I’m guessing it’s because of concerns about quality control.

There are at least three legal ways to do this. CB radio, ISM frequencies and amateur radio. I say legal because the radio spectrum is heavily regulated because every transmitter affects everyone else to more or lesser extent.

You can buy CB or ISM band radios and get started.

Amateur radio is a better option in my opinion. There are many more frequencies to experiment with, people who can help and people to talk to.

Amateur licensing is different in each country, but an introductory licence is often no more than a weekend course and exam. I know of nine year olds who have done this. It’s not hard. No Morse code required either.

With such a licence in hand you can use things like JS8Call, CODEC2, Olivia, WSPR and hundreds of other protocols to communicate using just a radio and a computer.

Disclaimer: I’m a licensed amateur in Australia and have been since 2010. I hold an introductory licence, here it’s called a Foundation licence, and have been having an absolute blast with all that I can do.

If you have specific questions, don’t hesitate to ask.

Yeah, in the unedited version of my reply, the asterisk wasn’t detected as part of the URL which lands you at Sag A, not Sag A*.

If you’re wondering why, this is the centre of our Galaxy. Of course if you’re planning on intergalactic travel, you might have some issues, but before you get too worried about it, exploring the current galaxy is going to take a while.

I remove the sticker, wash it under the tap and one bite at a time, eat it whole.

I read that you’re manually tagging them, so your process can be whatever you want to do.

For example, you can leave the images in their current folder structure and create a separate folder structure with symbolic links to an image, so in the character folder would be symbolic links to all the images like that. They also don’t have to be unique, an image can be in multiple categories.

Alternatively you can use a spreadsheet and generate lists there.

Finally there are plenty of photo album applications that allow you to tag images.

Gender reassignment surgery?

If you’re actually working out, nobody cares about what you look like and comfort is more important than any other consideration.

If you’re using the gym as a place to meet people, nobody you would actually want to meet cares about lines in your clothing.

In other words, the lines you’re concerned with have been put there by advertisers wanting to sell you more stuff.

"Once more, let me remind you what fascism is. It need not wear a brown shirt or a green shirt.

Fascism begins the moment a ruling class, fearing the people may use their political democracy to gain economic democracy, begins to destroy political democracy in order to retain its power of exploitation and special privilege."

Perl is the only language that looks just as incomprehensible before and after a rot13 transformation.

Python on the other hand is the only language that will cause your application to stop working because you mixed up tabs and spaces, even though it looks perfectly fine on your scr.

And lisp is hard to say if you have one.

Is there a place where one could offer suggestions for appropriate natural source materials?

I’d expect that the person to ask would be the building manager.

For me, on Apple TV, it became unusable without a subscription.

As an end user, ie. not someone who either hosts an instance or has extra permissions, can we in anyway see who voted on a post or comment?

I’m asking because over the time I’ve been here, I’ve noticed that many, but not all, posts or comments attract a solitary down vote.

I see this type of thing all over the place. Sometimes it’s two down votes, indicating that it happens more than once.

I note that human behaviour might explain this to some extent, but the voting happens almost immediately, in the face of either no response, or positive interactions.

Feels a lot like the Reddit down vote bots.

For the purpose of?

Venting? Warning? Praise?

Something else?

Reddit support to the rescue…

It’s really simple to use, and markdown is essentially plain text.

I’ve seen this type of issue multiple times. If I’m really interested in the item I’ll contact the supplier and often they’re just as flummoxed as me.

Of course then there’s the "other"response as well, where the supplier has no interest in actually shipping outside their own country, but that’s a whole different thing
