Sorry, this content is not available in your region. Was what I saw. Who their right mind would cart a stiff up a mountain to get rid of it? seems like it was an overdose situation. no idea why the guy did not just call 911. (except that they were both Mexican nationals) road was open by the time I...

will be heading up on the mountain soon for a microwave contest. but there may be a problem. seems someone dumped a body at my favorite mountain top spot. (upper temple overlook) its always something! https://www.wgal.com/article/pa-abuse-of-corpse-gonzalez-larios-moves-dead-body-to-woods-adams/7328...

Question for my fellow Brits. I noticed that most British homes have a Yagi type antenna on the roof. Is this for local HD broadcasts? And if so, why not over the net instead? Roof antennas on this side of the pond are a unicorn today. In the days of analog TV and before cable TV they were on every...

I hope all you left pondians enjoyed your celebrations, and that they concentrated on what brings Americans together to create a special country. mid-afternoon it was 101F yesterday and both the blue and gray wool wearing re-enactors over at the "daniel lady farm" were reported to have be...

I spent 17 months in Pittsburgh. From 8 weeks to 18 months old. Don't remember it! spent one night there in the summer of 1977 (for a job interview). wish I could forget it. Wish you could forget the job interview or Pittsburgh, or both? both. was right out of college. it was the first time I flew....

that clock with extra hands puzzled me. so I googled "clock with two minutes hands", and wadda' ya' know. it really is an interesting story. never heard about that happening anywhere around here. can't imagine pittsburgh and philly ever keeping their own local time. but then again maybe......

Looks like I've opened up another TimeNut rabbit hole (wormhole?). I've always fancied a master clock set up. Someone on a IO group was offering one and a couple of slaves. Only trouble is they are more than 3 hours drive away. But, my brother lives a couple of miles away and is visiting us next we...

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness" "pursuit of happiness"??? surely thomas jefferson did not write that!...

hoochie mama! I like it! but I wouldn't pay more than 25 bucks for one. in fact yesterday I gave a 1741 to a neighborhood college kid who just finished his first year and picked engineering science as his major. (was afraid he was gonna' pick physics). also gave him a 2A 40V regulated bench ps, a fl...

seems like my 651a started out as 75 ohms and was changed to 50 (by swapping one resistor?)

HEY BRITS! have been watching old Dr Who episodes on the Roku "vintage doctor" channel and have developed a craving for "jelly babies". there is a specialty sweet store in downtown gettysburg that carries some foreign goods and might have them (swmbo goes there to buy something c...

OOOOOH!!!

got it now. the razor is not for removing fur.

I was actually converting stone to kilograms and lbs. 2 stone.....that's 28 lbs.....that would be a lot of fur.

the confusion was because......here in a civilized place we take cats to the vet to be "fixed".

What I've noticed is that there are parrot people, who are immensely enthusiastic about them, and owning one seems to be more a way of life than owning a pet. Parrots also have particular views about people. Some don't like boys, some don't like girls, and some take an immense dislike to certain pe...

My daughter's bedroom has been repurposed :) Still not big enough :( :lol: Time to add an extension or two? https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.pinimg.com%2F736x%2F4b%2F6e%2F92%2F4b6e92a90b3f831b3987a9941a201712.jpg&f=1&nofb=1&ipt=810596a0623b47699a514b8b78b432...

"When Marty the robot encountered a single grape on the floor of a grocery store produce department, it immediately stopped and identified the item as a potential hazard. Marty's response is a key part of its function as an autonomous safety robot. Here is what happened: Hazard Detection: Marty...

our local "giant" supermarket has "Marty". an annoying waste of tech that feckin' follows me around from aisle to aisle. one of these days i'm gonna' go shopping with some tools and disassemble the rolling bastard. https://www.tiktok.com/@giantfoodstores/video/7527338818605747511

another heads up for the agilent 54622d fan boys. (i'm lookin' at you dragon) those 6 damn soft buttons under the crt have resisted all my bodges. tried silver leaf from the hobby store over the carbon buttons and it lasted a couple of days. tried cleaning the buttons with ipa and it lasted a week o...

those backboards have water in the base? never knew that. around here they mostly pile concrete blocks to hold them in place. some cranky old neighbors bitch when they see one go up......but it makes me smile to hear the neighbor kids outside dribbling and shooting. you on the other hand should stay...

just a heads up for agilent 5462x fan boys. powered up my 54622d this morning and it was acting weird. when looking at the probe compensation output it showed a weird overshoot and when in "quick measurement" mode the peak to peak voltage shown was 2x or 4x what would have been indicated b...

Gee, when I got Harley snipped there was no cone and no pain meds. The vet said just to keep an eye on him and it's OK if he wants to lick himself in that area. When I got him home he was a bit wobbly in the legs and believe it or not he wanted to eat. So I fed him and later he zonked out. Next day...

sorry....forgot that according to the pictures in magazines, high tech electronic fabrication these days is done only by gray haired grannies or tiny Asian girls peering into microscopes.

my bad. carry on with your manly activities.

somehow I always expect you guys to show off your hybrid wafer and die wire bonding setups.

instead we see engine lathes and welders.

stone knives and bearskins.

but if you really want to set her off .....call camilla the new "queen" and stand back because she starts winding up like a gas turbine about to take off. Have you tried her with Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, and his delightful semi-ex Fergie? You could spice the mix by pointing out that he...

hmmmmm.......coins with a queen on them. just out of curiosity........have coins been issued yet with an image of the king? (not trying to stir up anything.......just wondering). Interesting question; can't think how it would stir anything up! King Charles notes have been in circulation since June ...
