Just use your regular charger, there are typically outlets under the seat in front of you on B737/A320 and larger. Even many regional jets have them these days. I never plug into a random USB port.

Perhaps it’s a bit pedantic, but I’d consider that a road sensor not a weather sensor. Road condition and a webcam is related to weather but not one of the primary instruments like a barometer, anemometer, thermometer, rain gauge, etc.

I see what you’re saying though, it could be one of those road sensors.

Doesn’t look like any weather sensor is there to me.

“Military ammunition” sounds scary until you realize it’s only made to be acceptable for military purposes, and the truly excellent grade ammunition is made for civilians.

I recently re-entered the dating pool for the first time in a decade and it’s incredible how much attention I get from just appearing clean, having my shit together, and not posting a picture with me holding a fish. Never got so much attention from women before in my life. Had a date in like one week.

The bar is very, very low. I am sorry, ladies out there.

You can buy a cheap Chinese HT like a Quansheng UV-K6 for like $40. These have open firmware and there’s a bunch of custom options radio nerds have whipped up. Get the USB programming cable even if you’re not doing custom FW, makes programming frequencies and tweaking options much easier. You’ll also need a license and in the US, HamStudy.org has the exact questions from the test. There’s a ton of YouTube channels you can watch and books you can read for general purpose radio knowledge. Then it’s just a matter of getting a proper antenna and pointing it in the right place at the right time; there’s free resources online, paid apps, all that is out there and it’s just a matter of wanting to learn it. The actual hardware you need to get started is really cheap these days.

You’d be better served learning how to do it yourself. It’s not hard and it’s a pretty cool skill to have (amateur radio).

Locking your phone and Lockdown Mode are drastically different things.

There are amateur radio data protocols but it’s slow as fuck.

Other comment is wrong. LD50 = 50% chance of dying. LD99 = 99% chance of dying. The figures I listed are for humans, not mice. LD50 in mice is likely drastically different than LD50 in humans.

Your entire comment is incorrect. LD50 is lethal dose to kill on average 50% of the time. LD99 is the dose that kills 99% of people. The figures I listed are for humans. There’s no way to extrapolate LD50 from other species to humans. There is enough data on humans radiation exposure to directly calculate LD50.

This costs “less than $70”.

You can get a cheap Geiger counter for $50 today and it’s about the same size. I see some for $30-40. These are based on old, proven technology, not some new thing with new unknown problems and an app.

Not that it isn’t neat, but it’s kind of a solved problem.

To put this into perspective, a 10 Gray dose to the skin is high enough to cause permanent hair loss.

A 10Gy exposure is well, well beyond hair loss range and into the fatal within days zone. The LD50 is 5Gy, LD99 is 9Gy IIRC. Methinks the author did not do their research on the topic.

SH-130 is a super fast toll highway in Texas pretty much for rich people with fast cars.

It happens if you express any positive sentiment towards Apple. I don’t give a shit, downvotes matter not.

I don’t need my phone to be a completely open computer, I have a computer and a server for that. I need a communications appliance, and since I’m the family IT guy, I need the lowest bullshit device my boomer parents can operate. My parents are not going to run some high privacy custom ROM because I’m not going to troubleshoot their problems. I realize that those ROMs are objectively better if you’re only considering the phone, but I basically have to manage a fleet of devices, and it’s easier troubleshooting if I’m also using the same. I don’t love Apple, it’s just easier.

You say it’s purposely stunted, I say it has guardrails that saves me hours and hours of family IT support time un-fucking my elderly parents phones. This was something I’d have to do every single time I was home when we had android phones.

I would dump Apple in a heartbeat if something better existed. They’re not good but they’re the best for my personal scenario of the current options.

Four day old account with a massive AI spam first post. Hmmmm

That’s frankly an insane amount of protein. I have been getting into weight lifting the past few years and I target 1g protein per kilogram bodyweight. This got me from 165lbs (75kg) to 205lbs (93kg) on a 6’3” (1.9m) frame and it seems to be well supported by numerous scientific studies.

I don’t disagree, but veggies and fibers aren’t macronutrients in our current system of nutrition. Fats, carbs, proteins. Of those three, it’s wiser to prioritize proteins over the rest. This is all I’m saying.
