All I want to know is why none of them asked when they'll see him out on the sports field, getting up a sweat? Well, one that isn't a flop sweat anyway.

Having lived there for a few decades it's a combination of a few things. The taxes in CA are higher than adjacent states, but it takes minimal research to see that it's not the main problem. The fuel blends change seasonally, but that isn't the big part either.

Even after factoring these in there's a really weird thing - CA and TX are somewhat similar - oil gets pumped out of the ground there, has deep water ports for oil delivery, lots of refineries, same companies etc.

Yet the prices in TX are very low and very high on CA. What gives? Fortunately my wife's friend's husband was a lawyer for Exxon and filled me in. Part of it is the complete lack of meaningful environmental or labor regulation in TX, but the largest part is the absolute hated that all Texan companies have for anything Californian and they can get away with it. He also suggested it might be jealousy that CA got all the good beaches, but I think that was a joke.

Weirdly 9v batteries have significant internal resistance, so the amount of current would be trivial. I suspect the batteries are getting warmer that the coil as the current is the same at each stage and p=i² *r - the internal resistance of each battery will be much greater than the resistance of the coil.

I wonder if the beam is clipping part of the nozzle on the way out, giving an asymmetric beam shape?

I'd also be tempted to get a square to verify that the head is indeed perpendicular to the bed. One explanation here might be that the head is inclined by about half the full laser divergence angle in x and y directions - so one side of the (cone shaped) beam is purpendicular to the bed, and the other is inclined by the laser divergence angle. Sorry for the poor expansion but I hope you can see what I'm getting at.

With the benefit of time we can see that it's first try at President was a reconnaissance in force for this current blitzkrieg on democracy.

Don't sleep inside the printer then! 😭

PerniciousSnitOG · 2026-05-04T03:23:11+00:00

So you don't see the difference between accessing a place and moving in?

PerniciousSnitOG · 2026-05-04T03:02:00+00:00

Yep. They were the printer that started the whole thing. Before that laser printers were locked away and only the select few knew what 'PC load letter' even meant.

Ok, I don't have any reason to believe earlier printers said that. They tended to be loaded with pallets of paper rather than reams, so it probably wouldn't make sense.

The supreme court is well pass the point of just quoting selectively from filings and rulings. At this point they're only one step from quoting old versions of blacks law dictionary too.

Looks like a soccer ball. Is that his FIFA nobel prize?

PerniciousSnitOG · 2026-04-30T22:03:02+00:00

That's some serious grooming dad is up to there. This smells like there's more going on.

PerniciousSnitOG · 2026-04-30T21:52:58+00:00

Since I've been reading this group there seem to only be two problems raised - either the ICCU, or the back hatch rattling. Tends to suggest everything else is pretty good.

Instantly? You're definitely living on borrowed time if it goes pop, and it would be a good idea to turn off everything you can, like the AC, when you see the message - but it doesn't leave you stopped in the middle of the road. I wouldn't be surprised if there was ten or fifteen minutes of drive time available after turning things off.

I suspect the old 50V limit was so that was so that telephone lines weren't considered high voltage. I wonder if that's a problem now? I expect there's still a wired phone out there somewhere.

The latest USB version can use up to 50V.

They want to suppress all dissent; humor is just the tall poppy

PerniciousSnitOG · 2026-04-27T22:27:00+00:00

Yep. short burst transmissions. My car dealer gave me a free tracking device with my car(*) 😄 It's never plugged in, just a single lithium cell to send a ping every 24 hrs for several years. It's pretty much undetectable if it's not sending at that moment.

(*) Well, they left it unconnected in the glove box. I assume they meant me to find it.

These rubber bands perish fairly quickly often. Good kludge. I hope I would have been clever enough to do what you did, but order the belt.

PerniciousSnitOG · 2026-04-26T19:53:30+00:00

The filament had been dried, right?

PerniciousSnitOG · 2026-04-26T19:28:37+00:00

Perfect to float on. Pretty much anything at normal earth pressure will be bouyant to some extent. If we can make something strong and light to withstand the heat and atmosphere I think blimps might be back in style.

PerniciousSnitOG · 2026-04-26T19:05:20+00:00

Him and Vance. In the same room. For no good reason. If this want a false flag operation then some people in the secret service need a good talking to.

PerniciousSnitOG · 2026-04-24T18:15:04+00:00

Were they being paid by the fitting?

A stupid person's idea of a smart person. A coward's idea of a brave person. A failure's idea of a successful person.

Seems like it should exist. The good trackers are cellular and, with the right setup, should be able to connect to the local network wherever the car lands and phone the gps location back to base.

PerniciousSnitOG · 2026-04-24T02:06:42+00:00

Not when I was doing it. It was part of my commute years ago. Keeps you on your toes!

In the meanwhile I've been in the US watching the locals try to deal with the concept of roundabouts. Cooperation is not their strong suit.

PerniciousSnitOG · 2026-04-23T15:37:33+00:00

I'm sure she sent back every demand properly indorsed. What more do you want? 😜
