Apparently I can have a cup of coffee with a harmless snake.

We visited the Snake Cafe before we left Taitung. The owner of the place is a retired professor with a research specialty in snakes. The cafe aims to be a place where people can know more about snakes (a "snake ecological education cafe"). It has a Facebook page:

Oops! Earth has temporarily lost contact with the Voyager 2 spacecraft.

A series of planned commands sent to the spacecraft on July 21 inadvertently caused its antenna to get mispointed by 2°. NASA can no longer send commands or receive data from Voyager 2 via the DSN.

Voyager 2 is programmed to reset its orientation periodically to keep its antenna pointing at Earth; the next reset will occur on Oct 15, which should restore communications.

the key change that lead to our current bloody situation:

‘Historically, the N.R.A.’s opposition to firearms laws was tempered. Founded in 1871 by two Union Army veterans — a lawyer and a former New York Times correspondent — the association promoted rifle training and marksmanship. It did not actively challenge the Supreme Court’s view, stated in 1939, that the Second Amendment’s protection of gun ownership applied to membership in a “well regulated Militia” rather than an individual right unconnected to the common defense.’

‘Investigators also found an open computer screen that showed the engineer running a Motorola radio programming software. According to the warrant, the software “contained the entire Arnold air force base (AAFB) communications system”… also reported that… he had a USB which contained “administrative passwords and electronic system keys” for the AETC radio network.’

talk about being wide open… and the Air Farce has “secure” systems and processes which allow one to possess and insert a USB-drive??

Would anyone like to do an account takeover of my account one day?
You know, one day of posting whatever is important to you to my audience.
I mean, I have 6.656 followers, so not the world, but there are some great people out there with much smaller reach and arguably more to say.

If you're interested, reach out to me. Offer doesn't expire.

The main PAC funding Trump’s 2024 campaign spends the bulk of its money on legal fees, not only for Trump, also for many of his employees past and present. The entire operation is so shady. It works a lot like organized crime does, with people getting their legal bills paid to ensure loyalty to the top guy. Details reported here (gift access): https://wapo.st/452PZXO

Time for a sticky post on µField Day...

µFD is a monthly ad-hoc ham meeting I put on in Ventura County, open to all hams and clubs. Some months are sponsored by one of the local clubs.

It's a short 4 hour gathering to try stuff out and make sure that portable operation will be easy and familiar if you need it in a pinch. Most months we see 10-15 stations set up.

Details at the new BORED Net website, www.theborednet.net
