Airline Radio Etiquette
  • It's not really that anonymous though. I was looking into it and you can trace a radio signal back to someone's home. But in the sense that it isn't transmitting your phone and name I guess it's kinda anonymous, but then you have to state your call sign which might be traceable.

    Edit: I don't even have a ham license so everything I said is based on very superficial knowledge coming out of my ass.

  • Difference Between Concrete, Concrete Slabs and Concrete Lanes?

    I'm on Street Complete and I'm trying to differentiate between Concrete, Concrete slabs, and concrete lanes. There's a walkway that's just a normal concrete walkway, I didn't know there were so many designations for this.

    Recommendation for Tanto knife <$150 (including fees and taxes)

    Been thinking of getting my first nice knife. I currently rock the Ontario Rat 1, really it because it's a nice beater and has a serrated side. I don't think nice tanto knives have serrated side but I'm willing to compromise since they look so nice.

    Fucking Time Propagation

    Just bought the GWM 5610U-1C. It was a tough decision choosing between the DW5600 and this, ended up choosing this because the atomic time keeping is cool.

    However, I'm a tad annoyed that the time doesn't perfectly match with time.gov and time.is since the atomic sync doesn't account for time propagation, so there's like a fraction of a second delay that's noticeable. Other than that, the watch is fantastic and has most features I would want. (I wish it had barometer and altimeter stuff, maybe even compass, and dive rated so I can press buttons underwater)

    Quick Release Keychain Recommendations

    I would like something secure (preferably locking) and not made using cheap labor but I can be flexible. Obviously the keybar magnut isn't locking so I'm here exploring other options. I didn't go with the nite ize nite binder because I hear those aren't durable. I've looked at carabiners but either they're not locking or too big.

    So far the best contenders I've seen is the keybar medium Magnut which has about 18lbs of pull forcem

    Watch Straps Recommendations

    I am planning on buying a jays and kays 22mm adapter, and thinking of a nato and a perlon strap for a GWM 5610u. Thinking either crowns and buckles or CNS, but I hear crowns and buckles is better so I might shell out for the extra cost.

    What nato strap do you use? Any recommendations?

    In case phones are down and stuff during a disaster, what would be the best way to communicate? Ham radio? Satellite phone? I need options guys.

    Fun Activites and Sidequesting Adventures to do

    So I was out with my friend today and we had nothing planned. So I would like to ask y'all to suggest activities and just little adventures you guys would do.

    List of things we did:

    • Searched online of things to do in our county and found some cool activities. Ended up going to a vietnamese lantern festival thing

    • Geocaches

    • Wandered around in a park because of geocaching

    • Tasting of water from the water fountain at the park

    I have an interview tomorrow morning, any tips, suggestions advice?

    Interviewing for a part time internship for Entry Level IT. I am a full time student Comp Sci major and wanna go into networking, servers, security, so hopefully this gets me my foot in the door. I am a terrible soft skills person and really nervous. My friends told me to print out my resume and transcripts, I will surely do that. Anybody got anything else to suggest?

    Update: I got the position! I honestly didn't even prepare for it, didn't even know what the company did. The comment that talked about learning to search things up was right on, they asked me what I would do if I didn't know how to do something. I answered "looking things up, asking others, and consult documentation." The company seemed really cool and is structured pretty much like Valve Corp in that they wanted jacks of all trades and it was company owned.

    Thank you for all the helpful advice. It definitely helped me out, and hopefully, it helps others out as well.

    Where to Recycle Filament?

    I have a huge bag of filament waste. Where should I send this? I know it is only commercially recyclable in like very specific cases so stuff like PLA will almost never be recycled. However, I do hear of companies accepting filament and they sell back the rolls and stuff. I'm not looking to make a profit or anything, just gotta get this off of me and I want the most sustainable way to do so.

    Standard Notes Premium

    When SimpleLogin merged with Proton, proton unlimited members are able to use SimpleLogin premium for free. Is that the case for Standard Notes? I haven't figured out a way to do this.

    Cube Purchase Advice

    I'm starting out with a cheap Mo Fang Ge brand cube but it's pretty stiff for my taste. I saw some videos about speedcubes and how you can adjust them and all that, thought it was neat. What are some good cubes out there? I would want to avoid any Chinese brand cubes if possible because cheap and Chinese probably means their workers aren't fairly compensated.

    Edit: after much research, I don't think a non-chinese brand cube will be possible. So I guess recommend me whatever the best options are. From the $10-20 range would be a good price for me.

    How are Book Bans Constitutional?

    I know Florida, Texas, and other counties have tried and succeeded to ban books, I wonder how that is even legal since we have the first amendment. I tried doing research on this since Huntington Beach is banning books and people were petitioning against that at the main library.

    I made a little post asking people to petition on the Orange County sub.

    Beginner Linux Guides

    Are there any good resources for helping someone getting into Linux? One of my friends I never thought would get into Linux is asking me for help. He specifically is an advanced Windows power user. I also had someone who was a complete noob, even to Windows.

    For the noob, I suggested LMDE and Kubuntu and they've been having some issues installing LMDE.

    For the power user, I suggested the easy distros such as lmde, kubuntu, nobara but also told them if they wanted to jump into the deep end, arch is cool.

    However, my suggestions don't even cover DEs, WMs or what they even are. I just wish there was a good guide out there. I think that's the biggest hurdle, so many options and not knowing what to pick.
