They keep saying there’s a rice shortage in Japan. I call BS. Here’s 100kg on a cart at our local JA

My wife found her bag she used when she was in high school. Good stuff!

Getting off the hamster wheel and out of the cage — there’s a whole new world out there. That’s bitcoin!
Wait. Did it reach 100k!? lol. So many posts!

4. The hamstudy.org app has recently been updated. They did a really nice job with it. It’s a couple of fiat dollars, I think you will find it is worth it. https://hamstudy.org/appstore

Agreed. The W4EEY videos are the best. I only found them when studying for my Extra but I wish I would have watched them for my tech and general. Top notch stuff.
And yeah, hamstudy.org is definitely the way to go when studying. Beyond anything, it gives you the confidence that you’re ready to take the test. It’s also important to point out that in study mode, there’s an information section when you click in the upper right corner after answering a question that gives you info about the question along with some ways to remember the answer.
Edamame
Dried squid/fish
Roasted kabocha
Watch your directional antennas, Ham radio friends. Tropical storm Yagi is speeding up and could form into a typhoon.

Getting to know nostr. #introductions
Not sure why I didn’t know about this amazing thing before. I got off of centralized social media in 2020 and 2 months ago I wanted to see what all the Twitter/X fuss was about. Wow, what a huge pile of steaming shit. It’s definitely not something that appeals to me. Then I found nostr and I’m reminded of the early 90s with lots of cool new fun things to play with. Going down the rabbit hole. See ya there!
