@airadam What's a floppy? By RAM do you mean core memory? (I started in 1968). So now you can feel young again. ;-)
@apples_and_pears What's a typewriter?
I too remember such calculators and typewriters.
@Free_Press Can we maybe not have mentally defective people in positions of power?

Had this Supercharger site been full several of us might have been tempted to attach a tow strap to this guy's tow hooks and shown him that a Tesla has enough torque and adhesion to drag a super-size Ram pickupm even with the brakes set, front hubs locked, and in gear or park.
Or perhaps this is the new Tesla model "A" - for A-hole?
@ClaraListensprechen4 Yes, convection plus an optional attic exhaust fan (which is very effective).

Elon Musk is a lesson in the dangers of unchecked corporate leaders
When rich people convince themselves that they’re rich because they’re smart – instead of lucky and ruthless – they misapply their talents to areas beyond their expertise
Elon Musk is not the most reckless, destructive or dangerous corporate leader in world history. But he just might be the most reckless, destructive and dangerous corporate leader at this moment.

“I am alarmed by recent reports of social media platforms, like Meta’s, amplifying Russian disinformation that have already resulted in the undermining of local mayoral elections in Slovakia. The same forces are mobilizing to undermine Slovakia’s September 30 general elections on a massive scale with much larger consequences.” - Sen. Menendez in letter to Zuckerberg https://www.foreign.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/letter_to_meta_re_slovak_elections.pdf

Senator Elizabeth Warren is demanding an investigation into SpaceX after Elon Musk acknowledged he had blocked Ukraine from extending the private Starlink satellite network for an attack on Russian warships near the Crimean coast
“The Congress needs to investigate what’s happened here and whether we have adequate tools to make sure foreign policy is conducted by the government and not by one billionaire,” the Massachusetts Democrat said Monday at the Capitol.

@lovelylovely HIPAA? So I guess HIPAA means nothing but a huge increase in paperwork complexity for hospitals and no privacy benefit as was advertised when Congress passed it.

These damn people are just corrupt to the core.

Elon Musk is a rare evil. A really big one. I don't think we've fully recognized how bad yet.
@DemocracyMattersALot Fortunately, this absurd motion seems to be triggering the right response: laughter.

West Virginia politicians make moves to deny healthcare to its prisoners but instead offer quasi-voluntary sterilization in exchange for shortended sentences https://boltsmag.org/west-virginia-jails-and-prisons-health-care/ #appalachia #eugenics #prison #jail #abolition #fascism #healthcare
@onlmaps Funny coincidence. I saw your post right after emailing my friends an image of the U.S.A, Germany, Spain, Italy, China, India, and several others, at normalized scale, jigsawed into the outline of Africa. It kind of makes the point nicely.
@Geojoek @Stormgren Ah, yeah. The Pi is dedicated to running the rig. That's all it's for. My work computers are separate but can communicate over the network of course. I use file sharing over the net to grab the logs out of the Pi and integrate them into my master log (CQRlog) that runs on my main machine.
@Geojoek I'm not an expert on the various models. I've been using a 3B+ to run my station for a couple years now. Works great. It's hooked to a big screen HDMI monitor, runs Hamlib, my FT-450, runs WSJTX and Fldigi just fine.
So a 3B+ can definitely do the job but I can't tell you much more about it. Haha.
