E Filing

How do you know he was anti-vax? Anecdotally, I know several people who have had COVID, and all but one were fully vaccinated.

You can feel free to argue with me or post links to media articles "debunking" it all you want; but it's just too big of a coincidence and I believe this was a manufactured "chimera" (in their own words) of a virus that was released unintentionally or deliberately.

I have a good, yet older surround sound setup for the TV, but these days I'm all about the headphones because you can listen to those as loud as you want all day and night! If you keep an eye out on price-watching sites, it's really not that expensive for some quality stuff. I think I've spent about $450 on my DAC/amp/headphone setup by picking up things on sale or clearance, and it will last quite a while if you take care of it. But if you go down the "wood knobs, voodoo magic cables" route, the situation would be quite different...

Different guy here: I would love to get one of those but they are significantly more expensive (granted the hardware does look very nice, it's probably worth it). I'm tempted to pick up a Libreboot X200 sometime soon, with 8GB RAM and an SSD it should be more than adequate for running a lightweight desktop and doing all the stuff I typically do. The keyboard looks very nice.

UPDATE: The wind industry in the US is big but it's also tight-knit...everyone knows what everyone else is up to. Not 100% sure, but what I'm hearing on the grapevine is the company who did this deal is Hirschfeld and the site is near San Angelo.

Nope! Pretty close (physically) though :)

Could be, not sure. I know that over here in my neck of the woods, the farms are being sourced by one large US producer and 3 from overseas. The article mentions that only the turbines would be Chinese-sourced, but all the companies I know of with farms here produce their own turbines. If they struck up a deal with a Texas company to build the towers and slap Chinese turbines on them, my best guess is that it would be Trinity. But there's not really any details in the article, so who knows. Like I said, this will be interesting to watch :)

...where the hell are they going to put them? I'm sitting here in West Texas in an office of a major tower manufacturer; and we have 80 towers worth of sections sitting in our storage lot (which is being expanded) that the company purchasing them can't find a home for. A couple of sites have been proposed, but they fell through because it would cost too much to build the infrastructure to connect them to the grid. Now they're trying to find a site in a different state. And Mr. Pickens reportedly has 200 towers built that he can't site either, my favorite quote is "Well I damn sure can't put 'em up in my yard". So good luck to the Chinese I guess. It'll be interesting to see how this plays out.

Skype worked fine when I lived in China. And their "Great Firewall" was easily bypassed by my "Great Proxy".

3G Unrestrictor alone was worth the jailbreak for me. Skype calls over 3G FTW.

Thank you. I was searching the thread for a mention of digital ham radio modes. No need to resort to pigeons when we can take ride on the airwaves ourselves. It may not be faster (considering a 4GB stick tied to a pigeon's leg, but at least you'd have actual packets to deal with.

I haven't been able to access the site since 7AM CST, but as of now (11AM) I can get to my page. It took 3 tries but I made a tweet. Thank goodness, I was beginning to think I wouldn't be able to post useless information to a useless site today!

Thanks for the link! Some good stuff on there,
