An NC history group on Facebook and all the "historical" pics are AI. 😬 Premium access for $1.99/month. 🤣

Part of why my mind is so damaged is that I grew up with a shortwave radio in my bedroom. I overexposed as a child. 🤣 That radio would pull in the world for me. Stations would give a mailing address on the air. I could write and tell the date / time / and frequency of what I heard. The station would send a nice card back confirming. A QSL. Radio Moscow sent good swag. I wrote one time and asked for a city map, "just a cheap one." They sent it! Hilversum, Holland, had a fun...

1976, as a teenager, I fought my way into being a member of the local amateur radio club to use their old, but fine, Collins rigs and rotatable beam high in the sky. The old guys there were not keen on letting a teenager become a member until that teenager brought two dozen donuts to a meeting. I was voted in that night. 🍩 👍 #HamRadio #AmateurRadio

I was looking for some excuse to grab a bittle lottle at the liquor store today. This was it! "I need to get it before the GHOE's really start rolling into town and slurping it down." GHOE = Greatest Homecoming on Earth. N.C. A&T State University has the world's largest homecoming (GHOE) which will peak this weekend. It's the 100th one, so it will be even larger than usual. In the 80's, we always made time to go gay clubbin'...

I was looking at something today that was advertised as being "backed by the full faith and credit of the US Government." Is that supposed to be good? 😬 🤷

As soon as Halloween is over, be ready to move the selector to "War on Christmas." It's OK to practice saying "happy holidays" a few times right now. #WarOnChristmas

The Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) will probably be banned in Florida for this. My spouse is a musician and plays gigs in churches. We find these Presbyterian ones to be pretty good, United Methodist, too, some Baptist. - At the denomination’s 227th General Assembly in Milwaukee in June, commissioners voted in favor of a churchwide call to action supporting the people of Cuba and the PC(USA)’s sister-denomination, the Presbyterian-Reformed Church in Cuba. https://pcusa.org/news-storytelling/ne...

Looking at a holiday food business order form, I keep seeing the word "housemade" instead of "homemade." Both are dictionary words but housemade hits me funny. I probably won't fly into a rage about it. 😁

We just cleaned and refilled the birdbaths. A huge crow flies in with an entire slice of bread in its beak, drops it in the water, eats half, then leaves the rest in there. Rude! 🐦⬛

Nothing against #French people, but literally the only people that reach out to me in a foreign #language (besides English and German as it's obvious I'm located in Germany) are French. If you open an #issue, you want sth from me, so make sure I understand it. Do you think it's harsh to ignore these issues or ask for an English translation? #opensource #github #maintainer #development

I've bought a used #microslop #surface go2 with the m3 CPU and 128GB nvme (it was also available with a Pentium and 64GB eMMC) including a keyboard cover. The battery has only 200 cycles. I don't exactly know what I expect, but #Windows will go for sure. Maybe I'll sell it or just keep it as a small, lightweight multimedia device/notebook. Would you be interested in a 30(?) day challenge of using a #Linux tablet instead of an #iPad at #school while being surrounded by #a...

I am working with some #embedded #esp32 #websocket for #ClassQuiz. It took me hours why the websocket connection would seemingly random collapse. Now I figured it out after debugging for hours: I configured a timeout for the network socket on the esp32. At least I found it after setting up Wireshark and later #mitmproxy with custom CA certificates... What gave me the final hint were the exact 2 seconds between the websocket opening and closing. #embedded #rust

Niemand: #Belgien: Wir könnten ja neue #AKW's bauen, um UNABHÄNGIG zu sein. Mir gar nicht bekannt, dass Belgien Uranminen hat 🤦 Was ein Schwachsinn. #Atomkraft Quelle: https://www.tagesschau.de/ausland/europa/belgien-atomkraft-entscheidung-100.html

I've just received a Manta Kit from #ifixit @iFixit which I paid 55€ for. It was described as "new, but missing/damaged packaging". In the photo I marked every bit that wasn't in the right place (some were double, so some must be missing) and the grime and damage on the screwdrivers themselves. I've contacted them, let's see how they react. But this is completely unacceptable and has nothing to do with "we checked the item"

Due to the extreme heat today, one rail company pauses operation for 6h. Instead, on one essential line, a replacement train without AC will run. All other lines have indirect counterparts, but still make you change trains more often than the normal line. Normally, modern trains with AC would run on these routes. What kind of BS is that? I mean, I get the idea of protecting staff, but then having to resort to non-ac trains? WTF? It's 40C+ #PublicTransport #öpnv #nrw #bahn #nationale...

I just had to reach out to #jlcpcb as my shipment seems stuck. And I was surprised: I opened the chat, told the AI my shipment is stuck and literally 5 seconds later "A customer agent joined the chat". That's freaking awesome! And it felt like the agent was typing at 200 words/minute, as quickly as they responded, also without a translator (due to spelling mistakes, which I domn't mind). Let's see if they keep the promise on following up via mail

I've been super silent.. again! But nothing to worry about. This will probably change over the next 3 weeks as I'll embark on an #interrail journey. First stop: #Luxembourg. Tomorrow!

I've been walking through #Metz and a bit outside of the city center, there was a church and a single person was playing or practicing #panflute! I can't describe the atmosphere in this church as it also looked a bit run down on the inside and then this man playing on his pan flute while only I and the guy are in this church #interrailMawokaSummer2026

I'd like to have a word with the #HitachiRail engineer that decided to put the #ac outlets on the floor, blasting the feet and placing the temperature sensor on the ceiling! That's what I'd call a design flaw. And I suffered 2h through that. That taught me the lesson to never choose a place on the upper deck on these trains! #Italy #Trenord #interrail #trains #interrailMawokaSummer2026
