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.
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 wish I could play BioShock again for the first time. It's an incredible game and absolutely holds up.
Bon Appetit has been in publication since 1956. It’s unfair to call it a food blog. (I can’t speak to the specifics of plastics that you referred to, just the fact of dismissing the magazine).
The power to change stoplights from red to green (and back again)
Because good memes…are dumb.
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.
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.
