That’s what happened to me. Used one for the first time at a hotel — bought one not long after and will never go back. Got like a $30 one and am still using it over 4 years later. I’ll probably upgrade when I have the extra money, realizing just now how long it’s been since I got it

Check out “slow scan tv” if you haven’t already. I have my amateur license and was surprised to learn all of the ways in which radio waves can be utilized

Just don’t underestimate them… I hear they “kick like a mule” and “bite like a crocodile”

Shit, a standard thread feels natural to me, but a left hand thread still fucks my life up sometimes — trying to notice what’s going on before I strip it.

My grill can connect to those camping propane tanks, but it’s threaded opposite… gets me every time

Clockwise and counterclockwise may be more intuitive for some people. Is the clock-hand (wrench) going forward in time, or backwards. But I don’t know of any quick rhyme for that

I can carry 3 full pint glasses in one hand and 2 in the other. If they’re empty, I can carry 4 in one hand and 3 in the other. It comes in handy more than I would expect

Ehh, depends on the concentration of salt and if you’ve been sweating a whole lot… and I mean working outside in the heat sweating, not a 30-minute cardio. But unless you have low (or lose) sodium and/or chloride, than it will probably dehydrate you

I’ve been rained on while already mowing (gas mower), and went ahead and finished the last bit. But I’d rather the grass be dry-ish when mowing, because it bogs the engine down when the grass is too wet. I use a push mower though, and wet grass definitely makes the job a bit harder — probably not great for wear-and-tear on the engine as well
