snm95ls Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Started listening to A Brave New World on the drive home. It was actually making me physically uncomfortable. Burnt the F out, and need to take a vacation. What a crap time to try to take one, especially solo. Sigh. I sure as hell hope the economy doesn't tank next year, but it is hard to see how it won't.

DickDastardly00 Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 I listened to one economic analyst on the radio this morning break down the projected US revenue numbers for 2021. Basically the gross tax revenue is expected to pay for about half of the annual 2021 Federal budget, I said "Half". We need to get the economy going pronto, I'm not talking about the industries that are doing well, I'm talking about the rest of the economy, Restaurants, Hotels, Tourism, Live entertainment and so on. Also, if this second stimulus does not pass, we're very likely in for a 5 year recession. If it passes, the recession will instead be about 1 year. ♪Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery; None but ourselves can free our minds.♫ -Bob Marley, Redemption Song Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DickDastardly00 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Thursday night, asked if I was going to watch the debate....nope, making tacos, drinking beer and flying starships. Sounds like a better time then watching two assholes argue about nothing while practically sidestepping every important question voters have about healthcare, the economy, and so on. Tacos, beer, and starships = the clear winner. ♪Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery; None but ourselves can free our minds.♫ -Bob Marley, Redemption Song Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DickDastardly00 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 (edited) Negra Modelo w/tacos... What model starship are you piloting? Any performance mods? I have close to 30 ships but most likely it will be my Krait MK II tonight, this one is not mine but it looks very close to mine. Hopefully everyone will show up tonight, we are training up a new pilot. For the beer, I'm still trying to get through my fresh hop beers, bought another one yesterday and laughed at the name, Sofa King Fresh IPA from Payette Brewing co , mostly likely will drink this tonight. No idea if it's any good.

DickDastardly00 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 I see we're doing make believe I should mention the new recruit was my Best Man, and a HS friend from way back in the day. Most of the people I play with are old school friends. I mean we'd get together and throw a badass BBQ like we did in Aug 2019 (and were going to do again this year) but Covid put a damper on those things. At least we can get together virtually on the Xbox. It ain't' BBQ, but it's still a good time. ♪Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery; None but ourselves can free our minds.♫ -Bob Marley, Redemption Song Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DickDastardly00 Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Oh hey I'm on elite dangerous. Been playing for at least a few years, I think since 2016, it quickly became one of my favorites. Had fun this weekend in a wing with friends, we're teaching the new one how to mine asteroids next. ---- Was at the store picking up a few things and it was packed to normal levels, people seem pretty over covid, surging cases be damned. All had masks on, but people aren't going to keep staying home anymore, it's like IDGAF time or something. My local beer store is also a bar, business levels have ticked up noticeably there too. ♪Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery; None but ourselves can free our minds.♫ -Bob Marley, Redemption Song Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehsnils Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 At November 9th it's Hedy Lamarr Day. Many may know about her as an actress, but she was actually a pretty sharp woman intellectually too. During World War II, Lamarr learned that radio-controlled torpedoes, an emerging technology in naval war, could easily be jammed and set off course.[52] She thought of creating a frequency-hopping signal that could not be tracked or jammed. She conceived an idea and contacted her friend, composer and pianist George Antheil, to help her implement it.[53] Together they developed a device for doing that, when he succeeded by synchronizing a miniaturized player-piano mechanism with radio signals.[39] They drafted designs for the frequency-hopping system, which they patented.[54][55] Antheil recalled: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hedy_Lamarr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
