@yacineMTB if you attach your call sign to your radar you can use it as a scatter beacon

pic related. also no one will stop you but if you are pushing enough wattage to piss the FCC off you are pushing enough wattage to fry your own balls. i'd be much more worried about the latter

Oh heck yes, SPLINTER CITADEL IS BACK BABY

@valorhelm huh that's right next to where I work

They do still make wooden playgrounds Look what I found north of Austin. It isn't open yet.

@josefprusa will prices be lowered in the US now with lower tariffs?

1/ The reality is that the market as we knew it is gone. We are now competing against aggressive tax subsidies, direct grants, and massive unfair practices. The playing field is no longer level. Then there is the IP flood. Innovations from the 3D printing community are increasingly being met with deliberate patent trolling and the exploitation of an outdated IP system.

Since it's Friday, I'd like to share some thoughts. Ideal for a weekend meditation or a (friendly) discussion. I just got back from my keynote in New York at Additive Manufacturing Strategies, and we need to talk about how we've taken our foot off the gas when it comes to Western innovation. It was something we used to take pride in. But for years, everyone got obsessed with a race to the bottom on price without looking at the actual cost. 🧵👇

Children and guns are simply a bad idea. Your average firearm is too unwieldy for a typical child to operate in a safe and effective manner. Children are much better suited for crew-served weapons. The semi-stationary characteristic of a mortar or heavy machine gun relies less on a child's physical strength and stamina, instead requiring problem-solving and teamwork to achieve fire superiority. weaponoutfitters.com/weapon-tikes-l… weaponoutfitters.com/urban-assault-…

@jeoc42 @Devon_Eriksen_ @acrobatichobbit oh I saw someone do that a year or two ago

@Devon_Eriksen_ @acrobatichobbit Gold so abundant we can use it for bullets.

He doesn't actually have all that much money. Compared to you or I, yeah, sure, but not compared to what you'd expect. What he has is ownership of some companies that some people think are insanely valuable. His near-trillionaire status is based entirely on what those people think those companies are worth. Middle-class, working-class, professional-class people like me — and probably you, too, because only a handful of my followers are billionaires — don't usually understand what a billionaire is. We tend to think of wealth as a measure of what you can afford to buy... this many dollars, you can have this and this, but not that. Because that's what we do with money. We earn it because we need it to live, we spend it on the things we need. Break even and you're okay for today. Get a little bit ahead and you're safe. Get a little further ahead and you can have some fun, press the hedonic lever a few times, snort some better quality cocaine off a prettier whore's tits. And that's what Bernie Sanders wants you to think a billionaire is. A guy who's got a billion dollars stashed away for hookers and blow. But that's not how it works. A billionaire's wealth isn't a bank account or even a stock portfolio. It's a valuation. An estimate. It doesn't even mean that he could sell Tesla and SpaceX and Starlink and whatnot for 800-someodd billion, either. Because 8?? billion is what all these things are worth based on the assumption that Elon Musk will continue running them. Were he to decide to sell, suddenly that confidence, and those estimates, and that selling price, would go way down, fast. So all those billions are less of reality and more like a description of what's going on, and how important we think it is. What's going on is that he's obsessed with space tech, he's leading some efforts to develop it, they're working so far, and people think that's important. And he's so obsessed with them that his house isn't the Chateau des Reves, it's just a box for him to sleep in, because that's all he does there. Some people like Bernie Sanders, see this high valuation as an opportunity to steal. I see it as a planetwide consensus that something important is going on here, and we shouldn't jostle the table or make loud noises.

@Devon_Eriksen_ @acrobatichobbit while true I'm still not sure about putting my bets on any current company that exists rn

@acrobatichobbit The end game is asteroid mining. Very few people fully grasp how important that is.

@BalconesRoofing how long until you get 110 mph wind to blow it off

Tomorrow's hail outlook for the state looks pretty gnarly. Austin & San Antonio could be prime targets for large to very large hail if this threat creeps further to the southeast. Don't forget to bring your roofs inside! 😇
