enjoy your enjoyment of 'sound'.

as you get older (GOML) the sound of the sound matters so much less.

there were times that listening to a single speaker fm pocket 'transistor radio' was good enough to enjoy the songs.

have your fun with your rumble and explosions. as you get older, that shit becomes SO much less important, you wont believe how irrelevant all that hype really is.

I have not been to a theater in - 20 years? more? I cant remember.

its been unpleasant for decades. and with home theater, unless you're a teen trying to escape home and get 'privacy' somewhere else, theaters have long outlived their usefulness.

I think I stopped theaters around the time I cut the cable.

all around, what passes for entertainment is just plain rotten and/or boring.

you can keep it.

1) break government
2) privatize what's left
3) profit

that's really it. they have zero care (the R party) for regular non-billionaire people. regular people need government. ultra rich are the ones who pay government to make laws that favor them.

I guess its not clear to everyone so it will be stated again: the R party is the robber baron party and they are not here to HELP anyone but themselves.

clearly, you must be right.

after all, life is *so* good for jews, here in the US.

with the ratio of muslims to jews in the US, yeah, the jews have it made.

here's the story I tell everyone in embedded, who is new to the field.

you want 3 boot partitions. 2 for flash and 1 for ROM.

your update toggles between partA and partB. you cant write to partC, its minimal and in rom. its there in case both A and B are not bootable (watchdog based).

I worked at a company that made radios that were for ISP's to use, tower to tower. a tower climb can cost $10k. you do NOT want to have to hire someone just to reboot or fix bad firmware. we learned that the cost of 3 partitions was worth it.

I used to work at car companies and guess what: they only have 2 boot partitions (at most) and they never have that rom partition. I've told several of them and they dont seem to see the cost benefit. (shrug)

but just be aware, if you want the job done right, have 3 partitions and one should be read-only so that you can always always recover to something; then use that to reflash A and or B.

we understand your feelings.

but the fact is that your government will go to any length to achieve its goals.

we are at war with russia. for all practical purposes, its a full war and that means things that are normally ok in times of peace are not, in times of war.

if/when your country decides to play nice with the ROW, then you can come back to the table with the rest of the adults.

but not until then.

sorry, but the truth is the truth even if it hurts.

csb: around 2000 or so, I applied for a job at ATT (labs). they asked for the resume in simple text, pure ascii. mine was already in that format so it was easy for me. the job was for a freebsd guy and it was fun, and I think I got noticed from the crowd of applicants just because I didnt have 'fonts and crap' on my resume and it was literally viewable 7bit text.

that wont work anymore. I dont know what you need to do to stand out, anymore.

(my experience goes back to 1985 or so, and I'm often told to remove the old jobs since age-ism is a thing and even though my early computer jobs were important, they give my age away. sigh..)

wont matter.

the resumes the bot will get are already filtered.

h1b and young age will always get first picks.

see, I knew it. they are just like us.

"they're eating the DOGS. they're eating the CATS. they're eating .... your pets!"

I'm sorry, world. lets hope we get beyond this stage of our country's adolescence.

btw, dont let the cat out of the bag. safer to leave them in. if you know what I mean.

nacs is good enough.

the form factor is great. been living with it the past 5 or so years. my only charge is via SC network (apartment renter so no home charging for me; and none at work, either).

elon is an asshole and does not care about this stuff anymore. what he cares about - is not what his original buyers care about. so I worry about the growth of the charger network. it was the ONE thing elon did that was done well.

you can install an am radio chip easily.

tell me how much it costs to rf shield all the wiring and ecu's in the car so that the am radio is not flooded with peaks and noise and birdies (as they're called).

the harness is not designed to be rf quiet. and the car harness is about 1/4 to 1/3 the cost of the car ('the more you know'...).

who's gonna pay for the redesign of all that?

just tell the house members that by installing AM radio, a certain chip is used and that triggers the G5 (you know, from that vaccine).

you dont want that.

vote against this bill.

think of the children!

(actually, many of them have gotten in trouble for just that)

there's SO much noise in a modern car, am is just too low a freq and too easily interfered with.

sure, you can listen to birdies. you like birdies?

cause this is how you get birdies.

have to find my glasses first.

(let's see, which drawer are they in?)
