This guy’s full of shit. You can talk all you want on the HF bands, they’re certainly not exclusively for contesting. You can do Morse code or digital modes too. The “most actual communication is illegal on ham bands” thing is wrong too, you can talk about pretty much anything you want as long as it’s not “obscene or profane,” according to the FCC.

It’s worth noting that most flu vaccines (the majority of all vaccines, really) in the US are preservative free anyways. The CDC’s decision is still based on junk science, but it doesn’t change much in the big picture.

I work for a medium-sized regional hospital (~125 beds) and we see patients in our emergency department dealing with severe alcohol withdrawal symptoms (seizures, malnourishment , dehydration, etc) multiple times per week. We pretty much always have at least one patient in the hospital detoxing from alcohol.

Can’t wait 'til you learn about Hexbear and 'grad.

+1 for Mealie. Super easy to set up with Docker, and the UI is excellent. I don’t think I’ve had a single issue with it yet.
