Ha, I found my multimeter from the Nineties, the one that could measure inductance and capacitance! But I am not sure if I remember how it works?I think that maybe it only measures L and C, from the slotted terminals. Like it was designed to measure discrete through-hole devices.I wonder if I have alligator clip jumpers around still? Somewhere?#hamradio #qrp

@futurebird @grumpybozo Guy at work telling about a groundskeeper was talking about geese, but not being a first-language speaker of english, did not know the word "geese". So the guy said something like..."They can be very angry... the...the... cobra-chickens..."That is perfect.

@PopeASDF @Geojoek Supposedly, Cold War American spooks listening in on the Soviet gerontocracy talking on car phones, heard mostly a bunch of old men talking about their health problems.Sometimes contemporary ham conversations remind me of that.It's okay. We all have bodies, which age and have problems,..

@stux Treat this more as an exercise: "how many things wrong in this image are there?"Treat this more as an exercise to find "how many things in this image are constructed to seize my gaze?"Moving on.

@futurebird Oh no! For your husband and the ant.One time while I was napping, a small ant wandered into my ear. It did not sting or bite, but I did wake up in a panic, yelling and hopping about. Because it was quite loud, crawling around in there.

@dragonfrog @futurebird @davidho That is wonderful. It's like that puzzle about the farmer with a boat who has to get a fox, chicken, and bag of grain across a river.But your friend gets to be all the things and go all the places and eat the donuts too.

@luckytran Driving down into the Los Angeles area in the early eighties. Down into the red haze, photo chemical smog, acrid to breathe.Remembering German cities of that time that stunk of diesel.Remembering cars of the seventies that only partially burned their gas, and chugged out hydrocarbon volatiles. It was gross.

@futurebird "The ants! They come crawling to me now. Because they've been getting away with bad things for so long, ripping us off! But Trump stoped it. Coming into our house, nobody knows where they are coming from!Taking tiny grains of sugar back to their nest. To their queen. I call her "Queenie". She likes those sugar granules. Nobody uses that word now. But the ripoff stops today! I put a strong tariff on ants. If Little Queenie wants our sugar, she's going to have to make a deal!"

@futurebird It is useful and so wretched, but just watching the DARVO bellicose bellowing of those seeking total power, provides answers. Every accusation is a confession.They use daily distributed terror to achieve power. It's a very long play.

@futurebird Once, parked in neighborhood to pick up our kid from school, startled to see cop car rocket down street, whip around corner. More. 10 cars, lights on, sirens off.School loudspeaker blares "Lockdown! #lockdown Got out of car, confused, shit, where's my kid?Called spouse, described situation.She cries, gasping urgently,"You hear #gun fire ?!?"Then makes a wordless terrified keening, scared maybe our kid might be shot.Who makes us live this way?(no shooter. kids ok.)

@tomasino Whether I like it or not, my experience is rooted in my own body and my own mind. In my own abilities. In my own limits.That's fine. I don't need to compare myself to anyone.And the onions in our garden are not judgmental about my gardening skills.
