Thank you for sharing thins. I agree, although there is surely scientific explanations, nevertheless, we humans have feelings when a loved one passes.

I am an atheist, a science-based person, but I have been in the presence of someone passing a couple of times. I can tell you that, I do not care how science based you are, there is something about this experience that you simply cannot dis

I am old enough to have one and know how to use it. My dad gave me one when I was in high school and said I wanted to be an Engineer. When I went off to college in 1975, he gave me an HP-25, I still have it and it still works. But there is

Big deal. I lost a wife. My fault though, I get it.

Yup, they called amplifiers repeaters and it would boost the analog signal. They would busy it out but the tubes were still hot so the glove was needed.

Yeah, I think maybe that was where it came from but whenever I have searched on it for a link I get a lot of other things like radio repeaters. But it was a real thing for sure.

Oh wow, thanks for that link! We had the old WECO handbook on tubes with all the specs and how to make them and they were tossing them and I grabbed one. I wished I kept more of that stuff.

It will break some people's hearts to hear this perhaps, but way back in the day, around 1976, when I was at Bell Labs, we came up with a solid-state replacement for the 300Bs and other tubes used in repeaters (the word they used for a

I recently went to the AWP Conference ( https://www.awpwriter.org/ ). It was very interesting to walk around the exhibition hall and talk with all these small independent book publishers and presses. I bought a couple of book

Good points. Maybe time to say goodbye.

Maybe too handy.

All of the above, plus, maybe, don't let people see you put in your pin. don't take security for granted. Be careful. I guess the lesson I learned is you need to pay attention to security.

Ugh, yeah, if this was not someone I know, the pictures, yikes !

No, never. HN is pretty much the only social media I use, the rest of it is not really my thing.

I will, assuming I buy him enough drinks, I am sure I will wriggle it out of him. That little F---er.

by zw123456 4y ago
Yeah, I sure want to, especially on April 1st. Maybe I should do and Ask HN, how do I get back at my dickhead friend on April fools day :)

by zw123456 4y ago
I am pretty sure I would not have written "Hey buy me drinks to see how I did this." even if I was CO intoxicated, that seems pretty unlikely.

I have to agree, I was 11 years old when Apollo 11 landed, I thought that by now you could fly there in something like an airplane or that we would have been to Mars. It feels a bit disappointing for sure.

I think he will fess up eventually, but is sort of being a dick about it for sure. I was hoping HN could give me ideas, but now he will probably read this on HN and then really give me a hard time about it.

hmmm, could be, but at the time it happened he was on the other end of town but I wonder if will we were in close proximity he could have connected a BT device somehow and planted something.
116.
by zw123456 4y ago
Yeah, I replied in the thread earlier, I suspect he saw me put my pin in. But at the time it happened he was on the other side of town.

by zw123456 4y ago
Yeah, I sort of feel that way too but maybe also is a good lesson learned.

I have a Galaxy S21 5G with Android 13 I also changed my pin because I suspect he saw me entering it, but when this occurred he was at the other end of town so it would have had to have been some sort of remote access. I am thinking maybe p
