Even as digital technology continues to evolve, "Morsecodians" aim to preserve a once-essential way to communicate across the world.

      lol, fun thread, i think most peiple didnt understand what you were actually trying to discuss, the pharmacist was closest but was still misunderstanding your musings on government overreach.

        People have an adverse reaction to reading. Anti-intellectualism is championed in rural areas. India needs to pick a standard and stick to it. I hate wasting patients’ time. There should be auto-transcribers, but I don’t think patients want to read our medical jargon verbosely.

        Morse code education should be mandatory for our blind&deaf caretakers.

    I’ve forgotten nearly all of it from my license test, and with luck, what I drank last night will have wiped out the rest.

    That Fool Time Secret Base documentary really has me wanting to learn Morse code. I’m not a visual learner tho and need to find ways to listen in to it

      Here are two great resources - learning audibly rather than visually is the way to go:
