Last Notes npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt That museum is a hidden gem! npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt a long time ago I was talking with another engineer about our common experience with the same counselor at a university we both attended in the 1980's. He told her flat out that she would never be a good engineer because she was a woman. There are still a lot of those types in academia. npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt We had a cat whose title was "Fly Catcher." She stalked any that managed to get into the house and would always look so satisfied after chewing up and swallowing her latest victim. Miss that old girl... npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt We don't have "A Sale of Two Titties" by Darles Chickens npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt and they felt they had to blather on about that tripe instead of broadcasting Jamie Raskin's speech. No wonder Harris isn't relying on them to communicate her agenda like Biden tried to. npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt I've played Mrs. Miller's recordings for similar effect... npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt until someone decides to start using C++23 stuff and your compiler is 2 years old. npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt Why does it seem that when it comes to major European calamities, Hungary can be relied upon to ally itself with the wrong side? npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt most of them start out with "let me tell about my last Caribbean cruise" with 20 ads before you can get to the actual recipe. npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt that's a win for the MRLP!! npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt these utter morons think they're the only ones with guns. And, by the way, the term "Second American Revolution" has already been used by the failed Confederate States of America. They also assumed the rest of the United States wouldn't fight. npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt I think a reason the my partner and I have been for 36 years is being able to forget stuff like that. Also, therapy. npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt Borrowing a Rohde & Schwarz spectrum analyzer while I bring my HP 8560 back from the dead. It runs Windows XP Embedded and wanted me to log in before it would bring up the spectrum analyzer application. I get that at the time Visual C had the best environment - but wow, what a pig of a startup process. npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt we have a big wild patch of milkweed and other native plants on an impossible to mow hill in front of our house. Both neighbors hate it, which is just fine with us. npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt This Old House turned into "This Million Dollar Renovation". And don't get me started on the expensive gimmes in The New Yankee Workshop npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt I was one of the "Fat Men" on our track team, doing shot mostly. For me it was a fun way to spend time with my high school friends and go to the occasional track meet. The other thing it did was to instill an appreciation for athletes who devote their all to getting that 16-pound hunk of iron as far down the line as possible. npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt I used to have some friends who lived in Cedar Rapids but had relatives in my area. I always made sure to ask them about potatoes when they visited. npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt Intriguing... npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt Debian: because that's what I first booted in 1988. npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt I figured that out when the nuns told me my dog wasn't going to heaven. npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt I remember this chain called Carnegie Deli where the sandwiches were so comically large you had to use cutlery to eat enough of the corned beef before you could lift half the sandwich off the plate. It was big enough for leftovers two times over. npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt The last time I wrote an NMI handler it was for a Z80! npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt Typical CEO mentality. npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt Supposedly pizza is a high profit margin commodity. I used to know a fellow who owned and ran several Italian restaurants in the D.C. metro area. I learned a lot about how difficult it is to make really good pizza at scale, and why so many restaurants try and fail at it. It truly is one of those things that is simple in concept, but incredibly complicated when it comes to the process of making something people will go out of their way to buy. npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt likely because the average agent who needs to use a one time pad can't process more than five characters at a time during encode/decode. Using fewer would be less efficient. I think David Kahn's book "The Code Breakers" covers this in detail. npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt that's not a German invention. One time pads and 5-character groupings are older than radio itself. npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt I worked on a couple of satellites for a TRW subcontractor. npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt EX-TEMPORATE! npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt just ended my 30+ year subscription to WP. R.I.P. npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt I call them Basal Bombers, for the basal cell carcinoma that's in their fiture. npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt They forget that shunning is also protected speech. npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt they'll start quoting Ayn Rand and chanting "Must Increase Shareholder Value" at any moment... npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt mindless Russian dupe npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt ... And the head coach wants no sissies, so he reads to us from something called "Ulysses." -- Camp Granada npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt I have used Debian since the 1980's and I've never been happier with not depending on Microsoft for anything! npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt Isn't he from Wisconsin? Total cheese bro. npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt "Increasing Shareholder Value" npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt I am old enough to remember when Blockbuster moved into a local shopping center and drove out my favorite mom and pop video rental place. npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt I only bark at meal times. Especially when the service is slow... npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt I received some recruitment spam from SpaceX a while ago. I can't imagine working in that cesspit of a company. npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt my favorite Raspberry Pi is the RP2. I ended up with a bunch of them used for prototyping, and they have since been put to work doing small things in the lab with 100% uptime npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt Orbital Sciences (now gobbled up by Northrop Grumman) had the winged midsection of one of their Pegasus boosters wash up on an island somewhere. Same sort of befuddlement happened about who owned it. Eventually NASA claimed it and shipped it to the Dulles facility, where it was cleaned up, bolted to some other non functional Pegasus prototype structures and donated to the Smithsonian's Udvar Hazy extension of the Air and Space Museum. npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt My grandmother used to have mixed feelings about John XXIII - on the one hand she would say she loved the man, then on the other she'd be really critical of the Vatican II changes. npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt You would think as a Roman Catholic she would know that historically her religion was persecuted and despised right along with immigrants, people of color and just about anyone else hate groups wanted ejected from the United States.
