One of my kids wants me to make a poster for her husband... They're both nearing 40 and about to buy their first house (they hope!). He's status, so she wants to include that particular area.

She wants a "parchment looking" map of the area around Kitsumkalum Lake, BC. I can't find an svg or any other vector map I can plonk into gimp to produce the result.
She said like this mapbox thing (ish!). I'd just 'multiply' a layer of old paper behind it I think. I'd have to play - but I don't have a source of vector data for here.

@PhoenixSerenity So, you didn't mean to reference feditips?

@trebach
Thanks! I have an svg of the area being prepared.
Now I'll try your other link too.

I can't un-offend someone.
I can't un-bother someone or make them feel un-uncomfortable.
Other than saying sorry, about the only other thing I can do is to entirely disassociate from them, so they aren't bothered by me?
Or just leave fedi.
I was alive before fedi, and, I suppose, my body would keep living for a time after fedi.
And, maybe I'm getting less out of it than I'm putting into it these days.
IDK.

I'm thinking of leaving fedi after ten years and just going back to email and irc. Forums. Like BBS - I"m old.
I never did facebook or twitter.
Less personal.
I just learned I was bothering someone. I didn't mean to be a bother, but I clearly was.

I'm so tired of being tired.
I know that sounds stupid.
I need to invigorate myself.
Ironically, I know the way to stop feeling tired is to get out and do more stuff.
Since Annie died, I have joined 4 more local things on top of the two I had.
And, I just post here randomly.
Too much for some folk, I know.
So I'll try to taper off of fedi.

nos da
Nite nite :-)

Apparently, my brain is still grave-struck and I have bother a woman. Maybe more. I don't know. Things that I've said in public.
So I'm going to unfollow all the women I know, just to be safe.

@SnowyCA AFAIK, I have unlocked everything to one timeline.
If I've missed something that you particularly wish to discuss, you need to name it again, b/c I thought we past it.

@SnowyCA Of course. I didn't claim otherwise.

After a certain age, I don't think that simply being older than someone is a good argument for an appeal to authority, which is not a good argument in the first place.
But no one reads what I post anyhow.

Not to say that we can't learn from the elders! Of course we can. And we can learn from our traditions.
But traditions can also be mere peer pressure from dead people too.
We need to weigh things in our minds with our values.

@SnowyCA well, so you claim :-)

@SnowyCA
Glad you are still up. Just another half hour or so maybe.
That'll be enough.

@Pomegranatepirate Thank you! :-)
We were both so very alone all our lives. Both came out of deep poverty and no education.
It would have been a marriage made in heaven, if we'd have gotten that far.
Thanks for the mug-up! :-)

@annaghughes
That's weird!
Is it happening up the coast too? Like Kitimat and Prince Rupert?

@SnowyCA Weirdly, my only call today was at a house with 93 yo who'd forgotten most english. My feeble spanish actually came in handy!
You do please sleep. Try for more than 8hrs. It helps the bones to knit.
And then a good breaker!! 🙂

@crispius
desalination plants are the next escalation I think.

@SnowyCA
Hey look, I may not be as old as you, but not that far behind.
I remember when i first read a line like that.
My 'emotional' response did not match my logical response and I recoiled in the exact same way that you did.
They still don't really align, frankly.

Seems a bit early. You'll just be up in the dark I guess.

@SnowyCA
recall the very definition of average please...?
Everyone, divided by two.
