This. A thousands times this. Should be modded to positive infinity.

grow a pair! you think caving in and helping your daugher rot her brain with stupid tv is a GOOD thing?

parents. taking the easy way out, because.....reasons!

so far, the overwhelming feedback I'm reading is 'aww, poor babies. they don't like a taste of their own medicine'.

as they say down south, "well, bless their hearts!"

(and I mean that. very truly and deeply.)

8-10% of France's electricity comes from Fossil fuel. They can easily kill these off with AE, combined with Nukes. In addition, by pushing for EVs, they can quit importing oil, since they are one of Europe's largest oil importers.

not everybody thinks that Americans are assholes. Just idiotic cowards like you.

the meme of Germany importing comes from the far right in America.
You will find that their emails are constantly full of lies.

hard to tally it up, when the means keep being shifted.
For example, they were supposed to use up nearly all of the nuclear 'waste', but was then stopped from breeding.
Then the far left fights against burying the 'waste' over at Yucca Mntn.
The smart thing is for us to push Gen IV reactors to burn it up, but we need to make it so that once a site is approved, then the protests and BS stop.

Yes, I fully understand that the CURRENT approach to wireless is horrible.
It does not mean that in the future a new, and better way will not be found.

In addition, wireless like I suggest here, would make a huge difference and be of great value.

How do you get shell access on your average Mac without physical access? SSH isn't enabled by default as has been pointed out. In fact, it's been a real PITA to get the versions of OS X I've configured to play nice on the network for the command line. I doubt one user in a thousand has done it -- slashdot mac users not being significantly representative of the average mac users, of course. My macs have SSH available, but the port isn't open to the Intertubes outside of my LAN, so it doesn't concern me very much.

So this essentially resolves to a "you have to be there" exploit.

Exactly so.

Clearly, that's not what I said.

Random data point == random data point

not

Random data point == confirmation of "there's no problem" stance

Try for comprehension next time. You'd be amazed what you can learn if you actually, you know, understand what you read.

Oh, wait, you didn't need to pass a test for that.

I'm just trying to think how that would have been possible. I think back then there was a medical exception you could plead for. I didn't. I passed the 20 WPM test fair and square and got K6BP as a vanity call, long before there was any way to get that call without passing a 20 WPM test.

Unfortunately, ARRL did fight to keep those code speeds in place, and to keep code requirements, for the last several decades that I know of and probably continuously since 1936. Of course there was all of the regulation around incentive licensing, where code speeds were given a primary role. Just a few years ago, they sent Rod Stafford to the final IARU meeting on the code issue with one mission: preventing an international vote for removal of S25.5 . They lost.

I am not blaming this on ARRL staff and officers. Many of them have privately told me of their support, including some directors and their First VP, now SK. It's the membership that has been the problem.

I am having a lot of trouble believing the government agency and NGO thing, as well. I talked with some corporate emergency managers as part of my opposition to the encryption proceeding (we won that too, by the way, and I dragged an unwilling ARRL, who had said they would not comment, into the fight). Big hospitals, etc.

What I got from the corporate folks was that their management was resistant to using Radio Amateurs regardless of what the law was. Not that they were chomping at the bit waiting to be able to carry HIPAA-protected emergency information via encrypted Amateur radio. Indeed, if you read the encryption proceeding, public agencies and corporations hardly commented at all. That point was made very clearly in FCC's statement - the agencies that were theorized by Amateurs to want encryption didn't show any interest in the proceeding.

So, I am having trouble believing that the federal agency and NGO thing is real because of that.

Bees are all over the place at my home (basically at the center of a small town in rural Montana.) We have quite a few planters full of flowers on our largish deck (about 1000' sq), and it is not uncommon to go out there and see a very large number of bees going about their business. They are nearly zero threat. Well, unless you sit on one. :) We try not to do that.

There are no obvious hives anywhere nearby, and they seem to come and go from all points of the compass.

Sortof-kinda related, there are local honey merchants, and the honey is just lovely.

Eos energy is a flow battery ( they have nothing to do with eestor ). In addition, multiple utilities are now testing the batteries.

What's so damned special about relationships? If it's about equality, then tell me, why does a childless married couple pay less in tax than a widow with a child who earns the same as the couple? I'd say the widow's relationship to the child matters to society, the couple's relationship doesn't matter to anyone but them.

Why is it legal to discriminate on the basis of marriage?

Why does any government in a secular country have anything at all to do with marriage?
