What a great son you have. He’s mature nice looking and talks like he’s been on the show for years. He would be great on the radio or sales cause he could talk me into anything. Such a terrific guy.
I was in the NAVY in the late '60s, and in 1968 we went on a goodwill cruise around South America. We did operational exercises with the various NAVIES, The name was UNITAS IX. A few of us would sit on a weather deck with our transistor radios and listen for AM stations from the USA. I got lucky one night and picked up WLS {890 on your radio dial} when we were traversing the Straights of Magellan, at the tip of South America. I sent in all the required information, along with a dated picture of the ships Latitude and Longitude. I also said I was from Chicago, and when I was in High School, I worked with Dick Biondi, during the time he did the HS Football Teams. about 3 weeks later I got a letter from WLS with the confirmation of reception card, and lo and behold a picture of Dick and I at a Schurz, Vs Lane game. On the back of the card Dick said he remembered me and included some instances we shared that really are not for public view.. I call WLS every year they say they look through their files and so far I am longest long distance documented Listener WHOOT !!
Absolutely true lots of employers would layoff half their employees and expect the other half to do the job of twice as many for the same amount of money and they’re still doing that and blaming Covid for it
Use cash and go to the bank, Credit Union preferably regularly cause tech can let you down. Here on the East Coast if tech goes down in a store, how's that digital world going for you? Cash Rules.

How much info of your life, home, visitors, etc was downloaded to amazon and then sold to 3rd parties ? Do you want your entire private home life now on the dark web ?
We went to a restaurant called snooze in Houston and they’re like please scan the digital menu and this “OK”, thing pop up or click for additional information. The additional information said by using our digital menu. You agreed to let us download data from your phone and sell it to third parties examples of the data that we get from your phone could include medical data purchase history, personal history, blah blah blah and I’m screenshot this as I’m reading it and the waiter came over and said do you have any questions? And I said yeah! What the hell is this? He said I’ve never seen that before. I said everyone using your digital menu is agreeing to let your restaurant sell our information? He’s like I’ve never seen that. I said probably because everybody just clicks OK so they can see what the special of the day is! Now I wonder are all of the restaurants doing this? The digital menus piss me off anyway because I shouldn’t have to take my phone to your restaurant to see your menu, so your lazy waiter doesn’t have to carry it over to me
@@underintact134 Watching this a little behind the times, but, HAM radio was originally divided into a few different classes. The original class that everyone needed obtain was using Morse Code. This was a very limited bandwidth that could be sent using low powered rigs to communicate at varying distances. I never was qualified to get that most basic of licenses as I plateaued around 3 words per minute and the minimum to get licensed was 5 words per minute (this was based on 5 character "words" so essentially 25 characters per minute (I was in Junior High at the time). There was an additional class being created as I was trying to learn Morse which was the Technician class, this class could use voice, but was a much wider bandwidth requiring mush greater power to broadcast a similar distance to the Morse Code class. There were ways of still running a technician class license by using the 2 meter band which had repeaters setup around the country, but for direct communication you required much more power and a lot of antenna theory for directional transmissions to get the distances people wanted. Eventually, CB radio came to be popular (which Ham operators looked down their noses at), CB licenses eventually became free and so it was only the hard core Ham enthusiasts who kept trying for distance communications followed by QSL cards (post cards from the distant person you communicated with as proof of your connection). It's been a long time since I was trying for the Morse Code training, and I am not up to date on the licensing requirements now. Perhaps the morse requirement has been eliminated, but in emergencies the relative low power/bandwidth can make communication possible in the cases like the recent hurricane (& soon to hit Florida second one) so hopefully it is still available to be used.

EVs generate a lot of electrical/ electronic noise that interfere with AM reception. Filtering out that noise can be difficult, so the car manufacturers are looking for a cheap (for them) way out. If you can’t lower the bridge, raise the water logic. Astounding that your husband has Ham radio as a hobby. There are worse hobbies out there.
1. Gen z grew up seeing workers being mistreated/disrespected and saw this during a time with huge social changes. It only makes sense that we demand better. We are trying to change how the country sees work and overall how the working force is treated. Kinda crazy the older generations think that’s a bad thing but here we are…. Trying to unbrain wash the years and years of conditioning to work and only work 2. The attitude everyone is talking about… purely from not being paid, being overworked, and being disrespected. 3. I at 23 have been in the corporate work world for close to 4 years now. I have gotten nothing but compliments, everyone has always loved my work. I make a good fucking chunk of change yet it still doesn’t cover cost of living. I asked for an extra 3k to go onto my raise and was honest in saying it was to afford basic needs. They said no. So tell me why the fuck I would continue to give them 100% when they straight up told me “you don’t deserve food and shelter”…. I don’t work at a god damn Starbucks I write contracts, this is ridiculous. 4. Yall keep saying pull yourself up by the bootstraps when we don’t even fucking have boots Maybe instead of calling an entire generation lazy and entitled, let’s ask WHY the whole generation feels this way and how we can fix the issue. Because it is a fucking issue... asking for the fucking minimum and for basic needs to be met shouldn’t be “entitled”. I won’t be able to retire because everyone fucked up the world before I got here so yea I’m a little upset… and again this is coming from someone who has only ever been praised for their work, promoted, etc.
You're fucking hilarious. While what you brought up in your rambling of a comment is technically the truth, it's not what Gen Z workers are thinking of when they refuse to do the job they've been hired for while expecting the wages of a thirty year neurosurgeon.

The free ESG money is gone, companies are looking for employees not activists.
Hes right each generation got tagged with not wanting to work. Gen x we’re slackers. But the reality is there weren’t many jobs available.
Absolutely true lots of employers would layoff half their employees and expect the other half to do the job of twice as many for the same amount of money and they’re still doing that and blaming Covid for it
The only way to avoid this is to not hire them in the first place. I tried hiring several young people. They all lived up to the stereotypes.
You should get Astro's little brother. It would be interesting to see how much different it is from the old one.
I was a teenager in northern Wisconsin in the 70’s and used to listen to WLS AM in my Ford Pinto 😆😂🤣
When I was a kid in the late forties, I would listen to WLS in Chicago at night. This station was about 200 miles from me.
It's good to see your son after hearing about him since he was a tot! ✨

My father had a HAM radio when talking was not allowed. He had to use Morse code.
Why was talking not allowed?

@@RossLemonSo you just ignored what this person was saying to condescend. How do you know what ALL gen z people are thinking? You don’t.
@kristinjayne6720 It's because I'm an older Gen Z myself as I know how my generation thinks and acts.
@@RossLemon No generation is a monolith.
