I think of myself as an old hillbilly hippie. I've had several careers: Physics, personal counseling, computer science/software development. Unix/Linux. Now I'm an old retired guy. I read a LOT. I think of myself as a liberal progressive politically. Some people know me as KB6QL. I love the Grateful Dead. I love Gracie Slick. I also love the work of Johann Sebastian Bach. I have loved their work for more than 50 years. Oxford comma. Born at 310ppm CO2. Whatever/whatever

You know Eddie, I sure do wish you would stop putting those horrible, ultra bright white stripes around your images. They make it almost impossible to see the subtle gray tones you do so well.

Oh, thank you for that information! At least we can know that they are aware of it and working on it.

What do you want to bet that it's because somebody has cut a cable in the street somewhere.

You might want to be aware that KFWS, TDAL and TDFW are all unavailable in radarscope since about 3pm Saturday.

This doesn't seem to be true in other apps.

nostr:npub17sha6ku2fxgt7k268u5kedl5pn25dqrd6v9eqem7kj3s2248mnfs7x6e06 saw it when it aired the first time 20-30 odd years ago thanks. You clearly haven't followed me for past 7 years. I take delivery of live turkeys that I fatten for about a month and slaughter. I freeze half for xmas distribution. The thxgiving distribution is 2 days prior to holiday.

Turkeys are flat ass mean. They make rabid badgers and mean girl bullies look happy n nice. Turkeys will peck your Achilles tendon and snap it so you can't get away and then they dogpile with talons n beaks. And that's them being nice. They shit more than an entire NFL stadium of Taco Bell eaters. They CAN fly and will fly at any exposed skin. They are evil incarnate and I do believe they use them to guard the Pope when the Swiss guard is on vacation. These fuckers will kill my livestock in a nanosecond just for fucking fun.

I live in THE poorest county of Delaware, and I do this so the children of single parent seasonal job homes have food for the winter. I know what hunger feels like. To be scared and to hide scraps for later at school, bc you know there is no food for the weekend once you get home. I mail booklets of coupons to the schools, the bus drivers bring coupon kids to my farm on fridays n I give them pick boxes to choose veggies n fruit and a whole roaster chicken for the weekend. I despise politicos who encourage starvation. Babushka bakes bread and sweets to send with the kids. By having the kids come on fridays, they feel strong and safe bc they are feeding their family with what they chose. I supply all the districts in my county with food during the school year. In the summer I host kids camps to teach them nutrition and how to grow veggies at home. Kids in my county want for nothing, all they have to do is tell me they have a need. Bc a full belly and knowledge of meals ahead, means kids can learn. They can concentrate on school. I don't do it for kudos. I do it bc that's what you do in a community. Ppl need food. I grow food. Equation is simple.

Forgive me for living and trying to give you a chuckle.

nostr:npub17sha6ku2fxgt7k268u5kedl5pn25dqrd6v9eqem7kj3s2248mnfs7x6e06 That is true! But I also worry that we are alive in the time humans chose to eradicate themselves in stead of reacting quick enough🤨

Thee and mee too. I certainly share that fear.

nostr:npub17sha6ku2fxgt7k268u5kedl5pn25dqrd6v9eqem7kj3s2248mnfs7x6e06 Heat pumps are becoming more common here too. And boring for what we call "ground heat" (geothermal heating). Electric heating is already very sustainable in Norway, as most of our electricity comes from hydroelectric plants. We have plenty of that here, no gas never made much sense, except in cabins who are not connected to the grid.

My in-laws have kitted out their house with both ground heat and solar panels on the roof. It's not gonna take many years to make up the cost. Great stuff

I think it in a lot of ways, you and I are very lucky to be alive at this time. You will get to see more of the back end of this change than I will, but seeing the world changing to more sustainable and healthy technology is a real privilege.

It's a fine piece, isn't it. I clearly remember when it was new. They were being so creative.

Ok you, post a good picture of my friend Aaron David. It's good to have an image in one's mind as one talks to a friend.

I wish you could have been at a grateful Dead concert. They were just sort of pick you up and float you away. It was one of the more amazing experiences I've ever had.

You know, at some point in the near future, we ought to get on the phone or some audio connection and just share our life stories. I think yours would be very interesting. And mine has certainly been varied.

Are you on signal private messenger? I am and have been on for years now. Outside of Mastodon, it's the only texting service I normally use.
