our discord just in case the first doesn't work https://radio.garden/listen/geekbeatradio/eim0b9X7
tonight I'll be talking blaseball on https://geekbeatradio.com at 7pm US/Pacific for a couple of hours
I'll be joined by cal of https://blaseball.news, and we'll be talking about building tools and collecting stats about a simulated sport, as well as the strange niche of reporting on an ever-changing alternate reality
updated my bio to make it clear that I'll still post from this account periodically
please don't be upset if I decline your follow request on my smol account. I don't really have a clear way of explaining the set of people I'll let follow me so if you want to follow there, well, fuck around and find out
I really hate that you have to disable your own account in order to set up a redirect so that people don't @ it accidentally.

the only way I stay sane at work is knowing exactly which people to forward obnoxious shit to, so I can perform targeted escalations to other people who accept zero bullshit
