Disappointing that my most expensive radio has the fewest programming/firmware update options. And to my ears, the 'superheterodyne' stuff doesn't sound any better than a $16 Baofeng. Something to keep in mind if you're looking at buying a Wouxun brand radio that isn't CHIRP-compatible.

What you'll learn (fast): Why GMRS is the practical "bigger brother" to FRS: same 22 channels, different rules, more capability. The license is...

As if the same MSM who treated Assange and Wikileaks like a case of ebola would have the balls to actually warn people about a POTUS using the military as his personal mafia. View quoted note →

"Many events are covered from surgeries to critical care to lacerations to fractures." Is it just me or does accident insurance sound like insurance for people with crappy health insurance? 🤡

How many TH/s of mining capacity could you add to the network with the electricity wasted producing and televising one episode of The View...

I miss the hoopty's heated seats. Somehow the one 'luxury' feature that still worked. RIP Eldo 😢

Source: Brave Leo A.I. November 2025 SNAP benefits are at risk of not being issued due to the ongoing federal government shutdown, which began on October 1, 2025 The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has warned that there will be insufficient funds to pay full November benefits for approximately 42 million recipients if the shutdown continues Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins stated the program will run out of money within weeks, leaving millions of vulnerable families without food assistance Multiple states have issued alerts confirming that November SNAP payments cannot be issued without federal funding. Pennsylvania, Illinois, Texas, Maine, Oregon, and New Mexico are among the states warning residents that benefits will not be paid if the shutdown persists Pennsylvania halted SNAP payments starting October 16, explicitly blaming Republican failure to pass a federal budget Illinois, which provides over $350 million in monthly SNAP benefits to 1.9 million people, confirmed it lacks the budget to backfill federal funds The USDA’s contingency fund of about $6 billion is insufficient to cover the estimated $8 billion needed for November benefits While the Trump administration redirected $300 million in tariff revenue to sustain the WIC program through November, officials state there is not enough remaining to support SNAP States like New York and California have confirmed that October benefits are secure, but November disbursements depend on the federal government reopening by October 23 or receiving emergency funding Governors including Kathy Hochul (New York), Gavin Newsom (California), and Tina Kotek (Oregon) have criticized the federal government for endangering food security, calling the situation “cruel and unacceptable” and urging immediate action to protect low-income families, especially ahead of Thanksgiving Advocates emphasize that food pantries cannot compensate for the loss of SNAP, a critical lifeline for one in eight Americans

I just can't get over this. One of the first 'grown-up' movies I ever watched depicted Bill Murray driving a top secret, rocket-launching RV deep into Czechoslovakia on a rescue mission. The difference 44 years makes. View quoted note →

So it just displays a QR to redeem the sats? No need to KYC yourself to some exchange you've never heard of and squint yourself blind reading a ToS agreement? CoinStar company and USGOV, kindly GFY 🤬 View quoted note →

I'd gladly pay $1 to send an email if I got paid 10 cents every time I received an email.

Would it be possible for an ISP to block access to Primal even if you were using a VPN?

Tell us you view US statehood as a tool of federal occupation without telling us. Makes sense now why they don't offer this 'premium level' of support to Israel. I mean after all, they didn't let a pesky ocean get in the way of bestowing the privilege on Hawaii. View quoted note →

I don't know what to think about the moon landing. If it did happen that long ago, it seems like we should be a lot further along technologically (assuming space exploration R&D money wasn't being embezzled). Also, maybe technology has advanced exponentially but they're keeping some of it hidden from the tax cattle who helped pay for it. One scenario I could absolutely see happening is recording equipment snafus made it a visual nothingburger so they enlisted Hollywood to create dramatized footage for the plebs. All I know is the number of vials of "moon dust" I've seen for sale makes me wonder whether they went there in a rocket or a dump truck lol View quoted note →
