Lots of interesting news today

$10 mil will go a long ways to hiring people to stop fake deed filings!

Except that fine will go into the federal coffers, where it will be quickly wasted on other things... :(
 
So when are we gonna nail the EPA for this criminal level of overreach they have granted themselves. There is absolutely no accountability beyond their own walls and it is completely unamerican.

This stuff blows my mind.
Imagine being an engineer working on a device that is 15 billion miles away, made of parts that were designed long before you were born, when transistors were still a relatively new thing
 
Wife's parents are in Bolivia (NC). Their subdivision is stuck b/c the main road is pretty much destroyed on either side of the entrance. From what we're hearing there is a TON of really bad flood damage. Had something like 18 inches of rain

That is cool, but I'm confused by one particular statement.

"The thrusters returned to action, as confirmed on Aug. 27, successfully guiding Voyager 1 towards Earth."

I thought it was on a path straight out into deep(er) space. towards the end of the article is speaks more in a tone of continuing into interstellar space.

I think they meant pointing at Earth, to transmit.
This. They are using old school RF communication. It has to be pointed towards us to get good comms. The long term path is still outwards but they gotta change orientation to get more commands and data to it.

Here's a fun thought. When Mr. NASA engineer hits SEND on that radio button - it takes over 22 hours for the signal to reach the spacecraft, Imagine that work cycle! So I guess that guy comes it, presses his button, goes and get some coffee, "OK see you gents tomorrow!"

ya.. that does make more sense. "Guiding... towards" is a poor choice of words on the author.

excuse me sir, but 22hrs will only get the message there. he has to wait almost another full rotation of the earth to find out if the message was received and executed. :D

constant weekends!
 

I remember when Rudy first started and had a tiny shop. The whole story is a bit crazy with how they knocked off other tuners.


Cobb also agreed to pay a $2.9M fine: United States Reaches Agreement with COBB Tuning Products for Clean Air Act Violations | US EPA

It has always been interesting that people can defeat this stuff so easily. EPA has gone after quite a few other shops - JH Diesel, PFI Speed, etc. The stories are wild.

They are working to get this stuff done ASAP because who knows what the next administration will do.

It will be either nothing, or everything.
 
He's been renting a place for how long?!?!?!
A whole lot of people do it. Not everyone has the financial standing or even desire to buy.

That article therefore proves that earth is flat, and space is round.
 
I'm finding this to be more and more true. One of the guys I work with is renting a house to a lady who is a real estate agent. She has no desire to own a house.
Yeah. It kinda makes since since everything about owning anything is upkeep, liability, and taxes. Rent keeps a lot of those expenses off the table.
