"This."
But OS X, macOS, and at least one Linux distro are/were UNIX certified.
...which implies the existence of integer women, real women, complex women, imaginary women, rational & irrational women.
Debian (i3 on laptop, headless on homelab).
But apparently my coffee is Arch.
How do we get everyone angry.
This is the problem --- taking away my coffee makes me angry, but I'll be too tired to do anything about it.
Add to that photo editing (as much as GIMP is great...). I would guess DAW and video editing would fall under that category, too...and good luck finding many AAA open source games.
the private business can do what it wants.
"Noooo not like that..."
I was gonna say SuperTuxKart but it's available for Linux, Windows, macOS, and Android per their site.
While "the system" is absolutely at fault for this, lifestyle creep --- and changing finances --- is very real.
For example, if you can almost afford a house, and your rental is modest, you're probably not spending all of your take-home. But if you make just a little bit more it might make financial sense to buy a house, stretching your budget to the max. Short term this really hurts, but long term may end up being a savvy decision.
Opting for a hefty mortgage can be risky, but can also pay off in the long run --- especially in a place like California where property taxes are basically fixed at time of purchase.
Come see the vise grips inherent in the system! Help! Help! I'm being drill pressed!
You can roll your own saline nasal rinse, but it takes a little care to get the salinity just right. And best to boil the water first in case of brain eating amoebas (seriously --- not common, but very, very bad).
I'm holding out for Aperture Science, if for no other reason than that their AI has a dry, dark sense of humor.
I think it's a good question. My take, and I dunno if it's right, is that they fucked up with Roe vs. Wade, and they know it --- they were the dog that caught the car, so to speak. But once you catch the car, what do you do with it? It's no longer something you can use to activate your base. They pivoted the messaging from "abortion bad" to "states rights," but I think that's less of a hot button issue.
So I'm really hoping it's the same with the ACA --- they want to talk about how Dems are socialists and socialism is bad, but they don't necessarily want to "catch the car" here. I do think that any changes will be explicitly about "Obamacare" and any replacement (even if it's exactly the same) will be pushed as "Trumpcare."
I'm probably way off though, and I wouldn't be surprised in the least if they indeed repeal the ACA. And as much as I feel like a horrible person saying it, I have pretty much zero sympathy for those about to get their face eaten by the leopards --- I voted D, and I'm not reliant on the ACA, so basically sorry, but go fuck yourself (not you personally, just the regretful Trump voters --- I am deeply sympathetic to others affected by this).
Same, an R4 with an i5 4670k I built in grad school. It's my ham radio computer now, as happy running Debian as the day I built it.
People often complain about San Francisco's public transit --- and to be sure, it's not perfect by any means (multiple separate agencies doesn't help). But the historic streetcars are pretty neat!
They're painted with the livery of various historic streetcars from all over the country (and a few international, I think). Best of all, they run alongside the modern fleet --- same route, same fare.
Noticed a few days ago that Sutro Tower's red blinking lights are now white. Just asked them on their website form, but wondered if anyone else knows the story with this.
Personally, I miss the red ones!
Howdy!
I got my Technician in early 2000s, and last year finally upgraded to Extra. Looking to set up a very basic shack.
I'm looking for an HF setup, with most of my use probably using digital modes, but would like the ability to use voice.
Current transceiver is on loan from girlfriend's dad, a Ten-Tec Scout 555 --- 50W HF unit with separate modules for each band. One limitation of this is that the modules set the mode, so it's LSB on 40m, making e.g. FT8 not possible (without some hacking of code or perhaps hacking the module).
Antenna is end-fed with an off-the-shelf 49:1. Currently only have 20m half-wave, but have just enough room for a 40m half-wave in the attic, which is the ultimate goal.
For digital modes, it looks like there are sort of 3 classes of radio:
- "full digital" where the radio has e.g. a USB port and handles audio, transmit, and frequency set.
- Some computer-control with RS232, but uses computer audio+adapter to transmit.
- No digital, use adapter to transmit. This is what the current setup uses (and it works great!)
I'm leaning towards a conventional transceiver, e.g., something from ICOM, Kenwood, Yaesu, (or others) rather than an SDR unit. I'd like the ability to go up to 50-100W if possible.
I don't have a hard-and-fast budget; would like to keep it <$1000 if possible; mostly just looking at used transceivers. Something like a Kenwood TS-590 looks pretty amazing and very "plug-and-play" (but pushing up against price). Something like a Yaesu FT-920 looks pretty feature-rich too; and even something more affordable like an ICOM 706 or even a 725 is probably more radio than I need. Or just grab a new 7300 and call it a day!
Anyway...clearly, I don't know exactly what I want, but figured I'd ask folks with more experience if they have any wisdom. Thanks!
