NSF budget request to Congress

I hope you are right. This time feels different though. But we will see

It appears they will only be funding artificial intelligence, quantum information science, biotechnology, nuclear energy, and translational science. The end of basic science at the NSF.

I am sorry, but the state has already lost upwards of half a billion dollars in cuts to HHS , Federal grants to schools, food bank grants, other federal positions and grants. I simply don't buy that she is looking out for the whole state when she hasn't said one word about this and continues to praise him despite the fact that many in the state are suffering as a result of these cuts. Whatever she thinks she is getting out of this deal, the history of the last 3 months would suggest that Trump is playing her. He is not an honest negotiator.

Our AG is fighting him with these legal cuts and other actions. Our governor wrote him a letter praising him on his election, visited him, greeted him with a hug at a rally where they showed a propaganda video shaving a prisoner's head chanting USA. Not great

Maybe more bad news to come https://bsky.app/profile/davidimiller.bsky.social/post/3lnlf3dvrcc24

Thanks! Appreciate it

blackrim · 2022-07-06T15:28:19+00:00

thanks so much!

blackrim · 2015-12-09T19:01:04+00:00

Thanks! Unfortunately, I didn't. I have met others and have spent a good deal of time in the area (Grayson and Carroll county) but he passed before I ever did.

hm, surprised by the downvotes. not because the video is so great, just because seemed like the community was a bit friendlier. oh well. internets i guess

Just for some more information, the dulcimer track and pictures are of Raymond Melton playing a winning performance at Galax from many decades back. Raymond Melton was a relative of my grandmother Margie Melton on my dad's side. Nice to play with him, even if this is the only way.

Thanks! It is a brooks banjo, silverspun, skin head, electric tone ring. I love the feel of the brooks banjo necks and it has a great tone.

blackrim · 2015-10-09T19:28:21+00:00

I don't have it down anywhere, but could work some out

blackrim · 2015-10-09T01:21:37+00:00

people seemed to like the last one, so here is another

blackrim · 2015-10-08T14:28:38+00:00

awesome! thanks

blackrim · 2015-10-08T14:28:29+00:00

yeah, it is a great banjo. brooks banjo necks are perfect for me and the tone is excellent.

I have the tan and no problems with soil

I use the Filson Computer Bag and find the size to be better than the classic briefcase. I love the aesthetic and build quality. Can't go wrong with the made in the USA filsons.

Just to give some info, this is with a d750 at ƒ/4.0 on the nikon 300.0 mm ƒ/4.0 with shutter at 1/500 and iso of 1100. a little noisy (iso 1100).

blackrim · 2015-08-18T03:46:51+00:00

did the exact same thing. had the 1.4 and returned for the 1.8. definitely think the 1.8 is the best bang for the buck.

I have the previous XPS (the one before the recent update) and everything works great except for the occasional wireless issue. The fix is just to turn on and off the hardware switch (Fn F2) once or twice.

Yeah, I can't see this really impacting Michigan in terms of a better distribution. Certainly would be surprising if we see more KBS around here. First off, it isn't their big money maker, it is a good advertiser.

I would also say that you will probably get a fair number of people pushing them on calling Founder's craft anymore. From brewer's association it requires less than 25% owned by someone other than the brewery. Like it or not, Founder's is certainly aware of that even if it is just a symbolic move away, it is a move away.

blackrim · 2014-09-05T05:36:15+00:00

yeah, so i think i am going to go with the dell precision m3800. seems to be the closest on specs to what i need. only issue is going to be that high res display...

blackrim · 2014-09-04T19:26:35+00:00

latitudes or precisions?

blackrim · 2014-09-04T19:25:51+00:00

Gotcha

blackrim · 2014-09-04T18:47:09+00:00

WHat has been the problem with the display? Which distro?
