[1968] Sears Wish Book Shortwave Portables
  • My Dad bought one and took it with us on family camping trips.

    I still remember the weird and eerie warbles, chirps and harmonics; creepier than many camp fire ghost stories, under the right conditions.

  • US drug control agency will move to reclassify marijuana in a historic shift, AP sources say
  • Some critics argue the DEA shouldn’t change course on marijuana, saying rescheduling isn’t necessary and could lead to harmful side effects.

    Hey, fuckwits! We’ve already had 50 YEARS of harmful side effects from Nixon’s policy perfidy. GET OVER YOURSELVES.

  • Cable News Viewers Have a Skewed Attitude Toward Gaza War, Survey Finds
  • The Document Cloud data from this survey of roughly 1100 Americans, was unreadable on mobile.

    “Cable news” is such an amorphous term, with plenty of crossover (“Get your NBC News on our app, or Roku and stay connected…”) that I’d like to see their definitions before commenting further.

    One data point I found depressing? People who get their news via print only, were least prevalent; less than those who said they avoided news in any form.

  • Weird Image Behavior

    Memmy now opens an off centered (placed out of frame, in the upper right of the screen), tiny, version of any image I open.

    I have to pull every image over to the left and down, see it fully.

    Help?

    www.vice.com Elephant-Sized Apes That Once Roamed the Land Mysteriously Vanished. Now, Scientists Have an Answer.

    The sudden extinction of giant apes is an "enigma in paleontology," one scientist said, but new research proposes an answer to why they disappeared.

    Elephant-Sized Apes That Once Roamed the Land Mysteriously Vanished. Now, Scientists Have an Answer.

    Some 330,000 years ago, giant apes the size of elephants roamed the forests of southern China. Their massive teeth—once sold as a "dragon tooth" by a Hong Kong apothecary—gnawed tough leaves and devoured fruit. Then suddenly, while other primates were thriving, these supersized orangutan-like creatures vanished with almost no trace.

    How do I fix post titles?

    After update they’re too big, and bold, readable from five feet away.

    They also limit the visible posts from 8 or more before, to four or five now.

    How do I fix this?
