Diversity Mode Helps You Unlock Lost FM ChannelsIn my backyard, I use a Sky Blue SBFM9 Yagi antenna (left) and an Innov OP-DES 11-element Yagi antenna (right) to achieve nulls with the SDRPlay RSPDuo’s diversity mode. I’m unsure what impact the visitor (middle) has on the said antenna patterns. Nick’s Signal Spot is a new feature in which Nick Langan explores RF signals, propagation, new equipment and related endeavors. In 2019, I was about ready to give up the long-distance FM radio listening hobby. All right, maybe that’s a bit of an exaggeration. FM DXers in particular are known in our small circles to go through phases of frustration. The hobby is not for the faint of heart. There are only so many opportunities in a calendar year to catch unique propagation events such as E-Skip, even if your dial conditions are optimal! And for FM DXers, the best analogy I’ve…
Can an All-Female Nude Spa Bar Transgender Clients With Male Genitalia? The Supr…”This is a case about swinging dicks,” wrote Judge Lawrence VanDyke of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit in March. “You may think that swinging dicks shouldn’t appear in a judicial opinion. You’re not wrong. But as much as you might understandably be shocked and displeased to merely encounter that phrase in this opinion, I hope we all can agree that it is far more jarring for the unsuspecting and exposed women at Olympus Spa—some as young as thirteen—to be visually assaulted by the real thing.” VanDyke was dissenting from the 9th Circuit’s decision not to revisit Olympus v. Armstrong, a case that saw an all-female Korean spa sue on First Amendment grounds. The business, according to the Washington State Human Rights Commission (WSHRC), had broken the law when it declined to accept a preoperative…
The Health Care Crisis and How to Fix It America’s health care system faces three related crises, each predating the wrecking ball wielded by the second Donald Trump administration and its subservient GOP-controlled Congress. It costs too much. It doesn’t provide equal access. And it delivers inferior outcomes. Things have only gotten worse under the current GOP’s reign of terror and error. This week, a leading business benefits consultant reported in its annual survey that employers expect their insurance costs to rise 11 percent next year, the most in decades, and plan to shift nearly 30 percent of those costs onto their employees. Prices for every service (except a handful of drugs subject to the negotiations passed during the Joe Biden administration) are soaring. The main reason is that millions of people are being forced off the insurance rolls. And, despite giddy headlines celebrating the United States finally surpassing its pre-COVID life expectancy, the…
Uber to Cut 3,300 Jobs in Major Overhaul to Reduce Management LayersUber Technologies is cutting approximately 3,300 jobs worldwide, representing about 10% of its workforce, as the company launches a major restructuring designed to simplify operations, reduce management layers, and redirect spending toward future growth. CEO Dara Khosrowshahi announced the changes in a message to employees, explaining that Uber’s expansion over the past several years created additional layers of management, coordination requirements, and fragmented responsibilities. Although many of those structures were appropriate when individual businesses were smaller, the company believes they have become less effective as Uber has grown. The restructuring will reduce the total number of managers at Uber by approximately 20%. Some managers will move into individual contributor positions rather than leave the company. However, the layoffs also affect employees who are not currently in management positions. Uber is also targeting smaller organizational structures. The company plans to…
Armed man charged toward Democratic candidate for Ohio governor at fair, law enf…WASHINGTON (AP) — An armed assailant charged toward the Democratic candidate for Ohio governor, Amy Acton, on Sunday during a campaign stop at the Canfield Fair, injuring several people before he was stopped by troopers, the Ohio State Highway Patrol said. The Ohio State Highway Patrol said in a statement that a man it identified as Patrick Havas, 38, forced his way through a crowd, knocking over multiple members of the audience as he moved toward Acton, the state’s former public health director. He had a taser and two pistols, the statement said. The Mahoning County Sheriff’s Office said two handguns and a set of brass knuckles were recovered after his arrest, and “no weapons were ever brandished or even removed from their holsters.” Havas was taken to the county jail and booked on charges of disorderly conduct and…
