From all of us at the SETI Institute, we wish godspeed to Reid, Victor, Christina, and Jeremy for the safe and successful completion of the #ArtemisII mission.

This is a profound moment not only for NASA but for all of humanity, and our thoughts are with you. Congratulations on a successful launch!

I finally have access to full sized machine tools again, so I've been able to resume working on this desktop 1/4 HP steam engine build (from a casting kit). I think at this rate I should have all the parts done in a month or two!

Tell the news.

It's nice to link to an article, or do more in depth analysis, but I really appreciate it when people who I trust and who are knowledgeable (especially in areas I know less about) summarize news and events.

Even if it's very local stuff. Especially the local stuff.

Big newsrooms are dying. The editor of the paper or producer of a "news hour" used to do this job, and it a powerful job with tremendous responsibility.

Social media is taking the place of editorial control.

Let us posit that you have adopted a reactionary and decadent stance. Let us say, hypothetically, that you have even engaged in anti-social behavior. Fine, and if you were such a deviant element, you would be subject to my base exploitation, correct? Then, speaking hypothetically, you would be my little vessel for filth. Now, let us also say you are a daughter of the patriarchal authority.

Now that we have established that you are both a deviant element and a daughter of the patriarchal authority, I believe you would agree with the collective when I say that you deserve a corrective struggle session. Am I not correct? A deviant element deserves to be disciplined, and as I represent the patriarchal authority, you are my subordinate, so I am the one who must administer the punishment.

I'm not in charge of anything at this shop. This is just a last ditch effort to reach out and try to save some beautiful old iron.

Does anyone know a museum or other institution that would be willing to take this large vintage railway wheel(?) press? It's marked "Chambersburg Engineering Co., No. 863", and a long time ago it was used to help maintain rail cars at the Port of San Francisco. Unfortunately it's going to the scrap yard this week because no museums we've tried are willing to come haul it away. boosts appreciated.

edit: Sorry folks, there was less time than I thought. It's already out the door this morning 😔
