There she is.. packed-up in a Lucky(?) parking lot and won't idle. 24yo xk8, bit of a trick finding anyone who will touch it.

“Patel, Bongino and the other leaders are caught in a trap of their own making,” said Russell Muirhead, a politics professor at Dartmouth College

“The world they helped create, a world in which conspiracy destroys facts, is now the world they have to inhabit,” he added.

This is a combination streetlamp and pole pig in Monta Vista from the creation of the neighbourhood in the mid 1960s. Paint is a bit lacking here. This is the terminus of a string of these.

@lastword.msnbc.com. how about he can ask for the plane after he leaves office. Qatar prob wants it given during the term for.. reasons. The win for the taxpayer is we won't have to pay for updates and anti surveillance.

These are 115kv lines heading to Moffett field. They exit the Monta Vista substation and proceed over suburban neighborhoods. Here they are about to cross the eight lane I-280 freeway from the southbound side at the terminus of Groveland Dr.

This board I cobbled together, ready for mailbox installation. The door will have a small disc magnet that trips the magnetometer threshold, wakes the CPU, and sends a LoRa message indicating (most likely) that mail has arrived. Runs on harvested energy.

My new board works. First time, just a minor Ada sw change to add the TCXO that this LoRa module needs. So it harvests, charges the battery, gives 3.3v to the module and the magnetometer works. No issues seen.. yet.

Btw it's tampering, not meddling. Meddling is way too milquetoast for the stuff we are seeing.

Christmas miracle. After I put my one way stopper door in, a squirrel exited but could not get back in... so.... he loitered... loitering is being monitored by a true apex predator. This happened *fast*

Spanish tile roof. Stopper nail rusts, squirrel pulls it out, munches though the roof, welcome freeloaders. Cobbled this one way door today in a few hours. Final one has some nasty SS mesh on the sides.
