    Edit: by the way, when I saw the comic it kept in my mind the idea of "this bikini seems too conservative for the character, no?"... then I remember that I live in Brazil where woman use quite revealing clothes in the beach.

  • We know constant plugs are annoying, but please try to take a different perspective here:

    Although millions of people read our comics every week, it's still difficult for creators to make a living. We don't get any money directly from Instagram or any other platform we post on.

    If we wouldn’t have a Patreon page, we’d have to get real jobs and couldn't make comics at all.

  • So when you see plugs from us or any other artist, please be kind and remember we're just trying to keep creating. Thank you for understanding!

    How do you lose an election, and why is Democracy failing in America?
    " If it is not progressive, it will be conservative. "

    I have been saying this for years because I understand that the voting mentality, wants, and needs of the population have changed. To spell it out: if you're a wishy-washy moderate, you're unelectable — only people who focus on politics instead of people believe otherwise.

    The Governor of California, Gavin Newsom, is one of those wishy-washy moderates — or, as I call them, corporate conservative Democrats. This is the man, for example, who wants to add age verification in every OS (operating system), including Linux. That is not the only problem with him, but it is the most recent one I can recall. The point is, he is not a progressive, and he is not going to win reelection.

    Many people don't vote anymore. I do, I assume you do, and perhaps many people on the Fediverse do — but many don't. My sister and her husband, for example, don’t. I sometimes question the value of doing so if the end result is the same. Yes, I said the same — and we can argue about the differences, because there are differences — but at the end of the day, we still end up in the same place we don’t want to go. The only difference is whether we get there fast or slow.

    MAGA is simply awful — there is no denying that — but they are giving their supporters exactly what they want. Meanwhile, you have a wishy-washy moderate who will work with these people while claiming unity is more important than change or accountability. So ultimately, we go down that same path by different means, and that’s the path we want to avoid.

    People argue that we have to block that awful outcome — but block what? We're still going there. These people will compromise with Nazi pedophiles and tell us it is for the good of the country. And so many people no longer feel enthusiastic or motivated to support any of this.

    And we know “next time” is a lie that never comes. It’s what they told my grandpa his whole life, and he passed away at 103 years old waiting for that make-believe “next time.” My parents are in their 70s and late 60s, I’m in my 40s, most people's kids are in their 20s, and the next generation to come is being told the same lie. We’ve all caught on by now.

    We need someone who truly is one of us and represents the will of the people. The will of the people is both conservative and progressive at this time in history. Conservatives are being told they can have exactly what they want — when they want it, how they want it — and those corporate conservative Democrats, who are not progressive, will give it to them because they claim unity is more important than change and accountability.

    If it is not progressive, it will be conservative. I guarantee it.

    Dopo due anni di QRT ho rispolverato le mie due radioline portatili.La stazione fissa può attendere, magari quando andrò in pensione (e quindi forse MAI).Primo step: fare una verifica delle impostazioni dei ponti in memoria. Scaricato l'utile (anche se pieno di errori, ma frequentemente aggiornato) documento di IK2ANE (single point of failure, in questo caso), ma tant'è che si sbatte.Rispolverato anche il mio script python per l'importazione in un database SQLite (meglio).#hamradio

    40m came alive in the last hour, as we started to get close to evening, and as 20m was frankly played out.I was going to plug my rig into battery, but then saw in the rules that your computer has to be on battery power as well, and I didn't have a way to plug my shack computer into battery, so I didn't bother running the rig off battery.Then when I went to submit my log, I saw that actually your logging computer can be mains powered, so the rules must have been about the computer you are using for digital modes. Which I wasn't. I did all CW, no multi-mode multipliers for me!So I could have gotten another multiplier for my 2-point CW QSOs for my solar-charged battery, as well as the 4x QRP multiplier. I could have had 510 points instead of 408 points. Which doesn't matter at all because I'm not actually in any form of contention for anything; I worked only about five hours thanks to all the winter storm prep. And even if I'd worked the whole time I still wouldn't be competitive. I only hunted, I didn't run.And running only 5W, I didn't even make the antenna wire warm enough to melt the ice that was covering it.Maybe next year I'll run instead of hunting. But probably still QRP, and maybe actually in the field...#WinterFieldDay #HamRadio

    Today I released version 0.7 of my print-in place single-paddle Morse code key.This will function as release notes:The most important practical change is that the slot in the lever for the stabilizer bar is taller, so that it doesn't bind. Previously, it sometimes bound depending on luck, and when it didn't bind, needed to be greased with a light lubricant.The most important user-facing change is updated build instructions, now with pictures. Previously, the instructions were just text.The most important developer-facing change is that it was rebuilt with FreeCAD 1.1RC, and all recalculation errors and warnings were removed. previously, it had quit building correctly due to changes in FreeCAD.The side contacts are better aligned with the common/ground screw in the lever when using thin ring terminals. (It was previously optimized for thick terminals.)The rear stabilizing bar was never necessary and was just extra weight and ugly complexity, so it has been removed.The spring radius is no longer an explicit parameter.I added more links to sources for hardware.This is getting close to what I would consider a polished, 1.0 release.As always, I crave feedback. If you build this, I want to hear what went well and what, if anything did not.#MorseCode #HamRadio

    We had a surprise opportunity to go to the beach this weekend, near Southport NC. I have the weird preference to sling my hammock under the house, between the clotheslines, instead of sleeping indoors. Half camping? I use a big rubbermaid box as my "suitcase" and put my shoes on it overnight... It was cold at night, but an underquilt and reflecting bubble insulation in the hammock, with an inflatable mattress on top of my down sleeping bag, kept me cozy.My wife and I went to Fort Fisher State Recreation Area and set up a pair of #HamRadio transceivers. Because this weekend was SSB CQ World Wide DX contest, she couldn't find an empty space to call CQ, and had trouble breaking through pileups, so after a few QSOs she decided it wasn't fun any more and read a book. It was not the CW CQ DX contest weekend, so I successfully activated US-3842 with Morse code. Then back at the beach house, I kept ducking out onto the porch to hunt #POTA operators using CW, with a 33' random wire antenna hanging from a spiderbeam pole, connected to the 9:1 port on my tiny little homebrew QRP dual-port unun. One of those QSOs was with the ham who sold me my KX3 that I used to make the contact! 🎉I gave the random wire a workout with QSOs on 40, 30, 20, 17, and 15 meters. Tried hunting with no luck on 80, 12, and 10 meters.The wind eventually broke the antenna wire off the terminal, so I'll want to fix that before going out again. But at the beach, it was easy to bodge that by stripping back a bit of insulation and screwing the bare wires in the terminal.
