@cpultz I like the cash option, too, although I think it's not enough. I think $5 is like 1000 points, while you can get a Runza for free for 800 points, and it costs more than $5.
Some friends and I had a fantastic #winterfieldday weekend at a state park cabin. How many radios do 3 people need? 30ish? š We hunted satellites, used meshtastic, erected a variety of wire, horizontal and loop antennas, used phone modes, data modes and cw/morse code. Canāt wait for next year! #hamradio
@cpultz use those points, man!
#huskers going to a bowl! Our son is in the drumline and weāve heard tales from so many parents whose kids went all through school with seasons that always ended in Novemberā¦ Iām so happy for him and the band that they get to travel this yearā¦ ā As one that was college-aged during the National Championship years in the 90ās, I canāt believe that not going to a bowl is even a thing.
James Hoffmann has been talking about doing this for a lonnnnng time and Iām so glad itās here. Iām excited to pick up a kit or two and learn about these processes. #coffee https://youtu.be/2t7Ba8Vr9HY
#hamradio fun tonightā¦ aimed the yagi antenna at the ISS and pulled a SSTV image off of it. Hoping to get some better ones with higher passes over the weekend. https://www.ariss.org/
My daughter had fall break today so we took the opportunity to go on a photo hike at a nearby camp. It seems like fall has taken forever to arrive.
Been doing the Sunday night ARES net for over a year nowā¦ here we go againā¦
@cpultz me too!!
Drove out of town to catch the #aurora last night and got there just in time. It faded pretty quickly after this.
@nirak iād have to take peanut butter for sure! Some love chocolate ā Iām in for PB š
@cpultz I was trying to remember last night. Was there a time, during the couple postseason runs the Royals had a few years ago (probably longer ago than I realize) that there were concurrent home royals and chiefs games? I seem to remember a helicopter shot showing that āĀ but perhaps arrowhead's lights were just on.
@Strandjunker Neither side wants geography to decide. Show me someone who wants local control and I'll show you someone who doesn't have total control. Next it will be the left fighting to retain local control while the right works to prevent women and doctors from making their own decisions nationwide ā and if that happens, geography, once again, will not be an issue. ā¹ļø
I don't know what the point of Google Maps' automated moderation is. We have people updating properties with information that doesn't require Gemini-level intelligence to say, "That seems bogus.ā
Seems like Big Ten could at least update their logo to reflect reality
My daughter is a living-breathing denial-of-service attack. She talks so much I canāt even have thoughts of my own. My brain just shuts down under the onslaught of words. š
@alper Cool. Just curious about general impressions āĀ things that specs don't tell youā¦ build quality, how does it feel, how does it soundā¦
@rustywx Thanks. I hope that will hold. It will give everyone a reason to go home š
@rustywx East graduation on Saturday and hoping/planning for an outdoor party... how's that looking to you right now? Forecasts that I've seen seem to indicate overcast and a little chilly, but mostly dry. Thanks!
@cpultz Funny to read people here on-upping each other on how bad road construction is in their own country: https://www.reddit.com/r/interestingasfuck/comments/1cq4mrk/in_switzerland_a_mobile_overpass_bridgeastra/
Risking a muscle strain from rolling my eyes every time someone mentions that they "researched" something. It's clear from what they have recently discovered that they didn't even get past the result screen of their Bing search āĀ there's no way this person went with anything but the default browser on their Walmart $349 17" laptop.
Glad that a game vs Messiās Miami team brought such a large crowd last night ā likely with a whole lot who have never been to a KC game before, but sure wish we could have gotten the win. The boys played well but had multiple opportunities that they didnt take advantage of and made defensive mistakes that players like Messi and Luis Suarez are going to eat up (and did). No matter the result, having 5 goals and a winner (SKC 2 - 3 MIA), was better for a crowd like this than a low scoring draw.
@Kb9vbr Maybe for Q&A? Any fun ideas/projects for one who has collected a few 17' whips? Some sort of multi-band setup? K4OGO did an interesting video this week on co-phasing. Anything else? Thanks!
Last nightās result was spoiled by a bad call in the 90ā+4ā but I still keep thinking āthose new lights are pretty neatā #SportingKC
Sad way to start morning when your #coffee grinder is broke, so you put some pre-ground coffee in the V60 and pour a little water on it to bloom ā which of course it does not. The lifeless coffee which outgassed lonnnnng ago just sat there like a cup of mud. Time to find a new grinder.
