When asked by journalists who tracked them down if they feel in any way bad about squeezing the last retirement savings out of some lonely dude with their damsel in distress scam and possibly pushing them into homelessness, that was pretty much their justification.

So many different names and professions, still the first 26 are all the same guy. Artist wasn't feeling like being creative I guess...

Heinrich appears to be setting Pflastersteine (paving stones) into a road, which is what a Pflasterer would do.

(I don't think plasterer existed as a German term.)

Back to the roots? "Katholik, der bedauerlicherweise nicht von der Sünde der Homosexualität abkommt" war doch die Masche, mit der er durch erzkonservativ-religiöse Podcasts tingelte bevor er bei Gamergate aufgesprungen ist, wenn ich mich richtig erinnere.

You could get an optional auxiliary fuel heater for some higher class cars that would provide heating separate from the engine (and might even have a remote control).
Great thing about EVs is that that's unnecessary and the spoils of a luxury car are basically standard issue.

ITYM publication ban on all reviewers who got caught out by these prompts.

Half of them are variations on "we put live voltage on the exposed parts of appliances and you better make sure you're not grounded before touching them" and I guess we should be thankful for modern regulations.

And stay away from the people who use 3 contact grounded to 2 contact plug converters.

Was it actually her hips that filed those taxes? No? Then this outrageous hip slander is entirely uncalled for.

I remember there was a whole account dedicated to creating and posting these regularly, but I can't seem to find it here or on mastodon. Unless I misremember and I only followed it on Twitter.

All that was for UHF though, long haul airliners also have HF radios that can also tune in amateur radio bands. Some pilots who are also hams use that to make contacts sometimes when there's nothing else going on in the cockpit on long flights.

There's always other planes and ATC that could be listening, on the emergency frequency they definitely always do.

There's all kinds of radios used, some of them can do AM and be tuned to aviation frequencies (but most likely locked out of transmitting, because very illegal!).

But of course they'd have to happen to be listening in on that frequency by sheer luck.
May 13, 2025 at 6:31 PM
Aviation radios are made for that purpose alone, they can't be tuned to anything else (without hardware modification).

Additionally they do straight AM which is uncommon in amateur radio. For analog voice usually SSB would be used.

The regulator acts essentially as a resistor that takes just the value needed to drop the voltage to the desired level. That is, it converts the excess to heat. Higher input voltage means more excess and therefore more heat. But the output is a fixed voltage.

In typical linear power supplies you have a (big and heavy) transformer and rectifier that generates a low voltage DC from line AC, followed by a linear voltage regulator that generates the desired target voltage from that.
May 8, 2025 at 10:32 PM
There's of course a real reason not to continue using the CBM linear power supplies for their 8 bit computers: they didn't have protection circuits that would prevent a failing voltage regulator from potentially frying your computer.

So instead of 5 V, as the story goes, they now deliver 10% more and would be outside the specs. But no, that's not how voltage regulators in power supplies work. They regulate voltage. That's their one job.

Pffft looks like someone isn't first rate recruitment material,*I've* been getting these for years!

The per item thing is "per postal item containing goods" as I read it. This would mean per package, right?
