Tariff War Risks Sinking World Into New Great Depression, International Chamber of Commerce Warns.

The world economy could face a crash similar to the Great Depression of the 1930s.

“Our deep concern is that this could be the start of a downward spiral that puts us in 1930s trade-war territory,” said Andrew Wilson, deputy secretary-general of the ICC.

Fun fact, there are no mosquitos in Iceland.

Martha, come here a moment.

Look.

That wasn't there this morning, was it?

No. The Andersons took their antenna with them when they moved.

Just our luck.

What?

Ham radio operators.

You know what they do to radio and tv reception.

Dad?

Yeah, Ellen?

I don't know what's the matter, but I was listening to my radio and all of a sudden, it began picking up these weird voices.

Ham radio operators.

Is there anything we can do about it?

We can make sure they've got a license to operate.

It seems the FCC removed or has hidden the ability to search by frequency ranges.

Fake Job Postings Are Becoming a Real Problem

One in five jobs advertised is fake or not filled, according to a new analysis; ‘more soul-crushing than ever’

Between 18% and 22% of jobs advertised in 2024 were appeals for new workers that never actually got filled.

White-collar workers say it’s harder to get hired and blame everything from artificial intelligence to tighter budgets.

70% of companies using Greenhouse posted at least one ghost job in the second quarter of last year. And 15% of companies were regular offenders, with one in every two jobs they advertised languishing with no hire.

The state of Minnesota willingly surrenders to Canada. 🇨🇦

Is this not the greatest looking radio ever made?

Time to add Meta, Facebook and Zuckerberg to the word block list.

Never used it, never had an account there.

AccuWeather forecasters warn that the company they work for likes to sensationalize cold weather and get people jacked up for no reason.

Or stated another way,

AccuWeather = TRASH

I agree, congress is too corrupt to address this is issue so it will back back to the states to address. A

@ThinkingSapien

People are getting pretty wound up about the net neutrality court decision today. It really comes down to “telecommunications service" provider vs an "information service” provider.

Congress needs to address this not the FCC and while congress is at it reclassify ISP’s, web hosting providers and social media sites as common carriers.

Easy peezy.

This is a 3D-printable "Helicone" antenna for L-Band (NOAA, Meteor, and other weather satellites). It's available on Thingiverse:

I suspect the key difference is China is considered a national security threat and that has to be taken into consideration otherwise the Supreme Court has ruled that government regulation of First Amendment rights must be “narrowly tailored,” which means that laws must be written precisely to place as few restrictions as possible on First Amendment liberties.
