I remember being a child, camping with my grandparents, and my late grandfather regaling us with how he just got off the radio with a guy in Australia! I asked him how he was able to talk to someone so far away, and he said the weather was just right for the signal to carry.

He was so proud of his amateur ham radio license that he got a vanity plate for his truck with his call sign.

Out of curiosity I just looked up his call sign, and, while his license is now expired, it has not been recycled yet.

Ah ok. I’ve been getting the pineapple and lemon lime ones and both are a tad sour and I like that.

Edit: the pineapple one is the one with caffeine

My 2cents: Pedialyte (premade) still has that sweet taste whereas Liquid IV does not. The powdered Pedialyte contained (I haven’t bought it in a few years so I’m unsure if the formula has changed) artificial sweeteners that upset our guts - which was no good when I was giving it to kids with diarrhea because it just exasperated the issue.

It may be placebo effect but I feel like it does a really good job.

*I am also biased because they make one with caffeine and it’s helping me cut back on soda.

I have one that will relentlessly attack anything plastic - like Ziploc, trash bags, store bought bread - until someone refills the food. Had to buy an honest to goodness bread box so she’d stop destroying the loaves.

Thank you! I’m a civi (civilian) and only had it when my older sister came back from basic training.

I can’t remember what it’s called, but mixing the brownie with the coffee was the best thing I’ve ever had from an MRE.

I agree. I enjoyed RIF for so many years. Paid for it too. I would gladly pay him again for a lemmy app.

Yes! He linked to the post over on tildes prior to shutting down RIF.

If you’re interested in loading up emulators and other games via desktop mode I highly recommend going over to XDA and checking out their articles for the deck. For example: they have a whole article about getting Minecraft java edition up and running on the deck (which is something one of my kids wants us to do).

Skin on your fingertips is overrated anyways /s
