Be me, helping family set up a CB

Be me, call out on 38/LSB for a radio check just for gits and shiggles

In between the music and the guy badly singing the batman theme someone actually says it's working

My face when.

@tek_dmn

The important thing is to have a tuned antenna or use an antenna tuner to fix the impedance mismatch.

You can shorten an existing CB antenna and try to match it to 10m.

Just tuning the mismatch away shouldn't be a big problem.

Moving the goalposts like a true German "green" person.

I want you all to put up or shut up and ditch fossil fuels NOW.

Even with all that green posturing you are STILL one of Europe's filthiest nations when it comes to fossil fuel emissions.

It’s Science Week! Did you know you’re likely to have a bit of nuclear waste in your home? And it keeps you safe! Your smoke detector hold a bit of americium-241, a weak alpha and gamma radiator.

Most smoke detectors here in NL/EU don't have these.

Has been illegal since 2002 or something?

Of course they are still used as they don't seem to degrade during use. I got one that is old but still very sensitive.

@collectifission

Here is a measurement with my low-energy probe. ²⁴¹Am emits alpha particles but also 60 keV gamma rays, the latter can escape the smoke detector housing. They are highly attenuated by plastic and metal though.

Loterijen blokkeerden gokwaarschuwing, 'miljoenen voor goede doelen op het spel'

Loterijen hebben met succes gelobbyd om een nieuwe waarschuwingstekst voor gokken bij hun spellen te voorkomen, ondanks bezwaren van experts. De loterijen stelden in een brandbrief dat er minder geld naar goede doelen, cultuur en sport zou gaan als ze een nieuwe waarschuwing aan hun reclames moesten toevoegen.

This is the latest "innovation". with a market cap of $1.7 trillion and $120 billion cash on hand, "needs" to charge for ads on YouTube.

This is, of course, not true. They have more than enough revenue to run YouTube without ads in perpetuity, but they want to please shareholders. The community is showing how you can distribute the costs of hosting content as well. If you don't support Google's continued monetization of monopolized video...vote with your feet.

A reminder to people still using the deadbird site: Twitter is every bit as sleazy and harmful as the Daily Stormer or Breitbart. When you tweet, you bring legitimacy to a platform that rightly deserves to be ostracized. And sorry, but this applies to everyone, no matter your income level, race, gender identity, etc.

    Check this out. Thief approaches door of house with car parked out front. He is holding a wire antenna. If the car owner has left their keys near the front door, the wire antenna will boost the signal. Success! The key fob is near the door. Signal boosted. This causes the car to think the key is very near to it, and opens the car door. Thief's accomplice gets in and starts the car. They drive away! https://mastodon.social/@it4sec/111167031354970229

    Stupid design really. How hard is it to push a button and consciously unlocking a car?

    OTOH, I have at least two contactless cards that behave in the same way, proximity causes a card to trigger a payment or a public transportation check-in.

    So a lot of people who are in unstable, abusive, and/or periodically violent living situations keep cell phones hidden for emergencies.

    If you know anyone in such a situation, make sure they know about FEMA's testing of its Wireless Emergency Alert (WEA) system next Wednesday (10/4). This test will bypass the phone's silencing features. To keep the phone quiet during this alert, it has to be completely powered down.

    This alert is scheduled for the following times:
    Wednesday 10/4
    2:20pm EST
    1:20pm CST
    12:20pm MST
    11:20am PST

    And feel free to copy/paste this in more toots with whatever random and/or trending hashtags.

    and will get more traction

    You can disable Wireless Emergency Alerts on most phones. In Android you can access the settings for it under Settings-Notifications-Advanced-Wireless Emergency Alerts:
