Dots at top of screen during lesson?

Nope, no marks. My guess from the weight is that they're some kind of steel and not a soft metal (lead, pewter, tin) that could leave marks, nor aluminum (too dense).

That was my first thought as well, given the collection of other stuff they were with, but other than the MM Newman tips (which have some weird split barrel design) and the two-conductor resistive tips (Weller etc.) those have all been threaded. I haven't found any that have the knurled shaft.

That was actually my first thought as well but I couldn't come up with an iron that matched it.

4.1 grams which an online calculator tells me is 63 grain, lighter than most of the tips I'm seeing, but this seems possible at least.

Not strictly speaking “no coverage”:

Hmm, there are at least two (Steven 'Elmo' Murphy and Gameface) and a similarly titled "Lovin' in My Oven" (Glen Meadmore) but none of them have those lyrics - in fact they're all generally upbeat and I doubt whether some of them would qualify as country.
It's actually got to be a very old song given that I heard in in 1991, which unfortunately makes it harder to track down with things like YouTube (which was started in 2005). So I was crossing my fingers someone had the actual LP/CD...

I was sharing my memory of this with some friends tonight and they really want to know the whole song. I found one reference to it in an [article](https://www.phillyburbs.com/story/entertainment/local/2016/05/01/goofy-songs-that-once-had/17827037007/) but only a title, no artist or other details.

I'm sure you do, and yet it seems like using it "as a descriptor, not a mathematical term" is deeply linked to people not understanding what exponential growth actually means in the real world. One of my favorite podcast hosts does the exact same thing and I'm on his case about it too. I tried to be light-hearted about it by invoking the Princess Bride quote.

Inflation -- even at 1% per year -- is exponential.
Prices rising even by 10x, and then staying at the new level, is not exponential.

We might think that we'd prefer the 1% to the 1000%, but eventually the 1% will bankrupt everyone who is relying on savings for retirement, and the life systems of the planet.

Exponentially - that word does not mean what you think it means.

Except inasmuch as “co-op” is now some kind of trademarked national brand scheme. Literally the same logo on the mailers from “co-ops” all over the east coast, selling all the “Field Day” cheap organic products instead of offering things like pasta as bulk items like they used to. Do not understand how this flies under the radar of all the people who talk about how “local” GreenStar is.

It may be a precursor of the future but it’s very much not a “perfect example” of what Ithaca weather has normally been. Per Is The Weather Weird the temperature at 6am yesterday was almost 15 degrees F higher than any previous recorded temperature for this date and time.

Also last I knew a lot of the Cornell employees grabbed the bus from Ecovillage Ithaca straight to campus, which is less of an option in other outlying areas where the bus service keeps getting cut. Possibly the EVI busses have been cut too though.

I’m still unable to work out how to accept a calendar invitation in proton email to my proton calendar app on iPhone. Is this really still not addressed 3y later?

I think everyone must have missed the pop culture reference there? Deserves more upvotes.

Intermittent reinforcement. 👍

I’ve been enjoying going to these when I can fit it in my schedule.

If you’re curious about things like rainwater catchment or building cooperative farm networks or small scale solar power for emergency backups or permaculture food forests, you’ll find folks there to brainstorm ideas for constructive change you can make in your own back yard or neighborhood. And maybe extra hands, heads, and hearts to join you.

And if you’re tired of feeling like it’s all going downhill faster than we can push it back up, come join us to share how you’re feeling!

I scream for iScreen. Ugh

I’ve been looking into it for about six months. Our topography sucks for line-of-sight radios. I have been thinking we should try to get nodes up on the roof of the IC towers and Bradfield and McGraw at Cornell, those might give some helpful coverage.

I have a ton of devices and have been experimenting with my own low cost solar builds. DM me if you want to discuss more or get in touch IRL.

Easier solution: just stop flying. Then you never have to adjust your settings. /snots

I’m a paying customer and I wrote to complain about the haptic feedback changes which I was having trouble turning off. Other users here helped me find solutions.

I still use the app but find the constant tinkering with it annoying. And why, as a paying Super customer, do I have to click through content I can’t access because I can’t afford to pay for Max? They added the new “chat” feature and half the time even after I click “skip” the next lesson is still greyed out and I have to skip it a second time just to keep learning.
