You should check out Ham Radio Crash Cpurse on YouTube. Lots of great info there.

Yeah I was on Kbin but got tired of the UI. Plus there are no apps for it.

We have a similar one here in the US. People think if you go outside when it's too cold, you'll get sick.

They’re pretty much baofengs with much better filtering, so you don’t get front end overloading which can be frustrating.

Isn’t it maintained again?

Most activity, I've seen here: !amateurradio@lemmy.ko4abp.com but there's a lemmy bug that's not showing a bunch of posts. That should be resolved soon.

These are good cheaper radios (The price has gone up a bit)

They are fine for starting out with, but you'll probably want to upgrade soon. There are better radios for around $75 if you can afford it.

Ham radio! It's relaxing. My favorite activity is to take my portable gear to parks and operate Parks on the Air.

Using lemmy is well worth the $5 per month I give them.

[–] minorsecond@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Lol yeah I thought that was cool.

Side note, are you a C developer?

I have photos of the interior. Let’s see if this is the one.

I was in Hiroshima and found this little Tex-Mex restaurant near the bomb dome. It was great, and I say that as someone originally from Texas. Search for it if you’re ever there.

 

I've observed this with a few communities today, both local and federated. Is anyone else experiencing this?

 
 

Maybe just a few more pixels between them?

 

I’ve been a huge fan of the movies since they first came out but didn’t read the books until the beginning of this year. I just wasn’t a reader until recently. I’ve been yearning for some more fantasy but haven’t been able to find anything similar. I tried The Silmarillion but it reads too much like a textbook to me.

What are some other great fantasy books that I might like?

My in-laws are visiting for a week at the end of next month and they like to visit until late in the evening. However, I typically go to bed at 7 PM because I have to get up at 4 AM to train for my sport before work. I'll have just finished a competition and will be beginning training for another one when they're here.

What's the best way to set boundaries with them without coming across as an asshole? My wife will probably want to stay out later while they're here, so I'll have to figure out a way to compromise.

To make it more interesting, what are some things your in-laws do that annoy you when they visit?

 

I have my final test day before my meet coming up on Sunday and I'm looking for some really heavy/hard music to listen to during my attempts.

What is your go to music for this?

To start it off, here are three of my favorites:

My wife and I are in the mood to watch something terrible. We just watched the langoliers ~~and hackers~~ so something in that vein would be fun.

What are y’all’s favorite shitty movies?

Edit: I have been corrected: hackers is a great movie. I'm sorry everyone.

I'm currently struggling to find my home. I have an account here at lemmy.ml, where most of my posts are, and one at kbin.

Why do you think your instance is the place to be?

 

Title. I plan on deleting my account soon but want all my comments to point people to lemmy. I know there are several ways to do so but I can't remember what they are. I did a search here before posting but nothing related came up.

I'm planning on changing my comments to something like:

Edit: Moved to Lemmy

but is there something better I can say?

Has anyone else had the upvote/downvote buttons, along with the post & comment toolbars disappear when using the darkly theme? They're still there, because if you click in the right spot you can get where you want, they just seem to be black on black. You can still see them if you switch to lightly or lightly red.

I'm using the latest version of Edge if that matters.

Edit: Switching the theme setting around seems to have fixed it, actually.

 

I created the Powerlifting community on lemmy.ml but I'm not seeing any of the mod actions listed here when I click the ellipses under a post:

https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/users/04-moderation.html

Does this instance have those disabled?
