Hey my local bar sells doughnuts!

I’ve always had my lower limit for how young I’d date as “she has to be older than my brother”. But my brother is only 3 years younger than me so that’s becoming less and less relevant as he’s pushing into his mid 20s now haha

This is the big reason I have such strong feelings about pushing kids into a competitive space. Whether that’s sports, chess, marching band, etc. Just as long as there is structured practice and then competition against another person or team.

Because sports really will teach kids that no matter how hard you practice, sometimes you just won’t win. And that’s okay. The important thing isn’t winning every time, it’s getting back up and pushing even harder when you lose to win next time.

Its a critically important thing for people to learn, and I can’t think of a better and safer place than youth sports.

Its partially because there is only one set of antennas large enough to communicate with it, and that’s only sometimes. Its called the Deep space network and it is very secure because it’s used for many things, not just communicating with the Voyager probes.

Second, you’d have to have very very intimate knowledge of the hardware, and programming language to even begin to hack it. And the people who do have that knowledge are very very passionate about their probes.

So I guess technically the answer is yes. But practically, no.

Stop trying to make V’ger happen! Its not going to happen!

Yeah that’s what the updates are for haha

Omni-directional antennas?

Do you not have security deposits where you are? That’s strange honestly lol

Ah okay. The Chromecast thing is a killer feature I’ve been looking for, my media PC that I have now is pretty good, just doesn’t have that one thing.

I’ve been talking about this for years! I got the idea from razer but I’m imagining the laptop chassis adds a nice screen, enormous battery, better IO, and then it just uses the touch screen as the track pad.

It could be so cool

Can you tell me more about these homemade android TV boxes? I built a really shitty front end to “turn” my Linux based mini PCs into a media streamer but it lacks things like Chromecast and reliability haha

I mean the common thing I see in this thread is just people recommending a docker container that hosts the server. Not really what I would call “3rd party bullshit” and I would absolutely recommend running a game server in a docker container. It makes a lot of things easier.

I “technically” have busses near my house. The bus stop is on the corner and the grocery store is about 2 miles away. No brainer right?

Nope. Because the bus only comes every 45 minutes (according to the schedule, good luck if you trust it) and it takes 2.5hrs to go from my stop to the one next to the grocery store.

Or I can just walk the 25 mins or whatever it takes me to walk there.

I have a mouse like that but it says Cisco and it’s the blue and grey that the Netgear switches used to be for some reason.

But I got it for free in an industry (IT) event. Same with the 1/3 of my closet that is just branded T-shirts haha

2 out of the 3 DSN locations aren’t even in the US or managed by NASA.

• NASA manages the Goldstone complex in California
• The Madrid complex is in Spain and managed by their national space agency
• The Canberra complex is in Australia and managed by their national space agency

Also, fun fact, the Canberra complex has the only antenna that can communicate with Voyager 2!

Oh man I jump around games all the time. I just finished God of War like a month ago after about a year because I’m always trying something new haha
