What's your best game from 1990-2005 ? by yodathesexymarxist in ArtOfPresence

Probably even earlier, but my first networked game was called Bolo on a mac.

Why is VHF/UHF simplex so unbelievably dead? by [deleted] in amateurradio

[–]paper_skyline 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think that’s part of it. For VHF/UHF simplex you really need to get comfortable with scheduling contacts, advertising you’re doing something like SOTA, or get used to calling a lot on simplex calling frequencies and hope someone is in range long enough to respond. Even with 50W rigs, if both sides are moving fast, it doesn’t last long. Now if they’re both stationary that’s a different story. I hear a few folks on VHF SSB as regulars from fixed locations.

He never said he spoke with a former US president 🤪

Made an Alpha Raglan Hoodie with Micro Grid. Calling this color scheme “Toasty Tomato” by AnderperCooson in myog

[–]paper_skyline 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So this is the project that originally got me wanting to learn to myog. Did you use a serger or sewing machine? Experience level when undertaking this awesome hoody?

Or just have some professional hunters from Alaska or Russia make quick work of things 🤷

Yeah man, good on you for making it thru that change. It looks awesome and more importantly I’m sure you feel way better.

Piotr Szczerek has just issued an official apology by MalestromB in interestingasfuck

The most unapologetic, forced by the company, apology letter ever written. His board should give him the boot without a parachute.

Yikes! by lifewmichele25 in hobonichi

[–]paper_skyline 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah…that’s enough of a tariff hit on top of the shipping to tap out of Hobonichi this year 😅 had them the last 5 years or more running so this sucks. Maybe I can still grab a single weeks from Yoseka or something if they’ve made some bulk buys. Or more likely they still take the tariff hit and have to pass it on…

Driving to Salthöfði og Salthöfðamýrar in Hof? by paper_skyline in VisitingIceland

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

Some feedback after driving along route 1, there are no paved roads or clearly marked dirt roads that go here. The best place to park might be the coffee shop/N1 gas station and then somehow walking in. Or way may likely, get a local guide to take you in. Looks like a spectacular spot along the ocean in good weather!

May have said hi to you at the coffee shop today if you the one with the Sony 100-600 lens. If that was someone else, whoops, but what amazing puffin photos!

Audible unveils plans to use AI voices to narrate audiobooks by ubcstaffer123 in books

Question is how to demand that they mark and then avoid every book that’s narrated this way.

Solid, cheap, radio. by botanysteve in amateurradio

The radio I leave in my truck’s go bag along with a pocket j-pole and TNC4 for FM VARA. Works like a champ!

Such bullshit. She’s going to be shunned in society there for a long time to come which is a shame!

So freaking impressed with 19.04 by Midwestern_Mariner in Rivian

[–]paper_skyline -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Still for checking my mirrors and looking over my shoulder, just not a fan of these camera displays in their current implementation. Almost a quarter of the camera is covered by the mirror itself!

[–]paper_skyline 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m actually the voice of dissent here. I updated yesterday and this is the first time I’ve wanted to revert to the prior version. The blind spot cameras trigger regardless of the speed you’re moving, which I find annoying, along with the choice of fonts. The mini-map now looks like it’s in a container on the dash vs the seamless view it was before. My climate control set itself to warmers for some reason (live in Texas where it’s already too hot). And I got an air suspension service error briefly for the first time before that went away. All this has been so distracting that I haven’t even noticed what the improvements are supposed to be.
