Texts are less important than email, and less urgent than a phone call. It’s ridiculous to think it’s rude not to reply, especially for kids who probably get 5-10 texts an hour.
If something’s important enough to you that you want a definite response eventually, send an email. If it requires immediate communication, call. Don’t apply false rules of politeness just to get a response out of your kid!
I’ll support Senators not having a dress code when there isn’t one for anyone else working in Congress…
The general rule is identification every 15 minutes or at the end of an exchange. Only one person in the exchange has to identify, if they’re all on the same license.
Your family can use them use them just like they do FRS units. Within your conversation, use normal names, “unit numbers”, or nothing at all as you will, then you just have to throw in station identification once in a while…
Imagine how amazing the PR would have been if the title had been: “User gets spectator seating for a SpaceX launch in return for lost handle”
Nothing better than your first brew…
I can often dig into the source and quickly figure out what’s broken.
And for the 99.9% of humanity for whom that is either impossible, or a dreadful slog,
On Windows, I’m usually shit outta luck. Gotta trawl through tons of messy forums and bullshit SEO-optimised blogspam sites

This reminds me of one of those documentaries where they show some ridiculous mechanical contraption in a scene, and the narrator says, “Before the technology became extinct, it had become vastly more complex and sophisticated, but alas, it’s days were numbered…”
Ah-hah! Thank you. I figured me being stupid was the explanation…
I mean, didn’t they fuck everyone?
I have regular nerd-arguments about it:
“All they have to do is break two of your passwords, and they can reverse-engineer your passwords!” - Maybe, if they have a super-computer… “It’s so much work” - Once. It’s so much work once. Then, it’s much easier than loading software or digging out a dongle every time you log into anything up until you decide to change all your algorithms… “What happens if you forget?” - What happens if you forget?
But my ex was really crazy. You gotta hear this!
This is the situation I’m in. Half-a-dozen clients in the energy and automotive industries, each with multiple security regimes and short timeouts. Passwords mutate with time and I stay sane…
I don’t like to keep any security stuff in “the cloud”, written down anywhere, or even on my own devices. It’s too easy to lose everything after one security breach.
Instead, I use password algorithms seeded from both the service name/identifier and one or more private passwords. This lets me keep thousands of service/site unique passwords in my head just by memorizing twenty or so words.
Yes, they asked for a reminder, not a conversation. Parents have to choose their battles. Demanding non-standard behaviour in order to do a required parenting thing like helping your child remember stuff is a really stupid hill to die on!
