Woohoo! Life out of one of my Sun3/60's!
You could say my transistor tester fixed it - I took the 3 through-hole transistors off the small daughter card, tested them, and soldered them back - and it's alive!
And it's repeatedly arrive, even the next day.
My reading of the service manual is that flashing LED means it's trying to boot; so time for a serial lead!

Listening to the Halloween edition of the Gearhead Show on WMSE now. This really is like reliving my life back home. Sports championships are great, but are more the stuff of dreams than day-to-day (half-century-to-half-century) life.

I'm a Trekkie reeling from the blows, losing both Walter Koenig and Sir Patrick Stewart is just painful.

Some people affect your life even if they never know it. The cast of Star Trek did just that. They brought their passion and skill to my TV, asking questions about moral, humanity, and life, and wasn't afraid of letting us sit with an uncomfortable answer.

“While in Korea, Linebarger masterminded the surrender of thousands of Chinese troops
who considered it shameful to give up their arms. He drafted leaflets explaining how
the soldiers could surrender by shouting the Chinese words for “love,” “duty” “humanity”
and “virtue”—words that happened, when pronounced in that order, to sound like “I
surrender” in English. He considered this act to be the single most worthwhile thing he
had done in his life.”

I forgot to take my meds and could not for the life of me remember which classroom I was teaching in.

This arrived yesterday from an eBay seller. A version of the "Pac-Man Fever" 45 from the U.K. in a picture sleeve. I'VE NEVER SEEN THIS SLEEVE BEFORE.

This year, all hallows and Halloween happens on the same night. One is a spooky feast for children and the other is a solemn time when we're remembering those who have gone before us.
We can do both. Because that's life.
The graveyards are incredibly beautiful and quiet, and the candles are burning in the darkness. Now it's time to get the child from her party.
Because we can, and must, hold both joy and sadness with the same hand, in one heart.

Vincent Sellaer was a Flemish painter active during the 16th century, and though little is known about his life, his art had an interesting mix of both Italian and northern styles. His painting “The Holy Family with Saint John the Baptist, Saint Elizabeth and Zacharias” shows a young Jesus with members of his family. A green parrot, perched on a woven basket, references the fact that parrots were associated with the divine word of God because they could imitate human speech.

Vorhin auf dem Gehweg unterwegs. Möglicherweise habe ich ein Geräusch gehört. Ein Warnruf vielleicht. Oder ich habe rein zufällig den Kopf um 90 Grad gedreht. Vor meinen Augen fährt ein Auto in ein Fahrrad. Der Fahrradfahrer rutscht von der Motorhaube auf den Boden. Helfer sind sofort zur Stelle. Weniger als 1 minute später hält ein Stadtbus auf Leerfahrt. Der Fahrer steigt aus, telefoniert.
So this was *very* good. Self-contained prequel to Friday the 13th, i.e. Jason's origin story. Tense, gory and a bit melodramatic, but top shelf if #horror is your jam.
And they did a spectacular job with the production design and the costumes, bringing 1972 to life extremely well. Lots of era-appropriate cultural references.
Kind of a special, unique vibe.

#PennedPossibilities 1164: Bookish Delights: Have you ever read a book where you knew that one of the MCs or SCs would make a good friend of yours IRL?
I haven't thought about that actually, I lose myself when I read. My mind circles around the book, the plot, and the issues at hand, not my boring everyday life.
So macOS 27 still hasn’t fixed Safari’s reading list syncing (and by extension presumably bookmark syncing) it’s good to have some stability in my life.

I Pity the Poor Immigrant /
I pity the poor immigrant
Who wishes he would've stayed home
Who uses all his power to do evil
But in the end is always left so alone
That man whom with his fingers cheats
And who lies with every breath
Who passionately hates his life
And likewise, fears his death

There comes (hopefully) a time in life when one recognizes that the law and the system called a "justice system" have nothing to do with justice.
Maybe it's when you see the system's complete disinterest in even investigating rich pedopholes. Maybe it's when you hear about a 6-year-old immigrant separated from his parents and compelled to take the stand in his own defense. Maybe it's when you see it give every benefit of the doubt to killer cops so they can get away scot-free, while doing nothing to change the cultures that continue to produce police shootings. Maybe it's when you see a woman prosecuted for having a miscarriage. Maybe it's when you read the court's opinion upholding the idea that police do NOT have a duty to protect civilians, or the opinion stating that if police choose not to uphold the law that's fine and they aren't accountable for that.
Whenever you see it, a natural question is: when did this happen? How long has this been going on?
Thankfully that question is easy to answer: just open up a history book and look for the founding date of whatever nation you live in.

My only unpleasant encounter in France was with a taxi-driving vatnick who said that in his past life he visited Vilnius in the 1990s, how dangerous it was, and how beautiful modern-day Moscow is. I corrected him, pointing out that in the 1990s, Vilnius was under the siege of the Russian mafia, and with them gone, it is safer than Bordeaux. I agreed Moscow is indeed more beautiful when Ukrainian drones set fire to it.

RE: #QAAPodcast, #KnowledgeFight podcast, @…'s #WeirdLittleGuys podcast, #BehindTheBastards podcast. "Travis View" is the "Anonymous" name adopted by one of the original hosts of QAA and sounds more real to my mind than his real life name. It shows to me how easy it is to develop a relationship to these voices I listen to, and reminds me that I need to continue to question my media and ensure I get my news from a variety of sources keeping an active and critical assessment of where they're getting their facts from going in my mind.
