[mild cw: apocalypse] [The Prepared; Wayback] (by Josh Centers) Ever wanted to email people over a radio transceiver? (Since you're reading *my* blog, I'm guessing you probably have.) Turns out it's possible! Takes hundreds of dollars of equipment, a ham license, a pain-in-the-ass setup process, and an agreement not to use encryption of any kind when communicating this way, but if you're sufficiently determined it *can* be done!
(Am *I* sufficiently determined? Not at the moment. A future me with less on her plate might be, though, if a better method hasn't come along by then.)
There is a blanket [cw: illness] on the rest of this post.

Is the food any good?)

Jess: Mindless Matters is an 18+ podcast that features live inductions. Please, do not listen while you are driving. Do not listen while you are doing important things that [need necessary focus?], don't endanger yourself...you are *responsible* for ensuring your own safety.
Sam: It's called "not safe for work" for a reason!

Enter Wartales, then, which maddens me with the urge to append "woo-hoo" to its name every time I type it.

In other words, the $1.50 hot dog is synonymous with the Costco brand. The money-losing frankfurter is a part of the company’s identity. It is a staple for customers to recharge after buying five pounds of Cinnamon Toast Crunch, 50 rolls of toilet paper and a coffin.

Other flubbed enforcement actions were taken against the accounts of [...] Mr. Zuckerberg himself, whose live-streamed employee Q&A had been suppressed after an algorithm classified it as containing misinformation.
