I remember being a child, camping with my grandparents, and my late grandfather regaling us with how he just got off the radio with a guy in Australia! I asked him how he was able to talk to someone so far away, and he said the weather was just right for the signal to carry.

He was so proud of his amateur ham radio license that he got a vanity plate for his truck with his call sign.

Out of curiosity I just looked up his call sign, and, while his license is now expired, it has not been recycled yet.

A xxx & nsfw tags? Or xsfw instead of xxx? And maybe even a nsfl tag for those that are more than just not safe for work.

It definitely does. Don't use Apple products, but setting limits or bedtime alarms (on the switch) helps us all out. It cut down on the tantrums about stopping, it gives them the routine they need (we're all on the ADHD spectrum in this house), and I set it up and it's done (I have practically nil executive function).

Is it perfect? No. But it works for us.

"good morning" [+emoji] is the one I see daily. There's a few alternatives I see, but I usually end up sending the one with the coffee cup in response.

I also like seeing the options for the different emoji combination stickers (like the cyclops sobbing in your screenshot) that Gboard comes up with. :) I've found to trigger that, I either pick 2 different emojis or type the same one 2-3x to get suggestions.

Been having fun with both of these features on my Samsung phone for a while. Enjoy! Have fun!

Thank you! I'm a civi (civilian) and only had it when my older sister came back from basic training.

I can't remember what it's called, but mixing the brownie with the coffee was the best thing I've ever had from an MRE.

Same here. I read the post and got so confused because I have my quick bar set up with WiFi as the first toggle option.

I used to snap the beans that my grandparents picked. So many 5 gallon buckets full of beans... Snapping them at the picnic table in summer... I was in Arkansas so the humidity wasn't much better.

Yes! He linked to the post over on tildes prior to shutting down RIF.

I know that feeling all too well. The small local grocery store is, at minimum, 2 to 3 times more expensive than Walmart, or even the Dollar General a block away. The local hardware stores aren't much better.

Skin on your fingertips is overrated anyways /s

I've only ever used Humble Bundle to buy steam games not on steam itself. I haven't had a single steam key issue in the 13 odd-years that they've been around. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯
