⚠️ The challenge of our time is the re-rise of authoritarianism

@Alfred Can you please explain your technical implementation to me? Please be specific.

Many have said it. And I will repeat. We contain multitudes. And here that is celebrated. One day I will have a deep discussion on philosophy. The next hour on economics, and that will bring up dogs, or cats. CoSo is a cloth woven of many colors. Yet not just in surface reaction, but deep in knowledge and experience. Humor is always close at hand, as is sarcasm. We sit at the high table of self-curation, and take responsibility for our humanness. Mutual aid is always near by.

ANNOUNCE:

We've been listening to you.

Native Light-Mode is now available to ALL users of the counter.social web application and official mobile app. And it's in your preferences now!

Put it off all week:
But now I have to drive into town and do errands..

see ya'll later.

Remember Kids:

You have no idea what people are going through.
Even if they try to tell you.

"everyone has their reasons"

Some will be ethical and moral,
Some will be irrational or crazy,
Most will make no sense to you, without empathy and understanding.

Louder, for those in the back:
A lot of people are being played.

Occupy Democrats, Palmer Report, AlterNet, Wonkette, etc. They are the left equivalent of Newsmax, Fox News, OAN, Federalist et al. All are hyper-partisan outrage mills who misrepresent or exaggerate facts to gain page views which equals money.

Just because it matches with your political views doesn't mean it's accurate. Think for yourself, and dig deeper on your sources.

@Former5SportOfficial I have 97,934 twitter blocks.

I have 2 here.

Let that sink in.

A gentle nudge in the ribs here folks to remind you to go Pro and help Jester keep the lights on.Every little helps and all that.

Today I am grateful for.
Ken Thompson, Dennis Ritchie, Douglas McIlroy, Joe Ossanna, Brian Kernighan, and Peter G. Neumann.

If these names don't ring a bell, without them the thing you are reading this on might be very different. They and others, (i am sure i am forgetting someone), developed the first iteration of UNIX. The grandfather of all modern computer operating systems.

And, yes, LINUX runs the world, but its roots were planted by these guys.

So what do I do as a spacecraft engineer? The short story is I maintain the health of the satellite and ensure the payload can carry out its mission, whatever that may be.

Probably the most well known spacecraft that I've "flown" is the GPS constellation.

I've been fortunate to work in the industry for the last 15 years, here are a bunch of the patches from missions and units I've worked with and for. Its been a good career so far and I look forward to seeing where it takes me next.

Here's a shot of Artemis I that I took earlier this year during the wet dress rehearsal.

^^ If you're angry about people bringing Twitter here, then you have been here long enough to know how to use the tools.
