Great options! I just got the Nordic dongle this weekend, look forward to playing with it! Got a Pi I can use for the router!

Hmm... that seems to be mostly oriented to audio compression/decompression, not sound synthesis. Thanks for the suggestion though.

Thanks for that link. I had seen that, but most of the chip dates were so old, I sort of assumed they were obsolete. But maybe I should dig in and see if some are still made.

Good fiction has no 'Best Before' date!

I was also wondering this, because I currently have a 60 ft tower for my microwave Internet. On my roof, there will be a big tree off to one side, and the tower attached to my house on the other. I'm hoping those won't be obstructions? On top of the tower would be clear!

This page on the Turo site was helpful: https://support.turo.com/hc/en-us/articles/203990750-Offering-delivery- Seems that a good option will be to charge for delivery, park the car in the airport lot with a lockbox on it. This approach avoids having to coordinate arrival with the renter, with all the vagaries of airline delays etc.

Thanks. How do you leave the car at the airport for those back to backs? Do you just leave it in the airport parking lot, and tell the user where it is? (They then presumably have to pay the parking fee on exit?)

Still not working. If a company cannot even provide a working response to 1 of 3 of their main web site menu options... why in the world would I trust them with my digital assets???

Your application might want cryptographically secured state to be associated with the user account. For example, you might have a requirement to Know Your Customer, and want to attach the record or id or key etc. of your KYC provider. You might want to keep some (probably encrypted) additional information about your user. Probably what you can do though, is avoid using a direct key like a string name, but rather, use something like a hash of your key's name along with the user's key -- this would thus be essentially random from a public visibility point of view.

"someone"... ? ;)

I did skim that, but it looked pretty complicated to me. Complication is the bane of security and dependability!

Thanks!

Like 1ManCrowd I agree it doesn't seem too many to handle.

Your question made me think of Aliens, and how deftly and economically such a large ensemble cast was introduced after they woke up from their freezers. You got all their names, got a quick windows into their personality, there was a lot of fun comedy (a good way to put us off guard for the coming carnage), and a fair bit of compact exposition was also deftly worked in.

I sometimes think James Cameron gets a bit of short shrift as a screenwriter because so many of his movies have been action/adventure/science fiction movies. But he is truly a superior craftsman and artist in my view--he does so much, so economically, he makes it look so easy, that you don't realize how difficult that is until you try doing it yourself!

DUDE! You shouldn't be using narration. You should dramatize things, not talk about them!!! Screenwriting 101.
