SpaceX's Starlink is getting significantly faster across the U.S., while also attracting more customers from traditional DSL, cable, and fixed wireless providers, according to a new Ookla report.

Highlights:
• Starlink urban users are also growing faster than rural users.
• Median upload speeds surged 42% year-over-year, from 14.63 Mbps in 1H 2025 to 20.73 Mbps in 1H 2026, and improved in all 50 states and D.C., with gains ranging from 25% to 70%.
• The number of Starlink Speedtest users testing in urban areas grew at more than twice the rate of rural users from 1H 2025 to 1H 2026. Urban users grew faster than rural users in every state but Alaska and Hawaii.
• Starlink latency improved in nearly every state. Median multi-server latency improved year-over-year in 49 states and Washington, D.C.

SpaceX's next-gen Starlink V3 sats will help improve speeds and latency significantly.

Toyota is relaunching the Scion brand, and its first product is the KEI-01, a tiny truck with a 660-cc engine. The KEI-01 is basically a rebadged Daihatsu Hijet Jumbo, but will be assembled in Princeton, Indiana. Initial sales will be via a fleet-focused trial program, but limited retail sales could come if there is strong enough demand.

Found Rascal looking through film reels from his before times. Came across this one from the early 70's when one of Rascal's more interesting friends wrote and asked him if he might be willing to keep him company for what may be an unseemly situation that was unfolding in France.

He and Jean enjoyed their tobacco and, as you can see, that beautiful oak door in the background was kept perfectly safe and unharmed.

A side-by-side 12 gauge shotgun was the choice that day and so it is today, also.

For this week's festivities Rascal, myself, and the much appreciated @SummRidge have a McCoy 200A 28" 12gauge side-by-side shotgun for you!

As always we appreciate you all immensely.

Aim to recognize what is true, good, and beautiful and then aim to protect it.

As always
Good Luck
Godspeed
Keep Going
& have a great week!

🇺🇸 Dude at the Lakers game probably felt like he was realizing a dream when the ball fell in his lap.

Then he threw it at the courtside referee and woke up real quick.

Welcome to 2026. 🤣

Here it is! November's gear hook up is this @NARescue SRO Crisis Response Kit. It would be excellent for a first responder or as an on-site MCI kit for a school or church. Let me know in the comments if you want to win this BUT you can also tag anyone or any organization that you think needs it to enter them as well. This will run from Nov 2nd-9th. Let's really push this out there so it can reach beyond our little bubble. Good luck everyone.

Big news! SpaceX has just officially announced that they are partnering with Qualcomm to help build @Starlink Mobile's nationwide terrestrial 5G network, with deployment beginning in 2027.

Under the multi-year agreement, SpaceX plans to deploy tens of thousands of cellular sites across the U.S., powered by Qualcomm's Dragonwing infrastructure technology.

Details:
• Qualcomm will supply its Dragonwing QRU100 and QDU100 platforms to power Starlink Mobile's 5G base stations.
• The network will use advanced 64T64R Massive MIMO technology to improve coverage, capacity, and spectrum efficiency.
• Energy-efficient processing will help reduce power consumption and improve network deployment economics.
• The infrastructure will support multiple spectrum bands and lay the groundwork for future AI-native 6G technology.
SpaceX says its goal is to build the first fully integrated nationwide satellite and terrestrial mobile network, combining traditional cell towers with its satellite constellation to keep customers connected virtually everywhere.

This is a BIG step toward SpaceX becoming a full-fledged nationwide wireless carrier, directly competing with AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile. New competition is coming to town.

@harveyspistols @SummRidge I had an old Mercedes 260E that reminds me a lot of this fine automobile. Treated me well as a first car....until all the electrical gave out on my sister lol

[Harvey's Pistol & Pawn @harveyspistols]

Well, the time has come, @SummRidge 's boy is turning 15! Alex is getting his permit to drive and even though Brian and myself are TOTALLY comfortable teaching him to drive we decided that Rascal should do the honors!

Just touched base with Rascal and he muttered something about feeling safer in France and I told him him to stop being scaredy trash panda and to be a good friend. Got him in line now.

Evidently Alex needed a new hunting rifle so I reckon they are headed to Knoxville to shop a bit!

On theme for this week's fun is a Browning AB3 rifle chambered in .30-06!

Y'all know what we like but be sure and wish Alex, who this post should be a surprise to, a big hearty wholesome happy birthday!

As always, thanks to @SummRidge and let's all have a great week!

Good Luck
Godspeed (especially to you Rascal & Alex)
and Keep Going!
