Watching NCAA men's hockey tournament - Michigan vs Michigan State. Some of the worst (inconsistent) officiating I've ever seen. I don't care about either team but Michigan State got consistently screwed by the officials.

The left currently prefers the word "insurrectionists". Before the woke regime took over academia we were taught words like "patriots" and "founding fathers" for people that rose up against a government that was no longer representing them.

Kinda strange how Tesla owners are so caught up in the cult of personality of the company CEO. No one pays attention to or gives a shit about the CEOs of Ford, GM, Toyota, Honda, Subaru, BMW, Mercedes, Audi, VW, etc. But Tesla owners have a weird hang-up with Elon and what he says, does, where he eats, when and where he shits, etc. OK, I exaggerated a bit there (maybe not) but you get the point. It's a car not your life partner.

I'm only a few weeks into this latest "hobby" but have set up a home security system/NVR, note-taking app and server, firewall (dedicated machine), VPN, Syncthing to sync/backup my GrapheneOS phone, Invidious server (to further de-Google my life), media server, yada yada yada. I have a Synology NAS also but like TrueNAS Scale more than Synology and I like the apps TrueNAS has and what TrueCharts has; if I can't find what I'm looking for there then I try setting up my own VM on a ProxMox server (like I had problems with Pi-hole on TrueNAS so I set it up on an Ubuntu instance on the ProxMox). Lots of good things to play with out there, not all are a fit for me or what I'm looking for right now tho. I tried Home Assistant and really didn't see a use in my life so deleted it.

It's also the one that is hardest for the general public to detect in their day to day lives. Distract us with bread and circuses while they quietly destroy the currency (and our savings) through money printing and then blame the inflation that causes on anyone and everyone else. It's Putin's fault. It's greedy companies. It's supply chain issues. It's the fault of consumers. It's climate change. Blah blah blah. Opt out, but #Bitcoin.

With all of these "growth" numbers for Biden they conveniently forget that Biden came into office during the depths of the pandemic so all of his "growth" is starting from an artificially low baseline (like once in a lifetime low baseline). But the average reader won't know that or won't remember that. Believe what your eyes and wallet tell you, don't believe the media or politicians.

Just gonna leave this here...
“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world's greatest civilizations has been 200 years. These nations have progressed through this sequence: From bondage to spiritual faith; From spiritual faith to great courage; From courage to liberty; From liberty to abundance; From abundance to selfishness; From selfishness to apathy; From apathy to dependence; From dependence back into bondage.”

Your approach would also be better where space is a concern. While quiet, adding a duct fan like an AC Infinity Cloudline (plus shroud) adds another 12"+ to the overall length of the rig. But size doesn't matter, right?

Highly recommend 6" AC Infinity Cloudline blower fan - runs very quiet compared to stock fans. Will need a shroud to interface between blower and miner. You can get those from @npub1lrj…zvrj , eBay, etc. Will also need spoofers to trick S9 into thinking fans are still connected. You can also get those and other fun goodies @npub1lrj…zvrj and other places.
