I got interested in Elon's Starlink system, and it just hit me what this is going to be.

The "direct to cell" thing is still being tested, and not all the constellation of satellites have that capability, but the new he's launching all do. Right now, it's not operational, and testing is "text only". But voice and full data will be available soon. Right now, SpaceX has to "partner" with an actual cell carrier to get it to work right, but I imagine in the future, Starlink can be its own carrier. Cell towers flying around in space.

No, it won't be WIFI as you think about it, you know low power wireless LAN. It will be cellular frequencies. No 5G, but 4G LTE, eventually with voice, text, and full data.

Here's a real time map of the whole Starlink swarm: https://tinyurl.com/ybhkly3n Note this is a rotating frame of reference, fixed and rotating with the earth, so the actual orbits will be a bit distorted, doing some odd looking sort of things relative to the ground. This frame is of course what you want to see the ground tracks, where a satellite is relative to your position on the ground. These are very low orbits, so they still move pretty fast easterly, even with the rotating earth. Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at September 02, 2024 10:17 PM (w6EFb) 117

Years ago I was working for a company that had hit a bad patch financially. The CEO/former CFO gave a speech to bolster moral. I knew the guy and he was smart as a tack. And the speech he gave boiled down to "the investors have plenty more money to give us so we will be fine". And at that point I updated my resume and started actively looking elsewhere. I knew if that was the best a smart guy could up with that this company was screwed. A lot of the Ukraine news looks like this. Well...with a less charismatic executive but...the same idea.

I think Mr. Elon has recently discussed pairing starlink with (I assume) regular cellphones for emergencies. In other words being able to communicate with first responders or 911 for location data in areas without regular or spotty cell tower phone service.
Basically it sounds like the days of having to carry a dedicated emergency locater beacon w/ a separate subscription might be coming to an end. Might not be a bad idea to carry one in a group just for redundancy sake, but the idea of being able to make an emergency text in the wilderness sounds pretty cool. What's great about Musk, is somebody brings a good idea to him, he's all about "That's a good idea. We should do that for free" and then goes and does that.

It is very surprising how little has happened this year during prime summer campaigning season. Ukraine cleverly grabbed a poorly defended piece of Kursk province, but Putin failed to take the bait, and instead continues to make slow, steady progress in Donbass, rather than shifting a bunch of troops to Kursk. Posted by: The ARC of History! Not entirely accurate. Russian troops have been shifted to Kursk, twice now. However not from where the Ukes would have liked in both cases.

Biden just told an insanely weird story in Pittsburgh about how his grandfather was accused of being a "Molly Maguire," Irish people who "murdered people and brought their body to the doorstep of their families."

Lawyerforlaws @lawyer4laws 3h Biden's Great Maternal grandfather, Blewit Wasn't a regular Coal miner digging in the mines He was an engineer for Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania mining operations In 1903, he founded the Edward F. Gold Mining Company, a silver and gold mining operation in Montana Miss Meg @meggiecarly 2h Weren’t Molly Maguires mid to late 1800s? I would think even his grandfather wouldn’t be old enough for that shit. What a psycho liar he is.

Replying to @greg_price11 ~ Barnes is right: Biden's not degree smart. but he's street smart. He's saying he identifies w/the mob tactics of the Molly Maguires of his Irish ancestors. He talks about leaving the dead body of the foreman on the family's porch after killing him in the coal mine. This is a direct threat & incitement vs. Pres Trump. ~ @barnes_law "Irish immigrants brought a form of the Molly Maguires organization into America in the 19th century, and continued its activities as a clandestine society. They were located in a section of the anthracite coal fields dubbed the Coal Region, which included the Pennsylvania counties of Lackawanna, Luzerne, Columbia, Schuylkill, Carbon, and Northumberland. Irish miners in this organization employed the tactics of intimidation and violence used against Irish landlords during the "Land Wars" yet again in violent confrontations against the anthracite, or hard coal, mining companies in the 19th century." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molly_… Posted by: andycanuck (CEzQx) at September 02, 2024 11:00 PM (CEzQx) 283

Julian Ropeke, who is very pro-Ukraine, but is an honest reporter, posted this yesterday (translated from German):
The situation along the front in eastern Ukraine is critical and continues to deteriorate. ➡️ Unlike before, it is now almost impossible to identify the geographical focus of the Russian offensive. ➡️ Of course Pokrovsk, but if we are honest, Russia is also on the advance along the entire 50 km south to Vuhledar. ➡️ To the north of this, Toretsk is the focus of the Russian army, but not only there. The Russian offensive efforts are also being made in Chasiv Yar. ➡️ And for the first time in almost two years, there is also an advance in Luhansk and eastern Kharkiv. ➡️ The Ukrainian army has a whole series of problems that it is currently unable to deal with. Geographically it is very thin (keyword: Kursk), but also there are too many fresh and therefore inexperienced soldiers, too few capable leadership personnel and of course the well-known disaster: far too little Western support in the form of weapons and ammunition.

Look at the inflation adjusted cost of things like the manhattan project, apollo, etc., vs what we spend in ONE YEAR on this bullshit now. As an experiment the republic is a failure.

More Roepke (translated from German):
➡️ In sum, the problems are currently so big that Russia itself is going crazy with its own problems at a rate not seen since the summer of 2022. ➡️ The Ukrainian soldiers I speak to can hardly explain the catastrophe. Some areas are falling so quickly that they suspect an order to retreat. They also consider the rotations that have already been carried out and are planned to be dangerous for holding the front. ➡️ In any case, I can no longer see the "moral boost" that Kursk may have brought for a few weeks from my sources in the Donbas. Things may be different in the north-east of Ukraine. ➡️ And just in case the usual Russian trolls come out of their fire extinguishers again – nobody is thinking about surrendering. Instead, they are already mentally preparing for the defense of Dnipro. Posted by: The ARC of History! at September 02, 2024 11:06 PM (uxCna) 303

Does anybody make pancakes from scratch, or do you use BisQuik like me? If you do make them, are they difficult/time consuming to make? And are there pantry 'staples'/ingredients one requires?
Posted by: RickZ at September 02, 2024 11:22 PM (gKDq2) I make them from scratch and they turn out tasting like baking soda. My sister makes them from Bisquick and they are great I just never keep Bisquick on hand Posted by: Kindltot at September 02, 2024 11:24 PM (D7oie) 356

I think Bisquick is fine, but then I'm not a big pancake fan. Once in a great while for something different I guess. The problem is baking powder loses potency, the shelf life. A tablespoon of fresh baking powder will fix it right up though. All purpose flour, baking powder, eggs, etc., I think make superior pancake. For that reason I tend to acquire the fixins instead of the ready-mix. Can make corn bread too, or whatever.

And ironically the main American battle tank in WWII was no match for what the Germans and Soviets used but...it didn't have to be.
The inadequacy of the Sherman was once pretty much the accepted view, but lately it seems that is being rethought. Sure, the latest German tanks got the hype and one on one they were probably better, but the 76 mm Sherman was the equal of the late Mk IV. In Korea the Sherman did just fine against the T-34\85. And the upgraded Israeli Sherman could go against T-55s. The more you dig into military technology history the more you suspect that often it was more about somebody getting paid then actual superiority Posted by: azjaeger at September 02, 2024 11:30 PM (3/XaG) 385
342 Considering that most of the Ukrainian thing seems to resemble a WW1 style combat, using T-55s that are still around seems like a pretty good idea, actually. You only need top tanks in mobile tank vs tank warfare.

Common Tater,
'Baking powder losing potency'. That's my thinking/fear as well. I don't make pancakes often enough so BisQuik is fine. I keep it in a zip lock in the fridge. Now for those who like flavored syrup, may I suggest a couple of items? I marinate the syrup, while slowing heating in the microwave in a mug, by adding things like orange or lemon zest, or small pieces of peeled ginger. Once the syrup is warm, I let it 'steep'. Then I strain for serving. The flavor's subtle. Posted by: RickZ at September 02, 2024 11:39 PM (gKDq2) 405

Gettysburg just broke Lee's army, and the bad choices there may have been because there really wasn't an overall strategy other than jump down the lion's throat and start kicking
Gettysburg makes sense from Lee's perspective. You are losing the war in the West and via the blockade but if you win a high profile battle in the East it lets you make a pitch to the Europeans that you have a chance and are worthy of support. Ironically though the South's best change of winning was likely right after Bull Run. They were disorganized from the battle but one could imagine a more effective pursuit after the battle leading to the Confederate taking DC before the Union army could reform.

Well, I welded up the busted rear spindle nut for my '99 Suburban. It appears to be made out of sintered iron (MIM?), and not machined from a billet. The weld looked funny, but seems to hold. After making three welds and grinding them smooth, the repaired nut thread easily onto the spindle.

Well no, what I’ve found is infrequent pancake enthusiasts should not use Bisquick, because the baking powder included in the mix will lose zip if it’s sitting on the shelf. They also use a powdered fat that will start to oxidize and start to have off odors as well. That takes a while I suppose, but panckaes from scratch are never a problem for anyone who does any baking. I thought sour cream works well in lieu of Buttermilk, some sort of acidity is what makes the pancakes light and fluffy, by reacting with the baking powder.

Latkes are pretty good, I am torn between using a rinsed yellow shredded potatoes so it cooks floury, or a cooked and cooled russet potato. there is also the question of if you should or shouldn't add some flour as a binder and how to handle the onions.
I have fewer dietary rules, so it becomes a convenience thing. I tried to make latkes from sweet potatoes, once, and that was not an unqualified success. Posted by: Kindltot at September 02, 2024 11:51 PM (D7oie) 436

Is it a castellated nut that you put a cotter pin through?
Posted by: Penguin Pete at September 02, 2024 11:45 PM (CV8a5) No. It is a metal ring, 2" I.D., 16 threads per inch, with round divots on its outer face to engage a face spanner socket, and 6 slots on its inside diameter to permit a square key to be slid into a keyway on the axle spindle to lock the nut from turning. There is a spring steel ring to retain the key. It is a full floating axle. The old-school way to do this, which was better, IMHO, had a pair of thin flat hex nuts that fit the thread on the spindle. You would screw the first one in to set the preload on the bearing, the slip in a thin steel washer with a tang for the keyway, and a tab. Then you'd screw on the second nut, tighten it, and bend the tab on the washer over a flat on the nut so it could not back off. Easy, peasy.

By that is meant the "jack in the box" turret they have. Storing the ammo around the gunner and under the basket to service the auto loader was a terrible idea.

Posted by: IRONGRAMPA at September 03, 2024 12:05 AM (hKoQL) Seems to me the field expedient solution to that would be to replace the ammo in the turret ring with canisters of sand, and have the crew hand the shells up one-by-one from a safe place lower in the hull.

Even that extreme compromise, however, will not be enough for a majority government, because the CDU, the BSW and the SPD together are one seat short of a majority. They will have to strike some further arrangement of toleration with the Left Party[.] "In their attempt to wall the AfD out, the CDU in Thüringen have walled themselves in. The party is slowly destroying itself, and after four years governing with social democrats and leftists their popularity will only have eroded further. That is why the Thüringen election matters.

James Darren was also in the '60s Irwin Allen show "The Time Tunnel" (plays early Sat. mornings on MeTV). He also played Vic Fontaine, this holo-deck Vega Lounge singer type on Deep Space Nine. That was a memorable character. THe holo-character became self-aware, realized he was a hologram, realized the true world he was in, and all that. He could even reprogram himself to do shit.

Irwin Allen was a hoot. He got dubbed "the master of disaster" doing Towering Inferno, Poseidon Adventure, and that sort of stuff. With his '60s sci-fi shows, which included Lost in Space, he was a famous cheapskate, reusing his "monsters" in various series. He also pioneered the Irwin Allen "rock 'n' roll" to simulate a ship/submarine/spacecraft being tossed around. He'd have the camera man shake the camera around, and have the actors all throw themselves around to simulate forces throwing said ship all around. This was employed in Star Trek TOS famously as well. The Klingons or Romulans would attack, and they'd just shake the camera and have The Shat, Nimoy, and Gay Sulu just throw themselves around the set.

Posted by: Debby Doberman Schultz Thank you for asking. Old Mama is in hospice, does not eat, only vaguely aware of much. I take Miss Dixie Doodle to sit with her most of the day.

Kelly Bergin @kellybergin I was a nanny on the UWS in college. I was the only white adult at the playground. I became friends with some of the nannies. 1 told me her pay and I was horrified I was making so much more for a part time gig. This was 2006, I was 19, and I finally realized my white privilege.

Miklos,
You saw Daddy only as a shadow of his former self. I wish you could've met him when he was in full possession of his faculties. You two would've gee-hawed pretty good, of that I know. Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at September 03, 2024 02:45 AM (w6EFb) 529

Daddy could've told you one of his favorite stories about a mule when he was a kid. The mule was scared of his own pee spots. He'd piss in a spot in a field, then when coming back would see that wet spot and would freak out over it. That was when me grandfather was teaching him to plow cotton with a mule. Mules know who's boss and who's the young buck that can be messed with. Daddy was the young buck and that mule knew he could fuck with him.

My own mule story. A neighbor, who likes to do things the Old Way, dubbed Duff (it would take me paragraphs upon paragraphs to properly describe Duff, so I won't even try), got him a mule years ago. I was about 30 something, younger side, late '20s or so, so this would've been about the mid-90s. Duff had a she-mule, which he dubbed Rosie. He was breaking Rosie in, and asked Daddy if he could walk her over to our place, and walk her around. We didn't have anything planted in the field around the house. Duff wanted to discipline Rose to follow his command and go down the road, then come to our place, and walk around... He did so, walking about 1.5 miles from his place to ours down the road, with his wife following him in his pickup.... Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at September 03, 2024 03:30 AM (w6EFb) 543
I didn't quite understand why Duff wanted to do that. He had acres and acres he could walk Rosie, but he wanted to do that, and Daddy understood why. One afternoon he did it. Daddy and I were working on a combine out in the yard, and here comes Duff with Rosie. He comes over and introduces Rosie to us. Rosie was all tired and sweaty. She got to wallowing around. Me, I'd didn't know nothing about mules. Daddy and Duff laughed at my reaction. Rosie also laughed at my reaction. She knew I was a pushover, didn't know nuttin', and so she proceeded to mess with me. To the great amusement of Daddy and Duff. She'd look at me sideways, do all sorts of crazy shit, and at one, time, tried to stick her head under my legs and just throw me for a loop. Duff and Daddy stopped that. I was amazed at how Rosie would mind Daddy. It had been decades, but Rosie knew Daddy knew how to handle her. Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at September 03, 2024 03:34 AM (w6EFb) 544

Daddy took the reins of Rosie that afternoon. That was just to show me that the old man still knew what he was doing. Rosie had never seen Daddy, but she minded him perfectly. I wish I could've recorded that for posterity. There my father was, gee-hawing Rosie around. The Old Man was boss of his domain, and Rosie knew it. Me, if I'd have tried, Rosie would've just made a fool out of me. Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at September 03, 2024 03:42 AM (w6EFb) 546

The "CAUTION: KAMALA'S ILLEGALS" signs popping up around Denver . . . there are a few clear-minded individualists still there, apparently.
Anyway, as our un-lamented former White House occupant used to say: I got a solid sleep last night, and while I preferred yesterday morning's game of *pretending* it was the first day of my retirement, I'm braced for work. Tomorrow evening at five I have a reception to attend, so I will have a looong day and won't be home until late. I'll get to eat for free. But I have to make nice and pretend to be cheerful at the end of a work day. Grrrr. Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at September 03, 2024 03:47 AM (omVj0) 550

My father had what you call "Command Authority" with Rosie. Now, Duff had been breaking her in, learnin' the geeing and the hawing. Now, I'm remembering Daddy taking the reins. It was something to see. He bellowed out the gees and the haws, and Rosie obeyed. And when he had turned her around back to the starting point, a big authoritative "Whooah!" Rosie stopped right then and there. Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at September 03, 2024 04:02 AM (w6EFb) Processing 0.08, elapsed 0.0953 seconds. |
