Some nostalgic "Business" sign in Gaithersburg, MD.
Fast Times at Ridgemont High
@clolsonus Gotta admit, the hair in that image does make a compelling case.
But if that's the case, it really breaks with the rest of the "businesses" which are about something the character(s) actively does (e.g. The Blues Brothers driving through the mall).
Bad idea: boot a diskless (no floppy or HD) 5150 into DOS.
How? No, not the cassette port. The only other port. The keyboard!
We make a PC/XT protocol keyboard that writes a small stub and then copies DOS into RAM (with a ramdisk, natch) through the keyboard port.

I’m surprised your 5th grader is learning about ML.
I don’t think I had even heard of him until I was in a high school European history class.

I have a neat idea for a clamp tool so I can push the probe body solidly against the bearings for swapping probe tips. It's just a wedge, tbh.
is this related to your 'mercury question' recently?
I like this, but don't know what I'm looking at.

No problem, I got my license as well only one year ago, so lots to learn as well ;)
yes, it is less important for HF, due to the propagation via the ionosphere. since the reflextion will change the polariasation randomly. But as long, as it is still groundwave propagation, polarization matters.
@DA1EE Well I was looking for an excuse to add a JPC-7 as well as my PAC/JPC-12 to my kit — now I realize that I want to have both the horizontal dipole and vertical ground plane (virtual dipole) antennas!
And that will give me extra coils so I can work 80m from parks, so an extra win! 😁
Trump recently suggested #America sell downgraded #f47’s of “10% lesser” potential to #Canada and #EU, positing “we may no longer be allies in the future”.
Now what (or whom) would possess an “ally” to intentionally degrade a friendly weapons systems in advance of a future attack? Asking for #Ukraine this time.

We need a term that’s like “bikeshedding” except it means fixating on a non-urgent side conflict while ignoring an immediate crisis.
