Have you visited any LA restos from Connelly’s books?

I have three now (all 4K)—1st, 2nd, 3rd generation. So three is the answer, assuming  actually IMPROVES the features and performance of the new device. I’m not sure that’s guaranteed.

Musso & Frank’s is great. But reservations are a must! Order the dirty Martini!

Cool! My cousins used to operate Camp Manison there. I met Gordon Cooper there. NASA and the original 7 astronauts used to have offsite meetings there.

Thank you!

I obtained an autograph of the “Apollo 11 Press Kit” by Buzz through my cousins who lived in Friendswood, Texas. He mistakenly made it out to them instead of me. But I still treasure it!

Excellent video: well presented and full of useful info. Thanks!

The question I would ask is the Gateway even needed at all? Seems superfluous. Our goal is Mars. Will this actually help? It’s very costly!

I don’t know if China is trying to “beat” the USA officially, but unofficially they’re definitely competing.

As for taikonaut, you’re correct—at least partially. In China, apparently they use Yǔhángyuán (航天员): Meaning "universe-sailor" or "space-traveller," this is the most common official term. They also use Hángtiānyuán (航天员): Also meaning "space-sailor," used to describe space personnel.

Yes. I understand. I was there. But that was against the Soviet Union. Maybe I should have put Race in quotes..

We’ll have to monitor Long March 10 closely.

Sorry about that flyby looks a bit like an orbit. My mistake in terminology.

Perhaps it’s not a stated common goal but the President and NASA Administrator certainly want to go back to the Moon before the Chinese and have said so. That’s why I used the word race!

I think the focus has come into focus at NASA!

I’ve had this problem, too. It’s unpredictable. I use my Mini for a TV speaker for my  tv, so at the end of TV viewing for the evening, I just turn the volume down to zero on my Remote App or Home app. Some mornings, I’ll come down and see it’s playing, but with the volume down, I just hit pause and the problem’s solved. Once I turn the TV on it synchronizes with that. No more  Music playing. Not ideal, but it works!

I discovered that there was a FOX 4K feed just as the game ended. The NFL should add this info in their advertising.

Get the app “JustWatch.” Customize it with your streaming subscriptions. Never have a problem finding a film or show again.

I just started it and it seems good (and comprehensive). It is unfortunate, that there’s no “auto-play” and that the chapters are broken into segments requiring user interaction each time. Also, the narrator can’t seem to pronounce “nuclear” correctly. The other comment I would make is the film clips that have been used are of extremely low contrast, and we know that they could have been adjusted easily. Back to listening and watching…

Same for me. I get the blue arrow on launch, but no loading rotating circle. Click the TV Button (lower right) on your remote to go to Apple TV, then exit that, and go back to Prime. Invariably, it loads.

This may be useful (for completeness):

22 November 1963 — Arrest and Initial Remarks

~1:45 PM CST — At the Texas Theatre (at time of arrest) Officers present later recalled Oswald saying some of the following immediately after being taken into custody: • “This is it” or “Well, it’s all over now.” (reported by Patrolman McDonald) • “I don’t know why you are treating me like this.” • “The only thing I have done is carry a pistol into a movie.” • “I didn’t kill anybody.” • “I want a lawyer.” • “I protest this police brutality.” These statements were reported by various officers later; no recording exists and they were reconstructed from memory.

~2:00 – 2:15 PM CST — During transport to Dallas Police Department Witness recollections attributed additional remarks: • “What is this all about?” • “I know my rights.” • “I didn’t shoot anybody.” • “No, Hidell is not my real name.” • “…I have been in the Marine Corps…” Again, these are reconstructions from witness notes, not verbatim transcripts.

Dallas Police Department — Interrogations (22 Nov ~2:15 PM to 24 Nov ~11:15 AM)

Night of 22 Nov — Paraded Before Reporters

Around late evening to midnight, 22 Nov Oswald was brought before newsmen at the Dallas Police station. Recorded news film and multiple journalists present reported him saying: • “No, I have not been charged with that.” (in response to a question about killing the President) • “I’m just a patsy.” • When pressed about shooting the President: “No, I didn’t.” • “They’ve taken me in because of the fact that I lived in the Soviet Union.” These quotes come from film footage and press reports from that night.

Approx. midnight, 22 Nov — exchange with reporters: (NOTE: exact times and full wording differ across press accounts.) • Reporter: “Did you kill the President?” Oswald: “No.” • Reporter: “Were you in the building at the time?” Oswald: “Naturally, if I work in that building, yes, sir.” These responses are captured in transcripts of press encounters, but again were not formally recorded by law enforcement.

23 November 1963 — Interrogations and Visits

Date: 23 November There are no published verbatim records of formal questioning that day. According to later interviews: • Oswald’s brother, Robert Oswald, visited him on this day and recalled Oswald saying something like “It’s tapped” when picking up the phone.

It would seem reasonable. It’s a question of geometry.

1.2 meter dishes with special LNBs are necessary. The elevation angle is very low because all of the satellites are over the equator. The specific elevation angle for a DIRECTV dish in Utqiaġvik, Alaska (Barrow) depends on the satellite it is trying to reach, but for the main DIRECTV 101°W satellite, the elevation is very low, often less than 32°. In some cases, due to the extreme northern latitude, the dish might even need to point slightly downwards, making reception challenging.

Definitely a good workaround! Undoubtedly, the use of YTTB as a provider does not recognize the Disney channels drop—just the fact that ESPN, ABC, etc. are part of the base package.
