JP, has the solar maximum significantly impacted you in the last few months? In the last year?
It has not.
Like everyone else, we experience sun-outages in the spring and fall, when the belt of geosynchronous satellites orbiting above the equator appear (from our point of view on the ground) to align perfectly with the sun for a few minutes each day, over a period of 3-4 days per season. During those transits, the sun's energy does overwhelm our receive antennas and prevent reception, but this is not a new phenomenon.

The Fox Sports guys managed to catch El Jefe's private jet as it came into Daytona a few minutes ago:
I've been pulling in their sat feed today, as I'm doing some A/B comparisons between transponders.
Just curious, how are you screenshotting live TV feed?
At the station, I have an SDI output of the house video router connected to an H.264 streaming encoder, which points at a public IP address. That way, I can log in from home and pull up any video feed in the plant via VLC on my PC.
Very helpful for troubleshooting when the phone rings off-hours.
Is that a short strip? Looks like the thrust reversers are operating prior to the nosewheel touching. I doubt the drivers are hot ******* just for the fun of it ... It might have been a positioning flight of course, in which case any passengers can just lump it!

That was not a positioning flight. The President exited the plane after touchdown and then went to the Daytona Motor Speedway.
Daytona Beach Intramural Airport has a single main runway which is 10,500 feet long.
By comparison, Air Forces One are based out of Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland, which has two runways 9,318 and 9,756 feet long.
Looks more Bill the Cat and notsomuch Michaelangelo.
Hahaha.
I mean, these are writers and producers, not artists. I couldn't do any better.
I liked how Amy went for a Garfield motif, and was quite impressed with Claire's cat. She did a decent job of capturing the perspective of the kitty looking back over its shoulder, which is not an easy thing to conceptualize in my opinion.
Also, walked past two goats in a pen on the way up to my office this morning.
I thought "ah, goats," and kept on walking. It wasn't until I got upstairs that I remembered that livestock is not the sort of thing one would typically encounter in a professional, office-type environment.
Though mostly pacifists, the Shaker religious communities in New England played a minor, insignificant role in The War of 1812, mainly due to their lack of map-reading skills. I give you the leadership of The 433rd New York Shaker Regiment (colorized).
They were memorialized in the 1970's in song as the "Lost Shaker Assault."
taking pookie to an ophthalmologist this afternoon. His other eye might be on the way out, and I don't think we want to try the totally blind thing with him.
pictured: chemo belly.
I see Tonya has studied the renaissance masters...
Update: small superficial ulcer, probably has chronic herpes. Getting antiviral, antibiotics, and wearing a contact lens cause his cornia damaged and nerves exposed. Im sure this is what happened to the other eye, and just got worse. We only went to a regular vet then.
Yowzers! Is the contact something that goes on once and stays? I can’t imagine having to take it out and replace it on a pet. I’ve dealt with eyedrops and creams in the eye, that’s tough enough the first bunch of times.
they said hell probably work it out in the next few days, just helps relieve pain and helps heal. The most annoying thing is had we gone to this ophthalmologist in the first place, and not just a regular vet, he'd probably still have two eyes today.
any pills, drops, meds are easy for Pookie.
I currently give him:
2x daily steroid pills
1x daily diabetes pill
1x Chemo pill (every other day)
1x daily psyllium husk powder (mixed in a churu treat)
1x daily fortiflora powder (mixed in a churu treat)
1x monthly arthritis injection
1x monthly B12 injection
