Interesting. Thanks for sharing.

Whatever it is, it's bad enough that they didn't want Stallman to see it.

This was at 69 upvotes and I almost didn't add to them. Too perfect.

Definitely only the best most benevolent Corp ever. https://analognowhere.com/wiki/matacorp/

 

This climbing aloe has been in its pot for a couple of years. It lives inside during the cooler months and outside in the sun during the warm ones. It had a trellis until today when I removed it due to the plant not really climbing the trellis.

I'm thinking a couple things to improve the situation here:

  1. Repot it into something broader but not as deep, unless the roots are that deep.
  2. Perhaps a bit better drainage.
  3. A trellis that's closer to the plants height, can handle the weight, and isn't 6 feet tall.

What's your rating? Thoughts on how to improve this situation?

That'll do it :nods:

I like how the days go in reverse on this series of posts. Down to -4 now.

Indeed. Unfortunately those fancy features aren't available on vhf/uhf with this radio. Only the hf bands have those options.

Less than 5 miles. Their signal strength is s9+60 or so. Definitely strong.

 

Listening to a local repeater and the waterfall display shows some pretty wide modulation whenever the repeater is in use. If I'm showing +/- 50kHz on the scope then the repeater's bandwidth is frequently 20+ even 60+ kHz.

Given that FM voice bandwidth is typically less than 15 kHz, this would indicate a failure somewhere on the repeater tx side of things right?

This is pretty cool

 

Picture taken straight from my account at TreasuryDirect. I know that i-bond interest rates reset every 6 months but it looks like bonds issued in April and October get special treatment? Seeing this, I'm not sure why I wouldn't just make two purchases a year, only in April and October, and reap almost double the gains? I feel like I'm missing something obvious here.
