That's what happened to me. Used one for the first time at a hotel — bought one not long after and will never go back. Got like a $30 one and am still using it over 4 years later. I'll probably upgrade when I have the extra money, realizing just now how long it's been since I got it

That's freaking cool, I never knew that. Appreciate the link

Check out "slow scan tv" if you haven't already. I have my amateur license and was surprised to learn all of the ways in which radio waves can be utilized

Just don't underestimate them... I hear they "kick like a mule" and "bite like a crocodile"

Shit, a standard thread feels natural to me, but a left hand thread still fucks my life up sometimes — trying to notice what's going on before I strip it.

My grill can connect to those camping propane tanks, but it's threaded opposite... gets me every time

Clockwise and counterclockwise may be more intuitive for some people. Is the clock-hand (wrench) going forward in time, or backwards. But I don't know of any quick rhyme for that

I can carry 3 full pint glasses in one hand and 2 in the other. If they're empty, I can carry 4 in one hand and 3 in the other. It comes in handy more than I would expect

Damn, I forgot about Smash TV. Idk how much time my friend and I spent on that game as kids

Ehh, depends on the concentration of salt and if you've been sweating a whole lot... and I mean working outside in the heat sweating, not a 30-minute cardio. But unless you have low (or lose) sodium and/or chloride, than it will probably dehydrate you

I've been rained on while already mowing (gas mower), and went ahead and finished the last bit. But I'd rather the grass be dry-ish when mowing, because it bogs the engine down when the grass is too wet. I use a push mower though, and wet grass definitely makes the job a bit harder — probably not great for wear-and-tear on the engine as well

I believe a trebuchet may be the way

Sure can. You can also download weather images from overhead-passing NOAA Satellites. There's actually a lot of cool stuff you can do with radio, in general

I will now being looking for it every time I re-watch an episode

I've seen his Spacy Navy docuseries before, a few times, a bunch (which was badass already), but I had no idea he was in D-day, taking out snipers and getting shot like it was out of some "Saving Private Ryan" shit... and he was a skilled pilot‽ Blew my mind today

The urge to fact-check this is so strong, even though I know it to be inherently false. I want to believe

Holy. Shit... this is going to take a sec to sink in. I'm in awe of what I have learned here today. Thank you

My dad did that one year lol. Refused to change his clocks or personal routine. Dunno if he was able to stick with it or not — but it was funny to hear him talk so seriously about why he "refuses to abide by such an arbitrary concept that makes his life harder, by having to adjust his body's schedule"

His face had such a straight up "nope, fuck all that" look about it, it cracked me up lmao

That was borderline orgasmic. I hadn't heard that intro in a very long time

You mean "ancient plagues". It's scarier that way, because of the 'implications'

I thought Chrome was planning to oust ad blockers in 2024. Idk if that's true though, maybe I'm mis-remembering.

I've kinda stuck with Firefox for many years now because I never saw any reason not too. I honestly hardly ever used extensions though (except ad blockers), so maybe there's something I don't understand about any downfalls of Firefox. I just don't see any, especially nowadays. It just works for me, so I never fully switched.

I've tried other browsers, but I just come back to Firefox ever time. It's a comfort at this point

That's a fact!
