Wow. I never knew that there's a guide like that. It's really helpful. Thank you!! It looks like I am in-range of the channel I want. (I'm trying to watch local basketball games.)

Your antenna looks serious. Over a decade ago, I had something similar to what Wirecutter linked. I'll do some more research and see if I'll get one of those, or get yours. I'm really excited to see the new coach and players this season, and how they do.

This is great info to get me started. Thank you!

Hi... I live in a home with cinderblock/rebar walls and when I first moved in over a decade ago, I tried to setup an indoor antenna to get some local channels. It was terrible and I eventually gave up local TV. I missed being able to turn on the TV, but did fine with a patchwork of local newspaper and etc.

Now... over a decade later, I wonder if antenna technology has improved? I haven't been following, but if anyone has any to recommend, I'd much appreciate it.

These are what Wirecutter is recommending for 2025.

If anyone has any thoughts on these, please advise.

It's heart-warming to see people donating $27s for his 27th birthday today (I didn't know till I saw those comments).

Woman here who gets approached from time to time… casual chats are fine and low-key expressing interest is ok. The least stressful approaches I’ve had are when a guy sends his buddy over to expression interest. So you can appease your parents by asking a friend to make the approach on your behalf, maybe.

Just started a small monthly donation. I’ll up it, if I use lemmy more, but I appreciate its existence. Thank you Devs for your contribution.

Wow. Added. Not sure which category, so I put it under "maybe different reason" one.

[-] tyfpgg@lemm.ee 4 points 2 months ago

Thank you! Added. Crazy... I remember now reading about that one too. sigh

Thanks adding to the list and I just found the article on Yale. Will add that to my list to my... unsafe/unprincipled schools for future students.

Shameful. I have kids that I wouldn't feel safe sending to these institutions even though they are American citizens.

Did Cornell work with Trump on this?

Unis confirmed/likely working with ICE:

  • Columbia University - (I heard is run by a banker, instead of an academic and is chasing easy $$): betrayed their students (more than one)
  • New College of Florida - fired a Professor over skin color/race (wouldn't ever consider Florida anyway). Per commenter below, it was the proving ground with Chris Rufo
  • Yale - 3 Professors fled Yale Interview with one of them

Unis that claimed didn't work with ICE:

Maybe different reason?

  • Indiana University - Admin has been taken over by MAGA, they disappeared a cybersecurity professor
  • UIUC - Had multiple students charged with mob action before the election. Possible theory: maybe political pressure by alumni, Isreal, or democratic party (see below comment for more)

Wonder what other institutions of higher thinking/learning will be next to capitulate...

Yass... I woke up today and that's the first thought that popped into my head. With clowns running the world and their demented jokes as reality... nothing is funny anymore.
