Trying to bring broadband to rural America. Have 4 cats. Software jockey since the punched card days. Occasional opinions posted, about anything, usually politics or broadband or cats.
For those wondering if Charlie Kirk suffered. No. Hydrostatic shock would deliver 250-450 psi to the brain from an aorta strike causing petechial hemorrhages. Above 200 psi, instant loss of consciousness, 0.27 milliseconds. Basically, he was lights out, no pain.

Elon wants the government to drop plans to install rural broadband and instead pay billions to Starlink. But new research shows that Starlink can't deliver real broadband. Outside the most remote areas, it's not even close. #teslatakedown #MuskMustFall

I'm seeing many posts that there is no leadership, or that Democratic leaders just write strongly worded letters.
Here's the bottom line. The leaders that will take us out of this, you can find by looking in the mirror. You may not be a great leader, but you're what we have and that's good enough.

Gabby update. Six weeks after rescue, or rather she showed up at the door crying... She had her injured tail amputated, she got fixed, she got microchipped, she went from 4.5 pounds to 6 pounds, and she's a holy terror demanding to play with a string toy where as the first week,

Dusty passed through the rainbow bridge this morning. When he was 2 years old, we rescued him in -20f weather. He lived happily the next 11 years doing 2 rescues of his own.

Many products sold in the U.S. are made in El Salvador. In response to the El Salvador president’s statements today, we’re calling for an immediate boycott of all Salvadoran-made goods. Please help by listing any products or brands made in El Salvador in the comments below.

Approximately 40-60% of Walmart’s products in the U.S. are estimated to come from China, with non-food items like electronics (80-90%), apparel (70-85%), toys (70-80%), home goods (60-75%), general merchandise (50-70%), and health products (30-50%) making up the bulk,

Back in the kitty world. Yesterday, this less than one year old kitty with a broken tail wandered up to our house in the boonies. Totally affectionate, scared and starved. Vet visit tomorrow, but she's an absolute cutie.

I achieved a measure of new fame on Twitter for inauthentic behavior. Apparently posting on how to personally donate to Ukraine is inauthentic: "We’ve added a temporary label to your account which may impact its reach. Learn more here"

Grok says: Yesterday, February 28, 2025, Trump met Zelenskiy at the White House. The meeting was tense and unproductive. No concrete gains emerged for the U.S. Zelenskiy pushed for peace and U.S. support. Instead, Trump and Vance called him disrespectful. Ukrainian officials were asked to leave.

Impeachment is insufficient. If you look at the legal order of succession, the rot is too deep. Phases to consider, legislative, legal, public protest, public civil disobedience, then... If there is to be any resistance, it has to game out the entire process, otherwise, it's just noise.

Shopping question. I see the price of eggs increasing. What bothers me, is I would expect a corresponding increase in the price of chickens, and I don't see that. Explanations?
