Or we could actually make some stuff in the US/EU for a change. I know it takes time but it’s probably for the best in the long run

lol

I wish the FCC would lighten up the amateur radio rules tho. Cool stuff like Meshtastic is happening outside of licenced bands and is taking off

You say that like it hasn’t been in decline since 2000 or so lol

If everything works out okay yay.

If everything goes to shit republicans have nobody to blame because they have a majority everywhere and we can vote them out.

And the democrats got a wakeup call they can learn from (but they played the same 2016 tactics and got the same 2016 prize so we’ll see if anything sticks next time)

This is general advice regardless of party.

Look at your your town/city govt and keep an eye on meetings (a lot are streamed now post Covid). Know the people in office and what they are for/against. Focus on actions more than words. Vote for people you believe in and keep in contact with them. They can be surprisingly approachable.

Act similarly at the state level. Know and pay attention to the justices, senators and representatives. Reach out on issues you find important.

Being informed on govt and politicians doesn’t happen through ads and comment sections, and it doesn’t stop when elections are over. Do what you can where you can for what you believe in.

And maybe just maybe it will result in a solid Presidential candidate

Nice try FBI

Temp has an effect on all batteries. Wouldn’t hurt. And keeping it dry will keep metal parts from rusting as quickly

I like X.com only because I like X-Com

If a nuclear missile is launched at the United States the President has just 6 minutes to come to terms with that and decide to launch a counter attack or not.

If that counter attack is headed to North Korea, any land based missiles will head over the arctic circle, over Russian airspace where similar shoot/no shoot decisions will have to be made in a similar timeframe.

get your common sense and logic out of here lol

I imagine that’s only if you market it as drugs.

“Hey you got the good drugs?” “Yeah here”

But what if you played the long con, started…say a salt distribution ring. Have a run down house full of it, sell it in baggies, make it look as suspicious as possible only for them to do stakeouts, get informants in there, just to find you are not doing anything illegal at all, it just has all the signs without the actual law breaking. If you call it salt they’ll probably think it’s a code name for a drug

“Hey you got the good salt?” “Yeah here”

goes back to the police lab

“wtf? It’s just salt?”

Then they would just think the informant got compromised and have to raid the house lol

Follower? Fan? Enjoyer? lol

It’s called 10 tap. So quickly half press (not clicking) the button 10 times, then press and hold. It goes to the next mode preset.

For normal use clicking the button is the first mode (low) and half press then click for the second (high)

like this (skip about halfway)

My go to light for work is a Streamlight Protac 2L-X. It has a few modes to set it up how you prefer. Plain bright. Low, bright. Bright, strobe. Rechargable 18650 but you have to take the battery out to plug a usb into it but it lasts a loong time between charges so I don’t mind

Strobe is great for raves, self defense and epilepsy tests! (jk)

I see it as every employee walmart has to hire and pay to solve this problem is a local and the money will be saved and spent locally, not automatically going to be another drop in some CEO’s bucket.

The best choice is to shop local in the first place but some places don’t have that luxury. And who knows if enough local money builds up people might open their own businesses

I mean to explain the current longer wait times

This is uneducated speculation but what if more people are going to vote as elections get crazier and voting centers aren’t used to the higher volume?

seahorse intensifies

OG Planet of the Apes, Horizon Zero Dawn is too in a way
