You appear to be under the misapprehension that there will be another election. What gives you this impression in the face of all the existing evidence demonstrating that the current “administration” has no qualms about dismantling democracy under the guise of Government Efficiency?

I’m guessing that it means the same as Bush saying “Mission Accomplished”, or JFK jr recommending Vitamin A instead of vaccination to “cure” measles … SFA … Sweet Fuck All.

Fortunately I live and vote in a country where making fun of the leader of the country is not an offence.

So … still small then?

Knowing what it’s doing would be useful and people who have the ability to reverse engineer this can work on a fix or filter.

First time I’ve seen it.

What’s with the green line?

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said this week it will retest 4,000 DNA samples and open an internal investigation after learning that it used potentially flawed test kits for eight months.

Sheriff’s officials said Wednesday that a test kit manufacturer sent a letter in August warning the department to stop using certain kits that were prone to giving incomplete results. However, the letter was received by a civilian employee who didn’t discard the kits or send them back, according to a department statement.

The department used the flawed kits from July through February, testing thousands of samples from criminal investigations.

The problem was discovered Monday when a supervisor at the department’s Scientific Services Bureau found the manufacturer’s letter.

The department said it has opened an internal investigation to assess how much the faulty kits have affected criminal cases, and will retest some 4,000 DNA samples.

“We take the integrity of our criminal investigations and the reliability of our forensic testing very seriously,” Sheriff Robert Luna said in a statement. “The Sheriff’s Department is working diligently to assess the impact and to prevent such situations from occurring again.” Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman said his office had begun working with the sheriff’s department to determine the extent of the problem. Sheriff’s officials said the bad tests might have led to incomplete results, but they are "not likely to have falsely identified any individual.”

The department declined to name the manufacturer.

I’m pleasantly surprised at the levelheaded reporting. It’s strikingly neutral, to the point where the Republican quote sounds like a shrill shreak in a sea of reasonableness.

There’s no call for perpetrators being hunted down, no death threats, it’s all very civil.

Phone specific issues aside, which might well be the root cause, your pager issues might point at an issue that may be exacerbating your experience.

If there’s wideband RF noise around you, many radio services might be affected.

If you have a portable AM transistor radio handy, you can turn it on, tune away from any station and walk around your property. If the noise increases, try to find where it’s coming from. There’s also https://qrm.guru/ - it’s intended for radio amateurs, but we’re a friendly (mostly harmless) lot.

As a volunteer firefighter, you might also have amateurs among you or known to members of your group, who might have local knowledge that I lack.

Happy to exchange email. Not sure what the community rules are about sharing it here. I’m happy to send it via DM, it’s not a secret.

What network connection are you using to get these notifications?

If it’s a telco, they might have modified their network and your coverage might have changed.

If it’s WiFi, your router or an antenna might have come loose, or a neighbour has updated their WiFi network and is drowning out yours

Have you purchased and installed new equipment? It might be causing interference. An old piece of gear, a power supply, inverter, solar panel, could suddenly generate radio noise and stop things from working too.

You might think of wireless communication as unchanging, but it’s constantly updating and reacting to local conditions which in turn can vary from second to second.

Yeah, I was going to bring up Turbo buttons, but then realised that the Commodore Vic 20 in my bedroom predates that by quite some margin 😇

It appears that these countries now have some form of warning associated with travelling to the USA:

• Australia
• Belgium
• Canada
• Denmark
• Finland
• France
• Germany
• Ireland
• Mexico
• Netherlands
• New Zealand
• Norway
• Portugal
• United Kingdom

Given the current “administration” track record of pursuing an anti-imigrant agenda I doubt that the deaths of 6.3 million people who are not citizens or tax-payors will even register, let alone cause concern.

What might cause a reaction is the rest of the world.

So, tell your local politicians in your own country.

There is no “other” side to an adult assaulting a child, ever.

From the article:

A high school basketball coach has been fired after he got angry and pulled an athlete’s ponytail during a state championship game Friday.

Yes there is.

OSS exists in society and contributes to society and is developed by individuals who need to get paid.

OSS is not volunteerism, it’s a legal framework to ensure that everyone benefits from the communal effort.

Billionaires have made trillions of dollars off the back of that and still those same developers are struggling to eat.

So, no. I disagree strongly with your assessment and the inventor of OSS does too, Bruce Perens is attempting to address this inequity with his Post Open project.

So … will the current administration allocate funds to research and find solutions, or just keep firing federal employees on the front line and blame immigrants?
