Can someone explain the disparity in price between shipping something and having something shipped?
If I pay a hundred bucks, I can get a year of shipping for free. If i place an order over twenty bucks or so, shipping is free.
If a take a small package to UPS, it costs $19 to ship it.

I finally got an #APRS station on the air. I have used my HT for years, but I finally have a base station.
I'd appreciate test messages or reports of seeing me online!

So, I got my hands on a PakRatt 232 MB modem. I need to fire it up and figure out how to get it on #DTN . This Digital Traffic Network is a complete mystery to me.

For those of you who do the #AmateurRadio and #MorseCode thing, I will be NCS on the Ohio Slow Net tomorrow at 1800 EST on 3535.35. I will slow to whatever speed you need.
If you let me know that you will be checking in ahead of time, I will prepare a #radiogram for you to receive over the air.

I use AI to create #bash scripts, cuz there is NO WAY i can remember how to do that, and I don't want to spend all day googling stuff.
Recently, I am using @perplexityai.bsky.social for my AI #chatbot.

I have been using #orgmode for maybe 20 years or so. Recenly switched to #AppleNotes for a bit, then to #AnyType for the quick, easy, and massive flexibility it affords.
I have not tried #Notion at all. Is there anyone who has used AnyType and switched to Notion?
Any insights?

On days like this, we should measure the temperature in Kelvin.
It's 250K today!
Makes going outside seem less terrifying

One thing about #Jira that drives me completely nut is that you cannot rearrange the order of subtasks within a task.

When used record and cd stores started to pop up, and the prices were super cheap, I would sometimes buy albums based on their album cover only?
