I like AI Music, there is some great all instrumental stuff out there.

Also, if you dont think Apollo had pork in it, you're not aware enough of the history, the various assembly plants were placed mostly for political support, the shuttle and now SLS follows the same pattern.

You should just find a good shadow box for it, it'll look good

To my knowledge, while authoritarian it's not a totalitarian state, and Singapore has fairly effective means of redress (aka, rule of law).

I think a good protocol however is key for adoption. Many a good idea has died an early death because the implementation of it was, too complex, insufficiently robust, or poorly thought out for the future.

Only at the point of emission however...

I'd actually assume closer to 100km of coverage, 60 miles or so is a conservative estimate of coverage, in the prairies I would expect it to go much further - 500w of output on high band VHF goes quite quite far - I know how far the US NWS stations cover, and its much closer to 60+ miles.

Environment Canada assumes 60 km on their Weatheradio page ( https://www.canada.ca/en/environment-climate-change/services... ), so that's what I went with. Having said that, I very much agree that the range is probably considerably greater in many cases.

While there are a handful of 500W stations, most are in the 100-200W range: https://www.qsl.net/ve7hce/weatherradio.htm

This seems insane, particularly given the short notice period for the shutdown.

I wonder if CarPlay will work on that, its still broadly broken on my 17.

Must vary by car — not had any problems with my iPhone 17 + Renault.

This feels like... just because you can, doesnt mean you should.
