Follow the money. If they are backing it, they are getting paid.
His plan is to put his own terrorist dictator that is friendly to the United States - the son of the late Shah of Iran. The spawn of the guy the CIA and MI5 put in place in the 50s to keep Iran from nationalizing their oil fields when BP was screwing them hard back then.
Always nice to see how customers use something I made/sold. This E951 Looping Expander is a control module option for the E950 Circuit Bent VCO (TI Speak n Spell!)
I'm down to my last 2 and am waiting on buyers to let me know if they want them. It's all out on GitHub for folks to "roll their own"
Buy good tools and they'll last you a lifetime. Wiha is one of those brands and I standardized my shop benches on their insulated and small precision screwdrivers.
They sent me an email on a bundle offering I couldn't pass up. Pick one item from each of 5 categories for $169.99 + free shipping.

Nothing like beating back a cold front with some homemade chicken vegetable noodle soup.
It's a good use of a rotisserie chicken - the skin and bones were used to make the broth.
Will Hackaday be sending someone to VCFSW this year?
I'm going to be a sponsor again this year at VCF Southwest in Dallas.

The mighty hunter, asleep. Recharging before she goes back out on the prowl in the jungle... er... back yard.
Yes, she. She's an uncommon orange cat as most are male.

It was a nightmare trying to get care for my wife because her PCP ignored her symptoms until she broke from the pain and the radiologist at Rapid Med said to go straight to the ER at UT Southwest to bypass referral authorizations after he read the MRI they ordered. She had a 35mm acoustic neuroma.
Mark, I thought you were smarter than that. You do so much like Cost Plus Drugs, but you are so out of touch with us commoners. Insurance plans already specificy we must go see our PCP and get referrals from them to specialists. We can't go directly to specialists unless we go to the ER distressed.
Here's one for your inner 7th grader:
Go to Google Translate and translate "a seal pushed me" from English to French and click the speech icon to play the audio of it.
Daaaaamn... Look at that drooping mouth. Stroke city.
Always nice to get pictures from customers of their games running with the boards we repaired for them. :)
It's fun repairing a Galaga arcade game boardset that another tech messed up. Not only did they not replace a chip that failed when vibrations occurred (internal die bond failure), they left resistor packs unsoldered which made the game very unstable - crashing and rebooting often.
Rain on the way up was so bad we were doing 25mph up US69. The rain stopped just before we pulled up to the place and loaded up the truck and trailer.
Got some great pizza at a stop in Durant before taking US-70 over to I35. If you find yourself near Durant, this place is worth a stop.
Every year I get older, it gets harder to do these crazy road trips... ~600 miles from 11am to 11:25pm to pick up a half trailer load of vintage computer gear from the late 70s to late 80s.
Had to wait out a break in the storms and route around them. Got the break, took US70 over to I35 then south.
A bad crystal... A hard to find one at that. This is an odd failure as they are usually a reliable part.
I'm trying to fix a ham radio I rescued from Computer Reset a few years back. Already replaced the disintegrated microphone cable and the IC chip that uses this crystal.
There's always time to learn something new. In this case, it also improved safety.
Polished the headlights on the CX-7. HUGE difference!
That is one thing I miss about the midwest... hunting for black and yellow morels. They aren't around here in North Texas.
Who says eating well hast to cost a lot of money? Those chickens were half off of $6.79 so both of them cost me $6.79. :)
The pre-cooked bacon was $1.50 a pack on price reduction at Aldi. You have to watch the price signs carefully! I got 8 bags of tri-color rotini pasta for $.25 ea recently.
Anyone else like to cook?
Next up for me will be some more smoked cream cheese. I need to take some to the local post office as a thank you for all the care they take with all the packages I send. I make that a few times a year and share with them.
Yes, you can hot smoke cream cheese!
Tonight I made a big pot of the 2 packages of fresh "French green beans" I got on markdown at Kroger. I used the last of the pre-cooked and marked down bacon from Aldi.
Minced an onion to go in it. Added salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Who says you can't eat well AND cheap? This was less than $6.
Who else loves to cook?
Picked up 2 "young whole chickens" at Aldi for 50% off and turnip greens on markdown at Kroger.
Prepped a chicken with garlic and Italian spices, the 2nd with Cajun and garlic, and tossed them in the smoker.
Used some marked down pre-cooked bacon and cooked the greens. :)
Sometimes you just need to tune out the world....
And when you do, you can sometimes be pleasantly surprised.
Shaved 10 seconds. :)
What do totems do when nobody is watching?
They jam to an awesome techno beat!
