@johnkonrad The NSMVs that followed the VCM model are how we build ships faster. Been involved with NSMV since The Empire State, and Excited to see what is next. The future is bright for shipbuilding.

Everyone turn off your minds

Your listening to a raid on the state of your
Democracy in kind”

This is my yearly reminder that Happy New Year is not plural.

Gracen (5yo): I choked and it almost damaged the wire that makes me talk.

Me: what? The wire?

Two days later, I got it. He meant his vocal cords and equated the word cord with a wire/cord.

This kid is smarter than me sometimes.

@corg_e @bsidesnash Great con. The venue was perfect from an attendee's perspective. I’m sure, as an organizer, you are picking apart issues that occurred, but the execution seemed flawless. Great work.

Only in Huntsville can you pull off a synchronized @Tesla lightshow with a Saturn V rocket in the background.

Super fun experience. My car is 3rd from the left.

While we are just getting rid of things with a stroke of a pen (I mean sharpie), daylight savings time would be something non-political, and we can all agree that it is ridiculous. @DOGE @POTUS

Early Blue Sky is much better than early Twitter. Not as many posts similar to “just setting up my BlueSky”. Nods in @jack direction.

New hobby: Hanging out in a coffee shop in Huntsville listening to engineers argue about Tesla chargers which ended up in a long conversation about AC vs DC.

You can’t escape the engineers in this city, they are everywhere.

May all the newsroom enjoy their election night pizza.

@atrupar As someone that lived in Greenville for the Obama years, this is not surprising. Pitt County where Greenville/ECU is located normally is blue, it’s the rest of Eastern NC that is red.

And that’s a wrap! The long awaited CMMC final rule will be published this coming week in the federal register. https://t.co/IiY6YwCFml

Got to see Tom Morello play at the South Star Music Festival and he did not disappoint. His tribute to Cornell was fantastic.

Tomorrow’s highlights - Sublime and Blink 182.

[Brad Proctor @bradproctor]

@BSidesBHAM It is a fantastic idea that allows those who can provide higher monetary support to do so.

Winter is coming. The 32 CFR rule that establishes the CMMC Program has cleared OMB review and will enter a 60 day congressional review once published. The CMMC program will be official in a little over 60 days. https://t.co/PL98lINktb

My last 36 hour saga thanks to @Delta.

12 hours in RI airport
8 flight delays which ended up being cancelled at 11 PM
No available flights out until Monday (48 hours later)
Zero accommodations other than offering a credit

The creeping delays left very few options once finally cancelled.

Extremely frustrated, I rented a car (one of the six left) and started a 17 hour (1,088 mile) drive home. When I arrived to drop the car off, the attendant told me I was the 60th person on her shift that did the same thing.
