How to keep house while drowning by KC Davis: how it's not morally wrong to have a messy living space, and how to keep it livable even when you feel like you're overwhelmed.

I have ADHD and depression, this book was pivotal in helping me get out of the stereotypical "depression apartment" situation.

As a (legal) immigrant with a vanity plate... lmao.

I was going to suggest The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, after all, they will already have a towel.

How are you hanging your antenna? Dipoles for 20m and lower are typically set up in an Inverted V configuration, which should work fine with the 10m mast you already have.

As someone who used to troubleshoot an extremely complex system for my day job, I can say I've worked my way across the entire bell curve.

The things is, if you try to parse html with a regex, you will always be able to construct valid html that will break it, no matter how complex your regex becomes.

We met on OkCupid. We were on opposite sides of the Atlantic, but she had a friend on this side, and they were comparing the "weird" profiles they were each finding. OkCupid has a "if you liked this person, you might like these more" section, and I appeared in there. She wasn't really looking to date anyone, but she clicked, messaged me, and we clicked. I moved to the US to be with her after a two-year long distance relationship, and we'll be celebrating our ten year wedding anniversary next year.

United. Twice. They damaged my luggage both times.

I've only flown Delta and American since then.

That's not a hitch, it's a lashing, if I understand you correctly.

Field Day is, more or less, amateur radio's yearly open house. Clubs around the country will be setting up in parks to demonstrate their ability to make contacts in "less than ideal" conditions (which basically means "outside, without mains power").

If you're at all curious about radio communication, you should find your nearest site and drop in.
