Full Moon Shenanigans

From a reader:

"Don't you think you are out of line for what you said regarding the emission testing? It's sad for those people who lost their jobs and those who will soon lose theirs."

These people had over three and a half years head start. The legislation to eliminate emission testing in Tennessee passed in mid 2018. The program did not end until January 2022 (or February for Davidson County residents). Furthermore, the EPA made their ruling on August 17, 2021. This means there was 5 months head-start of knowing exactly when your job will be gone. 

This author has lost his job on more than one occasion. The typical situation is finding out today that today will be your last day. I wish I'd had months or years of advance notice!

Thankfully for them, these people are also entering the best job market in my lifetime. An ounce of effort should be greatly rewarded.

    I just plain don't like crooks, and emissions testing in TN was crooked from the start. It was never about "clean air", or anything else except money.
    Consider: if your 'check engine' light were on, they would automatically fail your vehicle, without sampling. On some cars (GM cars of the early aughts come to mind), just having the gas cap not tightened sufficiently would cause the check-engine light to come on. It was all about stealing money. Screw every one of those people, and their families as well.

Do not Get your Ham License.

This author has many preppers for friends, due to obvious reasons . One of the topics that comes up often is comms in an emergency situation. I have decided the hill I will stop on is local comms - as can be had via normal handheld walkies or similar. To get more range, ham radio is about the only civilian option, and I will NOT be going that way.  It is a protest. And this is why .  From the tweets : "I hate to be discouraging, but I must remind everyone that even in a time of emergency, unlicensed operation is against FCC regulations. I know that personally I've received a few tattle-telling messages from hams over the past few days who have reported to me people sharing life-saving information over the radio without a license.  This is a constant reminder that for the overwhelming majority of the ham radio hobby, there is NO emergency so severe that unlicensed operation will be accepted. Sure, net control for formal nets can operate under emergency rules, but for most ...

Reposted from Social Media: By Robyn Eshelby-Theart. ====== I'm a qualified dog behaviourist. Not only that, but I spend my entire life working with dogs. It's literally my 24/7/365 as, beyond being a behaviourist, I have a doggy daycare and boarding facility. My job is dogs. Tonight I will share something with you. And for the sake of all innocent animals, I hope that you read it. PIT BULLS ARE NOT PACK DOGS. PIT BULLS ARE NOT MULTI-PET-HOME DOGS.   Now before everyone launches into the "I know a nice pit bull who nurses kittens and walks around with a duckling on his shoulder" stories... Everyone knows a nice pit bull. If everyone here was to post their nice Pitbull story, within a minute or two people who truly understand the breed would refer 100+ pit bulls currently sitting in rescue within 50km of Fourways, with profiles on social media, whose only crime was being true to their breed design. Hundreds of Pit bulls around the country, possibly thousands in fact, ...
