romney is not from MA, he was just our governor.
stop recommending fucking baofengs. they operate out of band, and you're supporting the chinese. pay a few extra bucks and get a low-end yaesu. FUCK.
it irritates me when people are on here hating on the CCP (which they should) then people go "oh yeah just buy this chinese hunk of shit that will break on you because its a fucking toy)
its not super hard. just memorize all the answers and study the theory later. its a pool of 400 possible multiple-choice questions. you need to get 27/35 correct to pass. its 15$ to take the test. you can only use a calculator.
hamstudy,org or download the hamstudy.org app on android/iOS
*CW (morse code) isnt required on the test anymore, but you should learn it anyway at your leisure. theres an app called "Morsemania" that is really fun and is super helpful.
w/o a license you cant transmit on ANY wattage. the only way you can transmit on a ham radio unlicensed is if you are in dire need of emergency and there's no other way to communicate.
yes, its an FCC violation. we hams take a test and go through a process to obtain a license. we do this so that ham doesnt become CB.
CB is 11m, not the same thing as ham. ham requires a license to operate, CB doesnt. however, if you just want to lurk and promise to NEVER transmit w/o a license, then yes you can buy a ham radio today if you wanted to.
protip: you can also listen to shortwave radio with an HF radio, but chances are you'll just end up buying a dual-bander. (VHF/UHF)

well dont i feel silly lol. either way, i worry for our "wrongthink" websites that we all love so much being deplatformed by their domain name providers.... truly a sad day for freedom.
no link, dont bother people!
OP: INCLUDE THE DIRECT LINK!
who is upvoting this? either provide the link or fuck off.
stop spreading fud. there is nothing wrong with signal. its an open-source technology that provides end-to-end encryption. you might not like who uses it (jack dorsey, antifa, etc), but it obviously works, WELL, otherwise why would they use it? it is stupid to say a technology isnt good just because your enemy uses it. if it sucked, they wouldnt use it.
if i wanted to use your argument, i could say ed snowden uses and advocates for it, yall like snowden dont you? what about elon musk? cmon musk is totally one of us.
cmon man! (in joe biden's voice)
mastodon.io
look into something called noagendasocial
mastodon is de-centralized, so no one can "take it down" as there isn't one central server. also, look into lbry.tv as an alternative to youtube.
i'll bring the coffee and donuts. i wish i knew how to quit you!

walmart are stupid idiots. how many times are we gonna watch this scenario play out? random company attempts a woke campaign, if its a "success" (gillette) they double down. if its a failure (walmart), they completely disavow it and pretend they dont have any association with it to distance themselves from negative PR.
reminds me of the time someone asked michael jordan how he can sell jordans to trump supporters. his response was "republicans buy sneakers too".
most spanish people in massachusetts are puerto ricans.
source: am white trash from central MA lol
for the record, she is not, lol.
i never even had to scrub up. i wore my street clothes and occasionally had the mask on (even though there were signs everywhere). its not that im clueless to this mask bs, its that they require it basically in the hallways. they are completely inconsistent with the mask enforcement.
i still think it was weird i was able to be in the room with my "compromised" street clothes, but somehow a mask is sooo important.. hope this charade is over soon, but u have to play the game to watch your kid get born...
its a disaster right now. gonna take a pass for a few months lol.
wow, lotta salt in here. sheesh.
i dont have social media. havent had it in ~8 years. this is the only kinship i have on the internet. wife gave birth to a happy healthy baby girl. thank you to all the well-wishers.
i dont see a point in being derogatory to the jerks on here. i see their point, but i love the woman i love. im sorry if you disapprove, i really should run my life choices past you guys first ;) i didnt mean to rile up the friggin klan on here ffs.
anyway, happy new year, be safe, and be fruitful.
i dont have a choice dude. no mask in the pregnancy ward gets you kicked out. im not missing this moment.
my life is about to change. i want all of you to know that i am thankful for everything my country has given me. all of you be safe jan 6th. whether its a boy or a girl, it will always be taught right from wrong to love god, country, and have respect for others.
MAGA KAG 2020 (or 2021?)
feral*. i want fellow pedes to be accurate when they are vindictive and angry, lol.
no one is denying that. but the person i was replying to said that romney was "from MA", which is incorrect. he was only the governor. your comment is irrelevant.
