Well, not gonna beat around the bush, was having a shitty day that day for one thing and I did find the report for someone saying “do elon next!” annoying, and then found out the reporter is a known mass reporter for shit like that, so I at the time decided to just “nip it in the bud” if you will. I didn’t think at the time it was a big deal but I guess it was. After a bit of time passed I decided to reverse the ban. I keep forgetting reports go to both instances’ admins, not just me, so reporting something that is against other instances’ rules is fair.

This probably won’t change anyone’s mind but that is my side of the story.

Thanks! Just my work laptop lol. I have a System76 pangolin for personal use though.

I asked my friend and he said “You’re not really going to save much money going milsurplus route on a carrier. You can get an AR500 Testudo Gen-2 for like $200 and they are super comfortable”. That being said, Crye makes really nice shit for like $280. https://www.cryeprecision.com/JPC-2-0 . Just don’t get multicam black (it’s a cop color)

I run a crye precision JPC 2.0 but I have comrades who run some good milsurp stuff. I’ll ask them what to look into. You’ll want something that fits SAPI plates which I’m guessing is the standard your plates are. Also, they should NOT be steel plates just FYI. Spend the money and get ceramic if you haven’t already.

Alright, good to know. Do you have any recommendations for which choke to buy? Or maybe I should make one? I know other people have snapped the small chokes on other problematic devices’ wires that were causing issues. Was thinking of looking at those as they’re cheapest.

This is a different coil than the UnUn on the antenna?

From what I gather just gab on the air about whatever and then there’s like a bazillion challenges for people to try and do. For example, making contact with someone from really far away using the least amount of power as possible.

Yeah, I’m taking a class and then the general test this coming February. So far it seems to do almost everything that I’d want except it doesn’t have a scanning feature, but maybe that’s what the waterfall is for?

It can do CW, AM, FM, SSB and some digital stuff I don’t understand yet.

I think that only works on Twitch

Humped it to smithereens

Not how my last experience in NYC was

Sometimes but most of the times no.

He was originally my grandpa’s cat. He named him after the statue.

A cruel jape!

Tech bros are usually just finance bros who like tech.

The vet was absolutely smitten by him. He’s incredibly docile and well-behaved. She said she wishes all cats were like him.
