I'm out of the loop on this one

I think "they" was referring to The Onion. Based on your response, did you write this yourself?

But do you love ice cream?

Have you seen office space?

I'm going to assume that the turd allyoop into the toilet was also autobiographical. Don't correct if I'm wrong.

Sounds like a good time

I feel like this one is much more personal than your typical work

I'm looking for some advice about selecting an antenna. I live in an apartment, so I can't install anything permanent and can't anchor anything to the house. There is a small backyard about 30ftx30ft, some arborvitaes but no strong trees. My radio is on the second floor. There are also two-story houses behind and on either side. I am currently a technician, planning to upgrade to general in the next few months. Right now I'm mostly interested in 10m and 20m, would also like 2m to reach my local repeater. I plan to use SSB and digital modes. Some possible options I've come up with: using a stand like this https://www.dxengineering.com/parts/wmo-18320 with a mast to put up an inverted V, but I haven't done the measurements and math to see what the angle would be; my initial instinct is that it's too sharp of an angle to be effective. I also looked at this https://www.dxengineering.com/parts/dxc-expedition or https://www.dxengineering.com/parts/but-hf9v, but I don't have good line-of-sight with all the houses. I could do the mast stand and a mast with something like this https://www.dxengineering.com/parts/mkr-11-251.

 

So, I bought several bags of frozen jackfruit thinking I would use the slow cooker to make some BBQ. Then I realized that it's ripe jackfruit, not young jackfruit. What can I do with it that's not a smoothie?

 

I'm going to try building a couple of pvc/measuring tape Yagis, one for 2m and one for 70cm. I have a basic understanding that the satellite (going to try ISS voice first) will be at a certain compass direction and angle above horizon. I think my main question is the beacon. I tune to the beacon signal and start hunting for the satellite, what am I listening for? Any particular Homer advice?
