While not factually true, absolutely the hope of every fucking Chihuahua if you look at their person wrong.

One of the most heartwarming things I’ve ever heard a dog trainer say “A pushy pet who makes small demands and communicates their needs to you is a safe pet. It means they trust you and aren’t afraid of your reaction if they misbehave and push your buttons a little”

That’s incredibly futuristic

Pi Zero W is $10 and has built in Bluetooth connectivity. You can find Solar USB Power Packs for ~$25. So for less than $50 and a little time investment to load some programs you can have an autonomous bluetooth repeater. I think they only run at Class 2 or 2.5mw so 10 meter range… but there are DIY solutions to amplify it to Class 1 for 100 meter range. But even at 10 meters, given this sort of program uses a packet delivery system, if you are constantly on the move you’re effectively a postman for the system as it will transmit every time it comes in range of another compatible program.

(original post is from 2019) mesh radios also, more recently, helped keep communities in the american south informed when hurricanes knocked out most communication and power infrastructure. you can build one of these mesh machines for real cheap, but it’s still pretty inexpensive to get one that’s already put together!

For the sake of your mental health, choose people who communicate, take accountability, and treat your heart with care.
