0:00.0	When did someone get wronged and burn it all down?
0:05.2	I once attended a birthday party with a bouncy castle.
0:08.7	The birthday kid and their friends kicked the younger sibling and his friend out,
0:12.4	so they unplugged it and watched everyone's dismay as it deflated.
0:16.4	Way to go, Mason. That was a pro move for a 12-year-old.
0:23.6	I used to be into amateur radio after a short stint in the Army cadets. There was this one guy in the East Midlands, UK, who was one of the
0:28.9	adult instructors. He was always telling us about amateur radio and did hand out old or cheap
0:34.2	pieces of tech had tried out and wasn't keeping. Anyway, he was a little weird. Overly
0:39.0	friendly, with adults, he never had any bad vibes around kids. And obviously he had some social
0:43.8	anxiety, which he was compensating for. Personally, I suspect he was on the spectrum somewhere, but who
0:49.0	knows? After I left the cadets and went to uni, I stayed in touch on Facebook. We were in the same Facebook group for amateur radio hobbyists.
0:57.0	He always liked to do things by the book and instilled in us the importance of being responsible and socially conscious with our radio use.
1:04.0	He was the same on Facebook.
1:06.0	Reminding people that Mrs. Miggins on her 10-pound handset wouldn't know about transmission power and squelch,
1:12.0	etc. He mentioned in passing to a new member the importance of only using the public unlicensed
1:17.2	channels, kind of like CB radio in the US, on the correct, very low power setting of half a watt.
1:23.8	He mentioned it was because Mrs. Miggins trying to reach her kid in the next street wouldn't
1:27.8	understand the idea that she could hear you, but couldn't reach you to ask you to be quiet a minute.
1:33.1	He was correct here, and it's also a criminal offence to transmit at higher power on these frequencies,
1:38.1	even though it's not enforced. Anyway, this got someone's backup, and he was kicked from the group
1:42.6	for preaching. After unsuccessfully asking to be let back in, he set up a larger antenna in his back
1:48.3	garden, set up a super fancy aerial atop of it with a 30 watt transmission system.
