  • I bring 3 oranges, a sandwich (surprising, I know), a yogurt, water and generally a gatorade.

    I really like oranges, and this way I have fresh fruit every day. Bananas check a lot of the same boxes for portability and convenience, but I mainly only like them when they’re still green so it’s not always easy to have them consistently through a work week.

    The sandwich can be almost anything, since I tend to swap sandwich ingredients weekly, but I really like sourdough so that’s my staple bread most of the time.




  • Best thing to do is ignore them as most replies are going to add fuel to the fire, because it’s likely your reaction that they’re entertained by.

    Wit, however, is a skill like anything, and actually delivering a sick burn on the spot when it counts is hard, and takes time to be good at. (Timing and delivery are key, if you waver at all, even a good retort will flop)

    What I would say is just continue being yourself and don’t let the haters get you down, because it sounds to me like maybe you’re focusing on the right things at school, and maybe they’re not.

    With a good attitude, a clear conscience and your head held high, you’ll always come out better off than them in the long run.














  • There are a couple of local groups I talk to mainly, but there’s also truckers on channel 19, some local big operators on channel 6 (known as the superbowl), and long distance on single side band.

    CB radio occupies the 11 meter band which happens to consistently have really good propogation at certain times of the year / solar cycle, which makes it so you can talk in one place and potentially reach the other side of the world, though usually for short periods depending on location, time of day, transmit power, antenna design, etc. This phenomenon is usually known as “skip” by CBers.

    My favorite part of the hobby is trying to chase skip, and talk to operators in other countries. On a good day I’ve spoken from the US to Mexico, France, Canada, Germany and the UK.
