I know how spoiled that sounds, but thatâs a real consideration for a company that wants their product to overthrow the old browsers. Of course, thatâs also on Apple for setting up roadblocks to their core features.

Seriously, these dumbasses are shaving their eyelashes, refusing to wipe their asses, afraid of crossing their legs or using straws in public, and weâre all âhow have we failed young white men?â We failed them by not demanding they grow the fuck up.
Grow the fuck up and wipe your ass, Chad.

I've read that you can occasionally find him on the air, and now I wonder if I just caught Mix-A-Lot drifting in from the PNW. #cbradio

This expands on my skeets from earlier. From Oklahoma tornado sirens to KC scanner traffic, I've gone from watching and worrying to wondering what it would be like to participate. I'm ready to be a radio dork. I've been practicing my callsign in the car. đ»âĄ #AmateurRadio #SKYWARN #WeatherNet #KC

I'm hearing W0TE, K0ECS, KC0SKY, KB0VBN, and one I can't remember the call in Blue Springs, MO. You can look for broadcastify streams and see if they're out there. #hamradio #wxspotters

Let me take a look at the exact callsigns and I'll let you know.

Oh yeah. At one point I think I was listening to 4 different repeaters full of spotters.

I can't take credit for the LARP joke. I read it earlier today on a reddit post:

But I'm looking at the Skywarn training available online through U of Ark.
These guys sound like dorks. But I'm listening to them. Regularly. I'm a dork for listening. I might as well come into the circle and see what everything's all about. It might be everything I imagined as a kid. #hamradio

Having grown up in rural Oklahoma, I had always dreamed of being a storm spotter, even though I used to get physically sick when a tornado warning came on TV.
I still am interested in the "seedier" side of radio... CB, pirate, and drunk rants floating through the atmosphere.

And, to be fair, there are some folks totally LARPing first responders* on there. But when the emergency weather net is in action and the storm spotters are zooming around the city giving wind readings and hail measurements, it doesn't sound as dorky.

The net controller doesn't need to hear more than a mumbled callsign to know who is giving a report. They've also learned through the dorky check-ins where people are from, so that doesn't need to be said, either.
If you listen in from the outside, the weekly check-in (practice) sounds so dumb.

My favorite quote from the chat:
âDonât confuse knowledge for wisdom, and donât outsource your humanity to me.
I would ask people to use me boldlyâbut not blindly. Let me help you draft, debug, brainstorm, exploreâbut donât let me replace the sacred mess of figuring things out together..."

Nice. Iâm a Technician (KF0NUI), and am drawn to the seedier sides of the airwaves.

Please, pass this on to interested folks. Word of mouth is the only way I can think of to get to the people I want to hear from.

Documenting this incredible technical culture before it fades away. Not about regulationsâjust giving credit where it's due for the engineering and performance art happening at 27.025 MHz. #CBRadio #Channel6 #ARRL #SDR

Oh, man. The struggle is real. Except I lived only 2 miles out of town. Still too far to get cable. But grandparents had it, and I spent a lot of weekends staying at their house just to watch HBO and Nickelodeon.

âRemember that facts still matter. Every individual who speaks out, every person who calls a lie a lie, demonstrates fealty to the truth. Do not assume that your voice does not matter. It does. You also choose truth by what you read and how you choose to spend your time.â
