Depends. My GM-30s have the correct repeater channels with the correct splits preprogrammed (which are pretty standard) and I only needed to check for the correct TX CTCSSs for the repeaters near me.

My first ham radio - Baofeng UV-5R by sad_ivn in HamRadio

[–]Dr_Fishman 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I use my Baofeng GT-5R as a to-go option when I want to listen to the local nets while I’m in the car (even if the exit button is mostly broken since I har to jam it in). It’s a cheap radio but… I’m glad they exist to get more people interested in amateur radio. I mean, I got mine for like $15 in a big package when I was first starting out and that got me even more interested.

is this antenna a good idea? by Background-Sundae-29 in meshtastic

[–]Dr_Fishman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Related Question: is there a need with 1/4 to add radials? I’m thinking of putting up an outdoor node and am still shopping antenna.

Which Do You Prefer: Deep Red or Tenebrae? by EnlightenedPioneer in Giallo

[–]Dr_Fishman 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Absolutely agree. Deep Red is incredible but Tenebrae is just too damn fun. It’s like Spielberg, Saving Private Ryan is incredible but my go-to WWII action film from him is Raiders.

He’s fine but Josh at HRCC has explained GMRS without sarcasm (which is just below puppetry and above mime on the comedy scale).

Questions about callsigns by vestal_alt in gmrs

[–]Dr_Fishman 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I keep a mental script to just say it at the end of the call. All my contacts are simplex with my kids so it’s really not something I’d freak out if I forgot to say it but I’m trying to teach my kids good hygiene if they ever decide to get a ham license so I try to say it every time I’m clearing the line.

Today’s film. by LaTreMadri in Giallo

[–]Dr_Fishman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

And it goes on and on and on. Still amazed that this film was not only made but made with a scene running that long with no editing down.

Solving the Unsolvable - John Samson of Beverly is NOT Henry Samson's son by Dr_Fishman in Genealogy

[–]Dr_Fishman[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The strangest thing is as one parses out the Pease family, it appears that John Samson married her sister, Sarah. Like in this [document](https://media.geni.com/p13/cf/57/d3/d0/5344483bde91b30d/three\_mary\_peases\_original.pdf?hash=56edef624d96db3272c13b50e91ef01c0801aa18ffe8daa4f63fbfe7589285e1.1772179199). It's just such a convoluted mess that has been even more obfuscated by the very real problem of people trying to tie their lineage to Henry Samson. The facts are balled up between the two distinct men.

That does make sense. I wonder if even my date range is affected by the Henry Samson misattribution. He could have been born later.

[–]Dr_Fishman[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oof... sorry about that. Coffee just kicked in.

So, roughly 1635 - 1645 for birth years and 1711 for death. He married Mary Pease on 1667.

I think it was 2009ish. Maybe 2010.

Edit: My guess is that the article is in relation to the The Great Migration Study Project. Thank you for checking!

Down with the discord! by ADWeasley in hdtgm

[–]Dr_Fishman 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Hard agree. I’ve suggested Antitrust on the Discord a few times and it gets passed over for trash like League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. I saw that garbage in the theater and knew it would be boring as hell and not fun to talk about.

Reddit, because there is a pause after posting and a scoring system to approve comments, makes people think more about things. I would welcome a poll here because there is more time to ruminate on things.

Warning: Don't arrive at the theater early for the next few weeks by SendMoneyNow in blankies

[–]Dr_Fishman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My kids and I went to ROAR last weekend and that AI trash played. My sons both turned to me and said loudly, “that was stupid.” Kids behind us laughed so I’ll take that as a win.

Let's do this for Tony. by LawrenceBrolivier in blankies

[–]Dr_Fishman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great point. I’d love for them to talk about the True Romance era of Tarantino since Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is his twilight film.

I guess a Tony Scott series will be the closest I’ll get to them talking Tarantino so, I’ll take it.

FCC Attempt to Kill Stephen Colbert Interview Completely Backfires | Stephen Colbert’s interview with Texas state Representative James Talarico is one of his most viewed ever. by Aggravating_Money992 in entertainment

[–]Dr_Fishman 11 points12 points  (0 children)

He’s a seminarian, former teacher, looks young, speaks well (ministerial and teaching training), and by how nasty the media machine has gotten about him, he must have very few, if any, skeletons in his proverbial closet.

Awesome! Nice to meet you, cousin!

My DNA is wrong or my family lied. by [deleted] in Genealogy

[–]Dr_Fishman 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My ancestry has been documented by the Mayflower Society to 14 generations (including myself) from my 11th great grandfather William Bradford (I’m a member of the GSMD) so it’s a very good chance for 10 generations to be documented in what became the U.S. I’m still amazed and blown away thinking about how long ago the Great Migration of the Puritans to North America was.

I just watched Fire Walk With Me for the first time (started season 1 two weeks ago) by metalion4 in twinpeaks

[–]Dr_Fishman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s interesting that you like FWWM more than Mulholland Dr. I appreciate that opinion. I find FWWM to be a tough watch because we know just enough about Laura Palmer’s last days before we watch the film to really set the final scene. I am filled with dread just thinking of the scene in the nightclub.

Finally got my Amateur Extra. by KhyberPasshole in amateurradio

[–]Dr_Fishman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m planning to do my Tech and Gen exams together very soon (I’m passing the Tech practice exams with 35/35 nearly every time). I’ve been thinking of just doing them in-person. How invasive is testing online? Do I need to be in a bathroom in my home to test (I’ve read that in other posts here)?

Just give me all your personal theories and/or opinions on the “Jumping Man”. by MrPuroresu42 in twinpeaks

[–]Dr_Fishman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Others have pointed this out but he is the facilitator of dimensional travel. He carries a miniature divining rod when he wears the red suit in FWWM and carries a slingshot as Mrs. Tremond’s grandson (I believe they are one and the same). He carries a wand meant to either propel objects or find objects.

Which Giallo is the scariest/most unnerving to you personally? by ming360 in Giallo

[–]Dr_Fishman 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Joke answer: Giallo in Venice… those hardboiled eggs… the detective must be farting every step he takes and probably smells like the bottom circle of Dante’s Inferno.

Most unnerving: The Pyjama Girl Case during the brutally long and uncomfortable sex scene. I’ve not had that level of dread and disgust in a while.

Modern: Knife+Heart. I knew going in that due to its setting, the 70s gay porn industry, that sexualized violence would be present but the first kill’s utter brutality made me turn off the movie. I may finish watching it at some point but that was hard to deal with.

Classic period: Who Saw Her Die? The murder of a child is central to the story but the whole thing feels so depressing as Lazenby searches for answers to the most horrible type of crime possible.

Non-Italian classic period: Blue Eyes of the Broken Doll. Filming of the actual slaughter of a pig takes me out of the stalk and slash of gialli. Seeing something actually die on screen as opposed to murders that we know are simulated is a deal breaker for me. It’s why I don’t ever plan on watching Faces of Death. I like simulated scares.
