The one downside is that a lot of people I know have had some nasty accidents and broke a bone or something. Sure, in cars you are also at the risk of kissing a tree at highway speed, but bike accidents feel a lot more common and have a lot less protective metal involved

Gift a man a bike, and he will ride for a year. Gift him bolt cutters, and he will ride forever.

Jokes aside, where are you? Here, good new bikes are ridiculously expensive, but if you know where to look and what to look for, used ones are cheap. You don't even have to deal with a shady dude in a back alley, a lot of municipalities etc. auction off bikes they confiscate, which are often a few hours of work away from being pretty okay

Honestly, if you look at the world and go "ah yes, majority wiccan", idk how to help you. Probably by telling you to stop trolling.

That actually sounds quite sane, except the not willing to use weapons part. I would have assumed that would get one straight to alternative service

So, if you are the hyper-manly chest hair and leather jackets gay, you get drafted?

Signal runs just fine without play services for me. It does drain quite a bit of battery without cloud messaging, but that is to be excepted since it needs to keep its own connection up in that case

Still, the whole thing with "list of forbidden guns" sounds, if nothing else, tedious. Do they enact a new law every time a new gun model comes out?

Sometimes. Maybe. If noone looks.

Our air force has working planes?? I call fake news

What is the ping supposed to be like in mycelial networks? I seem to have congestion issues in mine

I am outside of the US, and I do care. Biggest army and economy and so on. Even if not, I would not want to be associated with, idk, Australian wannabe tyrants either.

Somewhere I heard someone say something like we don't vote for Biden or Trump, we vote for coal. It's hard to convince single-issue voters when that single issue is the only thing they see every day.

My first magnetic loop for 2m :)

Really simple construction: bent ca. 2mm brass pipe soldered directly to the outside of an SMA plug, inside of the plug soldered to the red wire as "input coil". Tunable by squeezing the ends more or less close together.

SWR of <1.2 at resonance, not bad. Impedance is at roughly 44+j2 Ohm, also not bad for totally eyeballing it without any prior calculations.

I can reach the nearest 2m relais just fine at 2W, although to be fair I can do the same with a short whip antenna. More testing to follow. Holy shit, this actually works!

It will widen your horizon, they said. And here I was, foolishly thinking I could get away with half-assing statistics during my degree.

 

Turns out the status quo of Linux memory management somehow works pretty damn okay, nobody seems to really know why, and nobody cares.
