Congrats! So well deserved 🙌
Regular phone is stuck with one carrier tho. This uses multiple
Some won’t but I imagine some will and these things use all the cell towers/companies so if some are down these radios still work.
If it all goes down then you shit outta luck.
Ham is still the goal but these appear to be an awesome backup.
Yes sorry I meant something as simple to use, with little to no learning curve.
Long distance ham requires more equipment and loads of experience and knowledge of transmission laws and still isn’t guaranteed to work depending on current conditions, is that right?
Yes, but as emergency back-up for communications with family in other states or countries, it is the best option I have found. Do you know of anything better?
Anyone used these? Seem too good to be true! Encrypted comms and works coast-to-coast (and international if you request the international units). Fee is $20 per year https://echoradios.com/products/echo-radios-ptt-walkie-talkie-product?variant=47066123665565

On the contrary ostriches may be some of the best birds out there, able to create the antibodies for numerous diseases, just like nostr is the antibody to centralized social media platforms 😊 https://www.queencreektribune.com/community/arizona-ostrich-rancher-makes-flock-available-for-research/article_197d4820-6511-4cf4-9cba-a9f0ae4ae682.html

ICYMI here’s a tutorial I made based on the method nostr:npub1337xxyne0pw52zgd984xqqs2q7qhqpt7phhn7xp6t9yt406vrvescdpkdt taught me, to roll your own seed 🎲

Thoughts that sprang forth reading the above…(to be clear, I heard there’s been some stuff up recently nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s but as I’ve barely been on here I have no idea what it was all about, so this is only in direct response to your note here)
Yes to being authentic. At the same time there’s always room to grow and it can’t happen if only surrounded by those that align. In my experience I’ve grown more listening/pondering/learning from those who at first did *not* align.
Most everything we think and believe is a story we were told, usually before we were cognizant, and to grow we need to make room for the stories to evolve and sometimes to change completely.
All that said, things have changed. We used to grow mostly from books, direct experiences and the people around us. Social media is a new beast and it can be brutal. It is important that we are conscious of what we feed (literally) ourselves through this medium, dialing it up and down as needed for our mental and emotional health. Only we know where we are hiding, where it’s too much, where we are ready for the discomfort that might propel our growth.
Once we have a family, our first responsibility is to them, and we gotta do what it takes to be solid and strong before submitting oneself to the wild rollercoaster of the online world.
If anyone read this far I’d be curious to hear your thoughts.
Peace.
I use Damus and Primal, and something I repeatedly notice is Damus loads even on one bar of cell service whereas Primal needs a good connection to load/refresh.
