I'm naturally left handed but as a child of the 70's was taught to do most things right handed. As for your two "tests" I can do them both. For the ring finger tapping I'm about equal strength for both hands.

It took me a long time to figure out why my mother always says I tie my shoes backwards. Trying to tie my shoes as a right handed person would is challenging.

So why is this a story? Aren’t there a bazillion companies around the world that provide tech to various governments and their agencies?

No I use NextDNS

Why is it I can never load these archive sites?

I'm shocked this still exists.

Not everyone lives the same way. I am seriously considering a Mac Mini as my next upgrade yet I live in a RV and move frequently. Are there ways that I can keep the Mac mini powered while traveling.. sure, but why would/should I?

I was able get the story to load after pasting the url in another tab. Odd

Don’t discount 10m voice or digital modes. You can absolutely work the world with minimal equipment and power on 10m, especially when the sunspots are active.

“Vote with your fingers, space stuff however you want.”

I believe this is why I see an increasing lack of punctuation or capitalization in online discourse.

FAQ says Stripe payment links. I don't think that is phone billing.

> We use Stripe payment links to collect payments for postcards. In doing so, we are unable to see any sensitive information about your payment methods.

I'm wondering the same thing.

Agreed. I was looking for the same thing.

Dvorak is at least still around doing "stuff". I have never listened to his podcast.

November 31st doesn’t exist.

Some reason you cannot setup a Pihole instance and manually configure certain clients to use it and leave the others alone?

To me this is a description of a caring and responsible parent not a mental health issue. The world will never be full of just joy. Humans need to learn to cope and adapt.

What mental health issues do you think parents will have from their child’s grades?

You don’t consider the car reliable after two wear items wore out after 200000 miles? What are the other things about this car that cause you to question the reliability?

I have managed to do this without a directional antenna. I just kept trying. Using nothing more than a dual band vertical antenna in my attic with 50w power.

While Winlink can use the Pactor protocol, it is not required to use the system. Winlink is capable of using multiple protocols each of which fit to frequency, hardware and band conditions.

Be wary of Amazon closing your account due to the credit card charge back dispute.

I had Amazon close my account several years ago due to a credit card number change right when I made a purchase. It was hell getting them to re-open my account and take my payment for the product I ordered and received.

N4TQU checking in. I come from a family of hams, both my father and his father (sk). I've been licensed 26 years now. Just upgraded to General last summer.

Good to see other hams here on HN.

Very neat. I think that with some slight tweaks this could be very applicable to home owners associations. This model could also be offered as a hosted version like someone else commented.

(not that I really like HOA's all that much)
