@logout I've used my Palm iii that way before! I also had the modem for it and used said modem to look up some stuff while I was traveling one time. I was so painfully self-satisfied over that.
Uhhh...I just went to check the feed on my account @mxks only to discover that https://djs.social is now pointing at one of those placeholder pages you get when a domain registration lapses. Anyone know what's up there? Did I miss a memo about the instance shutting down?

TIL that "Kiss Them For Me" by Siouxsie and the Banshees is about Jayne Mansfield. When I put this up with Bela Lugosi, Marilyn Monroe, and Marlene Dietrich, I'm now starting to wonder how many other icons of the screen have had goth songs written about them.
In the past women considered the tree symbol of fertility and breast-feeding as aerial-roots that developed in older ginkgo were known as 'chichi' (乳-breasts).
These unique structures grow down to the ground to form roots or up to sprout leaves.
@jimsalter@fsf They're not. They've made it perfectly clear their loyalty is to RMS and not to the mission. I've moved on to the @conservancy and will likewise be changing my bequests the next time my will is updated.
@kilroy_was_here ah, got it. Yeah, those are dangerous situations and it's best to avoid them. In my truck, the 7100 remote head sits on a movable goose neck but is basically right next to the air conditioning controls and I don't touch the VFO. I just leave it on two repeaters and the touchscreen switches between them at the corners so I don't need to look. The mic sits in a cup holder. So everything is within a no-look reach.
@kilroy_was_here what were these close calls you mention? I keep a mobile hooked up in the truck in part so I have it on hand for going up into the mountains. Easy to lose cellular up there.
@kilroy_was_here The 7100 is an amazing rig. I loved it so much, in fact, that, I bought one for my lab and one for my truck, and it's versatile enough to be perfect in both situations.
@hackaday Homeboy here probably couldn't imagine how his little revolution changed the lives of me and countless others. For years, the happiest day of the month was the one where I got my 3*2*1 Contact magazine and messed with the BASIC listing in it. So many lives touched by an idea whose time had come.
@millihertz I cannot imagine a language better suited to cut my teeth on. Even its more obvious limitations seems almost purpose built to become object lessons in why other languages are as they are. I weep that children are not still taught on it.
