No, but I’m curious on how it works. Keep writing your findings :)
- Comment on FCC commissioner writes op-ed titled, “It’s time for Trump to DOGE the FCC“ 1 week ago:
I don’t see the frequencies going away internationally, and so much equipment is already out. Plus, antagonizing a bunch of creative engineers who take their hobby way too serious is a great idea for all kinds of mischief to happen.
- Comment on Forced to lie on a questionnaire 2 weeks ago:
I would suggest lying. Like when an employer asks you about your position on unions.
- Comment on Here kitty kitty 2 weeks ago:
Mimicry not, but a lot of “cute” behaviour is absolutely learned. If our dog wants something, she pokes you with her paw while making a cute face. Must have learned that from her previous owners. Our previous dog (who we had for much longer) never did that. That shit is 100% conscious effort, as in she observed humans tapping each other on the shoulder and figuring out that it works for her as well.

Idk about you, but I hesitate to get myself killed.

Isn’t that basically Roman weekend entertainment?

I don’t think I could do anything to a bear that would do more than make it angry. Maybe poke it in the eye or something, if it holds perfectly still while I do that. Even then, I would just be mauled to death by a one-eyed bear that suddenly remembers it has those giant claws right there.

I think part of the problem with cats is that you don’t want to injure the cat, but the cat has no problem with injuring you. The stories I hear from people who dealt with panicking/aggressive cats are mostly about catching the cat without hurting it, while avoiding getting hurt yourself.
- Comment on Single stub tuning for nonresonant UHF antenna 3 weeks ago:
I had some luck with a 1/4 - 3/4 coax line balun on UHF, but it was (obviously) very narrowband. I was scared to do a toroid on 70cm because the internet said it would be bad, maybe I should try again

Hah. I made it work enough to do my work, and handed it in as soon as I was done
- Comment on Anon uses Windows 4 weeks ago:
I remember some linux laptops my employer handed out to devs that absolutely needed them. Horrendously outdated and misconfigured, half-assed ports of the company software, you had to have a second laptop to read the knowledge base if it broke again. Not fun. Imagine all the shitshow of corporate windows, but with 1/100th the budget.

May I also recommend dusting off the old pirate hat?
Oh, and group policies. I could not work on a system without turning all sorts of shit off in gpedit.

- Comment on Cardboard Copper Tape Magnetic Loop Experiment 1 month ago:
If you are on a budget (which I guess you are): Get a cheap NanoVNA or similar device. <50€ straight from China. Or get a used SWR meter / antenna analyzer from the usual places (fellow hams, internet, flea markets). It will save you so much trouble, and it is really handy to have one. If you don’t, you can still do it the old-school way of receiving a known signal and simply looking at the outcome. But for that you need a known signal (or generate one). A friend with a radio, for example. Or a broadcast station. Or some local activity.
I built a mag-loop out of tinfoil and duct tape to try out an idea once, because that was faster than getting CST Studio to accept it. It works, because of course it does, but be warned that contact resistances are a bitch.

I guess they have to compete with the financial sector and the likes? Over here, it varies wildly by field and by what you do.

I don’t know about their monarchy, and I don’t care. Our 19th century grandparents were too mild on the aristocrats, if you ask me. Abdicate or get the French treatment.
You should get cash for reasons that are obvious to anyone with two brain cells: if there is a blackout or cyber attack or failure of the internet, you can still pay by cash. The fact that people don’t use cash now is irrelevant. Nobody sits at candlelight listening to a battery powered radio right now either.
As a fellow pervert, I welcome my swedish siblings.

Okay, let’s turn this shipost into a brainstorming session: what would be socially accepted “slutty outfits” for men, both straight and gay?
I feel like our fashion choices are limited to tank tops, shorts and if you feel fancy, half open shirts.
- Comment on Anon is worried about men 1 month ago:
No, I mean the quack bullshit about creating energy from nothing. And not just some theoretical framework, as in technically, this could yield a net positive somehow, no. My guy was convinced he could build it himself from tinfoil and strings, if “the establishment” didn’t oppress him (meaning his coworkers and bosses told him it’s stupid).
Fucking wild. Imagine it being that easy, and everybody in the world is either too dumb to come to the same conclusion or in the pocket of Big Oil. Not even, like, a North Korean mad scientist trying to one-up the capitalist pigs? Yeah, sure.
- Comment on Anon is worried about men 1 month ago:
Out of curiosity, have some sources for “most of the academic field”? It sounds like some sociology/psychology thing.
- Comment on Anon is worried about men 1 month ago:
I had a physics professor tell me about free energy. Having a degree is not 100% effective in curing stupid.

Sure, and money grows on trees
- Comment on Anon explains scam callers 1 month ago:
Yeah, I don’t understand this either. If someone offered me to make me rich by paying him 10 bucks on the street, I’d tell him to fuck off and evaluate my chances in a fight and/or escape route. But as soon as a computer is involved, some people’s brain shuts off or something.

People != their government
Except that they’re still mostly a democracy, and they vote for the shit.
- Comment on Anon is Turkish 1 month ago:
Lobbying from a small nation with no money, resources or military power, that doesn’t even buy our stuff and snuggles up to Russia for protection? I don’t really see how that would work. It doesn’t check out with the behaviour of US/EU other conflicts, like Israel or Armenia-Azerbaijan, where we immediately sided with the party that had oil/gas and bought our weapons.
I’m willing to have my mind changed, but the gut feeling doesn’t really point that way here

You do realize that this hobby consists of nerds and pensioners, who sometimes spend thousands on being able to talk to other nerds?
If anything, you might need to politely stop people from over-sharing all the cool stuff they made… :D

As always, the answer is “it depends” :D

10W at 2m, 70cm and 10m. except for the 10m, which I have never heard anyone use, that fits pretty well with the idea of giving high school kids an aliexpress handheld to get them into STEM.
The ugly part is, you need to do the same regulatory and legal questionnaire that you need to do for the larger licenses.
“N Lizenz” in Germany, for reference
- Comment on What Can We Do to Get Youth into Ham Radio? 1 month ago:
My country just introduced a super-beginners license that can be done with basic high school physics. Of course, severe limitations, basically, a “Baofeng license”. Still great idea.
