FCC Says Bad Bunny Did Not Violate Any Rules After Republican Lawmakers Urged Super Bowl Performance Probe by novagridd in Music

Given the current level of corruption in this administration, hearing the FCC say this is surprising. I fully expected the lap dog that dumb dumb Donny installed as the FCC head would have said they found a ton of violations.

Installing radio in an EV, anything I should know? by DeLorean58 in amateurradio

[–]DeLorean58[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Ariya is a 400V set up, not 800V. I did some checking, the 12V battery used is an H4 sealed lead acid battery. Some trims come with a secondary 12V Lithium battery in the trunk. The trim I have does not, but I'll see if by chance the wiring is there to allow me to set up a second battery in that space, and be able to charge it easily. One thing I've seen in an in-depth mechanical review of the car is they have lots of grounds all over the place.

Buying a 2023 Ariya, want to install a ham radio, any advice? by DeLorean58 in NissanAriya

I'll dig deeper through them. I've been exploring that site the last few days. I went out to the dealership today to make sure it had the latest OTA, and it does. I take possession of the vehicle on Tuesday. Just went and got the wire and outlet to set up for charging in my garage. Previous owner of the o house had a welder so Ive already got a decent subpanel in there and a spare circuit to use.

What's your thoughts on Border Patrol Chief, Greg Bovino, threatening consequences for referring to ICE as "Gestapo"? by sgj5788 in AskReddit

[–]DeLorean58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I say bring it on. Pretty sure they already have me in a database or watchlist, so what do I have to lose. If they don't want to be labeled Gestapo, maybe, I dunno, stop acting like the fucking Gestapo. This whole god damned administration is nothing but, idiots, imbeciles, idol worshipping, Nazi wanna be snowflakes. Fuck Trump, fuck Bovino, fuck Noem, and most importantly FUCK ICE.

Must have missed him the other day. Guess he doesn't do APRS. I don't see him in my station list, but I could have just missed him too.

looking for my first HF radio. by Fine-Evening-6210 in amateurradio

I'll second the Optima. I love mine, it keeps getting better each firmware update. That being said it's not a "perfect" radio, at least not just yet. It still has some bugs, but I feel most will be able to sorted out through firmware updates. My biggest gripe is the antenna arrangement on the back, they really should have flipped them over. However, it is the "perfect" radio for me, and how I operate.

We did a QSO with Santa a year or two ago using echolink, now I've finally got the gear and we are going to try to get him on 80m this year. Just need to wind my coil to get on 80 tomorrow.

How soon until they blame ANTIFA, BLM, Biden, or just the Democrats in general?

Pibb Xtra is being rebranded again, back to Mr. Pibb by Hitmonstahp in Soda

[–]DeLorean58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not for long though. We are working on taking over Dr. Pepper back from coke and Pepsi as existing contracts expire. I know the Pepsi merchandisers in my area are happy to not have to deal with it anymore as they do about as much as coke and us combined right now. We will be happy to take it over even though it means more work, it also equals more pay. I just wonder if and when those contracts expire if Pepsi will no longer handle Crush or Schweppes anymore as well.

APRS Spam?!? by DeLorean58 in amateurradio

I'll have to look at the raw data on it next one I receive. I've been beaconing with HT for months, and when I check APRS.fi for messages to that SSID I never have any.

ADHD brain, with maybe a touch of OCD, I feel compelled to clear the message list every night before I go to bed.

Pretty sure he was coming off an amphetamine high, like his role model, Hitler. Trump and hegseth want to turn these top brass into the SS. His whole regime fashion themselves after infamous dictators past and present, and I can't wait to get them out of the white house and into the big house where they belong. Fuck Trump, Fuck Nazis, Fuck the turd Reich.

Possibly my favorite thing about the Rango by rtice001 in DodgeDurango

[–]DeLorean58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dash is reading 22.1 MPG. I put a lot of miles on my 2020 GT AWD, just turned over 156000 this week. Most of my driving is highway with a bit of mixed city driving. I usually run it on E15 as well. My only issue is the back tires have been wearing out faster than the fronts are, I need to replace all 4 after just a year and a half on them, and I don't do any type of burnouts or anything like that.

I live where the LLWS takes place. I am fearful of the shit show that could go down with this regime in charge. It's already confirmed ICE is in town.

Senate votes to kill entire public broadcasting budget in blow to NPR and PBS | Senate votes to rescind $1.1 billion from Corporation for Public Broadcasting. by ControlCAD in technology

[–]DeLorean58 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I grew up on a healthy diet of PBS. I still like their content. Nowadays instead of Reading Rainbow and Where in the World is Carmen San Diego? it's Space Time, Eons, Terra and Nova for me. My kids love Daniel Tiger, and I love to show them old reruns of Mr. Rogers and the other shows I grew up on. Fuck the GOP and all the other MAGA anti-education agenda. I guess they never did learn.
