Cool and clear, warming later. Did I mention it was in the 40s yesterday morning? It did get to the high 70s, low 80s by late afternoon though. Kid thought it was a bit chilly at the bus stop. Beautiful, drive with the windows down, day. I’m hoping for another…
Did my site visit. Solved one issue, which was configuration in the control software, but the other issue was a dead TV. TCL with a few years on it, just not turning on anymore. We installed them knowing they were probably crep, and we got extended warranties, which we used many times. They were incredibly cheap and looked great for the money. They fail pretty much on schedule though in a rough environment. Indoors, climate controlled? They would probably last twice as long. I went by Costco to see about replacements.
The direct replacement, which is bigger, is only $239. It’s a Roku tv, full of spyware and data gathering, which subsidizes the cost of the hardware. The equivalent Sony was $499, and it’s a googleTV loaded with google’s spyware and monitizing software. We keep them off the network and don’t use the “smart TV” features. My client’s kids will occasionally defeat that by joining the wifi and using the built in apps to access their own streaming accounts. I take them back off when I find them connected.
There is some indication that they are never really off the net, but I do what I can to minimize the number of piggies feeding at the trough. If you are really concerned, you install Planar control room monitors that don’t have any smart features. They are a lot more expensive, but are built to run 24/7 for years and not spy on you. I’ve got a Planar 55″ 4K that I’m thinking of putting at the BOL. It’s a tank. Other manufacturers also make monitors for commercial use that are big and high resolutions.
In any case, I’ll be replacing the dead TV later this week or early next week.
After my site visit, I did a couple of pickups. Notable items were birthday gifts for the kids, and a cellular boost antenna for the cellular repeater at the BOL. I would like to get a couple more dB of signal going into the repeater.
Today I’ve got some kid school volunteer stuff to get organized, and a couple of pickups, and maybe the normal Tuesday/Thursday kid taxi stuff. Maybe not as D2 is feeling poorly. Two of the chaperones from her trip tested sick, one for flu, one for covid. Dunno which she has, or if it’s something else, but she’s coughing and snotty. On the other hand, D1 is mostly done with that, and W1 is starting to feel better. Sleep is a universal cure. I’m hoping to miss it entirely. REALLY hoping.
I thought I’d have some time this week to get caught up, but instead I got my client’s issue, and kid volunteering issues… oh well. No rest for the wicked.
Stacking is easy. If you can’t do anything else, do some of that.

I am really enjoying teaching at the trade school. Not least, because most students are pretty motivated – more so than college students, which I did not expect.
Most.
You still get the unpleasant parts. I had four students miss the first exam of the current course. My suspicion was that they (at least a couple of them) expect to get solutions from the other students. After all, it was a practical exam, where students create web pages to a specification, and then upload their solutions. Meaning that they have solutions to share.
So I scheduled a repeat exam today, with the explicit note that it is a different exam. Surprise, surprise, one of the students who missed the first exam has suddenly become ill. He asked if he could take the repeat exam next week instead.
Why, of course he can! I won’t bother telling him that it will yet again be a different exam. Extra work for me, but I really detest people who want to cheat their way through life.
Best wishes to D2 for a speedy recovery, Nick.
My messing with satellite stuff yesterday has prompted W1 to give me the additional task of finding a new TV for her, on top of fixing whatever is causing the reception problem.
The physical coax cables look ok to visual inspection, though one of them is giving no usable signal at all, and the other is giving occasional fishies.
My satellite stuff is at the BOL, so I went to the local MediaMarkt to get some bits, only to discover that they no longer sell satellite stuff at all. The guy says everyone just streams content over IP these days. I suppose satellite is now a niche market, and the big stores don’t do niche, they want to move lots of boxes.
However, a bit of sleuthing around the shelves turned up a 24-inch 240V/12V no-frills flatscreen TV with an integrated satellite jack. As it was the last, and the display model withal, I got it out the door for 47 bucks. Beats lugging a 55-incher up and down the stairs just for test purposes.
I suspect that the elderly receiver which was connected to both coax cables had a senior moment and overpowered their sector of the octo LNB on the dish. Other inputs from the same LNB are fine. As that LNB is also 13 years old, I have a new one on the way. Will then test the setup without the old receiver in the loop.
W1 wants a new Samsung TV that will also work for wireless streaming from her iPhone. 55 or 65 inch, as larger would be overpowering in her cosy TV room. I want the new TV to have two F inputs for coax cable direct from the satellite dish, so I can do away with the old receiver. Any suggestions?
Only a wee bit late for Paddy’s day yesterday…
Saint Patrick was a gentleman.
@denis, I think you’ll be lucky to get a single coax connector… I like samsung products in general. I’ve got several and at my client’s house, we had all samsung for a decade. A couple are still going strong at my house…
I don’t do the screen sharing thing, but I understand most tvs will do it for samsung or apple. I tried it with a samsung phone and a samsung TV at my sibling’s house a couple of years ago and never got it working. I’m sure it is better now.

BTW, according to my business partner, the latest trend in home automation/whole house AV is a move away from centralized everything.
Now the most common setup is to have a TV in the room, send the audio back to a distribution system, and then back into the room for a 5.1 or more speaker system. Instead of customized touch panels, or apps, the client uses the TV remote to access all their accounts thru apps on the TV.
There is significantly less hardware and installer effort involved with this model. It totally relies on the TV and apps though, and giving up any hope of controlling information bleed.

The set manufacturers can sell access to the audio stream at the OS level for audience statistics gathering by companies like Samba.
Samba ratings are based on what is output through the set at any given moment.
I‘m sure Samba has competitors. Plus the TV manufacturer gets patents to weaponize related to the plug in architecture.

tRump has got the right people in the right spots this time. Miller says the judges order was illegal and dangerous. Courts can’t interfere with POTUS authority on Executive orders under War Powers. Brilliant and hopefully judges WILL keep trying and be exposed as corrupt Deep State hacks.
I watched Miller on a Jake The Fake Tapper clip. CNN keeps pushing “undocumented” immigrants where Miller uses the correct illegal alien term. I hope tRump has an EO stating the correct terminology and takes a dump on any LSM agency that doesn’t use the right term.

“Elon Musk’s Suggestion Box” Column March 6, 2025 by Ann Coulter

“I’m getting a little impatient waiting for Elon Musk to get to the two behemoths of government waste, fraud and abuse, so I’m dropping these in the suggestion box: Please hurry up and zero-out the CIA and TSA.”
“To give the devil his due, the CIA is finally on the cusp of determining whether the Ayatollah Khomeini poses a threat, and what posture the U.S. should take toward the shah. The agency expects to have a report on the president’s desk by the end of the week.”
“The CIA’s most successful mission was against its own country, meddling in the 2020 presidential campaign by publicizing that not-at-all-political letter, organized by CIA acting director Michael Morell and signed by “51 intelligence officers,” warning Americans that Hunter Biden’s laptop was “Russian disinformation.””

I’d call forgery of Biden’s signature treason and go for the death penalty.
Step One: Interview every one of the recipients and ask if they provided payment or quid pro quo.
If Hunter Biden is found to be one of the signers and that forged document is after his pardon was “signed”? I’d call that leverage. Let’s see if Jilly wants to spill her guts to save the p.o.s.

Feynman’s second autobiography covers his involvement with Challenger. I remember the number being in there as part of the hand waving.
He never admitted to covering for Sally Ride, using his reputation to shield her from scrutiny when she was his source for the O rings flaw.
After Ride passed, General Kutyna broke the secret. He set up Feynman with Ride, but details are still skant.
Feynman was relentless in getting to the truth about most things, but he was a ladies man.

Dear Chief Justice Roberts, Do Your Job
20 million illegals in the country. Sure, most of the are fine folks who just want to make beds, cut the grass, and get paid in cash by the rich PLT’s in the big houses, so they can wire it south to prop up the corrupt governments of the countries that they love so much they left them. They need to self-deport before things get ugly and a kick in the backside passes for due process.
Because a lot of them are not fine folks. FJB, the lying, thieving, decaying meat puppet selected by Obama and the new world order puppetmasters conspired with his party to flood the country with what they thought would be the Democrat voters that would put them in an eternal majority, and they welcomed the thugs to swell the ranks of their home-grown terrorists–not enough rich kids to staff Antifa. Problem is they have no control, so all they got was unfocused violence in the form of drug dealing, rape, and murder, and full employment for NGO’s and immigration lawyers paid with stolen taxpayer funds.
I have very little hope that Roberts has a clue. As Trump opens can after industrial sized can of worms and shows the taxpayers how they have been had for years, the resentment is going to build. Sooner of later a horrific outrage committed by an illegal alien facilitated and protected by liberal conspirators including is going to spark a response that may find one of those tipping points that the PLTs have been cryin’ wolf about for years.
So, yeah, Johnny–do your freaking job before it’s too late and the future textbooks id you as the Chamberlain of the 21st century.

“The main Chinese rival is the Qianfan “Thousand Sails” satellite constellation, which is already trying to expand in over 30 countries. In contrast, Starlink is already in over 125 markets. But in some countries, the company “must pay foreign governments for access to spectrum, import duties on Starlink equipment, and other regulatory fees that substantially increase the cost of operating in these countries—artificially,” SpaceX wrote.”

John Roberts seems to not understand that he is at the middle of the problem. He needs to stop each and every lower court that is going nuts at the moment. Should he not do so, he will force the Executive (Trump) and maybe the Legislative (Congress) to react. The reaction will neither be pleasant or reasonable to Roberts. Others will be unhappy or joyful also.
John Roberts can stop this judicial overreach. He is choosing not to do so at this time. The Executive is being put under untenable pressure by the lower courts. Therefore John Roberts will be blamed by history.
You could also say that 1 out of 135 launches were failures, and 1 out of 135 returns were failures.
I will never forget standing in a group of people who were extremely proud of having a tiny, tiny part of one subsystem on the STS and seeing the Challenger blow up in real time. We were part of Stage 2, so it was immediately obvious to me that there could be no involvement, and I said so. Nobody actually puked.
I will never forget the second explosion. We learned nothing, and it was obvious that NASA had not and could never reform. (I had no tiny amount of skin in that game, but I did know someone who had cutting-edge knowledge of carbon-carbon composites.

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/03/showdown-doj-again-refuses-give-judge-boasberg-sensitive/
“As White House advisor Stephen Miller pointed out on CNN, the Supreme Court previously ruled that any Alien Enemy Act removals by a US President are not subject to judicial review.”
“However, crazed Obama Judge Boasberg over the weekend ordered the Trump Administration to turn around planes that were deporting dangerous Tren de Aragua Venezuelan gang members.”
“Later Sunday, the Trump DOJ provided an update to Boasberg’s order and said the criminal aliens were outside of US territory when the order came down.”
“The judge demanded to know:
1) How many planes departed US on Saturday carrying anyone based on Proclamation;
2) How many people in each category;
3) What foreign country/countries did they landed;
4) Time took off & wear; time you contend left US air space; what time landed in each country; what time transferred into that countries custody”
That judge has crazy eyes.
One of my Colonel Bat Guano neighbors in Florida had leveraged a household income of $70k a year into “ownership” of over $1 million in real estate. When the SHTF in 2009-10, the guy managed to avoid foreclosure on the house across from mine for nearly a decade because his lawyer successfully argued that the bank owning the paper on the property could not produce the actual paper my neighbor signed with live ink.
This wasn’t uncommon in FL in the late 00s. The courts have a procedure to deal with the situation where the original paper goes missing, but the process is lengthy.
And, yes, the bank was eventually able to foreclose.

Like I said, this will end up with Trump arresting federal judges and sending them to Guantanamo.
Judge Lurch has no right to any of this information. He’s making up laws as he goes to get tRump. Yes, he is a power-crazy PLT. This is gonna be better than Wrestlemania. The President can deport any illegal alien at will. Alan Dershowitz did a podcast on this. His opinion is tRump doesn’t need the War Powers act to deport any illegal alien. Just do it as part of the Executive’s powers. The President can pull any visa or green card at anytime for anything.
At this point tRump loses nothing by ignoring lower courts challenging his Executive powers. Force SCOTUS to act.

– I stayed home to watch the first “flight” when the shuttle was dropped from a plane. I DISTINCTLY remember discussion of a tile repair kit, ceramic that could be applied in place of a missing tile.
