Fourthing Actual. I download OFX files from my credit card and bank and import them and it's all pretty easy. Never tried paying for the banksync option.

Wow, thanks for the incredibly detailed response! Twas more than I was expecting, but super helpful nonetheless. Related tangent, I wrote a few micro-stories called the Goblin's Tale about mine. More like the text to a comic than a story, I guess. Her name is Lizzy: one part Lizzy Bennett from Pride and Prejudice, one part Lizzy Borden, the axe murderer. You probably understand. But it did make it rather easy to adapt your scripts from Lily's name.

But at any rate, I got it all working without too much trouble. If you're not a developer, how did you write all that? I only just started learning python (my first language) so I understood a fair bit of what was going on, but that definitely takes some knowledge to come by.

I'm not tracking vaccines yet, but now that I have these, I'm going to. As well as figure out combining your alert mechanism with notifications. I can do a triggered notification, but I don't have anything currently set up to check on a daily basis.

Others have already said it, funerals are for the living. As long as you're honest with yourself (this doesn't seem to be about religion, rather shitty family) and you understand the consequences of your actions, you're an adult, do what you want.

Will it cause a scandal if you don't go? Probably. Is that something you're prepared for? Can you deal with that fallout?

The people in this thread exclaiming you must go, it's family! likely don't come from families with shitty relations and themselves feel some societal obligation to go to a funeral no matter what. Geography doesn't matter for honouring the dead. You go to comfort and commiserate with the survivors. If that's not important to you, do it in your own way. There is no wrong way to grieve or mourn someone's passing (obviously within reason).

I only just started dabbling in Bluesky. I like that your username is federated, which meant I'm using Bluesky without a Bluesky account, since I signed up elsewhere first.

It's definitely a lot more popular than Masto, et al, which isn't always a good thing. Sure there's all the famous people, but it makes it harder to find real people to follow. Or at least for me.

I have enjoyed the For You tab though.

"I am not discussing what I have or haven't been eating or drinking. Am I being detained or am I free to go?" Field sobriety tests are always voluntary, but you might have to go to the station for a blood test.

If they continue to ask questions, "I am invoking my constitutional right to not answer questions. I won't be making any other statements without a lawyer present."

If they ask you to step out of your vehicle, you do have to comply. "I am complying and stepping out of my vehicle. I do not consent to a search of my person or property. Am I free to go or am I being detained?"

Never talk to the cops brought to you by Shut the Fuck Up Friday.
