#DearLazyWeb: this is a bit of an unusual request, but I'm trying to find more information on the technical logistics of resistance tunnel building, from Vietnam, to Syria, to Gaza. There have been a bunch of videos on tunnel warfare, and including a lot of info about the US preparing for tunnel war.
I've been #writing some near-future #fiction and I'd like to include some of this, and I like to have depth of knowledge for realism.
So any military history geeks out there have any leads?

#DearLazyWeb: A while back someone posted a screen cap of Google getting confused between Voyager's "The Doctor" and "Doctor Who."
I'm writing something up about LLMs and I'd really like to reference it. I'm gonna go through my boosts and hope I can find it, but could anyone with it handy save me a few hours of data spelunking?
Edit: @… found it. Awesome. lol!

#DearLazyWeb ( #Nederland #HamRadio edition): I have small kids. My oldest is just turning 7. I have an idea of starting to introduce radios to them and some other parents are also interested.
I'm starting with walkie talkies and basic radio protocol. My thought is to try to play a few games of "keep talking and no one explodes" over walkie talkie, then trying to expand that out into an informal radio net or something. I have some other ideas for projects, like downloading weather satellite data or something (but I think this may be a bit too advanced, perhaps).
I've also been thinking about playing a bit with LoRa radios (meshcore or reticulum), but I haven't yet figured out an application that would be fun for kids.
One parent suggested a kids radio broadcast. In the US it's possible to get a local FM license (within about 2 kilometers) for community stations and educational use and such. Is there any similar program here in NL?
Extra question for #Ham operators: are there other simple kid friendly projects you can think of?
For parents (to gauge interest outside of my weird little circle): one goal here is getting kids into radio to build the next generation of disaster communication. Is this something you would be excited about for your kids? Is this something you would be interested in seeing as an after school program?
