@istvan @eriner I'm using regular egzumer on all those toys. Compiled with extra low power option enabled tho. You know for battery saving and some extra stealthiness.

@istvan @eriner oh yeah, they're surprisingly good radios, especially considering the price. I just call them toys because I mostly use them for fucking around 🤣

@istvan @eriner they sure do feel better than boofwongs. And they perform better. Even the stock antennas they ship with aren't too shabby.
Probably the best option for somewhat reliable giveaway-and-forget radio put there if eavesdroppers aren't an issue. If you want to up your game to something digital that does AES-256 encryption, look up Radtel RT-4D. They can be had for about 50 bucks

@mk @magicalthinking @Sophistifunk my position is that you have no idea what you're talking about and you should go bugging someone else with your nonsense. I have life to live.

@mk @magicalthinking @Sophistifunk well then we're talking fiat, as in, the currency isn't really redeemable in anything, you only believe that it is ;)

@mk @magicalthinking @Sophistifunk
There's approximately 996455 million CHF
And Switzerland holds roughly 1,040 metric tons of gold.
A ton of gold is about €56,089,940, frank being pretty much equal to euro..... They're kinda short on metal ;)

@mk @magicalthinking @Sophistifunk everyone would be, like, ok, show ne the Gold. And since they can't possibly have enough gold to really make swiss frank redeemable in gold at any reasonable rate, the frank would quit simple become practically worthless. That is what would happen ;)

@mk @magicalthinking @Sophistifunk the first county that does that will be crushed by all the rest of the world still using fiat. How can you possibly compete against someone who can just print up whatever money they need when you need to go mining for gold or something to pay your working class? 😉

@mk @magicalthinking @Sophistifunk it is socialism. Unfortunately tho, with a big ass player like china that subsidizes its manufacturing there's hardly any other way. Kinda gotta fight fire with fire

@magicalthinking more importantly, Trump's entering a dangerous territory imposing tariffs on services. That's where the rest of the world can actually retaliate and it will hurt, since the US actually exposes a lot of services

@yukiame @Humpleupagus why? 🤔

@yukiame that's antisemitic! Love it! 🤣

@yukiame that too, but if you have beef with cow milk products, like, you know, cheese, them kikes can't eat it either.

@LukeAlmighty what if I'm pro-woke, because when shit hits the fan the woke will be a convenient source of toilet paper and whatnot, since they'll never be able to defend their possessions? 🤔🤣

Italian news:
Von der Leyen: “I cittadini Ue sono in gran parte a favore del riarmo. Estrema destra e sinistra sono per la pace? No, sono per Putin”

Translation:
Von der Leyden: "the EU citizens are mostly in favor of rearmament. Far right and left are for peace? No, they're for Putin"

Now, where do I even begin with this particular nonsense.... Oh, I know. What does that even mean "EU citizen"? Where do I get an EU passport? 🤣

@Humpleupagus @tankenator found one! Nah, not really.... I wish tho 🤣

@tankenator never really thought about it, but I suppose I do, yeah. I mean, there must be at least SOME carbonized human bones and stuff in the pumice deposit all around Naples 🤔😉

Time to plant the rooftop peppers. Just gotta mix in the secret sauce straight from Pompeii 😉

@mk @SiRrogueKnight @yukiame when did I suggest they change anything on the fly?
I'm just telling you that they block whomever doesn't comply, and thus if Yandex weren't doing the censorship they say it has to be doing, I wouldn't be able to access Yandex without going through VPN. Which part you can't comprehend?
