If that’s not a sign the bubble is about to pop, I dont know what is…

Why not both? 😉

Great typo, I’m leaving it.

If they can’t charge an admittance fee or a per message fee, they won’t implement it. It goes against their business model.

But we can dream.

If I recall correctly, you can, but it removes your node from the public networks everyone else is using because hams cannot use encryption for coms as part of the rules for ham operation, as the non ham network is encrypted by default. You would have to build a secondary network independent of the public node list.

Correct me if I’m wrong. But that was my understanding of the difference.

Oh it’s a hundred percent just the novelty communication technology that is in vogue right now. I don’t really know if it’s a true zeitgeist technology or if someone with a lot of product to sell who is playing with the social media algorithm. But I guess I don’t really care much.

The trick is to find a way to seize on that opportunity. Now that our mesh network is structurally sound and sufficient, I’m working on using a raspberry pi to automate our ham club meeting dates, testing dates, and field days, and then blast those messages once a week or so over the mesh network. That way, an impulse buy turns into the discovery of a fuctional network and afterwards, a random person can discover a whole local community of people with all sorts of new things to learn.

You can lead a horse to water. But you can’t make him drink.

first you need a trough. That’s the mesh network. After, the horse needs to be thirsty. That’s the curiosity people have. information, the when and how and where, you can automate and passively tell them about. that’s the water.

I’ve come to the realization that mesh nodes are little more than a gateway drug into the world of ham radio. And for that I’m grateful.

It’s not as good, and does everything worse than radio. The only real world use I have found is for when cellphone networks get overwhelmed at things like music festivals and large sports games. No one else’s texts go through, but I can toss by buds a node to put in their back pocket and we can stay in touch.

our local mature club is building our local mesh network out now as an introduction to the ham world. And it’s working. It’s getting the younger kids and adults through the door. And from there, it’s an easy thing to get them interested in more useful and fun forms of communication.

RGB cold in her grave is to blame for our troubles now? Fucks sake if it weren’t for her we would be miles worse. Stop taking one persons missteps and snowballing it into apocalypse. There are so many active agents of chaos already alive and well.

Seriously, a random time traveler stepping on a butterfly and consiquently the dinosaurs still existing make more sense that that garbage. You have the benefit of hindsight. Just like alcohol and weed, please use it responsibly.

My room temperature has central air conditioning and I like it cooold.

No one was wondering. In the USA we have intelligence quotients that are high enough to convert, even at room temp. Its surprising I know, but room temperature I.Q.'s don’t operate on metric here. It takes a little more effort you see… Very smart.

Little more concerned about the damage he can cause in the next three years. Yeah. It’s his last term. But if the last year is any indication, we’ve got a loooong way to go.

Little more to the south. But you’re spot on

Meesa no starta da fire

Had no idea Sabrina Carpenter publishes Franklin the Turtle books.

If that was the case, wouldn’t his lawyers have a better argument than “the cops gathered evidence wrong”?

There is wishful thinking, and our own biases about this case, but I feel like if the current story were true, we wouldn’t be splitting hairs about Miranda rights. And to be very clear, from what I understand,supreme court precedent, specifically New York v. Quarles, it has been already established that you don’t actually have to be read your Miranda rights if there is a public safety exception. I imagine that will be main counter argument.

Please correct me if I’m wrong, but this sounds like a weak argument from the people who have all the official details of the interaction and narrative they are pushing.

That’s exactly what it is. He doesn’t realize that he’s just a tool, not the mastermind. But his ego and complete lack of self awareness won’t let him see it. Same with trump. They have spent their whole lives thinking they are masters of the universe, and now that they have that control, all they do is fuck up their goals, because they aren’t actually the ones calling the shots, and their goals are not why they were elevated to these positions. To steal from blazing saddles.

“What did you expect? ‘Welcome, Sonny?’ ‘Make yourself at home?’ ‘Marry my daughter?’ You’ve got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know—morons”

I had jokes. I still had jokes when I finally figured it out thanks to the comments. I don’t need another burner account. If I made my jokes, I would absolutely have another burner account.

I’m not a bad person, I say bad things sometimes. I’m trying to be better.

I find that aluminum is the best medium for trial and error because even though it is somewhat expensive, it’s easy on the bits. And that is important regardless of the bulk material costs.

There may be a little bit of a scale difference between the two, as abhorable as both situations are.

Bugs bunny is so fuckin screwed
