There is a lot of men's college basketball on this week. The lesser conferences have been fun to watch. Most of them are ending up today or tomorrow with the major conferences crowning their champions Saturday. I've seen lots of teams that I've never seen before or don't remember them. The skill level is less with the cream athletes going to the major colleges. They are still fun to watch and for the most part the teams are of equal ability and the games competitive. I enjoy close games and the lesser conferences often only get their championship team in the NCAA Tournament that starts next week. With bragging rights and a chance to play in the big dance, they are do or die games. For many, it will be the last organized basketball they will ever play. It's a great level of basketball to watch.

The site claims this "irrevocably blocks" your right to run software you choose. This is where the "forum talk" about using a computer comes in.
The "Block" vs. the "Warning": Google says they aren't blocking unverified apps; they are just making them "High Friction." As I mentioned earlier, this means you can still install them, but you’ll face aggressive warnings and delays.

The petition is started by rival F-droid, take what they say with a pinch of salt.

99.99% of apps are on Google Play anyway, so why are you bothered? It's not like the Apple Store where it's prohibitively expensive for a developer to put an app there:

Google Play, £20 one off payment for unlimited apps.
Apple Store, £80 every year!!!!

i would love anyone that has the free time to try Shizuku and Canta (need both) together to degoogle a device and converse about results and discuss if this will work with future devices

I remember the good old day's when all you had to do is go buy a 5 dollar crystal from Radio Shack and plug it into your scanner ...

I had a digital trunking (receive only) scanner a long time ago, I was not smart enough to program it nor did I know the frequencies to program in.

A buddy who was a city fire department employee, kept it up to date for me, until he could not get the police freaks anymore ...

Now I use this but as stated, I can not hear the car transmissions in my city, nor does it track the laptop traffic.

some of the old radios (Tram, for example) often had a sliding frequncy adjustment (for sideband precise tuning) that could be modified.

the last guy i hung out with that used sideband had a laptop hooked up to his radio and the signal would go over the internet

i was like, 'why even have an antenna then?'
especially with 10m, when they only have to reach a repeater to get range

it was much more fun and educational to use 11m, because technically you can talk all over the world on the (then 5) 4 watts you are allowed

remember that the law says 4 watts, but that is at dead key without any modulation.
you are also allowed a certain amount of deviation in power due to meter inaccuracy and other reasons

i have an older CB that deadkeys about 4.25 w (as low as it will go) but will swing to 19w when you get 100% modulation

clean and loud, lol

Cobra 77x, circa 1977, one of the first 40 channel solid state radios for 11m

even has metal shielding around some of the adjustments inside it

i use an old full size VHS camera power suppy that i mounted right to the top of it and use it for a base station instead of a mobile

The forty one degrees feels cold compared to the low eighties of yesterday. It is to remain somewhat cool today with a high of fifty predicted. It is to be windy and very windy tomorrow.

Today was one of those lucky ducky days. I did my spring service on my mowers and equipment today. Normally, after sitting all winter, I have trouble with something. Not so today. Everything started and was more enthusiastic about mowing than I was. I changed oil and lubed the mowers and cleaned the air filters. I sharpened the blades and cleaned the decks. I even mowed my grass today and will start mowing Thursday. I'm more than ready!

That's excellent.
We have had such spring weather that I have already had to start up the irrigation system. It's an annual chore I dread, because something is always broken or messed up. Same deal this year, but at least it's all nozzle-related repairs, so I don't have to dig anything up.
An added benefit of living in big brother country (California) is that you can't buy regular in-ground sprinklers anymore. They have to be pressure-regulated to 30 pounds so they're about double the cost if you have to replace one. The huge downside is that old systems were based on higher pressure, so if you you have to replace one, it won't cover the same area due to the lowered pressure. Thanks, CA!

I've only found one 3/8 breaker bar. I'll keep looking. Don't give up.

After considering the new features of the S26 Ultra, our genuine need for them and how seldom we would use them, the Darling Bride and I decided that it's not worth the $700 (with trade-in) to get the new phone. I'll wait a few weeks and see what the Moto G Stylus (2026) will offer for a far lower price.

Becoming an adult in the 1980s meant being a little child in the mid-1960s, when women were obsessed with trying to hit the "perfect" measurement: 36-24-36. They would get together for "lunch" at Woolworth's and lunch would be a lettuce leaf with a slice of pineapple on it; a scoop of cottage cheese on that, with a cherry on top; and two slices of Melba toast. That was it... and either a Tab or Fresca to drink.

yeah my grandma had those in the cottage, her name was Melba hahhaa.

I filled up the car right after them bombing started, the next week prices were 50¢ a gallon higher !
