Someone tried running that in one of the campus computer labs when I was a student, and the (probably misconfigured) IPX routers amplified it into... a campus-wide outage. Seems we…

I believe my situation was similar to GP's: family on the lower end of middle class, and enough younger siblings to make it a stretch. I was accepted to a reasonably prestigious un…

The post title says "Asking about firearm safety" but the article says that they are _telling_ about safety, after asking about access: > In the study, researchers introduced stand…

The only maxillomandibular advancement with which I'm familiar is a surgical procedure, rather than an exercise therapy. It involves repositioning both the mandible and your upper …

I grew up in a 1300sf wood heated house, so I have relevant experience here. It does take time to buck, split, load, unload, and stack the wood. It goes faster if you have a small …

WT's process for living persons attempts to head this off. It's not perfect, but I think it's a pretty good method. When you enter data about a living person, you are required to i…

I agree that familysearch.org is a goldmine for primary sources, I'm very grateful for their digitization initiatives. I'm also glad that there are multiple non-dark-patterned opti…

I recently started doing some genealogy work for my family, and I was not excited at the prospect of using most of the paid family tree sites -- dark patterns, etc. I recently ran …

I don't know -- we rented a car for 5 adults + luggage in FR a few years ago, and we wound up with a Citroen C3 Aircross[1]. "This is the biggest one we have" was the only answer w…

I did something similar last month; I took my FT-817 with me to scout camp. I wanted to work some FT8 but didn't bring the required doodads with me to hook the radio's audio interf…

Earlier this year my roku-enabled TV started showing some new Terms Of Service, and it wouldn't let me watch anything unless I agreed to them. ...or unplugged it from the network. …

POTA seems to be pretty active -- I managed to make a couple of voice contacts a few weeks ago on a 5W rig, so voice work isn't out of the question.

For the n-dimensional part there's xcubes: https://www.xcubes.net/

I am a lifelong Arkansan, and I hope he is able to pull off some kind of win. I visited that area often as a teen, and Pine Bluff was the main entertainment destination for the reg…

While Pine Bluff is one of the fastest a shrinking cities in the country, the northwest corner of AR is one of the fastest-growing metro areas. A fascinating example of the somewha…
