I haven't seen the term gleeking in decades. Growing up in the 80s it was a skill to be mastered.

It isn't just affecting education, unfortunately. There's a number of topics (e.g. human rights, equality, etc) that society has become more enlightened about and that they'd like to revert.

Interesting. Thanks for the explanation.

looks like the recipe is here

edit: or not. the image matches but, after actually paying attention to the recipe, I'm not sure that sounds right.

Morse code (a.k.a. continuous wave/CW) is really great for low power operating (QRP) and a signal can break through a lot more than voice (SSB) can. CW only radios can also be tiny and are valued by hams who enjoy portable operating and there are programs/events that promote just that. It can also be a lower cost way to get into a potentially expensive hobby. Also, it's just fun to copy the code sometimes.

I suspect they won't need to rationalize it, unfortunately. This will be justification for them to use their weapons.

Thanks for posting this. I wouldn't have gone looking for it and it was definitely worth watching.

The emotional roller-coaster in this game is definitely real.

Please be aware of local native plant populations when using this concept. In much of the US some species of willow and buckthorn are invasive, can out-compete native plants, and can result in a drastic reduction in local biodiversity. I recommend Doug Tallamy's books Bringing Nature Home and The Nature of Oaks for anyone interested in native plant info. The writing is targeted at the US, but they're easy reads and have a lot of good info.

If you're here to tell me energy drink body spray is a bad idea, I've heard it before, from a bank and some doctors.

This is what it sounds like to me, and Sim Ant is the game I had in mind opening this post. It was a good one.

^^^ This is the one I recognize. There's just so many times that I see a kind, well thought out, informative comment and it's got southsamurai's name above it
