Personally, without the 'hair' context, I would have checked the iron that you use with an ironing board to get wrinkles out of clothes.

Along with relying more on old recipe books, I've been using DuckDuckGo's 'date' filter to limit my searchs to 2005-2015 (just easy to modify a single 2 in each year as they default to 2025) and it's helped with avoiding AI slop for recipes.

on Learning morse code · c/dull_mens_club · 4 pts · 286d

Morse Toad is another learning app that's fun because it gameifys it a bit. It's a little limiting as you can't adjust the code speed, but still a fun entry-level learning tool.

If anyone is wondering what real world use you could get out of learning the code, look into CW (continuous wave) ham radio activity as a hobby. It requires a license that isn't too difficult to get and there are some pretty low cost options for getting into the hobby if you only plan on using morse code rather than voice transmission.

The first time I heard the term dongle it was for the little adapter that connected to a PCMCIA card and I gave my buddy shit for using the term because I thought it sounded dumb.

And that radio telegraph operators weren't using three letter Q-code shortcuts since the early 1900s.

Thanks for confirming this. I'm atrocious at recognizing AI and thought I was just overthinking these reviews because there were a lot of em dashes

I installed Manjaro about six months ago because I'd never tried it. I like it so far and it has yet to get in my way enough to make me want to change.
