@matigo will ya?
@sumudu this is for those cases when you write a lengthy response and it's too cynical/abrasive/obtuse/angry… :D
People have been talking about Amazon's flying drone camera a lot, but… isn't it supposed to get activated only if you're not at home?
Still on the fence about IFTTT Pro. I do use 5-6 recipes right now, out of which I could live without a few, though that would mean allowing other apps to send me notifications, which I'm not interested in.
@joeo10 thanks! Yeah, I think they're doing better now. Seems they've been released from the hospital to convalesce at home.

@sumudu same for Dubai apparently. WhatsApp text is fine, calls are off limits. Weirdos!
@matigo heard from a friend whose parents are in Qatar and have contracted COVID-19. It's a pain for her to get in touch with them…
@matigo well yeah, for humans it's more about consciousness and personality that defines who we are. But for objects, it's what we assign to them. If you say the reconstructed-from-scraps ship "is the one that went on the adventure" then that's correct… But if even one piece is in the "new" ship, then that ship too is the one that went.
Besides, it doesn't matter which one went on the adventure, because "a ship went on the journey" and whichever is presented is the one.
Museums often keep expertly made replicas of paintings on display to prevent damage and to maintain continuity for when paintings are undergoing repairs. A passing visitor who doesn't know this will believe that the painting she's looking at is the original, and that's fine.
