Thanks for posting your search. I absolutely love stories like this. I can’t help but think that music was a little more interesting when it was primarily physically released.

They can trail an antenna behind the boat underwater that receives low frequency radio waves carrying short signals that basically tell them to come up to a higher depth to receive a longer message.

But Puerto Rico isn’t on eastern time. And I think the exceptions in Arizona are reservations and tribal land.

If you like this, you’d probably really enjoy the hobby of ADS-B tracking. If you have a spare Pi sitting around, you can get an SDR and decent starter antenna for under $100. It’s also a fun entry point into other radio and satellite stuff. Airplanes.live is a good place to start.

He described “the missed acceleration in sales” of pumping Liquid Smoke down old oil wells as “a direct hard cost” of the regulatory regime. That tells me all I need to know about our narrator’s intellectual honesty.

I’m open to being convinced that there are better ways of doing things, but despite what half a century of propaganda has been saying, regulations generally aren’t enacted for funsies. They’re there for a reason, specially the reason that in the absence of those regulations, commercial actors were privatizing profit at the expense of society as a whole, and democratic society made a decision to make rules to stop that from happening.
