Might have just figured out the secret to great home fries. Cut up potatoes (red is my fav for this), parboil for 7-8 mins, drain, add some potatoe or corn starch (this is the secret) and stir up before putting in smoking hot oiled skillet. Salt generously. Add green onions near the end if you like.

Found a setting on mine recently that automatically sets the hvac to recirculate before going into a tunnel. Hopefully that voice feature turns off recirc.

I'm on one of the Pennie plans and they call/text me at least once a week for various crap like this.

Was trying to drive through there around that time. Had to detour. Couldn't see any of the accident from either side of the blockades.

Also one where I can go from the printer being off to having a printed out postage label in less than 30 mins clock time.

Someone should make an inkjet printer where if I want to print a document using only black ink, the printer will still work even when the GY ink cartridge is out.

@houndlyfe.bsky.social I wonder if this was the source of all your random driveway cars? www.reddit.com/r/homeowners...

Picked a random can of chili out of my pantry for dinner. Just in time.

Should I tell my friend that gave me these she got ripped off because these are actually only one bite?

Crazy pocono driver for the day: dude passed me coming down the hill out of Mt Pocono. I was going 60 in a 50. Then he passed 3 cars on this curvy section of 940 where you can't really see far enough to do that. Plus it's double yellow on the whole of this road. I gotta get a dash cam.

Saw one of the new Pennsylvania tags that ended in 8800 or at least I think it was 8800. Might have been 0088 or 8080 for all I could tell.

I got it to work better now. It was having trouble even picking up 91.1 which I have direct line of sight to the tower, but now it's coming in strong.

I mighta got ripped off. This new V4 I got today barely picks up anything. I pick up a lot more with this ADSB one which turns out to be just an RTL-SDR. The blue one has a filter but the orange one doesn't. store.adsbexchange.com/products/ads...

Probably not that hard to make. I was reading up how to make a coaxial colinear either with coax cable or just a copper rod with loops in the right places.

Or did you mean like Ham radio license? I don't really plan to get into that. There's a place over by Cresco that builds antennas. Don't know if they're still in business.

I have a small shortwave/FM/ATC receiver but I don't use it much. I think last I used it was to listen to local broadcast of a Phillies game that was on Fox or something where I couldn't stand their announcers haha. Can't even pick up the time codes on it without stringing up an antenna.

Kelly C @kacphl.bsky.social · 11/09/2026
If I do feed uploads, might send to OpenMhz instead. I'd prob get another SDR for that since I need to use this one for work too. And also figuring out why my garage door opener only reaches 4ft now. I suspect a cheap wifi repeater I had to add in the garage for EV charging.

Kelly C @kacphl.bsky.social · 11/09/2026
Prob rasp pi assuming I can pick up stuff. Playing with it on Mac laptop first. Not sure if my existing ADS-B rasppi would have enough power to do both but I have other ones.

@houndlyfe.bsky.social I got a new toy today. Partly for work but also gonna try to setup a scanner. Already picking up some ATC.

Oh yeah almost forgot that we do have one of those except for the overpasses.

Kelly C @kacphl.bsky.social · 21/08/2026
We should do traffic circles more like the French... With parks in the middle and sidewalk overpasses.

Traffic engineers have a relatively impossible job but still, I question their critical thinking capabilities when I see what they end up with.

Kelly C @kacphl.bsky.social · 21/08/2026
Oh yeah, I think that's what's wrong with it. I hadn't really tried to figure out why I felt unsafe there. And then there's a second one just a few hundred feet further down the road.

US drivers already don't know what a roundabout is, and there they gave us a double-laned one. The ones in Broadheadsville are honestly worse though.

The number of times I've missed a turn on those... The airplane icon on the pavement helps, but not enough.

Wow, that looks really good. Might have to get one. How's the radio?

There were some parts of 447 flooded just north of where it splits from 191 during the hurricane of labor day weekend 2021. I had to help some tourists whose rental car flooded out 800 ft from their airbnb driveway there.

What's the purple at the top left? I really should get a weather station.

Lots of lightning strikes close to me from that storm! And lost satellite internet for about 10 minutes.

Different number every time too so you can't block them. Only way I know it's all the same is they actually leave a voice mail. If only we had some kind of government agency that could put a stop to things like this.

I got on one of those tax scam call lists somehow and holy crap they're annoying. Several calls a day.

Hopefully that will work well. I haven't done much range testing on my dev boards yet but I've seen data showing it's much more reliable even at normal distance compared to regular wifi.

Ooh that's using 802.11ah "HaLow"... First real product I've seen using it. I've been playing with it for our ev chargers. Supposed to work good in parking garages and stuff where there's concrete and rebar blocking signals.

The bugs seem to like it too. I made the mistake of sitting outside at a restaurant for lunch. Sunburn and bugbites.

Or were they already planning to turn? It was really close but also they didn't seem to hit the brakes after the turn.

Jeeze. Quick thinking for that one car that moved out the way.

Kelly C @kacphl.bsky.social · 30/07/2026
I do not understand what is going on. Every single day this week, my one trip out of the house, I've had to hit the brakes when an on-coming driver was half way across the double yellow line. Today it was on the last curve (nearly blind-curve) before home.

Yeah, I saw all the signs up for them yesterday and checked out the routes last night. I used to do rides like that every year in Oklahoma and Philly.

No mention of any other vehicles so it was just bikes on bikes? That last part is scary though. I wish I felt safe biking up here but it's been sitting in my garage unused for years now.
