Congrats on finally making this happen! I know everyone involved tried to make this happen for a while. I am so envious. My question: any chance for blimp tourism to return? I missed out when there was a chance to do it in the San Francisco area. What is the future of blimp tourism?

Was a QB customer years ago, now I keep hearing their ads on various podcasts. When they mention AI, my first thought is who the fuck wants that? I want accounting! I don't need inferences! I don't want inferences! I want math! 1+1=2! Shows Intuit absolutely does not understand customers!

LOL, I recommended it, and I didn't even notice that today was 5/28! The show is FIRE! Has a 22 minute Sugaree, clearly Jerry was feelin' it that night!

We are in sync about a lot of things! Hartford '77 is my favorite show. The performances are great, the set list is great and the solos especially on Sugaree just wail! Anything from the Spring '77 tour is great. Also love Winterland and Cornell. Here's a link: archive.org/details/gd77...

GEM also existed for the IBM PC and compatibles. Digital Research licensed it to a lot of OEMs. I wrote a bunch of code for a medical system that used it back in the 1980s. Unfortunately that product never shipped for various reasons unrelated to GEM.

This means I can look at psk reporter anytime I want and see how the ham bands are doing in real time.

I have a Pi 5 and a single Hermes Lite 2 SDR. I also run OpenWebRX. I set it up to decode FT8 spots when there is no interactive session in progress. My SDR can decode eight streams at once if you load the proper firmware. Therefore, I am decoding eight bands worth of FT8 spots in real time.

Legal seafood at Logan is good, not sure I would fly there for an early dinner though.

Bless their hearts, they're keeping it uncluttered because they are so concerned about the mental processing capabilities of their user base.

First step would be finding someone who wants the job, no?

IDK tho, I like the color toggle idea, yet I don't think of myself as an idiot.

Actually, more accurate: No one in this world, so far as I know—and I have searched the records for years, and employed agents to help me—has ever lost money by underestimating the intelligence of the great masses of the plain people. quoteinvestigator.com/2020/03/01/u...

It's not about how serious you are, it's about how much you are willing/able to spend...

Love the tech, but the price makes it a top choice only for those with lots of disposable income.

TYVM for your posts, they help me stay connected to the idea that there is much beauty in this world.

I'm not local, but I do want to congratulate you for getting your license and receiving images from ISS. It's really cool to watch those images show up! Best of luck with your future activities on the air, hope to run into you on HF!

As you can see by the quality of my input, when mobile I used text-to-speech a lot. It works because people's expectation of text input quality is going way down as mobile has gone way up.

I still like having a reasonably sized keyboard, I feel are more efficient that way, but other people who were brought up with mobile devices are just as fast using them.

I agree with both things you were saying. Linux is my daily driver for everything I do, but also mobile is capturing all computing needs for most people.

If you look at the 14 minute 26 second mark shank mods also does a Barbie PC! He also explains why the price on all this stuff went so high.

I've been a member since 1998, back when the only thing they sold were books! Should have bought some stock, sigh.
