Ours is a Logitech G923. He also has a quest 2, I would love a car simulator in VR! I'd get into that with a decent racing seat.

Right now he's using an old 42" tv and a folding chair.

There were many fun toys at PRI this year.

 

We are also allergic to cats, but this one adopted us. She and another cat "belong" to a neighbor, but they are awful people. They evacuated during a hurricane and left this very sweet cat behind outside. A tornado came through our neighborhood and shortly after we heard her meowing like crazy at our door so we grabbed her and put her in our old dog kennel for the duration. My wife slept on the floor next to her the whole night to keep her calm. We can't keep her inside because the house is under renovation and I'm afraid she'd get stuck in a wall or something, but we feed her and she is a good lap kitty. You put her on your lap and she'll stay there for hours. The other cat adopted another neighbor.

 

my boy gettin' old. and losing body parts. and shittin liquid.

 

I feel for you. One of mine is getting up there in years (17+) and is starting to go downhill. I'm dreading the day he decides he's had enough.

 

He’s getting old, but he looks badass in that second shot. A bit of the General Martok look -

 

Allergy docs worth a crap can give you sublingual drops to desensitize you to allergies. You don't need to get shots in the doc's office like they did in the dark ages. You can adopt all the kitties.

 

I feel for you. We had to put down our dog in March. She was almost 19 and started having seizures. Has to be one of the most horrifying things to see. Our vet was amazing though. They took such good care of us during the process.

 

Gotta love big miata builds like this.

 

Much respect for taking in that poor cat.

We lost this sweet girl between Christmas and the New Year. We traveled around the country and shared all our adventures together over 10 years. Boxers live short, energetic lives; the light that burns twice as bright burns half as long, and hers burned so very, very brightly.

Thanks for this thread and the opportunity to share. Faith in humanity restored.

Alway the cheerful one, Joe.

Well, now this is not how I had hoped to end the day.





That's dish 13, looking at the L-band output of the C-Vertical LNB, pointed at Galaxy 36.

I've never seen an LNB fail in quite this way before.

It's spectacularly mesmerizing to look at, but completely ******* worthless for pulling down the US-domestic NASCAR feed for this weekend's festivities in Daytona.

(Did I mention this is for the national feed of the Xfinity Cup race, not just the local one?)

I have other dishes and other receivers, of course. And we got the feed tuned in with plenty of time to spare. It's more the "if god exists, then it clearly hates me" principle of the matter. This whole month has just been one celestial-magnitude clusterfuck after another dealing with the NASCAR folks. This is the first year they are handling all of the encoding and uplink stuff themselves, and it shows.



Also, an HP ProLiant DL360, pulled about 10 inches out of its rack, makes a lovely shelf to sit a spectrum analyzer on.

 

Look at it this way - It’s NASCAR, so they pulled a fugazy yellow flag on you just before the finish. Business as usual, but you’re supposed to crash once more before the checkered flag.

 

JP, has the solar maximum significantly impacted you in the last few months? In the last year?
