Obama to return to White House to celebrate health care reform Ummm.... as long as he's there... any chance we could keep him? Don't get me wrong, I had zero use for Obama as President. But he was not the disorganized s--t show the Biden Admin has been.

Don't know about the rest of the guys but I found a blonde haired blue eyed Nordic beauty hanging around a horsebarn.

Added to my "to do" list

Don't sell yourself short. Maybe you'll be racing in front of them!

It's f---g SNOWING again. April 1st, spring time, baseball is starting in a week and it's f---g SNOWING! Winter isn't coming. It never leaves!

This is exceptionally cool! Hubble sees most distant star ever, 28 billion light-years away

That Mencken was right when he said “As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.” Nailed it 80 years before it happened!

Doh! You guys are right. I forgot about the B-52. I was off by 15 years!

Trust comes hard to people who have lost it. People who have been hard used in the past expect it in the future. I read a book once that said people only accept the love they feel they deserve. But I think anything can be worked through.

US Marines transitions from Harrier to F-35B The Harrier is, if I'm not mistaken, the longest serving fixed wing airframe in the history of US military aviation. Even longer than the Catalina. Obviously there have been numerous versions of it since it's first deployment in the sixties. On another not it's extremely cool to see VMA-214 is still around. That unit is legendary among the "wingers".

New relationships in middle age is like trying to renovate an old house. It might have looked good on the outside and there was definite curb appeal but once you are in you have to find and repair all the damage done by the previous residents. And sometimes it's a lot of damage. Leaky pipes behind the drywall. Asbestos in the attic. Cracked foundation. Not that it isn't worth fixing. But sometimes you wonder if you even can.

If you read one Saxon book you've read them all. I swear some of the text was cut and pasted between books.

@GorthHey we made it to the Rugby Sevens WC finals several times. Now the actual Rugby WC, that is a different story. In fact I suspect the FIFA Team USA could beat the Rugby Team USA.... in rugby! But our women's team could beat them both. In EITHER sport!

USA USA USA.... wait.... which world cup is this? FIFA? Oh... never mind.

So she cheated and still failed? I think the lesson isn't that cheating is bad, it's that she's bad at cheating!

I guess not but from they way it sounds you are doing a hell of a good job of it.

I bought six Diamond Box tickets to see the Marlins play the Brewers in Milwaukee in September. Three for each game. It's likely the only two I'll get to see this year so I got us good seats. Neither G nor B has ever been to a MLB game. Time to rectify that.

We use a software tool call TAP to plan site builds and radio deployment of private 5G networks. My job is to optimize performance on completed project sites. Mainly indoors or on premises outdoors. More and more I'm finding that TAP has been causing some... miscalculations in propagation distance. the thing about 5G is it's utilizing channels in the EHF band. So wavelength is really, really, short. Less than a centimeter. As wavelength is directly proportional to propagation distance where power is constant distance from radios to handsets is a big deal. Well, the finished projects have blind spots and when I load them in TAP there shouldn't be. So I stopped using TAP, broke out the ol' faithful TI-36X (29 years old it's still the best calculator I've ever used) and channeled my inner Friis and calculated free space path loss and coverage arc. TAP was wrong. Every single time wrong. I know a lot of my colleagues think I'm a grouchy old man who does not trust computers. Not that it isn't true. But the best computer is the one between your ears!

I am please to announce my endorsement for the 2024 US election. And much earlier than usual!

Said the man who got it right the first try! Getting it wrong a few times changes your perspective.

I should make this my new avatar pic

Polish up your Tokerovs and spit shine those boots Comrade, it's purging time! What's old is new in Russia. Time for the KGP to get the band back together and start shooting heads again!
