@MLE_online lmao what repeater is this, I'm hoping there's a broadcastify feed or something

@MLE_online the repeater ID might only be beeped out in Morse. Not all of them have Creepy Robot Voice or whatev

@MLE_online the last time I messed with setting up a repeater controller, I used this cute thing that runs on a Raspberry Pi and uses a hat for audio i/o and gpio to watch for incoming carrier from the receiver carrier operated relay (COR) pin, key the transmitter up, and, well, pass audio. It could link your repeater to Allstarlink or other VoIP networks for extension over the internet, but, uh, sillier, it could play back recorded audio files for the ID...

@MLE_online so a certain repeater up in the foothills of the Cascades might or might not have my voice on it saying the callsign and then "Powered by Tri-Color Foaming Wax."

I love that some time ago I basically infected my coworkers' minds with this and the message worked: when they're about to do something dangerous they step back and think of "shake hands with danger" and that guitar riff. then they burst out laughing.

"The practice of giving sedatives to people detained by police has spread quietly across the nation over the last 15 years, built on questionable science and backed by police-aligned experts...

"At least 94 people died after they were given sedatives and restrained by police from 2012 through 2021, nearly 10% of the more than 1,000 deaths of people subdued by police in ways that are not supposed to be fatal. About half of the 94 who died were Black" #acab

@JoshuaHolland I didn't even know this was a practice until now and... it very much should not be. This is insanely dangerous to just be dosing people without knowing anything of their medical history and especially with the potential of causing interactions with anything else already in their system

"Wahhh, how come no one talks to me? ...

You're a piece of shit, Jimmy. When you look up sack of shit in the dictionary, there's a picture of you. You're ugly, worthless, you're just a sack of shit, Jimmy."

"At least he tries to be good though. Pat is a piece of shit, but he's not good at it. Jimmy really tries to be good at being a piece of shit."

For some reason, the grocery store near me keeps raisins not near the nuts, nor near the trail mix, nor near the snacks, nor the fresh fruit, nor near the baking supplies (which include a different set of nuts).

Instead, they keep the raisins near the tea.

I angrily wandered around the store way too long tonight.

@MLE_online raisins... and tea?

Oh absolutely

RE: https://wanderingwires.net/notes/9scj2l1vdo3iqril

a screen recording of a fake keygen crack program. the title reads "GENDER PATCHER 2K24", below is rainbow text which reads "WAVETABLE CYMRU" on a pool water background image. underneath is the text "--==GENDER PATCHER==--". below that is a purple gradient plasma effect cycling between 4 different patterns. under that is a progress bar, a text entry box and two buttons labelled "PATCH" and "QUIT". on the bottom there are three checkboxes, labelled "Auto Update", "Unlimited Blahaj" and "Double Jump"

Today I spent some severely side-eyeing a truck mounted vsat rig trying to get it to find the bird

(Instead the system just kinda kept flipping me the bird, going through a coarse search over and over and giving up without seeing a signal at all, I think the ODU went kaputski)

@MLE_online the neon one is guilty of the staining. It's got this perplexing little map on the back of the palette showing which ones are intended for use as eyeshadow and which aren't. I don't understand this at all nor do I care. You can't even see this map when using it.
