How are you hanging your antenna? Dipoles for 20m and lower are typically set up in an Inverted V configuration, which should work fine with the 10m mast you already have.

As someone who used to troubleshoot an extremely complex system for my day job, I can say I've worked my way across the entire bell curve.

The things is, if you try to parse html with a regex, you will always be able to construct valid html that will break it, no matter how complex your regex becomes.

We met on OkCupid. We were on opposite sides of the Atlantic, but she had a friend on this side, and they were comparing the "weird" profiles they were each finding. OkCupid has a "if you liked this person, you might like these more" section, and I appeared in there. She wasn't really looking to date anyone, but she clicked, messaged me, and we clicked. I moved to the US to be with her after a two-year long distance relationship, and we'll be celebrating our ten year wedding anniversary next year.

United. Twice. They damaged my luggage both times.

I've only flown Delta and American since then.

That's not a hitch, it's a lashing, if I understand you correctly.

Python or Perl. IIRC, I've seen systems with a Perl install by default, but not Python.

On the internet, no one can tell you're a duck.

It's definitely great in theory until you inherit a codebase with no tests, poor documentation, and numerous reported bugs already live in production. Even better if it was written by people hired because they could do other things better than they could code - which looking at some of the unlabeled wiring messes we were left, isn't saying a lot.

I tried uploading a banner for a community I mod and was met by a JSON parser error message, so that's not happening there until there have been a few more updates.

You mean you groom the heck out of it, right? That sort of coat probably matts if you look at it too hard.

Field Day is, more or less, amateur radio's yearly open house. Clubs around the country will be setting up in parks to demonstrate their ability to make contacts in "less than ideal" conditions (which basically means "outside, without mains power").

If you're at all curious about radio communication, you should find your nearest site and drop in.
