Eisenhower orchestrated the 1953 Iranian coup, overthrowing a democratically elected government, and installed an authoritarian, US-backed puppet. He also overthrew the democratically elected government of Guatemala at the behest of a banana company (United Fruit, now Chiquita).

Every new Republican advances the evil, because it’s never punished.

A strike with an end date is not a strike

TempleOS was built by an American

Best we can do is a government bailout

Not OP but I bought a 45" LG UltraGear gaming “monitor” a while back that’s basically just a TV, no smart anything etc. Right now the only ones I see after a quick search are curved though, mine is flat.

One of my favorite subreddits back when posting photoshopped pictures of birds with arms was all the rage was /r/notbirdswitharms which was a sub where you couldn’t not just post birds with arms, you couldn’t post anything that wasn’t a sandwich

Most states don’t require a permit to concealed carry (but they do in MN)

I won’t vote for a centrist in the primary but I also won’t abstain or vote third party in the general.

Vote your conscience in the primary, harm reduction in the general

I always wanted New England to join Canada and be part of the Maritimes so that the time zone would make more sense. And so New Englanders could get healthcare that wasn’t tied to employment

Danish can be a bit hard to understand

It doesn’t impact the contents of your drive but I would certainly back everything up and be prepared to start from scratch. When I did it I had to get a programmer, disassemble the computer, and hook up wires straight to the coprocessor. Not for the faint of heart

I’ve done one before, it was an involved process but doable with the right tools. I think it’s easier on the T480s than the older thinkpads though

Dang, one of the few that can run free firmware. Put libreboot on that thing! If you haven’t already

False hope. Come election time Republicans will rally around some insane thing like “Democrats are eating babies” and they’ll pull the lever for whoever has an R by their name. Even non-crazy people will tell themselves some half-baked story that starts with “Well, I don’t like Trump but…” and do the same thing.

You mean RFK Jr didn’t have any medbeds for such an influential figure? Color me surprised

He was flirting with holocaust denial decades ago, was a Trump supporter from the beginning, became more and more of a generic unhinged conspiracy theorist following that, and yes as you noted was a pretty blatant racist. Sprinkle some misogyny in there for good measure as well.

Behind the Bastards has some good episodes about him

WinLink and VARA are pretty cool, really gives you an appreciation for how little bandwidth is really available in HF bands.

Without a way of knowing which satellite passing overhead was the ISS, in the narrow windows each day where you could see them well enough to correctly point a Yagi at one, you’d quickly run out of battery before making a relevant contact. Also the people on the ISS rarely listen or respond, the most used ham equipment on the ISS is basically a glorified repeater so you’d also have to get above the pileup of all the satellite chasers just trying to log contacts.

JS8Call and FT8 are digital modes that don’t require talking. Plenty of other things to do as well
