I carry a small hatchet in the trunk of my car with the spare tire just for this reason.

I wish Vince Guaraldi had lived longer, I really like his style of Jazz, its both the kind of thing you can leave on in the background, and its music that takes you places. Cast your fate to the Wind and Alma-Ville are still some favorites.

I think my takeaway from this is there is no objective standard for good engineering management - whatever counts for good has to be contextualized within the culture and habits of the organization.

I'd be interested in helping, I have a more than passive interest in the 3B-Series and the 5E - I figured by that point it'd be a emulated 3B, not a real 3B21.

I have been in ~15 CO's - there is tons of floor space in them, and the only thing telephone switching equipment has done since the 50's is shrink - beyond that, most existing CO buildings had expansions when electronic switching

a fairly large number - a bigger question is what happens to all the CO buildings once all the copper is turned down. There is a huge opportunity about 5 years from now for edge datacenters. You have these buildings which have highly reliab

Yes, I remember the INS raids of the early 90's they had tac gear, and AR's and I presume bullet proof vests too.

ICE isnt any more or less militarized than INS was, if anything its a less powerful agency, its just in a more logical place (DHS instead of DOL), while I hate the name for DHS, it was a fundamentally good reorganization of government.

This was my point exactly, ICE isnt fundamentally more powerful than INS (if anything its less).

People are already paying a 7-10% sales tax, you want to raise that to 35%? thats how you end up with revolution.

That was the fundamental weakness in the articles of confederation, the feds were funded by appropriations from the states.

I've always wondered if someone could build a new FPGA based 68k mac, I know this isnt that, but it brings the thought to mind.

I used to look forward to RD in the pre internet times, it was great medium form reading.

Who collects taxes then? This is the same rationale I hear from the people who are saying "Abolish ICE" - someone must enforce the rules, if we dont like the rules we should change them.

That was just an incredible read.

TPF as far as I can tell has never caused an issue with downtime. When delta had their big outage deltamatic/deltaterm was still chugging along, but no one could log into it because all the windows machines were down.

Most are - irony of irony is that when Delta had its big outage due to CrowdStrike, dealtamatic/deltaterm was still running just fine, but no one could get into it because all of their windows machines were locked out. At the core of m

I wish it was easier to buy a portable radio with one. Though admittedly I tend to use mostly vintage radios - as such I do most of my shortwave listening on a Zenith T-O which is pretty wonderful both in audio quality and capacity to pull

I have used a synchronous AM detector once in a radio, its a game changer for listening to shortwave.
