I was just reading about Winsome Sears, the Virginia Lt. Governor Elect. She is very impressive AND a former Marine. OOORAH!

That would make me happy. Even if just one house flipped it would make me happy. As long as Congress remains split I don't worry so much about who is in the White House.

I guess I’m a dummy.

That brand is definitely out of favor in the United States. For a lot of very good reasons.

Sorry this was, as expected from you an intelligent reply, put that gif and last line and I am so stealing! But out of respect I promise I won’t use it here!

Disprove a conspiracy and I’ll stop believing it. Not many GET disproven. At least the ones that are probable don’t. Some you just dismiss out of hand because they are too complex or otherwise don’t make sense. Trump lost because of voter fraud. That falls flat on its face for many reasons. You can’t get away with THAT much fraud. He lost three Red states. And even if there were some things in PA that we’re not above board flipping PA changes nothing. Burmista for example IS believable.

Actually when the facts are unknown and unknowable my standard of belief is “is it probable”. Generally speaking the facts are not completely known and not completely knowable when it comes to conspiracy theories involving political figures. Take Burmista as an example. Whether it is true or not true it does not change my opinion of the people involved so what does it matter?

I know Bruce I said all of those things in my original post on it. I still think it’s a stupid idea. Because it is. I also said it’s not something that’s actually happening and looking more and more unlikely that it will happen. It was just a hypothetical discussion.

Is it still a conspiracy theory if it actually turns out to be true? Asking for a friend.

Radio signal thought to originate from Proxima Centauri b Was actually from Australia good one Australia. You got us. Now we’re going to figure out a way to prank you.

Not the least of which is the complete non-cooperation of the governments of countries that actually have hunger.

Such programs exist only to enrich the people who control them. If they happen to actually do some good along the way so much the better but that is just the icing on the cake. The only thing anyone can do about world hunger is to actually give food to a hungry person. Donating money enriches the foundation and enriches the heads of the states in which they operate and little else.

Musk promises to help if UN can prove it can solve hunger problems so my take away from this is if you have Tesla stock now would be a good time to sell

Nokia , Fujitsu, and Samsung all have 5G base stations. Those are all pioneering ORAN solutions for hub to node connectivity. I think that is a great concept because you were not compelled to buy everything from a single vendor. You can actually use a Samsung spider cloud, Nokia base station, and Fujitsu radio. Ericsson however is still completely proprietary from hub to node. But because it is a hardcoded fiber-optic link it is completely secure. That is a requirement for the businesses target customer base.

LOL who needs that hassle. They are already in contract with Ericsson.

Well I am happy to say I am officially employed again. I will no longer be a parasite living off the body of the state by drawing unemployment. Not that I had any qualms about that! A friend and former business partner has started a new company designing and building private 5G networks. He just signed me to a one year contract as a RF Performance consultant. Plus I’m buying a 10% ownership stake in the business. Our first zoom meeting is today and I will get to meet the design team. There are three design engineers and one performance guy. One of the engineers on the design team I’ve known for years. The other two I’ve never met. I have been doing a lot of reading catching up on the intricacies of n260 mmWave 5G. When I last worked in cellular 4G LTE was just rolling out. It has come a very long way in a very short time since then. A lot of catching up to do.

You are right. Objectively thinking it's an asset that is at peak value. That value is only going to go down and it may be years before the opportunity to sell at this value comes again. But the big con is it's been home since 2008. A lot of good times and a few bad ones. But mostly a lot of work and upgrades. But I think if things in my personal life were not going the way they are I'd still be a hard "no" on selling. Thanks!

Climate experts say Wall Street will be underwater this is one of those instances where the headline is more interesting than the article. I got a laugh out of it thinking this might be the first time that economists and climate experts agree on something!

Stuffed peppers and black eyed peas

I turned the garden soil and laid a light fertilizer. It's not a job I particularly enjoy but it isn't hard work. The Kubota does all the work. I just try to steer in straight lines. But it was a little sad thinking it might be the last time.

I never touch the stuff anymore. But I still like reading about it. The Best New Whiskeys to Seek Out This November (Including Holiday Releases!) That Garrison Brothers Cowboy Whiskey does sound intriguing.

Franchise Hockey Manager 8. So far it's a solid update to the brand. A little buggy on the 2-D game play but after the first patch it's a little better.

Not really because property tax is not calculated with the same valuation as market price. I guarantee you the taxable value of your house is considerably less than you would make on it if you were to actually sell it
