Couldn't remember why the name Renee Nicole Good (woman shot by ICE agent) sounded familiar. Rachel Nicole Good missing since 2003, father suspects police involvement in her disappearance.

In the quiet town of Elkton, Virginia, October 18, 2003, marked the beginning of a mystery that has endured for nearly two decades—the disappeara...

Any ideas why the 'open in fountain' button doesn't work in Brave (android)?

Set up the wife with a Meshtastic node. She said we need to work on our marketing because "meshtastic node" sounds like bad news you'd get from a doctor after an x-ray 🤣

Two-way radio will have you questioning the sanity of the people who created the English language. For example, 34% of the alphabet ends with the same 'eeee' sound (30% if you pronounce it 'zed' instead of 'zee'). A, J, and K sound dangerously similar. All letters are pronounced with one syllable except for 'W', which has to be special and in doing so, destroys the brevity of any acronym in which it is included. And the military phonetic version just makes things worse. 7% are represented by a single-syllable word, 23% are represented by a three-syllable word, one contains a hyphen (x-ray), and the letter Q is represented by the word Quebec, only you gotta pronounce it 'key-beck', which often tricks your brain into writing a K instead of a Q.

Not to rain on the celebration but I don't think Maduro was the reason my car has to have a front license plate.

Listening to first responder radio traffic while driving is a lot safer than trying to squint at colored lines in Google Maps. Depending on the frequencies used in your area, a $16 Baofeng and radioreference.com may be all you need.

The Hidden Tax on Self-Sufficiency: Why Modern Homesteading Is So Hard

Old dozer starts and warms up on gasoline then runs on diesel. In our modern age of flex fuel and gas-electric hybrids, it's easy to forget (or have never known) that stuff like this existed long before most of us were born.

It's 2026 and X expects me to create an account to watch a video one of its users swiped and uploaded from someone else's TikTok account 🤡

No shortage of Meshtastic how-to videos on YT but few that go into this much detail honestly covering both the good and bad. Mesh-anything by its nature needs mass adoption to be useful and speaking as my inner circle's designated 'interpreter' of "nerd stuff", in its current form this has almost zero chance of mass adoption by normies, even those who are into disaster prep. Based on my initial experience, MeshCore seems to have a better chance of achieving that goal and even that may be optimistic. Just one example: maybe I was overlooking something but never was able to figure out how to share channel settings by QR code from Android to iPhone, and it's awfully coincidental that all of the how-to videos I've seen always demo the reverse - sharing from iPhone to Android. I agree that Meshtastic is amazing when it works but not sure if that's due more to the fact it uses affordable low power hardware or because the setup process is enough to make you want to toss it all in the trash and buy a CB radio. Don't know the guy personally but wouldn't be the least bit surprised if Jack Dorsey's motivation to create his bitchat app came from test-driving Meshtastic.

Why, did YT put the 0.5X button behind a paywall? 🤣 No matter how bad things get, Ben will always be able to find work as an auctioneer or the side-effects reader in a pharma ad 🤣 View quoted note →

Avalon mini 3 has a mining mode that uses full power and fan speed, and a heat mode that uses less power but because it runs at a slower fan speed, the unit itself gets significantly hotter and doesn't circulate air well in the room. Not sure if I should run it in mining mode (ignoring the 80% rule) or heater mode with a desk fan blowing on it to help move heat. Also tried to update the firmware and it just kept throwing E-01 error.
