    The Paranormal, UFO's, and Mysteries of the Unknown

    Still not a sliver of evidence. If Biden could be drugged into 30 seconds of coherency, it would be good of him to issue an order to bring this shit forward. Instead, I'm sure his family is looking into whether there is some money-making angle on it. Show us the craft or shut the fuck up...

    HAM Radio - An Old White Sausage Party on the Airwaves

    I don't know anything about that shit really but study material and one of the questions on the exam indicated that if you're operating legally, interference caused to a neighbor's reception should be a problem on their end. What that would be, I don't know. Also I ordered a 5/8 2m foldable...

    Finding a body

    If they had 4 HR dogs in there all day and didn't find anything yet, that is pretty interesting. Are you sure they were all HR? Did they get a direction of travel or anything like that? They're probably using simplex but I'll check EchoLink to see if there is a repeater in the area with...

    You could probably listen to their radio traffic on a scanner app.

    You said he drove to this park so I assume they know where his car is? Is anyone searching right now?

    Finding a body

    The CERT teams I have seen are quite a bit lower on gear and training than a typical SAR team. We're registered on SARTech levels through a national org called NASAR. That and the team requirements is an unbelievable amount of training. Orienteering, mapping, fine search techniques, survival...

    Finding a body

    1. The three types area "Area Search", "Human Remains" and "Trailing". Area search is just like it sounds. They work off lead and can find, any person in the area, a specific person in an area, or a "large source" of human remains. HR dogs also work off lead and can find "Small Source" such...

    HAM Radio - An Old White Sausage Party on the Airwaves

    Sounds like you need to move to a different neighborhood. The whip antenna I put on my HT is marginal for area repeaters so I ordered a full 2m foldable that should arrive today or tomorrow. At 6dBi I think it should be good enough for my conditions. I joined some local nets, and some not...

    Finding a body

    If they're like our teams, they will be on site this afternoon. Given that the trail is still relatively new, pretty good chance they will find him on the first day and save you having to go through it. Let us know how it turns out.

    Finding a body

    Good luck. In my experience, LE searches are often (usually?) not successful. They're pressed for time and resources, their dogs aren't necessarily trained for this type of search, etc. It's a common thing, particularly for despondent males, to go out in the woods and do harm to...

    Finding a body

    Just want to say that I am on a volunteer Search and Rescue team and we handle these types of scenarios all the time. Google the teams in your area and contact them. If you can, grab something he has worn to give a scent to the dogs. They'll likely be on site within hours and find him pretty...

    Starship Troopers: Extermination - early access

    Been playing it with some friends. Pretty good time but still needs some fleshing out as it becomes repetitive. With friendly fire being a thing, I am super surprised that there has not been any trolling. People seem to genuinely try to work together to win the mission.

    HAM Radio - An Old White Sausage Party on the Airwaves

    I recently took the Technician's exam and just got my callsign. I volunteer on a Search and Rescue team and it was a requirement for the radios we use. The team assigned me a nice little Japanese portable and I upgraded the rubber duck to a 15". I spent some time configuring for some area...

    Star Citizen Online - The search for more money

    I know some people who play it and I decided to buy it against my better judgement, despite watching them stream bugs. I finally made it to my hangar but I think another ship spawned in my hangar and my ship was impounded for crashing into it as I was trying to play around with the systems...

    Star Citizen Online - The search for more money

    My point wasn't to compare scale but to say that these games companies have made plenty of money and can't finish the game. The core 3D engine isn't even on the radar of things that disappoint about Bannerlord. In fact, it's one of the few things that I would say is pretty good; other than...

    Star Citizen Online - The search for more money

    A reddit post showed up on my feed this morning talking about a new release. People seemed to think there was a push for a little bit of stability because there is a new ship sale coming up. I was astounded at all of the shit they were talking about being broken. Sounds like they need a lot...

    Star Citizen Online - The search for more money

    Is anyone still sinking money into this game? Watched a friend of mine play this for like 10 minutes the other day and I saw trains not showing up when they should, terminal not working, ship bugging out and getting destroyed in the hangar, lag/performance issues. Looks like a mess. That...

    Zombies digging through soil, concrete, and steel with their bare hands is pants on head retarded and makes the game much less enjoyable.

    Total Conflict: Resistance - New Strategy/FPS/RTS Game

    Yeah I was kinda bummed to see that it is generally regarded as abandoned now. They had some interesting concepts going and I honestly didn't think it needed a restart.

    Total Conflict: Resistance - New Strategy/FPS/RTS Game

    Interesting. I am going to take a look at this. When I was waiting on Bannerlord, Freeman: Guerilla Warfare did something like this and it scratched an itch. They stopped development to supposedly start over but last they posted anything was about a year ago.

    What are your thoughts on why there is a lack of cooperation? 1) Worried about exposure of illicit activities? 2) Protection of collection methods and capabilities? 3) Protection of black projects? 4) Aliens are here and we don't want to signal that we know it have craft? 5) Aliens are here we...

    The Paranormal, UFO's, and Mysteries of the Unknown

    There has been a lot of talk about this. It is not very sexy but the word is that this is a recurring type. The real question is why did they relase it? Slow drip reveal or psyop to disguise something?

    Wartales

    I have played both Battle Brothers and WarTales and WarTales was much more to my liking. I did feel that it was a little too difficult to keep enough cash flowing to pay the team and that made it feel like I was constantly chasing wages instead of progressing. Sounds like they have made some...

    @Mist what is it with the chatbot fascination? Personally, I find the art generators more interesting and impressive. The fact that Zuck is pivoting from pissing away money on VR to pissing it away chasing far more talented AI orgs tells me all I need to know about where it is headed.

    I find working on embedded systems to be far more interesting than another bullshit application of some sort. Something about holding, interacting with, driving, flying the product is very rewarding. And, it's actually easier in some ways than other toes of development. The OS's, libraries...

    I've been doing remote embedded since about 2016. Got all the equipment I need, etc. It has its challenges but it 100% beats going into an office.

    I know several people who have worked directly with Elon and they all report him to be a maniac and/or asshole. Although, if you have ever seen the video of him telling the story of when SpaceX was on their last leg, he seems to be sincerely emotional about it. He's certainly doing his part...

    Yeah I've interviewed with SpaceX and been called by some other space companies but as a software/firmware person you'll inevitably have to move to some liberal shithole. I don't think there is any amount of money for which I would move to LA, SF, Seattle, etc.

    Still employed, but I have been thinking more seriously about my next move. Can we add recruiters to the list of useless people in organizations? 90% of them are fucking awful. 99.99999% if you go international and count all of the Pajeets calling about random jobs. I would imagine most...

    Ah, MFF, the guy who never met a conspiracy theory he didn't like. Tell me, what do you consider to be the most compelling evidence that these sightings do not have prosaic explanations. Believe me, I would love nothing more than to see an actual extra-terrestrial or super-terrestrial craft...
