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:

I'm amazed by the frequency with which celebs are hospitalized for things we common folk manage to survive just fine: reactions to "prescription medicine", complications from a colonoscopy, etc.

They take too many drugs, so they have more reactions. They probably shove different things up there, so likely to bump into something....

She is so vile. Does she have a family? I wonder if she is vile to them.

I think it's possible for them to nick something when they're up there. Anyway a few years ago, didn't some celebrity woman show her colonoscopy on tv? It might have been Katy Couric.

207 The first sign the colonoscopy wasn't going well was when the camera popped out of her left boob.

210 Thought at first the neighbors were doing some shooting practice, but it seems there's a fireworks show somewhere nearby. Happy Memorial Day weekend.

So which ONT is going to be the target for comment overflow this weekend?

213 Anyone here has Starlink?
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.)

214 I have this awesome leather suede coat of my grandfather's. Must be late 60s early 70s. Brown with bright orange interior 'lambswool/sythetic' lining. Most giant collar ever on a coat. The wings of the collar almost reach the shoulders.

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.

I don't like Kathy G., but even so, that would be a pretty rotten way to go. If I died like that, I wouldn't trust any of my siblings to give a eulogy
