Alan! (o2bnobx on Threads) @o2bnobx Here’s NASA winning Twitter with the Webb telescope. https://twitter.com/o2bnobx/status/1777423331936936011/photo/1 Not really from the James Webb. Think about it. Why would an eclipse happening in Texas also align with something in orbit well beyond the Earth?

I saw that as well here in Arkansas. Didn’t show up in my crappy photos, but saw it with the naked eye.

Got lucky, clear skies in Hot Springs Arkansas. Unfortunately I think I dorked-up my camera settings and didn’t get any good pictures of totality. Oh well, lived in the moment.

I’ll be participating in this.

I had a clock radio/cd-player that was hard-coded to the previous set of DST rules. No way to disable. So I had to change my clock four times a year and was usually surprised whenever it switched on its own. Another clock would be set by the WWVB signal from Colorado.

At this rate Melania will have to marry E Jean Carroll to see any of Trump’s money.

Hey, I recognize a name at 18:15.

I've been watching a lot of CuriousMarc's efforts to restore the Apollo communication systems. Not only the efforts to understand and restore the actual hardware, but the amount of test equipment and signal generators required. My mind reels.

Got an Amazon package in the mail. Seemed weird, I didn't order anything. Package contained one can of Happy Belly Whole Kernel Sweet Corn. Retails on Amazon for $0.79. I guess I'm buying my groceries one item at a time now. Seems I might be a victim of a "brushing" scam. No suspicious act...

If I do the google on canary-mg I find that your link might have been changed to canary-mg.mail.yahoo.com instead of mail.yahoo.com. Check the link and either edit or try typing in the link directly?

When my wife was prepping for her hip replacement surgery, the phlebotomist came in to draw and type my wife's blood. The phlebotomist had an accent that, I swear, made her sound like she was a certain movie character from Transylvania. "I vant to take your blood!" My wife and I could not...
