@int0x80 @mikalkhill It's a bronze Twinkie in the men's room across the hall way from KCPR.. Ok, no it isn't. BUT IT SHOULD BE

@smittyhalibut @mikalkhill I would try to tell the entire world, especially you ❤️❤️❤️ Very cool about Weird Al; please tell me there is a monument somewhere in commemoration.

@int0x80 @mikalkhill WAIT, WHAT? You "Opened In San Luis Obispo?!" When the fuck were you in my town and I MISSED IT?!

@int0x80 @mikalkhill Ha! Fair enough. If you DO ever make it here, you fucking tell me, right?? ;-) True Story: Weird Al Yankovich got his start here. That "College Station" he was at was KCPR at Cal Poly. youtube.com/watch?v=BGi5EU…

@smittyhalibut @mikalkhill Fact check: This lyric was reported as misleading 😅 The good news is you didn't miss us. It was a city that rhymed and was plausibly near SF, fitting the narrative of our live show reckless abandon.

@DrDiniel @FIAWEC Not just me then. Trying the app too, no luck.

@tldrjack it was great having @tldrjack and @tldrjack on the show. But for those of us who listen more than watch, it would be better if your guests didn’t do such a convincing impersonation of your voice. Next time you have them on, please ask them to use their own voices. Thx!

@k8mrd @VE6LK @Hoshnasi @HamWorkbench Achievement Unlocked

@VE6LK @Hoshnasi @HamWorkbench #goals

That moment when @Hoshnasi and @k8mrd realize they have exceeded even the longest of @HamWorkbench in terms of length 🤣 They went a wee bit over 9 hours! youtube.com/watch?v=RabkTp…

@UGEplex Shadowland dot social is there.

The Mastodon instance I would have liked to join is shutting down. *sigh* ...keeps looking.

@njcw @QRPerDotCom @itsDanielSuarez They really are a single story split into two books. Freedom is, IMHO, the more important of the two.

@QRPerDotCom @itsDanielSuarez @smittyhalibut Daemon is a great book. Make sure you read the sequel Freedom too - that is equally great!

@QRPerDotCom @itsDanielSuarez I take both. ;-)

@StarWarsExplain @MollieDamon Most recent video made it sound like you’re looking for a twitter alternative. I highly recommend you checkout Mastodon. It’s got a really great community. If you have any questions, let me know.

Periodic reminder: If we aren’t already following each other on mastodon, please reach out to me. @smitty@halibut.com @smitty" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">mastodon.halibut.com/@smitty I really want to stop using twitter entirely.

This time the master enabler, @QRPerDotCom joins us to share his ideas for holiday gift-giving. Listen along or watch "as the sausage is made" youtube.com/watch?v=kiOxyZ… along with @kj6vu @smittyhalibut @mike_mw1 @va3on and I yuk it up in this episode

Your annual reminder that the turkeys the president pardoned can still be prosecuted for state charges.

@whatsupwithsix @VE6LK @ggthomps This is the graph I wish I had at hand when recording that. It shows what posts are in each time line.

@smittyhalibut @VE6LK @ggthomps Sounds like the federated timeline is most akin to echolink?

My Mastodon account has moved to VE6LK@Mastodon.hams.social

@whatsupwithsix @VE6LK @ggthomps Not far off.

@VE6LK @ggthomps @smittyhalibut Reminds me of FidoNet with Echolink interconnecting our servers. :)

@KB1LQC I only ever come over here looking for new “I’ve moved to Mastadon. Here’s my link” posts.

@RussMakesStuff Where are you on mastodon? I’m @smitty" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">mastodon.halibut.com/@smitty

@DxMonger @VE6LK Totally up to you. Go where your community is, that’s the most important deciding factor. There is a vibrant ham radio community forming on mastodon, and it’s growing every day. But until your particular circle moves somewhere, you’re right that it makes sense to stay.

@VE6LK @smittyhalibut From what I've heard so far, I don't see any reason to go to the effort to leave Twitter for Mastodon. If all the hams abandon Twitter, Discord, Facebook, etc. I'll consider it. I really don't need "one more thing".

Confusticated between Twitter and Mastodon? No need to be once you hear the similarities and differences from @smittyhalibut on YT youtube.com/watch?v=feoYLR…

@beefyness Where is that?

new verse, same as the first
