Love a 40 series.

This is definitely a weird one in these parts (Melbourne): a left-hand drive GMC Sierra with a great collection of flair in the back window.

Just doing some gardening, nearly had a heart attack.

@timonus@mastodon.social @joe@f.duriansoftware.com yeah I thought it was the latest San Francisco micro-neighborhood, the Gough Trough (like the East Cut or Polk Gulch).

@tubetime I like to imagine that those four tabs on the bottom are also signal pins, making it an extra cursed connector.

@vwdasher@weird.autos I saw one once called Yah-poo Plumbing and it was a riff on the Yahoo logo. Can't find the photo now.
And you may find yourself... Trying to explain Flying Toasters to a young person...
@ceejbot@toot.cat I've been slowly reading https://nataliebhogg.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/find_the_stable_and_pull_out_the_bolt.pdf It ends with this, which reminded me of your/Jobs's bicycle metaphor:
As cosmologists, we have seen further by standing on the shoulders of giants. We have seen even further than that thanks to the incredible tool that is the telescope, which augments our human sight from peering around our own backyard to imaging the deepest reaches of space and the first syllable of recorded time. We did not shun that tool – we adopted it with open arms, hungry to see what it could do, and what it could tell us about our place in the Universe. Wielded judiciously, and honestly verified, LLMs have the chance to become the next tool to radically enhance our vision of the cosmos.

@jeffluszcz it's a great comfort to me that the flea is still continuing on, more than 20 years after I left Cambridge. I suppose the "Free advice, ask me anything" guy is no longer there.

@solar_chase@mastodon.green the US is like, years and years away from this still, right? Now that I live in Australia I'm like, "Oh, I GET IT. Solar!"

@DJ5CW@social.darc.de lcwo is so great. I used it when I was learning CW in 2009-10, and I've been recommending it to people ever since. It's great that you've kept it online and kept improving it for all that time. Thank you!

@tubetime I wonder how long the original designers of these machines imagined they would last. Surely not 60 years!

@ai6yr I think it's important for there to be a national group of some kind that advocates on behalf of its members. I've seen the downsides in other situations where such a group is ineffective or non-existent. Such a group can't exist without support. But one would have to assess whether the ARRL is meeting that need anymore or not.
This reminds me that I should look into the Australian WIA and decide if I want to support them.
It's July and I'm only now learning that the 250th anniversary of something is the "semiquincentennial." I would have been saying that word all year!!
