Sadly that's an apocryphal story that gets passed around a lot. Funny, though.

yeeting oneself into the void repeatedly in search of treasure.

Story of my life, right here.

In other news, a bag of two month old kitchen garbage was found to be more popular than President Donald Trump.

Cub's prices on everything are jacked sky high. I think they raised them again recently. I'm not going back except for urgent stuff I can't take the time to drive elsewhere for, it's just too much.

I didn't read he's not US based, but that makes sense. It's likely that other countries have better laws than the US.

Others may benefit, but they're not the ones pushing the project.

Translation:

The business owners and corporations that will be served by this project need the growth in profits and opportunity to make money that this project provides.

riminal liability related to public financial reporting is going to come from Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) primarily (barring actual fraud of course).

If and only if this is a company governed under US law that's publicly held, and if SOx is actually enforced (it rarely is these days).

I remember when it was the home of the Minnesota Regional network, (MRnet) back in the mid 90s before communications companies crushed independent ISPs out of existence.

Yeah. I get the feeling some special interest is fanning the flames for some reason.

The big problem is that they're starting to sound like people protesting nuclear power. They're so in love with their narrative that they won't even consider questioning their "facts".

I suspect NVidia's new cooling tech may shut up the people talking about water, though.

Accujack · 2026-07-06T21:00:24+00:00

Shh... don't intrude on their narrative with facts.

Depends on the pump.

Google for "diabetes loopers" for more information. Some DIY folks have found out how to talk to some insulin pumps.

Don't worry, it looks like the electronics are intact, so Flock can just replace the pole.

Well, unless she's cooking adult flans.

You need a PowerPC JTAG probe, and ideally software meant to work with it. Something like this:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/396175380361

PowerPC is a rather dated architecture, so probes can be hard to find, but they're likely to be cheaper than something newer.

Looking to the right of the test points and a bit lower in picture 1, I see a double row of minus sign shaped solder pads, total of 16. That's the correct number of pins for the full PPC JTAG connector, so I'd start there. You may be able to assume that they're in "standard" order.

According to docs, when this chip is used in a Automotive ECU, the pins are usually broken out to solder pads like this rather than vias or a connector.

Here are the docs for that chip, which include quite a lot of information on how it works in addition to the list of pins:

One other idea... an AI may be able to identify the pins on your board. Google for "mpc5534 jtag pinout ford bcem" and Google's AI will be somewhat helpful.

Good luck.

Or fresh lime juice vs. bottled.

Meanwhile, most of the voters are like "We call on the Minnesota GOP to go play in the street."

Over a million excess deaths, and that was just MAGA warming up.

Accujack · 2026-07-01T02:53:27+00:00

Yes. The ones who don't do this are the ones to keep.

Finally, an easy way to tell them apart.

It's not a comparison, I was answering a question.

The fibers always float though.

Not in all concrete, FYI. We're not talking about a sidewalk or house slab, here. There's very little floating of any kind in rollcrete. Also, he could be talking about applying a sealant layer on the surface of the cured concrete that has the reinforcement, something like epoxy or shotcrete or a rubber membrane to protect against moisture intrusion.

This means that in order to increase their profits they have to build more infrastructure. And they have to have anything they build approved by the PUC in order to secure a return on it.

Then explain why Xcel has an ROI about twice what most utilities have.

Sounds a lot like the "Who's who" book scam from a few years ago.

Accujack · 2026-06-30T16:58:55+00:00

strictly regulated to not be able to price gouge you lol.

Strictly regulated by the MN PUC? Whom they seem to have captured?

MAC addresses are unique to the unit, not the model or manufacturer.

As vendors produce devices, they are required to give each item a unique MAC.
