One day the phones will stop working, or you'll get tired of big brother snooping all your conversations. Meshtastic equipment is about $25 for the radio, another $10 for an antenna. Add a $20 solar panel and an 18650 battery and you've got a solar powered node for the mesh network. Get a cheap pelican case from harbor freight and put magnets on it, and yes, put some vent holes in it and paint white. Now climb a water tower... or farmer's silo.... or even climb a tree with a deer stand and screw it to the side of the tree 50' up. While you are up there look around for the next tall object and repeat.

You can get a LillyGo T-Deck that looks like a black berry phone for each user in the network. Or you can use the $25 radio and a cell phone. Best to use an android phone and turn off wifi and cell service.

"If you want a succinct definition of “scientism,” it might be this - A belief system in which science is accorded intellectual abilities far beyond what the scientific method is capable of by people whose intellectual abilities are far below being able to understand what the scientific method even is.

"This single factor, more than anything else, drives the simultaneous midwit exaltation and debasement of “science” as an intellectual activity. More generally, this “midwit effect” has destroyed the position which genuine competency should hold in our society by casting all claims to competency in doubt."?

Everyone Watched… and Learned

Thomas Friedman was correct about the battle in Ukraine being massively significant with regards to the future direction of the world, but he had it precisely backwards with regards to what the inevitable conclusions of the various third parties watching the conflict would be.

Meshtastic is on my radar, for sure. The T-Deck needs to use a different processor, though. The ESP32 eats batteries. I'm looking at this one: https://store.rokland.com/collections/lilygo-t-beam-series/products/lilygo-ttgo-meshtastic-t-echo-white-bme280-lora-sx1262-wireless-module-915mhz-nrf52840-gps-rtc-nfc-for-arduino

🇮🇷 Iran has officially reported that the IRGC naval forces have seized a tanker that was previously captured by the Americans, who previously stole both the tanker and the oil it carried. Now the Iranians have brought it back. It must be understood that the oil pumped into Basra will not be returned either.

The crew of Filipinos and one Greek will be released.

The tanker war in the Red Sea, Gulf of Oman and Indian Ocean continues.
