  • Seems like the perfect day to ask: Muricans, what's your dream country to expatriate to? Non-Muricans, what's the thought on accepting US refugees?

    跳过

  • That is true, but I would really like to live in the region and Jordan is probably the safest bet. Otherwise Morocco is the smart choice for arabic speaking nation tolerant of Americans with a reasonable margin for safety. I won't be leaving anytime soon either way, this is more of a dream living abroad answer for right now. I intend to vote, protest and be a pain in the ass until they drive me out.

  • Morocco or Jordan. Been trying to learn Arabic for a few years and would love to be forced to take it more seriously. Mostly can just read the letters. They are relatively safe countries that are in areas of the world I have studied extensively. Also means closer travel to many of the old cities I want to visit.

  • Im reading The Bridge on the Drina, and the first Ahriman omnibus from the warhammer universe right now. Id recommend the first to anyone, its an absolute classic. The second I would recommend to anyone who likes warhammer or weird sorcerer bull shit.

  • This is more of a face to face, or at least voice call conversation. Yeah it sucks interrupting his coping method, but it's just not a split focus type conversation and sometimes you have to be a little uncomfortable during a difficult conversation. He can't really opt out of it either by ignoring it. It's a conversation about his behavior and how it impacted you. If you want, you can let him know you need to talk and schedule it. Some people do better with time to emotionally prepare. You can do this, it's always harder to get started than keep it going on these things. If he literally has no time in the foreseeable future to talk to his partner about something important to them, he doesn't really have time for a relationship. Nobodies patience is endless, and you shouldn't hold it against yourself if you find your limit.

  • Spending all of your time on a hobby is not reasonable, even because of mental health issues. Sure, short stints can be managed from relationship to relationship, but everyone has a need to talk and spend time with their partner. Nobody can sustain being completely ignored forever. You need to have a talk, establish an understanding of what you both need out of a relationship, how much time spent together is the key topic of conversation. It may just be that your hobbies, coping strategies, relationship preferences and lifestyles are incompatible for a long term relationship. You need to talk to figure this out, understand if it feels more like a moment of extreme stress or more like something he is happy with just remaining that way forever. My wife and I both love video games. We play hours and hours of it together. Just got her into mechwarrior online and she loves it. I still can't game all the time, we have both have had to put the game down to spend time with the other. It's just a normal part of being in an adult relationship, you have to find a balance, and that balance is usually established by a series of conversations about expectations, needs and boundaries. Sometimes the balance just comes naturally, but you can't expect it to always work that way or stay that way. Lastly, its pretty rude to act like your partner is being annoying when wanting to spend time together. Sometimes people are rude to each other when we shouldn't be, but how we take responsibility for that when confronted about it says a lot about how much we care about our impact on the person we hurt.

  • What are some good uses for smart phones?

    跳过

  • I use one called W1ANT Satellite Tracker. I don't think it has a camera feature. The fun for me is locating the sat and following it from a map. In practice this involves me looking like a lunatic running around my apartment complex with my HT held sideways, staring up at the sky.

  • Ham radio is licensed by the country you live in. In the US, the basic technician license is very cheap and the test to get it is fairly easy with an abundance of online materials, including answer keys, to study. The reason these licenses are important is because ham operators need to operate within legally defined band plans, or radio frequency allocation guidelines. Emergency services, search and rescue, your nations military, all use specific radio bands given to them by the government. The license helps teach you how to avoid interfering with someone who can get you into serious trouble. It also helps keep you safe, and requires you to learn some basic electrical knowledge that frankly will be mildly useful the rest of your life. Amateur radio is a really fun skill that isn't that hard to learn. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask and if you want specific information about your countries licensing, Im happy to help look it up.

    EDIT: Just to add, you can always listen without a license. That's why scanners exist, but you need a license once you hit the button to transmit on a ham radio frequency.

  • I use it for a lot, but one I haven't seen mentioned. I use it to support my ham radio hobby. I have a satellite tracker for when I want to contact radio sats, a solar weather app for checking HF propagation and I have echolink which let's me connect to hundreds of radio repeaters around the globe.

    *HF = high frequency, its a section of radio frequencies that bounce off the atmosphere. Let's you talk worldwide if you have the right frequency and conditions. Solar weather significantly impacts how radio waves interact with the upper atmosphere.

  • Literally every part of this story being pushed by media is an obvious willful lie. They scoured the internet, could find no proof he ever said their bull shit lie. Now the story is suddenly, why won't he say these exact words that mean the same thing as a sentiment he already shared in this interview. You have to be such a gullible rube to fall for this crap. If the dude ever said anything like this, it would be playing non-stop on everything.

    US question: Would you approve of your state seceding from the Union, declaring independence from the United States? I think California, Oregon, and Washington would, and probably Colorado too.

    跳过

  • No, I think the union should be preserved. Losing the long war to confederates who want to re-segregate the country isn't an option. We shouldn't abandon the people in those states to whatever violence republicans can justify.
