Many, many (most?) commercial ham radios are powered by ~12VDC, and can be run directly off of a car battery in many cases (always use a fuse, kids!).

Olive oil is delicious, and I've always loved acidic foods

so long as there's yummy dressing on the salad, sign me up.

Just get in the habit of making simple dressing, e.g., EVOO, red or balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt & pepper. (Mustard helps with emulsification.) Yes oil is caloric, but afaik this is much healthier than drowning your salad in ranch or Thousand Island or whatever.

Olive oil can make you feel full, too, so even though you're eating fat, it can be a net win.

A Mediterranean diet is delicious, vegetarian/vegan compatible and, I think, fairly healthy. But mostly it's the delicious that counts.

I think there are examples of projects getting criticized for not recreating the corposhit. Take GIMP

sure some folks really like it, but there are huge swaths of people who basically just say, "why doesn't it work like Photoshop?!" and get very frustrated with its different approach.

Personally, I like Google Photos

the interface, not the product

so when Immich came along and basically cloned it, I was really happy (I think Immich is fantastic, and at this point calling it a Photos clone is kinda offensive tbh

it's way cool).

Some corposhit just sucks, yeah, but some is actually well thought out

no shame in taking the concept and running with it, IMHO.

Who the fuck said we had to choose either?

They did, and pointing that out will (I'm guessing) be met with some form of covering their ears and saying "nah nah nah I can't hear you."

Ah, pretty sure that'd be the whole OnStar transceiver, too (which isn't a bad thing to disable...).

I thought the antenna itself was behind a fuse (as in, feedline has an inline fuse) which would be a peculiar design I think.

Are antennas usually behind a fuse?

Welcome, newcomers. The tradition of Festivus begins with the airing of grievances. I got a lot of problems with you people and now you're gonna hear about it.

Repulsa wants to blow up the sun, and only you two can stop her!

Just want you to know we're all rooting for you!

Someone described respectful ways of interacting with children similarly

you can bring yourself down to their level, or you can bring them up to yours. Both are respectful, and there's no "talking down" to anyone.

Not all honorable fighting is done with a bat'leth.

Pick your favorite tech company, pick a small team with a "nerdy" engineering mandate, and I'm confident you'll find the academic, geeky science and engineering types you're talking about.

They probably aren't very vocal though, because 1) there's a huge PR/marketing budget which is responsible for being the face of the company, and 2) well...these are nerdy STEM folks who probably like their job because they get very well compensated to be nerdy STEM types, and not because they're fanboys/girls.
