<p>New display, new panels. I'm driving these ones using DPI on a Raspberry Pi, which is a handy way of wiggling 24 GPIO lines with precise timing and no CPU involvement.</p>

I'd split it in at least two lines: 1) getting temperature values in a list comprehension, 2) float(temps[0])</p>
<p>"Going anywhere for the holidays?"<br />"Yes, upstate."<br />"Plane or car?"<br />"Oh Jesus no! Train."<br />"How long will that take?"<br />"9 hours. But my vacation starts when I get on the train, not when I get off the plane. It's much less stressful."<br />"You know... I can see that..."</p><p>Folks, I may have a made a convert today. Let's be real. Driving is work, and flying is torture. A train ride, might seem "long" but did you count all the time you spend getting to the airport, the security checks? The silly rules?</p>

I had some weirdo tooting RFKJr nonsense at me the other day. But on the whole there's a lot less malice here than at the birdsite, and Mastodon doesn't have that weird culture of discouraging blocking. Just shut the door on them.<br />I just think that after everything we've seen at FB and "X," it's better to avoid a putative "public square" that's subject to the whims of a crazy billionaire. I don't see how we can expect any better of Dorsey this time around. Fool me once, shame on you...<br />Better to start all over with a new paradigm that's maybe more like email (anyone can set up an email server, anyone can set up a Mastodon instance). IMO every major company and every serious news organization should have its own instance, giving them complete control of how their info is disseminated.</p>

I also seldom post, though, so I don't read comments.</p><p>At any level of non-trivial level of popularity, however, Mastodon (or, more accurately, a small but very vocal subset of its users) seems to do a great job of convincing popular people that they should be popular literally anywhere else with anyone else. It's as if the intentionally "anti-viral" nature of the platform causes some people to lose their senses when they're exposed to something that isn't directly created from their carefully curated follows list.</p>
