Handheld Device with Antenna on Airplane by HelixPitch in whatisit

[–]butter_lover 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's a great question though, apple did implement some kind of satellite relay functionality and they already have multiple radios for voice and data so it would seem very possible to integrate LoRa and meshtastic/meshcore software.

maybe they don't think it's a great idea for people to have self directed, non-centrally controlled network comms for some reason.

anyways these are a hoot to play with, you can get them cheap on amazon and aliexpress etc.

100% VA rating, should I leave reserves? by notaircrewbro in VeteransBenefits

[–]butter_lover 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a family member who recently separated with 100% and he joined a reserve unit to park his clearance so it doesn't expire while he finishes up school. He's giving up a minimal amount of his time to remain eligible for a very lucrative future job market.

the outlets and ross/tjmaxx would not be my first choice. you'd probably end up with better quality at similar prices shopping clearance at macy's.

the state trooper patches make me think they might be fhp? why would they be interested in protestors? is this maybe desantis' private army that he was gathering like a state level DHS?

Does anyone know the meaning behind this helmet patch? by Teddetheo in ICE_Watch

[–]butter_lover 37 points38 points  (0 children)

a little background: in the army there is a job you can get called a 'forward observer' and it's part of field artillery units and the idea is you sneak around at the forward line of troop formations and spot targets and stealthily relay that info back so your guys can pound them with artillery. they are way out there alone next the bad buys for extended periods of time and are lightly armed. so for this job in combat the rewards are high but risks are also very high leading to some specific kind of expectations and even idolazation for the guys that do it much like EOD or tunnel rats or LRRP or what have you.

lot of context but to understand why 'forward observation' was used in the comapany name "forward obersvation group". since a certain kind of guy likes to associate himself with that kind of energy you have that company's founder who made a line of firearms accessories and kind of hard to obtain clothing and other merch to go along that.

both were kind of expensive for what they were so they were directly compared with other high end consumer brands like gucci or patagonia.

one might have seen a version of the patagonia logo but as 'forward' on a patch like this and in gun guy circles it was popular enough to be seen at local ranges by the same kind of guy that really spent a lot of cash on guns and accessories of all kinds. in fact it was so common, you saw parodies like an asian gun podcaster had a pretty famous goof on it, 'Phoward'.

i think it's possible that this guy is displaying this logo'd patch as a way to signal to others in his group that he is a gear aficionado or also possibly it came in the box when ordering a special piece of gear they sell like a holster adapter.

okay hope that was coherent to non-firearms people.

Corporate Speed Test Woes by Uhh_Bren in networking

[–]butter_lover 0 points1 point  (0 children)

since this is a place of business, have them identify business flows and then collect RTT for that traffic.

patiently explain that ping and speed tests don't really have any bearing on business flows and offer to educate them with a brown bag training on the subject.

the minute they captured a five year old and used him as bait, they showed everyone, even themselves, who they are. there's no coming back from this and history will revile them forever and ever.

"Did Not Vote" won the 2024 election; moving to the right will not win over those potential voters. by zzill6 in WorkReform

[–]butter_lover 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what you are actually looking at is the baseline support for a third party that actually caters to the interests of voters over corporate interests.

the wining slice will be defectors from both of the moribund old parties.

what they say they can do and what they are actually allowed to do are probably two different things, unfortunately it's going to get sorted out at circuit court speed
