#hamradio We talk quite a bit on here about #JS8, but does anyone use #VarAC? I know - the whole #VARA license thing... I have messed with VarAC a few months back and made maybe 2 QSOs. Has anyone else used it much?

@nonlinear @KI5SMN @ve3qbz @k2za @kj5amz @n6cta I inferred that from the groups.io threads which mentioned this topic as well. I feel like having an open discussion about this topic there would be met with strong resistance.

A #hamradio operator that I know reached out to see how I was doing after the #NSF firings. I told him it was terrible that so many of my hard-working, high performing colleagues were fired.He then proceeded to tell me how there was so much fraud in the government and linked to some story about dead 150 year olds drawing social security and that those admins should be fired.Thanks for your concern, jacka$$.

@ai6yr do you have any Nomex thread? There is a market for wildland fire wear repair. With your new skills you make some people happy! I know someone who does this and makes custom Nomex as well. She is awesome- Bria at Incidental Wildland

@ai6yr @BakerRL75 @ingalls @ZLabe @AlaskaWx @DeniseG @lckrohjr Actually, stage 2 denialism appears not to be ignoring it, but acknowledging it as a "side effect of progress"

Another dark Friday at #NSF today. An entire Divison was RIF'd, many departures through the DRP and VERA programs, and IPA PD's like myself not being renewed. A massive but as yet not completely known restructuring of the agency is underway.If you are a PI or prospective PI, please know that we are trying our best to be responsive to your needs and to process awards and actions, but it is going to take *a lot* longer right now. Our workloads are going through the roof with these reductions. #Science #STEM #ScienceEd #STEMEd

I'm sitting in the Target parking lot watching a guy try to jump start a Chevy volt EV with a Tacoma. What could go wrong?

@ai6yr you know those habitrail tube play things in Chuck E Cheese? We were there for a birthday party when the girls were young and saw a boy standing at the top of one of those peeing down into the tube. We've never been back since

Though I'm sure the shooting of a prominent right-wing activist is overshadowing this, there was a #schoolshooting today in Evergreen #Colorado. Three students have been shot 😥

@douglasvb @ai6yr then you would just need one of those Ham Radio badges to go with it. I'm sure that would keep you safe and above board 🤣
