This image is an example of the danger of social media.

This was probably posted as a joke. Had it been shared with a small circle of friends IRL, it would have been funny and then forgotten.

But because it was posted on social media, the whole world saw it. And because nobody heard the teasing tone in the poster's voice, or saw his smirk, nobody that's reading it knows it's a joke.

It's plausible that the reader sees it as a true statement worth fighting for.

KInda curious about today's handling of video and photos on or many devices.

Howcum you can zoom into a photo to the pixel level in a browser, but you can't do that to a video?

I'm kinda curious.

Who owns a 3d printer and who doesn't? Plan on getting one? Or simply don't care?

SMH. One of the delightful things about getting old is that each and every healthcare provider feels the need to use a different app. Each. And. Every. One.

So I now have a whole boatload of stinking apps for healthcare providers.

Accuracy and repeatability are always good. But how do you know if your test gear is really measuring accurately?

This is my latest #3dprint. It's an 80mt coil form for #hamradio, found on Thigiverse and designed by heathhey. (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5149914)

To my untrained eye it looks pretty good, but I'm sure I'll get fussier as time goes on.

Hey, tooters: What #3Dprint slicer do you use and why?

After a year of doing nothing, I just started up my Creality Ender 3 S1 Pro, and want something that will make sense in the long-run.

Oh, and over on that other platform, we were all tweeters or tweeps. What are we here?

Lately I have been wondering if anyone has worked toward making several #NooElec NESDRs phase-coherent?

If one of you knows of such an attempt, can you point me to them please?

Haveta say that I'm kinda discouraged today. Monday I was diagnosed with Sinus Arrhythmia with PVCs. No one can say why this has happened yet.

I need to stop and catch my breath when walking to the mailbox. I have never had an issue like this before.

If we hadn't moved to a new state for a job, I'd retire. But I can't. I MUST keep working.

BAH.

I'm very curious: why can I sign up for an email list now and begin drinking from the email stream immediately, but when I want to unsubscribe it may take up to ten stinking days?!

Ya. A buncha folk I follow over there aren't on here, so I slum it every so often.

It's freaking disgusting over there.

In the last several days I have noticed something that only seems to occur on Mastodon: mouse-scrolling has gotten really sluggish.

Everywhere else no change, ergo I have no mouse issue or web-connectivity issue.

Is it only me seeing this?

This is interesting and innovative, too! A GREAT way to get the young-uns into ham radio!

From the link below: "This is an experimental radio competition open to high school and university ages. We will send pictures of three geographical locations via an onboard ham radio, but here’s the twist: they’ll be cut into pieces and mixed up! ... While anyone can receive the pictures, forming an international team may help you solve the puzzle!"

Do you belong to the ARRL? Are you lifetime or year-to-year? Me, I'm a year-to-year guy. But lately I feel like the ARRL does less and less for me. I mean, they don't even remove someone from the member's email list when their membership didn't get renewed. (Ask me how I know.) I joined for support and magazines. But you don't even get a hold-it-in-your-hand tree version now.

If you're questioning your ARRL renewal (like myself), then read this from KB6NU.com.

Found in a drawer today. 1) I used to smoke. 2) Was on-air for a little bit there long ago.

I just peeked into twitter. It's noticeably worse after 10 days. Some people just want to raise a ruckus, don't they?

SMH

Farewell, twiiter. At your best, you were pretty good. But those days are gone.
