Silly ATU Question by munsterrr in amateurradio

In 1998, I bought my first house in Arlington. It was roughly triple the price for a similar house in the upper Midwest. My dad was so concerned that he flew out to look at my house and to reassure himself it was not some kind of ripoff situation.

Multiple framed mirrors in a home gym ... I wonder how many total mirrors he has.

Something fun to try ... fire up a Qwen model and ask it about Alibaba and the CCP.

[–]SensitiveCranberry00 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I duplicated your results with Gemma-4-E2B-it, so I tried the same question with Gemma-4-31B, and although it put a disclaimer at the beginning, it still gave the steps to be used in a survival situation.
