Previous post under the CW is obviously fraught. Do not make me toss you out the airlock. This is your one and only warning.

"It is said that whosoever the gods wish to destroy, they first make mad. In fact, whosoever the gods wish to destroy, they first hand the equivalent of a stick with a fizzing fuse and Acme Dynamite Company written on its side. It's more interesting, and doesn't take as long."

Oh Harry Lewis perished
In the service of his Lord
He was trampling through the warehouse
Where the drapes of Roth are stored

You are not my mother. You are a Snort.

Someone on my plane this morning *really* needed to take a shower.

Argh! I was trying to bust through the pileup for 4X70S and it looks like my SOTAbeams Bandhopper appears to have given up the ghost. (I suspect it's the cable, but if I'm lucky it's the connector to the radio -- I can fix that). So I went to get my homebrew 17-20-30 linked dipole and one of the clips is off the wire. That leaves me with the MP1 as the only antenna that I have that can handle 100W. It's good for the field but less good for the backyard.

It's come to my attention that asking to be paid what you think your skills are worth for freelancing is a great way to make people think you're too expensive to hire

What do I say when people ask how much I charge for editing?

Two great things you can do to make the fediverse more diverse and interesting:

1) USE LOTS OF HASHTAGS. It's not spammy! It helps people find stuff they're interested in, since the search is intentionally limited to tags to prevent abuse.

2) BOOST THE GOOD STUFF. It gets it into new federated timelines, which is vital for smaller instances with fewer connections. It also helps with hashtag searches, since they only bring up toots known to your instance via follows and boosts.
