One thing I forget to appreciate enough is how freaking COOL it is to have real-time data at my fingertips. We live in an era of both mediocrity and plenty!
At 10:55 I felt an earthquake. At 10:55 I looked up seismic activity in the region.
At 10:55 I received affirmation that I wasn't just imagining things.
I'm sure we did just fine in the BeforeTimes, but sometimes one just has to stop and remind oneself:
We live in an era of wizardry!
And it's still never quite enough. 🙃
@MLClark Hey, at 5.0 is pretty fair little shake, is that as big as they get there? That's about as large as we get in Puerto Rico.
Yeah, that's on the bigger end, but fairly normal. Quakes are normal for our mountain range. We have to worry about secondary impacts like landslides and sinkholes, and the occasional earthquake can devastate a whole pueblo, but we're generally resilient.
Puerto Rico probably has a lot more secondary impacts due to its oceanic residence, though. Have you experienced any really rough ones?
@th3j35t3r #CoSoHelp is there a way to keep our draft messages from disappearing without compromising security? Specifically I'm on mobile and left to go get a link. When I returned, no message no more.
@kel @th3j35t3r Yes, it's just an issue on mobile.
@FireMonkey If you're using the mobile app, then using a browser to grab a link shouldn't affect your draft.
If you're using a mobile browser to access CoSo, then you can still open a new tab to preserve your draft.
Unless I'm missing something? 🤔@th3j35t3r
@kel @th3j35t3r
Yeah I use the mobile droid app and just went over to the duck duck browser. Grabbed the link and came back and it had refreshed. There is no "draft folder" like my mail has. Not really a critical issue. I can work around it. 😉
@FireMonkey a lot of the time, especially for larger posts, I'll draft them in notes and then copy them over to make things easier & for spellchecking purposes. Only had to lose a few posts to browsers refreshing for that habit to form.
Some folks do similar but take it a step further and off-site archive their posts as well with this method.
@FireMonkey Probably not. Besides, this problem is mitigated with tab management.
Need to grab a link? Just open a new tab, and your draft will be preserved in the original one—for a time. @th3j35t3r
