@MaraAgainToo @bacon_bagel_ @CountDankulaTV When I see see those I know I need to shut everything down for a while otherwise massive painful migraine ensues. You're lucky that it is just a nuisance for you.

We don’t talk about that enough.

@cqcqcqdx I remember spending hours typing in the code for "hunt the wumpus". I was a child, and it was fun, but I was just transcribing from a library book not coding per se. The program was saved on magnetic tape. 🤯 memory unlocked.

@nwprogressive Boston tea party ring a bell?

@jmrphy You are just a sh1tty dad. Not world ending stuff, but don't expect your kids to want to be around you either, especially when they are grown. Your loss.

@digitalspaz Happy birthday Kasey

@TheNotARubicon @digitalspaz Fair point. I'm just salty.

@TheNotARubicon @digitalspaz You must not have a bunch of router nodes on rooftops(instead of mountain tops) like we do here. Oh, and I suppose the topology around Seattle with our many hills and valleys probably taints my experience.

[Hoodah @Hoodah]

@digitalspaz @TheNotARubicon A lot has changed with meshtastic in the last two years. The main thing being the realization that there are so many old misconfigured nodes that it is completely useless. Too much rf noise to have a conversation. Meshcore is supposed to fix the, but tbd...

@pnwguerrilla There are 300+ million people in the USA. Free range doesn't scale unfortunately. Civilizations exist for a reason.

@pegobry_en Overthink much?

Listen to my words. I’ve been an HVAC mechanic for a long time. What I’m seeing now VS even ten years ago is a crime. Parts are trash, equipment is too.

It was bad during Covid, everything was shut down, it was understandable. But it’s worse now.

I get a new part, I cross my fingers that it’s going to work.

75% of the calls I get are on equipment 5yrs old or less.

Engineers have stuffed so much superfluous electronics and sensitive parts into these units, supposedly for efficiency, that constantly fail.

We’re now mandated to use a new refrigerant, meaning the old equipment is not available any more, and the cost per pound for the new stuff is more than double.

If you have one of these old girls at your house, you better hope and pray your compressor stays ok because this is a tank and will run forever. There are 4 parts in this unit. A fan, a capacitor, a contactor, and a compressor. I can get any of these parts (minus the compressor) off any shelf in town. In fact, I carry replacement parts for this unit on my truck.

The new unit? Idk how long it might take to get your specific motor or circuit board, or whatever.

This is largely due to offshoring and regulation.

The parts and equipment are made by corporations, where every person from the janitor to the chairman of the board is an employee drawing a check. The CEO only cares if this quarter’s sales are good. If the company goes under, who cares, he moves on to another CEO job somewhere else.

And the regulations? The theory is that we can and should make things more energy efficient. Great, except that the steps it takes to make something energy efficient also make it fragile. Now you can expect to see a service guy every year or two.

Just one of the many symptoms of a broken system. A degenerate age. A dying civilization.

I’m doing my best on my side of things, but something must be done. It’s a fucking shame that we can’t make anything of quality any more. Greed and corruption on every level.

@rightsofrefusal @DrDeath1776 Oh, I see. Yeah that's lame.

[Hoodah @Hoodah]

@rightsofrefusal @DrDeath1776 This is actually good. Parents are in the best position to help their children deal with ADHD.

@TequilaKid900 @digitalspaz @HoffmanTactical The gatekeeping is keeping suppressor prices higher than they should be. Even if the $200 isn't much nowadays, overall prices would go down significantly if this was more of a free market scenario.
