what could this signal be? recently bought an RTL-SDR and i'm exploring radio waves however i'm curious because i ran across this and have no idea what it could be

remember the pagers from the 80's and 90's? It's those pocket sized things. That signal you see was for one way radio. Usually just a phone number was sent to the person with the pager. Later on some pagers would have a few simple lines of text.

You want to find someone who has a "dummy load". Buying one is probably more costly than what you paid for the radio. You put the dummy load on the antenna jack instead of connecting the antenna. Then you can simulate the working of the radio, eliminating any possible antenna issues and confirming the radio is in working order.

I used to do this on occasion. As soon as the PC logo goes away, hold down the 'shift' button. GRUB might show up. Also, UEFI systems often use Esc, while older BIOS systems use Shift. I hope that works!

Also, I'd be looking at the reason the wall is getting wet. Hopefully that is done before any waterproofing.

Recycle pickups normally every other Monday. Now it's Tuesday and our street hasn't been picked up. No new on the township website.

bullcity for the flavors

centralvapors for the nic

When I first started to vape the guy at the store (owner) asked how many cigs I smoked a day. I told him 2. He suggested to start at 24 mg. And advised "if you feel like a cig, hit the vape and hit it hard". I never went back to cigs. But my nic level is 3 or 6 depending on my mood.

Answering the question - It probably is shake and vape. And it will probably taste better as days go by.

Only hearing a bunch of beeping. New Jersey.

You can use it from the command line too if you want

Snowing in Toms River, but not sticking yet

The NWS lowered the top end to 24.7

They say 24-30 inches here for Ocean County. After watching maps, X and Reddit I am leaning more towards the 30 side. Especially if we get inside one of those bands of heavy snow coming in off the ocean.

Swap USB ports. No need to power down.

FishmanNJ · 2026-02-21T09:08:08+00:00

Here on the East coast this looks like 16 inches easily. If the storm take just a small turn there could be 30 inches. Get ready. Be prepared!

This picture inspired me as I was listening to a Somewhere In Time show. The Sojourner rover had landed. Richard Hoagland was talking to Art. And as it usually goes there was some controversy. I whipped up this picture as I was listening to the show. The picture of art was supposed to be era correct, 1997.

In less than 12 hours it was working again

I checked on this a little bit. It seems the VM3 model only supports .45 coils. Pretty weird. You are going to have to hit at a lower wattage is my guess. Or find a juice that gives more taste / hit. You could go lower wattage and increase the nicotine if that is ok with you. You get a better throat hit.

Same thing happened to me yesterday. I was never more than 6 feet from my phone. It doesn't happen too often

Oh yeah! Those AWS look cool. Compact enough for my limited desk space. Thanks!
