  • While I hate what’s happening to (gestures broadly) there is a bright side, dark as it may be to look at it this way.

    Most of the people currently being targeted tend to vote Republican, so there will be less of those people to vote, and the ones still in the country come election day have a higher chance of not voting or flipping against the Republicans.

    Also more and more non-minority maga are saying “I didn’t vote for this” and getting hurt by these policies. If just a small portion of those gets out from under the brainwashing and either doesn’t vote or votes 3rd party instead that could also cost Republicans races.

    Margins were tight in a fair amount of races last cycle, house, senate, and president. If elections are allowed and there’s no tampering with votes, the Republicans stand a good chance of losing the house in 26 and the white house in 28. There’s also state governments to look at but I don’t want to write a small novel in the comments.












  • Thread also works on the 2.4 GHz range but can utilize sub ranges of 868 in Europe and 915 in north America. The 868 and 915 GHz ranges are what LoRa operates on and provides a much greater range for low data rate transmissions.

    In fact Meshtastic operates on LoRa on 915 here in the U.S. and I have a node in my second floor window with a 3db antenna and I have been able to message both ways up to 3 blocks away.

    Long story short, utilizing 868 and 915 in these devices will make dead spots a thing of the past within a home, even with their lower gain internal antennas.


  • I talk to one person from highschool, it’s my current department head, he joined the company about 10 years before me. We’ve joked that this is the closest either of us will ever get to a class reunion.

    The best part is we have a similar sense of humor and give each other shit during every team meeting. This is especially fun when newbies are in the meeting, we take it up a notch just to screw with them. Afterwards we of course let them in on the gag… eventually.



  • Honestly he’s hard to read and he may have been joking, or not, I never bothered to find out since I really had no intention of doing it anyway. I work in international freight and deal with Canadian bound freight exclusively, some of the nicest customers I’ve dealt with were Canadian. CBSA… they deal with bastards all day so they get a pass.

    Honestly I own the fact that I’m American and then try to show we’re not all backwards assholes. I figure I’m stuck here for the foreseeable future so I might as well try to do something to let the world know we’re not all nazis.




  • That’s a good way to use the tool. I generally use the OpenAI option to set up a custom gpt and tell it to become an expert on the subject I’m writing about, then set the parameters. Then once I’ve tested it on a piece of the subject matter I already understand and confirm it’s working properly, I begin asking it questions. When I’m out of questions or just need a break, I go back and check the citations for each answer just to make sure I’m not getting bad data.

    Once I’ve run out of questions and all the data is verified, I have it create an outline with a brief summary of each section. Then I take that outline and use that to guide me as I write. Also it seems like the A.I. always puts at least one section in the wrong place so that’s just another reason I like to write it myself and just use an A.I. summary outline.
