@pomarede Ride it 'till the wheels fall off!

@cR0w dude, I just put in a ubiquiti system and was pretty happy vs my old linksys.

What’d they do this time?

@Plumbert @ai6yr if the history of the Middle East is any indication, it works the opposite with humans.

@ai6yr por que no los dos?

Just about every for-profit major news outlet is oligarch-owned, so these days it’s always option 2, even if it’s also something else.

@ai6yr That's mauna kea? It's always freezing up there, but the fact that it's getting weather is pretty strange. The whole point of putting an observatory up there is because it's above most of the weather.

@Viss @ai6yr I didn't know Northrop had a presence at the Poway business park. (side note - the way to remember how to spell Northrop is "there's no 'up' in Northrop")

I could see why flying drones near their facility would get some people ruffled, though. Doubt the cops would do anything, but depending on what the facility was working on, someone may have done some background checking on you after that incident

@Viss @ai6yr No, but I'm not that far from it. You can't swing a dead cat in the county without hitting a defense contractor.

I have done some work for them, though, via subcontract.

@Viss @ai6yr @h2onolan When I was in school, everyone always joked I'd grow up to make bombs or be a hacker. I personally wanted to develop video games.

I now pentest weapons systems for a living... so I guess they were kinda right on both fronts, and my prediction was *way* off.

@Viss Still better than the cycles wasted mining crypto in the 20s

@ai6yr on one hand, I’m glad our judiciary still has scruples. On the other, I’d love for a petty judge to order contempt holds against folks who say unfounded shit, and do so in a place like rikers.

Politicians deserve the worst of what they allow.

@FaithinBones @VisualStuart @ai6yr It's a good idea if you use a lot of lemon juice, but that requires taking time to juice the fruits. Unfortunately, free time is something I really don't have much of.

I have a calamansi that also produces tons and tons of fruit... any free time I have for juicing I spend juicing those. Calamansi juice (simple lemonade recipe, but sub lemon juice with calamansi juice) is a special kind of amazing, and tastes way better than any lemonade has ever been. When I do have time to pick, juice, and freeze fruit juice, I do that one.

@msbellows I wear them when I visit customer sites in the summer in the fly over states (St. Louis area, among others). You want your long sleeve dress shirt to breathe, but you also don’t want to show your nips to the whole office, and most dress shirts are fairly translucent.

Short of pasties (which could work, but I’ve got hair around my nips so they probably suck to remove), this covers the necessary bits but still leaves room for airflow to your arms and pits.

… as for pit stains, if you’re in St Louis in the summer and you dont’t have them, you’re probably suffering from heat stroke. Wearing a t-shirt won’t save you… it just makes your natural cooling features less effective.

@ai6yr @flyingsaceur @msbellows TBF, I really like A-shirts because many of my dress shirts are slightly translucent, and seeing the outline of an A-shirt is better than see in my nipples, while still being more comfortable than a v-neck t-shirt undershirt, especially in the types of situations that require men to wear a dress shirt.

However, every name must come from somewhere, and I’ve watched enough episodes of COPS to admit I cant refute this one.

@VisualStuart @ai6yr you’d be *shocked* at how much lemon a single tree can produce. We don’t use much, but I have a sign in front of my tree inviting anyone to take what they want… and still we have more than we can use. 2/3 of the tree is picked clean (the remaining grows over a wall into our fenced-in back yard, where neighbors are unlikely to go even with that invitation) and we still have more lemons than my family, extended family, and any friends who come visit can seem to eat. I eventually have to go through and clean the tree because I’ve got lemons rotting on the branch.

Meyer lemon trees are like a monkey’s paw wish for a tree with more lemons.

@inarticulatequilter First I've heard of it. If it's nation-wide, it's not very well advertised.
