<NO CARRIER>

This is a great policy for amateur (ham) radio. Start with the $25 Baofeng that barely receives and transmits all over the spectrum*, then grab the Alinco or TYT, eventually working one’s way up to Kenwood, Icom, Yaesu, etc.

A good transceiver is expensive so working up to the big boys is definitely worth the investment if the hobby takes hold.

*Baofengs are probably the worst first handheld transceiver (HT) because they are so poorly designed and quality control is non-existent. A new ham with a Baofeng is likely to become frustrated and give up. Check out the various ham radio/amateur radio communities for better suggestions for starter HTs if ham radio is of interest to you.

The tankless water heater located in the shower is the best.

What’s your uncle like? Is he a pushover or is he conniving?

I find people often seek themselves out in a relationship. That may shed some insight on your aunt’s behavior.

Grief reactions vary, obviously, but prior acts seem to reflect poorly on her character.

Thanks for the fix

Fark might be a very close second.

Absolutely would have modded these the same way mate.

What are some of your favorites? I too enjoy a good casino flick.

• “Oceans 13” was really good (and features the beating scene you speak of)
• “Casino” is the Gold Standard
• “21” wasn’t great-great but surely has good blackjack action and Spacey before his creepiness was known
• “Casino Royale” was OK. Needed more casino.

In the time it took to write this you could have made a throwaway. It’s ten seconds.

Burners for all the things, my bad.

Insta. Meta. reddit. Tik-Tok. Craigslist. Nextdoor (create a burner). I mean there’s literally tens of ways.

Broadcast ICE’s location to others. While it may be too late, it’ll sound the alarm and others will have time to prepare. Be specific: Identify cars, people, plates. The more aware people are of ICE’s activities the better they can prepare.

I’d just like one standard for all config files. Yaml, json, whatever…let’s just choose something and standardize.

I used to dislike editing text config files but once you have one written you’ve got a template for the future. So long as the documentation is throughly written it’s not too bad to follow.

I use https://phiresky.github.io/lemmy-federation-state as a good approximation of who is alive, who is dead, and who is just lagging behind.

Spaceballs! When I was maybe 8 or 9.

I asked my mom “What’s a ‘virgin alarm’ and what does it mean that it is programmed to go off before you do?” and she said ask me again in thirty years.

Reminds me, I forgot to ask her.

OMG really? How COULD you…

Neglect to offer your valuable opinion. Hey, you’re a human and have valuable things to say. Haters gon hate. Fuck 'em.
