Not sure if i will. At a minimum i will use it to shave the space around my beard.
But even with a beard I usually shave it off every month or two and then let it grow back. When it gets too long it annoys me and I like the do over... I may stay clean shaven for a while this time though, I dunno. I think im just bored :)
@certainlytwice I actually thought i did a great job, felt smooth and everything... then i notice im bleeding :)
These are from Vikings Blade, ill try the ones you suggest
@AE4WX IMO APRS has more potential since JS8 is just a modulation, APRS is a layer on top... So it can use FX.25 of JS8 modulation or anything but add all the automation and informational features of APRS on top of that.
@AE4WX I guess it depends.. JS8Call has its advantages, as does APRS.
One thing id like to do, if i could get some people on board, is transmitting AX.25 format packets with a JS8Call modulation.
@SteelFolk indeed, these are also a bit specially made as they have a platinum coating on the outside for corrosion resistance... remarkably thin also. very nice.
@waltercool I always had a gruff beard, so shaving at all is a bit out of the ordinary for me
lol!
Our neighbor just found #Washy on Google Maps in our street
We now have evidence of him crossing the road he should not be on

@ingalls I am yes.
@AE4WX im writing my own ecosystem .. its all open source. Eventually I'd like it to become a next-gen APRS
I spent an hour with the toddler and infant watching https://youtube.com/@msrachel. The 6-month old liked this, too. Definitely made me think of @DrFreemo #BabyTalk #ChildAboos
@Pat You havent heard me mention any names of anyone worth supporting yet have you? lol
> If you have heard him say racist things in private, then I guess you can make an assessment based on that. I've only been around him once and I don't know him personally, so all I can go by is what he's said and done publicly.
Yea and I understand this will only effect my personal opinion. Which is why in these conversations I mostly stick to what is publicly seen and keep what ive seen in private and cant prove out of the convo. But it is important to point out that im influenced byt hese things personally
> Also, for me deeds carry much more weight than some carefully crafted political apology.
Nah, you need both... **especially** when it is in his best interest to hide his past and hope everyone forgets, which is what most people do. An apology would hurt his chances of be president, thats the ONLY reason its authentic. If it was recent then i would agree, the apology is just expected and wouldnt mean much.. but in this situation the apology would actually be authentic and meaningful, which is why he isnt giving one.
> But as I said, from now on I'm going purely on what gets done while officeholders are in office, not what they say. They haven't even come close to doing half of the stuff I want, so no incumbent will get my vote.
I care about the whole package.. most of what a president does we will never see, so we cant judge him on most of his actions. Which is why its so important I trust them and think they are a decent person. Because their actions are all a parade, the ones we see anyway.
> (Also, Biden helped kill about 800,000 Americans while he was in office during the pandemic, so...)
Thats a bit nuanced.. but I tend to agree that most leaders really didnt handle the pandemic well and Biden is no exception.
@admitsWrongIfProven the environment leading him or anyone to be emotional is perfectly understandable.. and being stressed is too.. but you are still responsible for how you act... and look if he came back later and apologized he would be good withme of course, partly because i consider the environment. But a person still should be judged on how they act.
Claiming "I only got drunk because the environment im in is a frat house, so its ok that i killed someone when driving" doesnt work either... your environment, while may shed some light on actions, doesnt get you out of your actions in my eyes.
