My PMs are all about time allocation..... yet they fail to understand what research is.

Pm: How long until you finish designing and implementing this thing?

Me: I cant put a time on it, weve never done this before and have no points of reference. So i could figure it out today or a month from today...i cant give you a time because its bever been implemented.

PM: Sighs in dissapproval... ill just say 5 business days. Hows that.

Me: if we are just making up numbers, sure

Plant emits oxygen,

Oxygen is air, clouds float in air

Bees fly through the air, bees make honey

Ummm, Star Fleet.

When in doubt, go with the Ron Swanson high and tight. Never goes out of style.

Since when is failing to carry a passport a civil offense..... What law covers this?

Seems like ICE is starting to make up laws now to justify their BS with more BS

This shutdown would come to a stop if GOP would just agreetoo restore healthcare funding....not even increase it, just put it back where it was.

We need to keep screaming thia. GOP is flooding the airways with their lies.

Not true if you are in a no fault state. In Florida, diesn matter who's at fault....you go through your own insurance and bear the coat of increased premiums ...even if its 100% other guts fault.

Had a car totalled. 2018 elantra. Ins gave me 8k, black book value.... But a replacement could not be found for less than 17k for same model, blue book value+dealer profit shit.

Wtf.

From an administrator POV, python is great for scripting, automation, and AWS boto work.

 

That yellow bulb is the remnants of the large flower I had. Am I correct in assuming that is the fruit? It's a slow grower if it is.

 
 

Was able to pick enough for my dinner tonight.

 

The 1st flower wilted away....see it there in the left. The 2nd flower appeared and is much bigger and healthier. Waiting to see if I get any fruit here.

 

I have multiple eggplants in pots inside my screens. They are all flowering, but none are producing actual eggplants. Am I missing something?

 

It's been about 2 weeks since I took the 1st image I posted. This is today. The flower is looking kind of sad. Does this look normal? Does anyone know how to tell if it will fruit up by looking ?

 
 
 

So I got my proof of concept completed.
I took a simple USB RTL sdr with a ham it up all working through sdrsharp. I had a wideband directional antenna in my closet and hooked it up with a makeshift dovetail mount to the body of our 14" Meade lx200.

I went for Jupiter. Centered it on the Meade... Quickly discovered that I would need some sort of adjustment screws for the antenna.... But alignment aside, if I searched the general area I found a weak signal in 24 to 25 mhz. Move away and the strength would fall off, back on the planet and the signal would increase slightly.

Tells me my test works.

Now the trick. I will need a better antenna and I want opinions.

It has to be directional

It has to be lightweight, 2 pounds or less

Somehow I need to make fine adjustments to its direction at the base where it can mount to the scope. More of a mounting question than an antenna question.

Satellite dishes won't work because of space on and around the scope.

We are a non profit, so can't break the bank.

I'm open to any opinions.
