When you stop and think about it, it seems like an insult to UK taxpayers that the MoD would even employ the kind of people who need reminders like these. Then again, if it's prioritizing 'carbon footprint' over its primary mission, the very MoD itself starts to seem like an insult to taxpayers. View quoted note β†’

It would be nice if a client could hide reposts of a note you've already zapped or reposted yourself so your feed isn't full of reposts of the same note. View quoted note β†’

That's better than my initial thought of get someone to invent a set of wireless USB-C dongles 🀣

Reminds me of an interesting story I heard the other day from a friend who works in local government. Her office normally takes all outgoing mail to the city building where it gets weighed and the postage gets printed onto each envelope. However, the city building was closed this past election day, so she had to take the mail and the agency credit card to the local post office instead. Apparently the local post office doesn't have one of those fancy gadgets like the city building has, so she literally had to buy 71 stamps and affix them to 71 envelopes before the postal worker would accept them. This gave me the opportunity to ask if she'd ever heard of a guy named Lysander Spooner 🀣

NGL if updating the firmware on a Bitaxe was as confusing as flashing this Wio Tracker, my Supra would probably still be running whatever it originally shipped with. Thought for sure I'd bricked this thing because the video I watched wasn't very clear that you need to transfer one file to the device to erase the old firmware and a separate file to install the new firmware, and if you're doing all of this on a Mac, it scares the hell out of you with error messages.

[1:10:52] Crazy how changing the angle of the antenna negatively affects SWR. Guessing that this adjustability was intended to be a relief point to reduce the chance of damaging the antenna base or 3D-printed case. Wonder if this also applies to the antennas on a WiFi router because a lot of those have 90 degree adjustable antennas.

Look at that, I'm a trend-setter after all! 🀣 Actually, for me it was diet change more than financial hardship. Once you commit to Keto, you realize the dine-out juice just isn't worth the squeeze.

50-year mortgage on a house that was built 50 years ago means you're gonna need money set aside to repair and replace things like quest plumbing and stab-in 120V receptacles. Never mind all the aesthetic upgrades that the better half will try to bankrupt you with 🀣 Own nothing? βœ… Be happy? 🀑 View quoted note β†’
