The 10dbi gain claim is marketing, it’s not going to get anywhere near that. A Yagi antenna could get that but this is a very basic half wave whip.

I couldn’t live without a dining table. Where else would I keep car parts when they come out of the dishwasher?

Gotta be rotini, it’s ribbed

I agree in general but I can’t think of anything in the OT that is taken from The Epic of Gilgamesh except the Noah’s Ark story, which is a clear rip-off. And the 5000 years ago is too long, I think the oldest books are from the 8th century BCE.

“I have no special regard for Satan; but I can at least claim that I have no prejudice against him. It may even be that I lean a little his way, on account of his not having a fair show. All religions issue bibles against him, and say the most injurious things about him, but we never hear his side.” - Mark Twain

You don’t have to look at Christians to think God isn’t so good.

In the Bible, Satan kills 10 people, Job’s children, and he did it with God’s blessing while they were having a bet.

God killed entire cities, all the firstborn of a nation even down to the slave’s children, killed everyone on earth except 8 people, killed a guy for picking up sticks, killed a guy for not allowing the ark of the covenant to fall, told the Hebrews to attack nations and kill every man woman and child in the land and was furious when they left a few alive, had a God-off to show he was more powerful and when the other side converted to believe in him he had them killed, killed David’s son and had his 10 wives publicly raped, killed 42 children for making fun of a bald guy… the list goes on, not to mention that God told the Hebrews to have slave’s, women were property and have to be killed if they ruin the one thing they were good for, their virginity.

Christians have weirdest relationship with the Bible. Many don’t really read it. If they did, they’d be Jewish. Jesus said to keep the Jewish laws, but Paul said it’s ok not to. Christians go with Paul instead of Jesus and generally disregard the Old Testament except the parts they think prove Jesus was the Messiah.

I love hearing the completely new version of this song every year

No one said that though. What was said was that as more people use Linux we will see more malware. And they’ve been saying that forever.

Here is an article talking about it from 2003 https://www.theregister.com/2003/10/06/linux_vs_windows_viruses/

If I knew how to search Usenet these days I’m sure I could find something from the 90s

It’s not untrue, actually, is common sense that there will be more malware, but it implies Linux’s only advantage is security through obscurity.

People have been worrying Linux is going basically become Windows over the next couple of years for 2-3 decades now. Malware is a serious problem that Linux users should take precautions from, but it seems clear by now that what security advantages it has aren’t based on obscurity.

When I was 15 in the 90s, every adult in the family, and adult friends of the family, said “You’re 15? Let’s go drive for an hour or two!” I’m pretty sure that, legally, a parent was supposed to be with me, but I guess any random adult was close enough.

I just added up 14 different vehicles I “learned on,” including an old pickup with “three on the tree”, a Corvette, a 280z turbo, a 68 Chevelle, an International Scout. The rest were boring vehicles. If I remember correctly, 9 were manuals.

One can never be sure what President Brain Worms is talking about but I’m pretty sure Obama started a ten year plan to modernize our nuclear forces early in his presidency.

A lot of cars are wired that way. I think it’s a safety feature because it’s difficult to know when your tail lights don’t work but it’s impossible to miss the dash lights

In my 01 Wrangler, the dash lights are on the same circuit as the tail lights so if your tail light fuse blows you know because your dash lights go off.

This could be a recall issue but the #1 hobby of newer Jeep owners is adding stupid LED lights everywhere. I would look into that first to eliminate it as an issue.

8 bursts for the enemy, and if that doesn’t do the trick, there’s one bullet left for you

I’m not saying Linux is immune, just that people have said that, practically word-for-word, forever.

He probably has some brain worms he got from RFK in there starting to death

People were saying the exact same thing when I first started using Linux in 1999-ish

Is this in response to a thing going around Christian circles where they say the Bible contains 65,000 hyperlinks, and humans couldn’t have done that so it must have been God?

This “hyperlink” business is based on a similar graphic that someone put together and it really is pretty. Each “hyperlink” is supposedly a part of the Bible that references another part of the Bible. But I could never find their data, although they sell a print of the graphic.

I did once find a website that documented 100,000 Bible “hyperlinks” and the data there is absolutely a joke. Like, any verse that mentions the word “good” is a hyperlink to every other verse that uses that word

I should be more clear. I don’t mean I consume TV like most people but do it through my media server. I meant that I have the media server and if I get the rare feeling that I want to watch TV I will watch some old show I have on there.

I upgraded my system in 2023 and looking at my history since then, it shows me watching a few episodes of Letterkenny after the update. I actually spent several months before that “binging” it. That was an uncharacteristically lot of TV for me and I actually skipped over every scene with only the Skids in it. I couldn’t stand them

After that, I’ve watched 5 episodes of The Super Dave Osborne Show which came out in the 80s, 3 episodes of Kim’s Convenience 5 episodes of Peep Show and 12 episodes of the comedy Children’s Hospital.

Without commercials those are 22 minutes each, except Children’s Hospital which are 11 minutes, or two episodes in 22/30 minutes. So 19x22 minutes= 418, or 7 hours in two years. I average watching 17.5 minutes of old TV shows per month.

I consider that not watching TV. I don’t keep up with new shows. I don’t finish a show and start looking for a new one to watch. But if I got really interested in a new TV show I’d watch the hell out of it then go back to not really watching anything.
