Lemmit already existed and was annoying as hell. It was the first account I remember blocking.

Never played Bully so I can say this without you thinking it shaped my world view: Just admit you're wrong.
![Bully (released in the PAL region as Canis Canem Edit; Latin for "dog eat dog")[1] is a 2006 action-adventure video game developed by Rockstar Vancouver and published by Rockstar Games. Set in the fictional town of Bullworth, the single-player story follows juvenile delinquent student Jimmy Hopkins, who is involuntarily enrolled at Bullworth Academy boarding school for a year, and puts his efforts to rise through the ranks of the school system to stop bullying.](https://programming.dev/pictrs/image/d752d472-39e8-4515-9e64-db6f03d8893b.png)
For an extra 0 on the price I hope so lol. I've been happy with it!
Oh nice. I see it for ~$80 on their site, but still, that's cool. Never heard of it. I ended up getting a Xiegu G90 for HF. I'm curious how well the RT-880 works for HF. Gonna see if there are any reviews of it. I would've loved to know about it last year lol.
There's no restriction to purchase this stuff, so licensing will only stop accidents, not intentional bad actors. Even Baofengs can be put into a "ham mode" so they don't transmit out of band. I don't think we'd see it happen, but a license class under technician targeted at getting people legally able to use lower power handhelds super quickly would be nice. Even the technician question bank has questions about things that ultimately don't really matter for making sure people operate in band as they should. The metaphor I give folks is like if your driver's license test asked you questions about how to build engines. (And part of the reason we won't ever see that is because amateur radio licenses allow you to construct and use your own equipment, as opposed to things like FRS where the part itself has to be certified.)
I get you, it's pretty easy, but I'm just saying trying to get somebody into a hobby, and then saying "actually you can't talk to people until you schedule a test" is a huge barrier.
Big Picture mode in Steam is wonky as fuck for me
Edit: Not sure why this is so controversial. It's always been weirdly laggy, even in my old computer and at other people's houses. To be fair, I haven't tried Heroic, but I was never saying Steam was better/worse
Ham radio played a massive role while the Internet was out following hurricane Helene. https://youtu.be/w8hSHq8dGsA
If you don't know how to use a radio or set it up before the emergency then it's useless. You need to be ready before. And part of getting ready and learning is being licensed.
2m doesn't bounce off the atmosphere. You really need 10m for that. 6m in the mist perfect ideal scenarios but it's still very rare (and in this scenario you aren't gonna know when). EME (the moon stuff) is also pretty tricky and requires a lot of power because of how messed up the signals get in the process.
That's not an emergency scenario, that's an apocalyptic scenario.
They've both said it's better to be alone than with a terrible person and that they don't have a choice to be with anyone, so I don't think they're really thinking this stuff through.
