Community radio is volunteer non-profit radio that is community run, so like college radio without the college. It’s commercial free and the programming is generally done by the DJs, rather than corporate radio deciding what to play.

Thanks! I wasn’t sure.

I’m a community radio volunteer, and am wondering if this is something that applies to us or if this is a ham radio thing or something else entirely? I’m definitely not an engineer.

I started reading the version posted, saw the original was on 404, clicked on that and shared the link with my wife, and as soon as I saw the link preview I IMMEDIATELY deleted it and said No! Don’t read that one! It’s not redacted enough!"

So in this case I absolutely agree, the PC Gamer version was the better one to share.

As someone born and raised in the Midwest (Ohio and Illinois) and is currently a resident on the West Coast (Oregon), the way I define it is as such: if there is corn, it’s the Midwest. If there are cowboys on horses, it’s the west or southwest. Does your state touch the Atlantic or Pacific? That’s what coast you are on (Hawaii and Alaska excepted).

I’d like to shout out community radio as well! Your town or city probably has one or you can stream them online. Local DJs playing whatever they want with no ads, just music. I volunteer for a couple and they’re really fun to be a part of.

I wish I could play BioShock again for the first time. It’s an incredible game and absolutely holds up.

Thanks much!

Well, it wasn’t $400k but it ended up being a little better than we expected so we can chalk this one up as a sorely needed win!

Thanks much. It apparently went great! Now we wait for the offer, which should be coming and hopefully will be worth it!

That’s incredible, congratulations!

My wife is interviewing for a job today. It would be a big deal if she got it, especially since she’s been out of work for six months.

This is literally how Night City was founded in Cyberpunk lore.

Aw, that’s really disappointing. I always knew Alice Cooper was a Republican but never really dug into Dee Snider, just assuming he was cool from his time telling the PMRC to go fuck themselves. I guess not.

The Vatican recently opened a contemporary art wing and this artist was invited (he was apparently as surprised as anyone)

It sounds more like he was retired, not that he chose to.

Two books that I read in high school definitely changed my life: first was Big Sur by Jack Kerouac. There are intentionally misspelled words, almost no punctuation and very little traditional structure to his writing (it’s about him having DTs in a cabin on the coast in northern California). I was literally not aware that you could write books and not follow the grammatical rules they teach you in school, I remember showing it to my friends like “Look at this?! Can you believe it?!”

The second book was Breakfast of Champions by Kurt Vonnegut, which also has a non traditional structure, is full of potty humor (and I’m not trying to be polite, it’s the best way I can put it), is filled with doodles and is just fucking bizarre while also being very readable and funny.

Kids need to learn the rules of how to write, but they also need to be taught that rules are meant to be broken sometimes.

Now this is the content I come to the Internet for.

The only thing missing from this story is Florida.
