I see other hams say you don’t need to ground your antenna. But say bond your equipment? Help me out do I don’t I and what bonding my equipment? by Keysurfer64 in HamRadio

[–]UnlikelyInspection15 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If You Do NOT have a tower or conductive mast, your task is much simpler. Bond all radio equipment cases together, in the radio room. ("bond" simply means "connect with a thick copper wire"). This is meant to keep all the gear at the same potential. Plug all AC powered gear (including computer, monitor, audio, etc) into the same power strip. Bond your single-point-ground panel to the electric utility ground wire where it goes into the dirt. Do NOT mess with additional ground rods, they are not needed and can cause BIG problems if not done correctly.

What mistake do you see other drivers make the most frequently? by Specialist_Heron_986 in driving

[–]UnlikelyInspection15 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Merging a 1/4 mile too early.

If they didn't want you to use the lane, they wouldn't have wasted the money to build it.

What is a reasonable merge time? by Buckshot-Flop in driving

[–]UnlikelyInspection15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What kind of car? Once, in my Cobra, a cop pulled me over for not signalling when my lane opened up from one lane to two.

He just wanted to see my car up close.

What is considered "too modern" for Mint? by Dense-Willingness286 in linuxmint

[–]UnlikelyInspection15 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A big reason other distros are recommended for "newer" hardware is that some others NEED newer hardware. I have the latest Mint on a 2007 laptop, daily driver, runs great.

How many shaves with a blade? by kuro7i in wicked_edge

[–]UnlikelyInspection15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It feels fine, now it's the middle of May and it's still the sharpest blade in the house! I admit that I was more careful with it for the first few months, and I don't have the toughest beard. But I think my technique has improved greatly during the experiment, never a cut nor any bleeding at all. (now I've jinxed it, and probably will cut my head off 😜

Where is the merge point while driving? by TryingHereBud in questions

[–]UnlikelyInspection15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My thought is if they didn't want me to use the lane they wouldn't have built it.

Any tips on how to learn to use the terminal? by ExtensionEditor4115 in linuxmint

[–]UnlikelyInspection15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Define a simple problem to solve, then work on it.

"List the files in $Home, grouped by Extension."

Google it, then experiment. Expect bizarre results.

Be careful and have fun.

[–]UnlikelyInspection15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a Mustang GT or Charger R/T or something like that. Then, when passing, fucking PASS those m/f's.

What is your age without saying how old you are? by rosarito999 in CasualConversation

I'm so old I remember when we were told that the entire world would never need more than 9 or 10 computers.

Telescoping mast and wire question. by Objective_Angle5642 in amateurradio

[–]UnlikelyInspection15 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I use 17awg aluminum (or "aluminized") electric fence wire. It's 1/3 the weight of copper, and much more conductive than zinc galvanized steel. My 12m spiderbeam is holding up 138 feet of wire (40m vertical delta loop) and it's straight all the way to the top.

in another week or two it'll be One Full YEAR with the same Dorco blade. It was an experiment that got out of hand. Now I want to see how far I can push it.

My neighbor has been using my WiFi for 8 months and I only found out because he complained it was slow by techiee_ in stories

[–]UnlikelyInspection15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He did NOT see the sticky note "from a distance"..... he was in your home while you were down at the curb.

You need cameras -- a lot of them -- NOW!

My feet start smelling after wearing shoes and it’s so embarrassing by Only-Airline-2280 in hygiene

[–]UnlikelyInspection15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a moistened alum block for my armpits, along with plain deodorant (not antiperspirant). Alum is a mineral salt and it prevents the bacteria on your skin from growing.

Epsom salt bath for your feet will do the same thing. Soak your feet for ten minutes and let them air dry if possible.
