P Band is UHF. I've been a ham for 40 years, and I had to look this one up. Apparently the IEEE doesn't use the designation anymore.

It also means this satellite probably has some comparatively big antennas.

This satellite was launched without regard for frequency coordination, and are transmitting illegally.

It's so bad, satnogs has a separate monitoring program for the emissions.

The schematic he posted shows he put a bridge rectifier before the batteries, meaning the charger was seeing at least a 0.6V difference from what the batteries were actually at.

I mean, not catching that alone should be enough to disqualify him from working on lithium batteries.

DART's speed at impact was apparently 6 km/s.(https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdart.jhuapl.edu%2FMission%2FImpactor-Spacecraft.php)

These scientists modeled the Chicxulub asteroid at 27,000 mph (43,000 kph) which is 11.944 km/s.

It's gotten to be an art trying to understand technically what these popsci articles are describing in layspeak.

Anyways, here's a direct link to the paper: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nature.com%2Farticle...

Basically, they're talking about matching a standard telco twisted pair with a balun, and find they can keep it behaving as a transmission line until 5GHz, and higher frequencies by increasing the twists.

There is a difference between the ICRC and the Amercian Red Cross. They're two entirely different orgs.

These aren't the guys who saved your cousin Louis from a flood last year. These are the guys who save international refugees.

Full text of the email I just got. I hit the roof when I read this:

Who knew that a VIC-20 and Commodore64 in the 80s might mean 6 figures years later?

Mike came to my school back when I was in 8th grade. I don't remember his talk, but afterwards he was walking out when I was walking out and I asked him starstruck and excitedly, "did you REALLY go to the moon??" He was looking at the ground kinda sad, and said yes. He seemed very un-charismatic at that moment, and I remembered that forever.

I took away from that that doing important, amazing things in life doesn't always make you famous or bring accolades. Those things are nontheless still amazing and important. Don't put your value in what others think.

I know I received a notification a few weeks ago that there was going to be an upgrade on NWSChat, and from the limited information they gave it sounded like an AS change for a new ISP connection. The fact that it was so urgent and customer-impacting indicates they were in dire straits.

I'd argue that the NWS IT infrastructure would be going the way our bridges and highways are going...it's something our country relies on, but probably hasn't had the funding it requires in a long time, and now the cracks are beginning to show.

(Hey guys, if you're reading this, hire me..I'd love to help)

Note that the current surge on Bitcoin started about a month ago, almost to the day of this leak.

Seems a few in the know took liberties.

I read this study. The conclusion is that testing using temperature is not foolproof. Young adults often do not show symptoms while they are still contagious, therefore testing using temperature only allowed several contagious people to spread the virus.

Masks and lockdowns have been proven effective in other studies.

Hey Guys...when you mention your own product in a news article as an editorial comment...you kinda lose journalistic integrity...

I'm still holding out a light for this site, so c'mon...
