Accurate description of the state of my projects. It's still pretty easy to tell who is committed to understanding the code. I wonder if it will become harder over time.

In Europe I always found connections at art show afterparties. Go to an exhibition opening and talk to everyone. It's very likely you'll get more than a few invitations.

Obviously certain exhibitions are more likely to have connections to this crowd. Favor those shows.

My friend's "Christian" parents both eat Oxycontin like candy but think anything THC related is evil and kicked one of their sons out of the house at 15 years old because they found out he ate a THC gummy. When confronted they said their drug use is moral because they have prescriptions but weed is illegal and therefore satanic. I wish I was there to point out kicking their teenage son out on the streets was also illegal.

This mindset hard to even wrap my mind around. Total nonsense.

What is the most affordable way to get GSM service for the Pebble Core? It looks like it would cost $20 per month to add a "tablet line" to my current mobile plan which is way too much for me.
I'm pretty sure Wind River Linux is using kernel versions grsecurity would approve of. https://forums.grsecurity.net/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=3938&p=139... seems more likely to indicate the problem company.
