My buddy has one of these just sitting unused, and I am super tempted to hook it up and watch the discs he has.

Been running AdGuard for years once mobile DNS profiles became available. Hardly see any ads, and (on the rare occasion) when I do, they’re jarring and out of place.

Not quite packet radio, but there’s a huge community for FT8 (very very limited communications bandwidth), there’s also JS8Call, but it’s sort of slow right now (on 20m at least). You might be interested in SSTV; there are various bands of activity, some on 20m (14.230Mhz and 14.233Mhz) and certainly other bands as well. The advantage of SSTV is that the more popular platforms (MMSSTV, BlackCat SSTV, and fldigi) can take audio input from your sound card and convert it to the SSTV broadcast.

Pair that up with any WebSDR and you can get nearly any broadcast within reach of your browser and the WebSDR in question.

For #2, a hard-coded 3 days doesn’t scale well. Use a divisor, like 10 or 100 and divide the purchase by it then wait that number of days.

$300 headphones? Three day wait at a divisor of 100, or 30 day wait with a divisor of 10. You could even key it to your hourly income and then it also scales with how much you make. At $7.25/hr that $300 purchase should wait 41 days. At $25/hr it’s 12 days; this also allows one to make incremental savings to pay for it outright.

My personal Venn Diagram of scorpions I am willing to touch and scorpions I will avoid are two completely, non-intersecting circles.

Yeah it was early when I typed that. The sets should have been (1) things I’m willing to touch and (2) scorpions.

Neutrinos: The inscrutable “ghost particles” driving scientists crazy ( arstechnica.com )

We haven’t pinned down the masses of any individual neutrino, and we don’t even know which ones are heavier than the others. When it comes to our ability to collect raw data, neutrinos present a triple threat: they’re incredibly lightweight (even the electron weighs over 5 million times more than all the neutrinos...

Bear in mind that the ultrapure water used in these things behave like an acid. There is a story of a dropped wrench, the remains of which were later found to have been completely dissolved.

One I’ve heard: a guy was giving another guy some shit for drinking a “girly drink”, saying “real men don’t drink those”.

The guy instantly responded, “Real men drink whatever the fuck they want.”

FaxSalad. I also have needed to send a fax when I have virtually zero paper, or even when I do have paper I still have no fax machine.

You can even send it as HIPAA-compliant which they don’t (or are not supposed to) keep a server-side copy.

I spent 90 days immersing myself in Esperanto on Duolingo and was blown away what I could understand about a Buddhist monk tell me about his life in Esperanto on YouTube by the end of that period.

667 ,
@667@lemmy.radio avatar

I can’t recognize that phrase you’ve used there, it doesn’t seem to be Esperanto. It’s been some years since I’ve studied and used it, but as I recall there is only one definite article, “La”. In use, “La vetero estas varma”, meaning “the weather is warm”.

Oh got it! I’m not Buddhist and was quite confused. The monk in the video spoke more about his life and living conditions and toured the video producer around to explain their daily lives. It was quite fascinating.

Scariest/creepiest production logo?

When I was little, TV shows and movies apparently liked to make their production logos creepy. That logo that appeared either in the beginning of a VHS tape or DVD or in the end was enough to get some of us to not sneak out of our rooms at night and watch our favorite shows/movies. And as I grew older, I'd be confirmed of the...

Not TV/movie, but Valve’s video logo and accompanying sound was pretty startling at the time.

What linguistic constructions do you hate that no one else seems to mind?

It bugs me when people say "the thing is is that" (if you listen for it, you'll start hearing it... or maybe that's something that people only do in my area.) ("What the thing is is that..." is fine. But "the thing is is that..." bugs me.)...

”Going forward”

Because it’s a management phrase meant for discussions in directing a group that’s been co-opted by peers to make them sound more authoritative than their relative position actually is.

Had a co-worker say this to me the other day about something and I realized that I don’t like being spoken to as a subordinate by my peers.

I had a Monteverde retractable rollerball I absolutely loved which was well-suited to writing through carbon forms.

Like most things, many people don’t want to be inconvenienced with the ritual of refilling their pens; a ritual many fountain pen owners actually enjoy; they don’t care about the granular control over color. Blue is blue. Black is black. But for us, a particular shade of cornflower blue is what brings us joy.

Are there any working tools to rip an entire Instagram account?

I don't have an account myself, and the photos and videos I'm trying to download en masse belong to a famous person's public account. Is there anything I can use to do it (as long as it's not creating an account lol), preferably proxied tools as apparently I get blocked while behind a VPN?...

It’s a practical, demonstrative example of scarcity. It causes people to act internally rational, even though there are far more efficient methods.

Bone conduction headphones?

I just recently learned that this is a thing that exists. I've had a couple audiology tests that use these weird headphones with firm rubber balls where normally expect to see the speakers; the rubber balls sit on your temporal bone, and there's a metal bar the wraps around your head connecting them and giving them pressure to...

It seems they would like the flexibility to administrate the server any way which suits them. Using someone else’s server would complicate that, and expose their discussions to unknown administrators.

Those are just the things I can think of right off the bat.

The intent is for it to completely disintegrate by the time you need to claim benefits and can’t remember your SSN.

j/k, the completely disintegrating part is true, the last part is that there won’t be any SSN benefits by the time Gen Y and later gets around to retiring.
