I don't think it can be used AS a GPS system...the satellites are very low compared to the actual GPS constellation.

43 You can bet there’s all sorts of interesting cyber warfare with the various and competing GPS systems.

Years ago when the US based GPS was the only game in town it employed something called “Selective Availability” a method of inducing deliberate error into the signal provided. I’m not sure exactly how it worked but the idea generally was to deny the enemy the accuracy inherent to the system and maybe make their missiles or weapons miss the target by a significant margin.

Perhaps not GPS qua GPS (the specific technology), but I would be surprised if their ephemerides weren't known accurately enough to use them for navigation of some type. With over 10,000 in orbit you'd have to keep their trajectories pretty tightly controlled.

Homemade Queso, and a big ass bag of Tortilla chips is some fine dinin’ there too.

61 Odd bit of trivia: the sailing ship on the label of Tillamook products harks back to the origin of the coop.

The farmers had awesome land for grazing dairy cows, but no way to get their products to market, so they pooled their money and built a schooner.

Yes, I know that a schooner technically isn't a "ship". On the other hand, I've also had sex before, so... there's that.

"Vessel". Happy now?

62 >> Perhaps not GPS qua GPS (the specific technology), but I would be surprised if their ephemerides weren't known accurately enough to use them for navigation of some type.

Indeed. I was just reading about that prompted by the discussion last thread. Some MIT guys figured this out, and were able to get location to 7 m accuracy. It just involved eavesdropping on the locating beacon signals broadcast to help receivers lock on to the satellites.

They had to sort of reverse engineer it, and used machine learning for that, but they learned enough to figure out how detect distance and velocity of the satellites. Now, with Starlink ephemeris data, bingo, you've got something like GPS.

Intentional random errors inserted into the time signals, and errors in the published ephemerides for the satellites.

To get fully accuracy, there were some encryption that broadcast the errors or otherwise allowed the military grade receiver to determine and correct for them.

78 Publius, before the USGOV turned off the "wobble" in the GPS, it was a thing to have a base station with a known location to track the variation in the signal of the GPS satellites. If a surveyor could do that, they could nail down locations to inches.

And if SpaceX would publish some of the specs, they could refine that down to 1m or better accuracy. They wouldn't have to open up the system, just publish enough info about the beacon signals to be usable.

And I'm sure they've already provided that to the military anyway. They were very interested in this to use as a backup. Have all the tools you can muster for PNT (position, navigation, and timing) purposes.

A police officer pulled over an old lady for speeding. He asked her why she was driving so fast. She said she had to get home before she forgot where she lived.

The officer was so confused that he let her go

103 "'Sharp' Cheddar often is not. It’s like Colby. I think they fucking lie about it. Ya hafta buy “Extra Sharp” to get “Sharp”, or near enough, and they seem to only sell that in those twee packs. It’s a cheesemonger conspiracy i tells ya."

Our local Piggly Wiggly has a cheddar that's aged for ten years, and is so sharp, it can draw blood. Among other things, I use it for a cheese sauce; poured over lightly steamed broccoli or cauliflower, it is stunningly good.
The Cabot sharp cheddar is also really good.

The current GPS system has a much higher accuracy and anti-spoofing/jamming encrypted system for military and other govt use. 1 cm accuracy, and some robust anti-spoofing system.

They were under a lot of pressure to open up the GPS system for civilian use. So I think they developed other means to jam and spoof it locally if need be. And then add the additional system to prevent the spoofing and jamming being used against us.

Interestingly, during Gulf War 1.0, they turned of the degradation. The trouble was a shortage of military grade receivers that could bypass it, and the had to use a lot a civilian grade equipment. So, they turned it off to allow full accuracy.

I was at a funeral in San Francisco at a hilltop cemetery. The hearse stopped outside the gate of the cemetery. They removed the body from the back on a gurney to push it to the gravesite. The director lost his grip on it, and it began to roll down the hill. We all chased after it as it careened toward the bottom of the hill. It was getting further away as it picked up speed. I rushed into a nearby pharmacy and asked the pharmacist if he had anything to help me stop coffin.

188 The Gubbmint cheese was in 5 pound blocks iirc. My dad scored a little bit somehow (we weren’t poor enough to qualify).

It was very dense with no fillers or extenders. Remember it was part of the USDA dairy price support program, “surplus”; so it was extra concentrated for efficiency, and then they had to store it somewhere, which meant in caves. Aged!

All those price supports went away a long time ago, and I doubt there is any gubbmint cheese stocks or anything else for that matter.

Made great grilled sammiches I remember that. The commodities purchased by the government were in turn offered to the public school system, and that in turn meant reduced prices. One of the few “good”’government programs. The taxpayer already paid for it once. That’s why we all remember square pizza slices, grilled cheese and tomato soup, peanut butter squares, and other classic institutional gustatory delights. We bitched a lot, but ate most of it up.

Way better than the clown show the school lunches were going through a couple years back. Remember that shit? Huge scandal. We had actual lunch ladies and cooks at our grade school, and they did a good job, with what they had.

He's different from most of the ones I highlight, in that he performs rhythm guitar and backup vocals, which is a vital role but one that by its nature fades into the back of the mix.

Even bass guitar can be easier to pick out by ear, due to being in a lower register than the other guitars. Guys like him have to find their satisfaction in providing the sonic backdrop that the lead vocals and lead guitar pop out against, while never getting the attention or acclaim. So, I hunted around and found this live TV appearance where you can see Valenzuela clearly, performing a song that he has sole songwriting credit for, off their fourth studio album Major Lodge Victory (2006). He's the big guy (everything's relative) on the left, with the capo'd ivory Stratocaster:

Posted by: SMH at God's mercy at May 22, 2026 10:49 PM (22p5n)

Yes. Starlink Mini, which is the mobile. I bought it for interim service while I was waiting on Verizon Fios.

It is REALLY hard to find a clear eastern view of the sky in my neighborhood. But, even with partial blockage, I got a decent signal, though I did have occasional outages due to it. And there was no way I was going to mount it way up on the tippy-top of the roof - just too dang high for me, anymore. I can't mount it outside my office because that's on the northwest end of the house.

But, I got the Mini so I can go mobile with it. An evacuation, moving at some point, living on the road for a time, maybe taking it to a MoMe, etc. And you can suspend the service when you don't need it. (It does cost $10/month for that, but you can turn it back on at any point.)

A neighbor had a little perforation years ago after a colonoscopy. IIRC, he felt off when he got home, and then got a fever and felt awful. There's a small risk of that, and his number came up.

Also, the Roam plan has 100GB and 300GB data limits, as well as an unlimited plan. $55, $85, and $175 per month. And there are certain countries you can't use it in - most seem to be in Africa.

Posted by: nerdygirl

My oldest brother, already weak from cancer treatments, had his intestine perforated during a colonoscopy. Somebody measured his bacterial count being high, but somehow the word didn't get to the right people, and he died, not from the cancer, but from medical malpractice.

Yes, a rotten way to go. He was nine years older than me. Died at the age I am now. Fortunately, I've survived the colonoscopies, endoscopies, and sigmoidoscopies I've been through the past couple of years. OK so far…

Posted by: mindful webworker - and the appendectomy at age 9 at May 22, 2026 11:42 PM (0poB+)

244 For my one and only colonoscopy (because that's my rule) my GI doc and I were very sarcastic with each other. I didn't know him at the med center but had seen him around.

He asked me why I waited years over the normal age of when you are supposed to have it done.

I waited til one son gave me mild IBS after breaking up with a redheaded witch whose name is never, to this day, spoken around me. She broke his heart.

She may be the only person I've wanted to run over, back up, and run over her again in my entire life. This was after I ripped every red hair out of her scalp. I seriously considered homicide or sneaking up behind her & whacking off her hair. Or my green laser eyes of doom.

I told him I was concerned about perforation. He told me doctor-like that he'd performed thousands and had never perforated anyone. Then said, "You are neither elderly nor frail." I said ok.

Then told him he was a sadist just before they knocked me out as he said the prep "was not that bad." He laughed. Heaven knows what he did to me as his nurse was mad at me for saying this.

He did, however, to irritate me further, show me the photos and brag about how sparkling clean I was afterwards.

Stripped off about 90 square feet of shingle and tarpaper to expose the rotten deck boards. Tomorrow we strip out the rotten boards, and prepare the rafters to hang new plywood decking. Idea is to work from 7 to 10 AM, and quit before the sun gets too high in the sky, and it becomes hot.

Anyway, off to the rack. Night, Horde.

You won't get crap from me. I had one done without anesthesia. (I don't recommend this.) Being awake for the procedure, I saw how much force the doctor and nurse used to get that thing around the "corners." There is no way that is safe for your intestines. I will not do it again.

A sigmoidoscopy is much gentler.

312 I have been instructed gently to go to bed as early blast off to the airport. It will be fun my grands say, but what do they know at 7 and 5yrs? Their mother packs for them. They don't have to figure out what to eat that won't kill you in the wilds of the deepest Congo (also known as the boonies of Mississippi ranches). I'm hoping sons will cook but am not getting involved.

I doubt I will bring this laptop so adios, amigos. Fly high but don't hit the power lines.

Let's hope I return someday as some rooms are a mess here and our survivors may be shocked. I'll be dead so I really don't mind. Part of the basement kitchen corner is obviously not my fault as a pipe burst from the kitchen sink above and needs sheetrock.

The "sewing room" is a disorganized mess that is my fault of living large and not caring until I do. I should leave a note: "If I don't survive I had a virus and could not clean in here last week once I started on the closet."

Which is true but I started the closet two weeks ago.

315 There was censorship of network radio and television.

It forced writers to be a little more creative in that sense, to make “clean” comedy. George Carlin was famous for his “7 Words” you couldn’t say on TV, but he had a long career before that, and had a “clean” setup routine too. He was really funny, with just basic observations.

I listen to old radio programs at night, for tinnitus mostly. “You Bet Your Life” with Groucho was pretty good. He knew how to walk right up to the line. And guests would walk into saying something stupid. One gal mentioned she had 12 children. “I really like my husband”.

Groucho says “I really like my Cigar, but I take it out of my mouth once in a while”. Pretty bad stuff for 1952

Exactly my excuse as well. And the GI guy in FL said I did not need another one. Out West they disagree. Also disagree with me that I don't need a shingles shot and I don't care. No one mentions covid anymore (probably in my record not to bring it up).

Granted if I poop blood or something that makes sense, but all was well before last week's cholera of the 1800's. I was surprised I did not pass out and probably would have except for Pedialyte.
