I am retired in Southern California after working on the computational side of chemistry, medical electronics, environmental monitoring, motion pictures, and even some web commerce.

Last Notes npub1p0mmwvqddz9pekjspatuf598ryt0r5g2acxsa44tlqv4ldkft4uspuex6h John Socks That might explain why many Republicans do draw that line now. npub1p0mmwvqddz9pekjspatuf598ryt0r5g2acxsa44tlqv4ldkft4uspuex6h John Socks One of my earliest, and I still think correct, opinions about Donald Trump is that he is just one of those crazy old dudes watching Fox News. npub1p0mmwvqddz9pekjspatuf598ryt0r5g2acxsa44tlqv4ldkft4uspuex6h John Socks Two, that I see so far, of our dragonfruit flowered today. Blossoms are about a foot across. They only bloom for 24 hours and then wilt. The wilted flower provides the tail to the dragon of the fruit. npub1p0mmwvqddz9pekjspatuf598ryt0r5g2acxsa44tlqv4ldkft4uspuex6h John Socks I for one have made a pass through my phone to delete all the apps I don't think I *really* need. npub1p0mmwvqddz9pekjspatuf598ryt0r5g2acxsa44tlqv4ldkft4uspuex6h John Socks "Android Police: A new Android malware is emptying bank accounts and wiping devices" npub1p0mmwvqddz9pekjspatuf598ryt0r5g2acxsa44tlqv4ldkft4uspuex6h John Socks That's solar setup sounds awesome. npub1p0mmwvqddz9pekjspatuf598ryt0r5g2acxsa44tlqv4ldkft4uspuex6h John Socks Here is a better article, where someone did the work. npub1p0mmwvqddz9pekjspatuf598ryt0r5g2acxsa44tlqv4ldkft4uspuex6h John Socks "Car and Driver: Are Hybrids Better for the Environment?" npub1p0mmwvqddz9pekjspatuf598ryt0r5g2acxsa44tlqv4ldkft4uspuex6h John Socks "For July 2024, the statistics website is showing Linux at 4.45%, climbing almost a half a percentage point from June's 4.05% high." npub1p0mmwvqddz9pekjspatuf598ryt0r5g2acxsa44tlqv4ldkft4uspuex6h John Socks Safety hint, if you are going to show pedestrians crowding the Golden Gate Bridge, to illustrate how cars are favored over pedestrians. npub1p0mmwvqddz9pekjspatuf598ryt0r5g2acxsa44tlqv4ldkft4uspuex6h John Socks is that the book that says "relax, don't worry, have a homebrew?" npub1p0mmwvqddz9pekjspatuf598ryt0r5g2acxsa44tlqv4ldkft4uspuex6h John Socks you can carry an orange emergency blanket or poncho for a couple ounces, and have that even if you want to look cool in non-emergencies. npub1p0mmwvqddz9pekjspatuf598ryt0r5g2acxsa44tlqv4ldkft4uspuex6h John Socks that second picture, with the humans clustered on the boardwalk where they think it is safe, reminds me a lot of penguins at the edge of the ice. npub1p0mmwvqddz9pekjspatuf598ryt0r5g2acxsa44tlqv4ldkft4uspuex6h John Socks Good thing we have to deal with all the bullshit that is UEFI and Microsoft designed Secure Boot, to prevent this kind of thing from happening. npub1p0mmwvqddz9pekjspatuf598ryt0r5g2acxsa44tlqv4ldkft4uspuex6h John Socks Ouch. npub1p0mmwvqddz9pekjspatuf598ryt0r5g2acxsa44tlqv4ldkft4uspuex6h John Socks Elon's not going to take my advice, but I say: npub1p0mmwvqddz9pekjspatuf598ryt0r5g2acxsa44tlqv4ldkft4uspuex6h John Socks That seems slightly surprising. I would assume the cans were chilled before opening and: npub1p0mmwvqddz9pekjspatuf598ryt0r5g2acxsa44tlqv4ldkft4uspuex6h John Socks I hang out with people who were once refugees from Southeast Asia. I have literally had some ask me "what's with all these refugees at the southern border?" npub1p0mmwvqddz9pekjspatuf598ryt0r5g2acxsa44tlqv4ldkft4uspuex6h John Socks I think Costco had those before, and long enough ago that I got one for Christmas and kept it until expiration. npub1p0mmwvqddz9pekjspatuf598ryt0r5g2acxsa44tlqv4ldkft4uspuex6h John Socks when I was hiking this past weekend, brewing came up. Did I brew? My answer was that I was a chem major, we all brewed. My buddy recommended that I do it again. npub1p0mmwvqddz9pekjspatuf598ryt0r5g2acxsa44tlqv4ldkft4uspuex6h John Socks if you have other active brews you could do it the old fashioned way, and siphon off a bit of dregs. npub1p0mmwvqddz9pekjspatuf598ryt0r5g2acxsa44tlqv4ldkft4uspuex6h John Socks With cans of extract you can open them and then warm in a double boiler. Not to boiling of course. npub1p0mmwvqddz9pekjspatuf598ryt0r5g2acxsa44tlqv4ldkft4uspuex6h John Socks I can certainly see how honest and earnest posters could take advantage of reply filtering. But you know, we've always got to flip it to think how malefactors might benefit. npub1p0mmwvqddz9pekjspatuf598ryt0r5g2acxsa44tlqv4ldkft4uspuex6h John Socks excessive window tint is always a bad sign if you come from a bicycling background. npub1p0mmwvqddz9pekjspatuf598ryt0r5g2acxsa44tlqv4ldkft4uspuex6h John Socks There is some interesting data here: npub1p0mmwvqddz9pekjspatuf598ryt0r5g2acxsa44tlqv4ldkft4uspuex6h John Socks I can see that, but I also think about the vastnesses of time that a modern CPU will be doing nothing. That's certainly true for an unstressed CPU with lots of free memory (paging is not allowed). npub1p0mmwvqddz9pekjspatuf598ryt0r5g2acxsa44tlqv4ldkft4uspuex6h John Socks I started doing real-time work in the 1980s with 8-bit processors. Somehow I came out of it with a grayscale image of what is real-time, rather than black and white. It all depends on latency requirements and how much is offloaded to driver chips. npub1p0mmwvqddz9pekjspatuf598ryt0r5g2acxsa44tlqv4ldkft4uspuex6h John Socks if you use zero w's you can connect them all by Wi-Fi npub1p0mmwvqddz9pekjspatuf598ryt0r5g2acxsa44tlqv4ldkft4uspuex6h John Socks I enjoyed that video, but I did think about whether its advantages over the raspberry pi zero were conceptual more than real? npub1p0mmwvqddz9pekjspatuf598ryt0r5g2acxsa44tlqv4ldkft4uspuex6h John Socks My secret NAS is completed. npub1p0mmwvqddz9pekjspatuf598ryt0r5g2acxsa44tlqv4ldkft4uspuex6h John Socks Crushing things seems like a different energy, from say ..
