The newest addition to my phone collection is this gorgeous red GPO Tele 312
This one was made by Plessey in 1956, and seems to be as-issued - at nearly 70 years old, it deserves some TLC.
The dial is seized solid (most likely a broken dial spring) there's a lot of dirt to get rid of, there are a few minor scratches/blemishes that should polish out, and it needs new cords etc.
The handset is faded, but I might be able to pull that back a bit if I'm lucky
It should clean up /very/ nicely!
The US military has cared about climate change since the dawn of the Cold War – for good reason
During the Cold War, the US poured support into Arctic military outposts and climate research amid fears of a Russian invasion. Climate change is still on the military’s radar as a threat multiplier.The Conversation

the City Museum is the best. When my wife and I went to visit St Louis for a few days, we had plans to see lots of things. Instead, we spent two full days climbing around the museum.
The place is one of a kind. Absolutely no regrets, either.
They have a cave system and human sized steel habitrail tube.
If anyone is looking for an "Alternative" shirt design that still plays off of this year's upcoming #HamRadio #FieldDay theme, but doesn't want to send money to those other folx, I have a new design put up. I also threw in a quantity discount in case anyone wants to get several of these for their club.

The US has sent detainees to El Salvador, ignoring a court order and exposing the detainees to human rights violations.
Last year our FTP homies at The Fire These Times podcast interviewed Michael Paarlberg, associate professor of political science, on what El Salvador's system looks like, where president Nayib Bukele comes from, and how the state of El Salvador is implicated in gang violence.

Oops: Update Accidentally Removes Copilot From Windows
As Microsoft works on a fix, some Windows users say they wish the bug was a feature.Michael Kan (PCMag)
The image features a chandelier with six lava lamps as light sources. The chandelier is ornate, with a dark metal finish and intricate designs. Each lamp is filled with a different colored liquid, creating a vibrant display of blue, green, orange, pink, and yellow hues. The lamps are arranged symmetrically around the central fixture, with the blue lamp prominently positioned in the center. The background is a plain green wall, and the ceiling is painted a warm orange, enhancing the colorful glow of the lamps. The text overlay reads: "Wizard: Why don't you just cast a permanent spell on an object for light in your workshop? Artificer: You're so pedestrian."

I grew up in Ohio, in school we learned next to nothing about the ancient people of the region and I know more about earthworks like this in the UK than I do about the one that was not that far from where I lived. That is to some degree by design. So, I'm delighted that Milo choose this topic.
Also, we were shown (fake) "shrunken heads" as part of our unit on the early americas on a *school* field trip (which makes it sound like I grew up in the 1880s not the 1980s)

The Spectacular Archaeology of the Great Circle Earthworks
Howdy friends today we are going to be taking a step back in time and uncover the mysteries of the Great Circle Earthworks and the broader Hopewell Ceremonia...YouTube
I grew up on the outskirts of the core area of the Hopewell culture (Cincinnati metro) and have been to Newark a few times.
I was fortunate to have a 6th grade teacher during the late 1980s who taught us about indigenous culture throughout the continent, took us to local indigenous sites, and corrected the received cultural and historical inaccuracies. She was easily the most kind and impactful teacher I've had and was a clear exception on this topic from that time period.

This MAGA woman is running for Congress in Texas District 31. The #TrumpMusk regime & especially, Border Czar Homan, likely support Valentina Gomez, & the photo she's shared, which clearly indicates her death wish for undocumented immigrants.
I apologize for posting this disturbing photo from X (VG: 408K X followers), but I believe Americans need to understand the threat that Republican leaders pose.

Ever worried about other users on your Linux server seeing what processes are running? The `hidepid` kernel feature is your friend! It makes processes invisible to anyone but the owner and root user, even in system monitoring tools like ps, top, htop, and btop. This is a great way to prevent sensitive information (like API keys or passwords used in command-line arguments) from being exposed. See how to configure it cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-hide-p… for more info.

in reply to Frankie ✅ • • •The image is a two-panel meme featuring a shirtless young man adjusting his glasses. In the top panel, the man is seen holding his glasses with both hands, looking directly at the camera. The background shows a room with blue wallpaper and shelves filled with various items. To the right, the text "Dungeons & Dragons" is displayed in bold red letters.
In the bottom panel, the man is again adjusting his glasses, but this time with a more serious expression. The background remains the same. To the right, the text "Schedules & Conflicts" is displayed in bold red letters, with a stylized dragon's head replacing the ampersand.
The meme humorously contrasts the excitement of playing Dungeons & Dragons with the frustration of dealing with real-life scheduling conflicts.
