"The GDO I just transmitted to the facility lists me, my men, Dr. Jackson here, but only one of you! First one to talk gets to rematerialize on earth"
When I watched those episodes for the first time, my reaction was: "So the Silicon Valley billionaire would just let the poor people use his network to get their messages out?"
The rich were portrayed as apathetic, instead of active participants.
I'm not sure if amateur radio is due for an external September. Most people don't see the point, since they have phones and Internet.
I guess we could see HF airwaves fill up with frivolities? But all the new operators would open up opportunities for cool new digital modes to make the most of shared resources. I'd love if there were enough people in my area to start a broadband Hamnet.
Not that I was ever interested in being military, but I was at a lunch with two older lifelong army retirees. They kept talking about how military service broke their bodies and politicians won't cover their medical costs. These injuries were independent of any combat: It's just expected that you sell every part of yourself when you sign up.
Who wants to be 45 years old with a limp, be unable to hear a quiet conversation, and have horrible back problems?
Yes, OP I highly recommend a GL.iNet device. It's pocket sized and always does the job.
It's also great for shitty wifi that tries to limit how many devices you can connect. The router will appear as one MAC and then all your other devices can route traffic through it.
A story I heard was that it was the poor indigenous farmers who were forced to cultivate coffee for the Dutch. They weren't allowed any of the beans they grew, but were able to collect it from the dung of civets that prowled around near the plantation. Of course, once the colonizers learned that it tasted "good", it was commoditized too.
Might be apocryphal.
Seriously, what a shit article.
Summarizing reviews with "some critics said..." "reviews mentioned ...", and explaining that fans of the game like gore.
I learned absolutely nothing that I didn't already know from cultural osmosis, and even though I didn't read through to the end I still feel like I wasted my time.
- Study free materials available online.
- Take free practice tests.
- Look for license exams in your area, or take an online one. Exam fees in my experience have been ~$25 and go towards whichever club is proctoring.
- Pay the $35 FCC licensing fee and get your callsign.
Theoretically, that's all you need. It's possible to use certain internet linked amateur transmitters for no cost as long as you have a valid callsign. However, I promise it's a lot more fun with a real transceiver. You can buy a bare minimum, highly hackable handheld VHF/UHF transceiver for as little as $20.
Or you can slowly give your soul to the moneypit of HF equipment...
If it's just for movies, consider an Intel ARC A380.
Small, cheap, great transcoding performance, and its drivers should be shipped by default with most distros. It really can't do games though.
Why'd ye spill yer memes, Winslow? Why'd ye spill yer memes?
What I find interesting is that the math nerd is already cowering as he states these factoids.
Therefore, we can assume that he has already done something to raise the ire of Mr True, and was hoping that quoting statistics might save him.

It looks like there's maybe another dimension to it, only barely visible by looking at the edge of the bottom-left apartments.
