Really cool - thanks for posting the link. On a personal note, back in 1972 I worked for Martin-Marietta in Denver on the Viking Mars lander - 2 of these landed on Mars in 1976 and sent back pictures and data. They weren't rovers - just stayed in one place. IIRC, JPL in California had the contract f...

Texans stuck with $US5,000 electric bills, officials say power companies 'grossly mishandled' the weather emergency https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-02-22/texans-stuck-with-high-electric-bills-after-winter-storm/13177926 As a result, some Texans who were still able to turn on lights or keep their f...

..... Per the article: "An ERCOT report on generating capacity listed the top sources of power in the state: Natural gas (51%) Wind (24.8%) Coal (13.4%) Nuclear (4.9%) Solar (3.8%) Hydro, biomass-fired units (1.9%)" All "green" sources total 30.5%. Recent reports indicate that w...

How's that privatization mentality working out for you now , Texas? Actually, in my experience, it works well if you stay with a fixed price plan. My electricity has been extremely reliable and at a pretty low cost. The only previous outages I can remember that lasted more than a few minutes (and v...

Just let them know about those multi-thousand dollar bills people are already getting because of the shortage and needing to buy power at the market rate. That ought to change minds pretty quick! I, like probably most people in Texas, am on a fixed price contract, so my price per KWH won't change d...

Did I say it was cold in Dallas? Well, Tuesday morning it got even colder: -2°F (-19°C). Tied with 1949 for the second lowest temp. on record in Dallas - the lowest was -8°F (-22°C) back in 1899. We don't need to worry about global warming any more - it's ended!

Damn, it's cold here in Dallas; 7°F (-14°C) this morning and predicted to be even colder tonight. We got some sun today, so the temp. is up to 15°F (-9°C) now. And we got a pretty good snow, too. We haven't had temperatures this cold since Dec., 1989 when it got down to -1°F (-18°C). Fortunately I w...

I love it! And check out the revolver earrings on the WA-WA-WAA girl.

They also do "A Fistful of Dollars" and "For a Few Dollars More".

Baked salmon and asparagus "en papillote" - based on the recipe in this list (but I didn't do the lemon slices or red onion or Yukon gold potatoes as I didn't have those on hand - it was still very good): https://www.thepioneerwoman.com/food-cooking/recipes/a85510/how-to-perfectly-cook-sal...

Besides how can you order beer other than in a pint glass? But is that a US pint (16 fl. oz. or 473 ml), or an Imperial pint (20 Imperial fl. oz. or 568 ml) ? And here is how I convert units to/from metric: https://www.sliderulemuseum.com/Pickett/S474_Pickett_N909-ES_MetricConversionSimplexTrig.jpg

...Alamogordo. Interesting name for a city - "fat tree"?

More like "big (fat) Cottonwood tree", I think. Perhaps a notable landmark at one time?

I'm 78 and I think more on what we used to do more often than before this past year. I guess being encapsulated in my home had a lot to do with that, the Kindle eReader of today, would not show up in our lives for another 60 years from what you will see here. https://youtu.be/CRL5833jXjo Lots of go...

Hi, i'm Tembok, i'm currently new in this linux world, can you tell me what to do and what not to do in linux mint?

Here's a good place to start (from one of our forum members - Pjotr):

Old thread, but I made a DISCOVERY! That discovery is a Chemex with its filters makes a just amazing and I mean amazing cup of coffee. No acidity, no bitterness with good beans (Black Rifle Coffee- Freedom roast). Yes, it takes a tiny bit longer than the Keurig, but OMG, the taste is so worth it! A...

I always stick with the LTS kernel series. I keep two older versions of that series in addition to the active one. When I am notified of a kernel update, I first uninstall the oldest of the three kernels I have, then install the new kernel, then reboot and check that the new one is the active kernel...

I can't give detailed advice, as I don't know how you want to set up the system, but you may want to take a look at the program "Aptik" which is designed for migrating system setting and data. It is from the developer of "TimeShift". https://github.com/teejee2008/aptik https://te...

I noticed this thread a bit late, but maybe this post will be helpful. I use a script file to transfer TS snapshots from my internal HDD to my USB HDD (ext 4 to ext4) using rsync. As far as I can tell (on LM18.3), the copied version is identical to the original, but see the last link in this post fo...
