OK HOLD UP EVERYTHING, DID "NESTER'S FUNKY BOWLING" FOR THE VIRTUAL BOY FEATURE A GIRL NESTER??
In a black-and-white-Macintosh-looking bowling alley is a girl who looks a little like "Nester" from Nintendo Power.

Hester

Hester is the sister of Nester. She only appeared in Nester's Funky Bowling for the Virtual Boy. You thought Nester was bad? You should get a load of his over-confident twin sister, Hester.

Two places where the Grand Portage hiking trail crosses the old LS&M railroad route (late 1800's vintage.) Sadly in one spot someone had pulled up and dumped a load of garbage. Some people really suck. 🙁 Getting that feeling more often than I'd like lately. 🙁

Ok, here we go... A glimpse of my daughter's 5th grade homework. 🤣
A screenshot of the homework. It reads: Martin Luther is one of the most goated guys ever. ML (Martin Luther) saw that the church was technically stealing the people's money. M.L was a monk when he realized this. He noticed that the bible said nothing about paying the church, and he got frustrated. He told the church about this issue, and the church tried to silence him but failed. He was livid, knowing that the church wouldn't do anything about it. Frustrated, he wrote his ninety-five theses. The ninety-five theses basically had him ranting about how wrong the church teachings were. Luckily the printing press was a thing, because he slapped that thesis on and copied it. He had done it. More and more people were questioning the church and joining M.L's side.

This is what the 3d probe currently looks like. The stack height is 14 mm with the springs compressed to what I think is the right working pressure. I'm cutting the housing right now.
Designed in #freecad printed in PLA.
I have a neat idea for a clamp tool so I can push the probe body solidly against the bearings for swapping probe tips. It's just a wedge, tbh.

@poleguy yeah. The center bit will have a probe tip sticking downward and all this is held in a container that clamps in my mill spindle. When the probe tip touches anything in +/-x or y or -z it will lose contact on one of the conducting surfaces and signal the CNC mill that it just hit an edge. This will let me quickly and accurately locate hole centers and work edges/corners. I was trying to figure out how to wire to bearing balls. As it happens, standard electrical solder works fine.

Well this is a charming little thing I've been meaning to make for years and finally got around to printing. It's two concentric eccentrics (with little pins so I can adjust the eccentrics) and lets me position the hole at any point within the outer eccentric. I've been meaning to use something like this for microadjusting worms to wormgears. Now I have to figure out how to make it clamp so it doesn't shift in use.
It works quite well. Designed in #freecad printer in PLA.

No problem, I got my license as well only one year ago, so lots to learn as well ;)

yes, it is less important for HF, due to the propagation via the ionosphere. since the reflextion will change the polariasation randomly. But as long, as it is still groundwave propagation, polarization matters.

@DA1EE Well I was looking for an excuse to add a JPC-7 as well as my PAC/JPC-12 to my kit — now I realize that I want to have both the horizontal dipole and vertical ground plane (virtual dipole) antennas!

And that will give me extra coils so I can work 80m from parks, so an extra win! 😁

Trump recently suggested #America sell downgraded #f47’s of “10% lesser” potential to #Canada and #EU, positing “we may no longer be allies in the future”.

Now what (or whom) would possess an “ally” to intentionally degrade a friendly weapons systems in advance of a future attack? Asking for #Ukraine this time.

I’m encouraging everyone to get both these dates into your calendar with reminders ahead of each date. A dictator in the making is killing democracy south of us.

#ursula_k_le_guin #LeGuin #anarchism #socialism #captialism

what Ursula K. Le Guin says:

English: The picture shows a drawing of an older woman, the author Ursula K. Le Guin, with short blonde hair and glasses, speaking into a microphone. She is wearing a gray jacket with a blue collar and a black top. The background is a dark, star-studded pattern that conveys a cosmic atmosphere. Le Guin speaks in three speech bubbles. The first speech bubble reads: "WE LIVE IN CAPITALISM. ITS POWER SEEMS INESCAPABLE." The second speech bubble follows: "SO DID THE DIVINE RIGHT OF KINGS." The third speech bubble ends with: "-ANY HUMAN POWER CAN BE RESISTED AND CHANGED BY HUMAN BEINGS." The drawing conveys a message about the transience of power structures and the ability of people to change them. German: Das Bild zeigt eine Zeichnung einer älteren Frau, die Autorin Ursula K. Le Guin, mit kurzen, blonden Haaren und Brille, die in einem Mikrofon spricht. Sie trägt eine graue Jacke mit einem blauen Kragen und ein schwarzes Oberteil. Der Hintergrund ist ein dunkles, sternenbesetztes Muster, das eine kosmische Atmosphäre vermittelt. Die Le Guin spricht in drei Sprechblasen. Die erste Sprechblase lautet: "WE LIVE IN CAPITALISM. ITS POWER SEEMS INESCAPABLE." Die zweite Sprechblase folgt: "SO DID THE DIVINE RIGHT OF KINGS." Die dritte Sprechblase endet mit: "-ANY HUMAN POWER CAN BE RESISTED AND CHANGED BY HUMAN BEINGS." Die Zeichnung vermittelt eine Botschaft über die Vergänglichkeit von Machtstrukturen und die Fähigkeit der Menschen, diese zu verändern.

Over the past week, Russia has launched 1,580 guided bombs, nearly 1,100 attack drones, and 15 missiles of various types against Ukraine, Zelensky reported. He emphasized that these weapons contain at least 102,000 foreign components, proving that sanctions are not working effectively. Every loophole allowing Russia to bypass restrictions must be closed. Pressure on Russia is needed to stop these attacks and end the war.
