It's odd how most people I've talked to about this over the years (myself included) mis-remember the assassination attempt on Reagan as happening a couple years into his presidency when in fact, it happened just two months after his inauguration.
If this was a successful Deep State attempt to reign him and prevent him from 'rocking the boat', they wasted no time, and it's possible the remaining eight years of Reagan's presidency was just eight more years of the status quo or, the first two terms of Bush Sr.

What I perceive SecDef Hegseth is saying is that they are monitoring to see if they can detect a difference in the levels of enthusiasm among commanders in carrying out the policies of Trump vs those of Biden because from the perspective of service members, Biden's policies were lawful orders that had to be followed.
My own opinion is that America cannot bestow enough gratitude on commanders who damaged or destroyed their own military careers by resisting what they believed were lawful but immoral orders issued by Biden and enforced by their higher-ups who maybe cared more about doing what they needed to reach retirement than doing what was right. Ultimately, I believe the founders were right:
"Standing armies in times of peace are a threat to liberty."

Early morning thought:
Near as I can tell, Joseph did not go around the region warning people of the coming famine.
Was he put under a gag order by Pharaoh?
Did he lack confidence in the accuracy of his interpretation of Pharaoh's dream?
Was he worried that warning others could endanger his comfortable position as second in command of Egypt?
As second in command, I have to believe Joseph had resources at his disposal which could have been used to send a warning to his father. 'Start storing feed and food now.'
Was there resentment in his heart toward his brothers that prevented him from sending this warning?
I'm not being judgmental. The guy remained faithful to God even after being delivered into slavery by his family, and then doing time for a false rape charge.

I was born into a family of tee-totalers. They were so extreme that they wouldn't even patronize a restaurant if it served alcohol. After the patriarch died, I discovered Dad was the only teetotaler. Everyone else were closet alcoholics who came out of the closet and showed me why Dad was anti-alcohol. For some people, there's no such thing as alcohol in moderation.

The last time I worked as a cashier was part-time in high school. The store was only about a year into using the barcode scanning system when I started working there. There were definitely growing pains.
During the day, teams would push carts full of binders, scanners and label makers throughout the store, replacing price labels on shelves and displays whenever there was a sale so that the advertised price would ring up accurately at the register. Then they would do it all over again after the sale had ended. Often, merchandise would ring up at the regular price, requiring a runner to go lay eyes on the shelf to see what was up if the customer made a fuss.
Many annoyed customers would share - with anyone in earshot - their theory that perhaps the system was programmed to ignore the sale price every so often in the hope that shoppers wouldn't notice. I dismissed these theories at the time because a) I didn't know much about computers and, b) I witnessed the chaos of the bugs being worked out. Meetings which would sometimes leave department managers in tears.
Three decades later, on the other side of the register, I find myself wondering if those conspiracy theorists weren't right about merchants (particularly chain stores) having an incentive to leave things broken. I mean, rarely have I seen a price disparity work out in the customer's favor. If it was just a fluke, shouldn't there be as many cases of items ringing up at the sale price after the sale had ended?
Maybe cashiers and store managers today have had a different experience and could share their thoughts.

If you're considering the Wouxun KG-S88G Plus #GMRS radio because it has bluetooth audio, understand that the bluetooth feature disables the radio's volume knob, so your earphones/buds will need their own physical volume control. In other words, it doesn't work well with modern earbuds because the audio plays at a non-adjustable 100%. If you thought roger beeps, morse code repeater IDs, etc were annoying before, welcome to instant tinnitus 😂
The radio has very limited receive capability (400-480 MHz), so you can't even use it to access NOAA weather frequencies.
It's not compatible with either Chirp or Tidradio's wireless programming tool. Programming is limited to manually through the keypad (which isn't awful despite its keypad being even smaller than the UV-5R's), or having admin privileges to a Windows machine. You'd think the programming software for a radio that costs the equivalent of a 6-pack of Baofengs would be compatible with more than just Windows. I guess the folks at Wouxun just assume that if you can afford a Mac, you probably use a Starlink mini for all off-grid comms.
Battery life is unimpressive. Pretty sure a tween with a 3D printer could make a better charging cradle. Accessing the radio's USB port requires either removing a screw every single time, or chucking the cover plate entirely, compromising water resistance.
There's no dual-channel monitoring but the ability to modify the channel scan list directly from the radio is a potential workaround. Very useful for those times when you need to temporarily block a high-traffic channel.
It has frequency and tone scanning capability, and the display is legible in daylight [stares resentfully at UV-5G Plus]. The manual is pretty good.
Apparently, the big contributor to the higher cost of this radio is that it allegedly transmits cleaner, and increased sensitivity due to being a 'superheterodyne' radio. Honestly, the difference seems negligible. It may be better at blocking out random RF noise and pulling in weak signals but definitely not 6X better.
If vox could be made to work through something like a bluetooth speaker, the bluetooth audio feature could prove useful. You could potentially locate the radio on say a roof or tree branch to increase its range while you remain on solid ground.

Censorship-resistance isn't important to content creators until censorship prevents their content from reaching listeners who enjoy the product enough to want to return value.
I think February will be two years since I got my first LN address (WoS). It's been stressful trying to maintain a functioning wallet, especially since I've never been in love with the layout and features of the Fountain app (Podcast Addict is my favorite, followed by the buggy but lovable Podverse).
I doubt even 10% of regular listeners would devote as much time and energy as I have just to be able to boost their favorite podcasts, and I'm not even one of those savages that runs their own node hardware.
Sometimes I wonder why guys like Peter St Onge still haven't made their podcasts 'boostable' but then I remember we're still extremely early.
In addition to friction, we have those who practice what they preach with respect to "save sats, spend fiat." Those guys aren't gonna donate sats to a podcaster even if it's made easier than dropping a quarter into a parking meter.

Alpert's 1965 album Whipped Cream & Other Delights proved so popular — it was the number one album of 1966, outselling The Beatles, Frank Sinatra, and The Rolling Stones — that Alpert had to turn the Tijuana Brass into an actual touring ensemble rather than a studio band. Some of that popularity might be attributable to the album's notoriously racy cover, which featured model Dolores Erickson seemingly clothed only in whipped cream. However, as writer Bruce Handy pointed out in a Billboard article, two other Brass albums, Going Places (1965) and What Now My Love (1966), "held the third and fifth spots on the 1966 year-end chart despite pleasant yet far more anodyne covers." Another measure of the band's popularity is that a number of Tijuana Brass songs were used as theme music for years by the ABC TV game show, The Dating Game.

If you're going the diesel heater route, there's a guy on YT (John McKay?) whose suggestions can save you a lot of headaches related to things like exhaust routing or pump longevity. David McLuckie also has some good videos.
I like the diesel heater because I can refill my own fuel cans when I stop for gas vs waiting around for the one employee at the box store with the key to the propane cage to get back from lunch. The 20-pound propane cylinder exchange is the Home Depot equivalent of McDonald's milkshake machine.
One thing I learned is that these heaters apparently aren't fond of being shut down straight away after hours of running on the low setting.
Since the 'brain' of the heater is inside the plastic shell on top of the heat exchanger, it's essential that the heater have enough power to run its cool-down cycle. If the power source is a battery, no big deal but if you're running directly from an AC power supply, this can be an issue.
If you'd like to have the heater start at say 50F and shut down at like 65F, check out the Bureck thermostat which basically clones the on/off RF signals from the heater's remote.

Had a moment of weakness the other day and tried to create a FB account because many of the public agencies and charity orgs helping with disaster relief in NC post updates there exclusively, and FB heavily restricts what you can see without an account - even when it's your tax dollars and donations making their actions possible.
Entering a fake name, fake DOB, and refusing to divulge a mobile phone number must have triggered some algo that refused to let me create an account.
Thank God for Nostr!

I heard it mentioned that you have ten days after passing the HAM technician test to pay your FCC license fee, but is there a deadline that you have to take the test within X days of receiving your FRN?

Wow this case has been going on since 2018. Talk about operating at the speed of smell. And he screwed his family out of their $5M bond!

TIL there are special high schools for teens recovering from addiction.
Appears to confirm my suspicion that Marty failed to recover the sports almanac from Biff.

Most of us have had the disappointing experience of trying to redeem a coupon or discount code and being told during checkout that it had already expired. Imagine if they could do that to the dollars in your wallet after you'd already done the work to earn them. As if having the power to gradually devalue the currency by issuing more of it didn't give them enough of an advantage.

You warn followers and subscribers on the big platform that you're not on [less popular social media network].
But if the big platform requires self-censoring, could it not be argued that the 'real' you can't be found there either?
The 'fake' you on Telegram or TikTok is some scammer trying to defraud your followers, but what is the 'real' you doing to your followers by making content exclusive to a platform that data-mines users and exposes them to its psy-op algos?

This is a relatively new podcast Prep Comms about different types of radio comms. Hope he sticks with it.

What’s more, Washington’s desire to take down the crypto banks — which they accomplished deftly in March 2023 — was the spark that lit the fire of a massive regional banking crisis, which spread far beyond crypto. Yet today, no one levels criticism at President Biden, Senator Warren, or the Fed for starting a banking crisis in their attempts to stymie the crypto sector.

Definitely not due to cold weather. Seems to be more common in small and/or Asian vehicles.
In our case "high" is 1500-2000 rpm and "longer period" is at least ten minutes or until about a minute into driving.
From ppq.ai:
There are several reasons why car engines may idle at a high RPM for a longer period during a cold start, particularly in the morning:
1. **Cold Weather**: In cold conditions, the engine needs to reach its optimal operating temperature. Higher RPMs help speed up this warming process.
2. **Engine Warm-Up**: Modern engines, especially those with fuel injection systems, are designed to run at a higher idle speed initially to facilitate faster warming and ensure oil circulates effectively.
3. **Emissions Control**: Higher RPMs help the catalytic converter reach the temperature needed to effectively reduce emissions.
4. **Battery Charging**: After a cold start, the alternator works harder to recharge the battery from the initial draw required to start the engine. Higher RPMs aid this process.
5. **Idle Air Control Valve**: The Idle Air Control (IAC) valve adjusts the amount of air entering the engine to stabilize the idle speed. It might cause higher RPMs until the engine is warm enough to maintain a consistent idle.
6. **Sensor Functionality**: Various sensors (like the coolant temperature sensor) provide data to the engine control unit (ECU), which adjusts the idle speed based on the data received to ensure proper operation.
If the high idle persists beyond the usual warm-up time or seems excessively high, it could be an indication of:
- A stuck or malfunctioning Idle Air Control (IAC) valve.
- A vacuum leak in the intake system.
- Faulty sensors (like the coolant temperature sensor or throttle position sensor).
- Issues with the ECU or its programming.
For persistent or unusual idling behavior, it’s advisable to consult a mechanic for a thorough inspection and diagnosis.

How did we get here?
It's we the people who sweat and bleed at our jobs every day, only to send the fruits of our labor to Washington so we can beg them to use some of it to save the lives of our neighbors.
Enough of this bullshit.
