Maybe this is a blueprint for progress in Ukraine.

the fun thing about home espresso brewing is it will absolutely not save you money, especially if you are the kind of person who tends to become obsessive about technical details

I usually wind up with what I call “sacrifice coffee” for some reason. I use that less-than-good coffee after cleaning and descaling. I have no idea why just running water through the machine doesn’t work, but you always have to sacrifice some coffee.

1. Westinghouse engineer Frank Conrad, 39, got into ham radio to win a bet! “I’ll bet my watch is more accurate than yours!” 2. In the workshop above his garage in Wilkinsburg, Pa., Frank built a receiver to pick up the time signals from the U.S. Naval Observatory and verify his watch’s accuracy. 3. In 1916, Frank got his license (8XK) and was soon a popular leader in local ham circles. 4. Frank tested the 8XK transmitter with music from records the family piano. 5. Schedules for 8XK’s regular “air concerts” were printed in the local newspapers. 6. In the fall of 1920, the ARRL set up an experimental nationwide network to relay results on election night … and they included Frank’s station, 8XK. 7. By then, however, Frank’s employer had applied for a commercial license and was ready to take over his broadcast schedule. 8. On election night, Frank was standing by at 8XK in case there were any technical problems … but KDKA’s first broadcast on Nov. 2, 1920, was “F.B.” (“fine business”) and the station has now been on the air 100 years!

On this day in 1920, KDKA in Pittsburgh began regular broadcasting. It is considered by many to be the start of commercial radio broadcasting in the U.S.

I love how Rep. Joe Neguse reframed this question.

📒 NEW STUDY: “Permanent Daylight Saving Time hinders the stability of circadian rhythms, posing public health risks, especially for adolescents and evening chronotypes.” 👉 Permanent Standard Time is needed instead!

We have to remember that music, ideally, can be something we do for ourselves as a way to reclaim our culture – not exclusively something we have to buy.

The top three things Jesus was on about were feeding the hungry, healing the sick, and welcoming the stranger. Rich men have convinced so-called Christians to starve the hungry, gut health care, and deport the stranger to enrich themselves. It’s astoundingly anti-Christ.

Look upon my works, ye mighty, I take commissions!

Audio engineers at AT&T discovered back in the 1960's that they could encode metrics about a network as a stream of sampled human voices, on a similar principle to Chernoff graphs.

Pitch, emotion, phoneme, volume, timbre, etc could all be mapped to different metrics tracked.

IT WORKS!
IT'S NOT HARD!
IT'S DOING SOMETHING!
sorry for yelling.

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation.

Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

Wait until he hears that Reagan didn't trust the Russians.

I will be very disappointed if this doesn't happen.

“We carried you in our arms on Independence Day…”

I look forward to see what happens. Can’t be any worse than the US machinations.

I might not doubt it, but please include the source.

My feelings, exactly.

The fact that the Trump admin first reaction to people peacefully exercising their rights is to launch federal investigations against citizens to intimidate them is exactly why we were out there.
