Get into ham radio if you like radios, that's pretty much the only topic you'll find on the air.

It's illegal to transmit music, it's illegal to transmit anything encrypted unless you're controlling a satellite, it's illegal to transmit anything for commercial purposes, and it's actually illegal to transmit anything on a regular basis that could reasonably be communicated some other way.

1. The English language is a living language. All you need to do for refenestration to be a word is to start using it.

I've been asking Google Gemini weird and stupid trivia questions just to burn the world down faster.

I mean, does anyone actually communicate on the ham bands? HF is for contesting and contesting only, 2 meters is for "checking in and out" on ragchew nets, 70cm is 2m again except half the range, 220 is hipster 2 meter, and I've never been given a reason to even think about 33cm and above. You're more likely to find discussion about Icom vs Yaesu's incompatible 2 meter digital things than high UHF.

Most actual communication is illegal on the ham bands one way or another so...I haven't renewed my license.

It's the mesh briefs they sew into swim trunks for some reason.

My next thought would be to find a use for the heat; colocate the data center with some other facility that needs massive quantities of heat. I remember something about a spa that heated its pools with computers (I think mining bitcoin, but still). I've also been curious if heat pumps could get hot enough to bake bread at industrial scales. Pump heat out of a data center and into a bigass bread oven?

The "scam" seemed to be "Look, a woman. Give us money." Like, it was so obviously a scam that I started wondering what was really going on.

I think "refenestration" which means to throw someone back into a building through the window is inherently funnier.

What do datacenters need large volumes of running water for? Can they not do a continuous loop? It's for cooling computers, right? That can't be done with a closed loop of water?

Trying to think of any tragic blimp accidents. Most of the "Well we're not doing THAT again as a species" accidents were rigid airships, like Hindenberg, R-101, USS Akron, etc. The most recent fatal blimp accident was in 2011, killing one.

I'm not sure I've detected an ideology on the right. They seem to be the most idealess people to have ever been pussyshat.

I never really thought about an owl-sized birdhouse but yeah I guess a lot of them nest in hollows in tree trunks so why not?

How are you installing it? Are you somehow using a Windows version or something?

Your dream job is to herd cats. Well, you do you. I tend to like one maybe two at a time.

First out of sixty-five.

Yeah, we're gonna blow the shit out of the sky.

In the words of Dr. Glaucomflecken, "Yeah, so Fourth of July weekend is when the general public decides to dabble in explosives."

We are united because no individual state in the union has the capacity to become the world's largest economy or sole superpower. Together we managed it.

I have a cherished memory from college of one of those things.

The last EA game I bought was a SNES game. I can't boycott them any harder.
