I was also in scouts from cubs through Eagle and I still think it fits the definition of (kinda) paramilitary lol.

We clearly just have different definitions of that word and therefore I’m just going to have to agree to disagree with you.

Army lets you come in at a higher rank if you have your Eagle rank.

I dunno man sounds a little militaryish to me…

Also were you ever in the scouts?

They have ranks that resemble military ranks (1st class, 2nd class ~ 1st lieutenant, 2nd lieutenant) etc and have a hierarchical leadership structure.

adjective Of, relating to, or being a group of civilians organized in a military fashion, especially to operate in place of or assist regular army troops.

Literally the first Google result lol

Also said (kinda) paramilitary so settle down there guy lol

claps great recovery!

Paramilitary because of the rank and leadership structure. I’m not saying they’re doing combat training lmao

When I said paramilitary I was really just talking about the ranks and leadership structure.

Why the fuck would you get rid of boy scouts it’s literally a patriotic paramilitary (kinda) organization with a checkered past on sexual abuse that should be a Republican wet dream lol

Literally happens every time you get food from a place that serves you from a bar and STILL expects a tip.

A little notebook I carry around with me

I work in RF and have to mess around with SMA cables all the time. As a result I carry a 5/16 wrench on my lanyard.

Pretty sure she was just hot dude

Lol it even implies that living on the Western edge of a time zone increases your likelihood of breast cancer. Get the fuck out of here

And here’s a mountain goats song that I think captures the feeling really well!

I would call it an ordeal

Holy victim mentality

Honestly looks like a malfunctioning app to me. With propagation effects, the strongest radar returns should naturally be closest to the center of the circle with weaker returns as you go farther out.

In this case you’ve got strongish returns right up to what looks like the edge of the radar’s unambiguous range and basically no returns towards the inside… Which I don’t think represents any real phenomena. Looks more like the app is incorrectly rendering (or not rendering at all) the higher value radar returns, leaving that weird ring. Notice how there are some splotchy lower value returns towards the center though, which would be expected under normal circumstances.

Some antennas have active components (not just preamps) that require some kind of DC voltage to work properly. Pretty common in dedicated GPS antennas. They also have bias ts covering pretty much any band you can think of. Well into the GHz range.

Yep! You just get a prescription from the eye doctor and enter the values on the site. 20 bucks later and boom you have some very reliable and inexpensive glasses. I’ve been using these guys for years and had basically zero issues.

To be fair you can get a pair of glasses on Zenni for like 20 bucks.
