overview for icerunner

Reminds me of the first time I worked in a newsroom in the early 2000s. When the repeated slamming wasn't enough, the whole phone would go flying across the office. I, unfortunately, had the desk by the wall, in the prime firing line. My reflexes became boss in those first 3 months.

I also live on top of a hill, so I'm saving up to put together a solar powered Meshtastic repeater that I can mount to my aerial pole.

What acronyms are you annoyed to see take on other meanings? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
