  Oh man… I’m dyslexic so basically without GPS I’m constantly confused.

  I worked for a weird IT company called AllSafe J/K AllCovered™ that really leaned into their homegrown dispatch software. And it was pretty impressive… but it relied on the GPS in our Dell laptops, which was not so hot inside a Ferriday cage, or frankly even sitting on top of a car, so I remember having a Thomas Guide, and several other paper maps that I would try desperately to use to find the next client location.

  It was almost never the same client twice so learning a route was basically impossible. I got shitcanned for bitching out my supervisor, who didn’t know he was my supervisor, because none of us knew who each other were. Good-fuck, social engineering would have been a piece of cake back then.

  Childhood memories unlocked! They even made time for the best 4th grade field trip ever 🤤

  We got to make our own tiny pizza 🍕

  What was yours?

  It’s been a long time since I’ve seen one, but chain-smokers are probably the target market. I used to work with a guy who would light the next cigarette with the cherry of the last one.

  You also talking about the era that was framed by almost nonsensical conveniences.

  Because the last time you saw that packaging was the 90’s and those colors were everywhere 😆

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Physical copy of GTA VI has arrived⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So only 4, 100 packs… and a slot loading drive with a robot arm. We can do this ;-)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨is our battery/junk drawer dangerous?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  True. There’s lots of pretty dodgy cells floating around these days, and they are often marked as being from more reputable manufacturers… I’m speaking mostly of packaging batteries 18650 and larger (probably smaller too) rolled type batteries, though I assume there’s shitty prismatic/pouch types as well.

  I didn’t see anything like that in OP’s image, which is why I wasn’t advising undue caution. Personally I try very hard to stick with reputable brands and establish manufacturers when playing around with bare cells, power banks, weird Amazon gadgets, etc.

  I’m certainly not a proper expert either. I do try to exercise an abundance of caution with unknown or questionable products, damaged cells, etc.

  Years ago when getting into quadcopters/drones I read some good advice; high powered batteries should be treated more like fuel than traditional NiCad/NiMh batteries. That advice has always served me well.

  I mean… there’s that company big ass fans, I feel like they definitely refer to it as such ;-)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨is our battery/junk drawer dangerous?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s fine. Even if they were lithium batteries —still fine. See battery manufacturers actually design batteries specifically so that they don’t fail catastrophically (🤯 crazy right?) but it’s true. Turns out they have whole-ass warehouses full of them.

  Obviously it’s possible for lithium batteries to fail catastrophically, but this isn’t a typical failure mode. Generally catastrophic failures happen when a battery is damaged and or under load.

  Typical household batteries are not as energy dense as EV batteries. And are not packed as densely such that a single cell puffing won’t cause a cascading failure.

  I do recommend keeping them in bags to contain leaks, coin cells are generally already well packed, but it can’t hurt. It’s also not a terrible idea to write the date you bought them on the bags and properly dispose of them after ~5 years.

  My radio dummy tip (I’d definitely not an expert) is definitely go outside when scanning for interesting stuff to listen to. It took me a few afternoons of scanning to find anything, let alone anything interesting. Hopefully you’ll have better luck :-)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What to do with a box of Baofengs?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  LOL, I’d suggest a USB power strip to keep them charged. If you really want to get rid of them something like a local Boy Scout troop maybe? Obviously they have issues, there might be some other outfit like a local ARRL group.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What to do with a box of Baofengs?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Save them for the collapse of society 😅

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's your favorite ship or class of ship?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Damn that’s tough. I’m theoretically watching DS-9 right now, so either the USS To Little To Late AKA The ooooo it’s got guns we never fire… or any of The Kardashian ships because they remind me a bit of Captain Nemo’s sub in the Disney version of 20kl Under the Sea. Which is my jam… if you can’t get behind James Mason and a singing harbor seal then you need to rethink your life.

  I’m just presuming a Kilo League is a metrical unit, and I’m just going to leave Kardashian as is because it made me laugh. Somebody needs to AI up a picture of one of their ships with a big zipper in the rear 😝😵

  I’m seeing like the long 90’s Batmobile but like a cheesy lake paddle boat version… maybe a Pontiac Aztec?
