    Just found out why my compact scopes have not been delivered. Turns out the USPS is not accepting packages from China due to dummy donnies tariff policy.

    Given the illogic of those with TDS? Are you a teenager? I guess sleepy, creepy Joe was, is your cup of tea?😂🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💥💥💥 The majority has spoken, simply put a lid on your TDS. And transfer it to MDS (Musk Derangement Syndrome)…😂 Feel free to block me…🙏

    And the mercurial confusion continues. Di Minimis rule reinstated because, as usual, there was zero understanding of actual effects of random stupid policy changes. Another brilliant plan.

    And why would I block someone whose single skill appears to be the ability to copy and paste drivel and canards that he thinks can be substituted for an actual cogent argument with facts.

    Never go against the orthodoxy of group think. You may get blocked for even minor violations.

    I dont think i ever had one, but if someone put me on their ignore list, i will consider that a badge of honor no matter who and why.

    Lately some of my posts in here have needed administrator oversight before any of you guys can see them.
    So i must have been naughty again,,,,, i swear it is not something i am aiming for, i just dont always take into the account the vast cultural and other differences between people of the world.

    Aussies must be going thru hell on the internet, they seem to me to be very strait shooters and not wrapping things up too much,,,,, i like that, also why AU won over US in my " if i ever get some lotto money i will get the hell out of here " pipe dream.

    @SpindleB, noted... I have always been a “posse of one”… And always go the other way from “group think”, or more like “group non thinkers”….

    O yeah @L.Leon it is quite nice outside the box, even when i was a part of a larger group i was weary, and for good reason, soon people started to be even more strange, and other went on involuntary " hotel" stays.
    So that connection / affiliation / lifestyle was soon terminated.

    Don't you just love people with such stunted senses of humor that INCREDIBLY obvious hyperbole is mistaken for "controversial" content?

    Yeah it is nasty.
    I had a layer on my car Sunday, but fortunately i did not need the car before it melted, CUZ it was the nasty black ice frosting and not just a little fluffy frost or snow.

    SoCal has ash, NorCal is clear

    /me not been around the internet that long or should i say in the early days maybe frequenting other places.
    I got online in the late 90ties, eagerly awaiting flat rate ADSL, CUZ i knew with a pr minute payment it was going to be expensive.
    Did game C&C and red alert on a acquaintances dual ISDN line, taking turns to play a match on his computer. Handle viking.66

    /me remember IRC
    I also remember all kinds of nasty stuff on local News servers

    ICQ for comms with friends

    Well, I'm from a little before then. Had an email address for 6 months or so in 1979 (USAF).
    Then went to work for a company that had a pair of T1 lines in 1980 (1.5Mb each)
    My first USENET post was in 1981.

    Yeah, News Servers and Groups were mostly unmoderated and anything went.
    The wild wild west of the internet.
    It sure was a lot of fun.
    Rules were pretty simple, take responsibility for yourself, if you don't like what someone wrote, don't read it or ignore it.
