Here’s the thing: fuck the ayatollah and his mullahs and fuck Hamas (neither of those bastards would hesitate to put a bullet in the head of an atheist apostate like me) but that doesn’t mean you attack the people of Iran (most of whom oppose the regime) or Palestine (who also suffer under the yoke of Hamas – an organisation that, furthermore, was funded and supported by Netanyahu’s regime to sabotage the peace process).

If you cannot separate authoritarian regimes from the people being oppressed by them, and if you condone the indiscriminate slaughter of the latter, then don’t be surprised when the same rules end up applying to you… given the way things are going in the United States, for example.

We have rules of combat and international law for a reason. It’s not because we’re morally superior; far from it. It’s because we don’t want that same shit done to us. That’s a dangerous thing to forget.

In 1960, the station was sold to the "Far East Broadcasting Company", which changed the format to chiefly Christian religious programming. The station ceased operation in 1994, and its antenna field was razed soon afterward.

Fortunately, the transmitter house survives and remains in excellent condition. It currently belongs to a wastewater treatment plant located adjacent to the site. I believe the building is now leased out as office space.

KGEI was a 250KW commercial shortwave international radio broadcast station. Originally constructed, owned and operated by General Electric, the station opened in 1939 on San Francisco's Treasure Island. In 1941, it moved to a permanent site in Redwood City. This building housed the transmitter and control facilities; the exterior walls are three feet thick, to better resist any WW II enemy bombings. At the time, KGEI was the only US broadcast station capable of reaching across the Pacific.

This modest but handsome, art-deco-accented building was built in 1941 to house the transmitter for "KGEI", a commercial shortwave radio broadcast station whose programming could be heard across the Pacific. It shut down for good in 1994.

(And yes, the Font Awesome Power-Up offers a configurable default size value that is passed to the inline SVG as a width or height value, so your SVGs won’t be hilariously massive on CSS Naked Day. Neato will help you celebrate web dev holidays without looking like an animal. 😄)

Dialing in the #Neato tagging syntax as part of the Power-Up architecture. Power-Ups can register one or more tag prefixes to define functions.

For instance, want to use a Font Awesome icon? You can just do:

{fa:solid/ice-cream}

To display this icon:

https://fontawesome.com/icons/ice-cream?f=classic&s=solid

And it’ll displayed as an actual embedded inline SVG, which is way better than using the Font Awesome icon font or their JS-based display methods. (Why? Because your icons will still show up on CSS Naked Day, lol.)
