July 4th! 250 years of country independence. Chilling and goosebumps. Won’t be around on 300th but 200 and 250th is awesome enough.
What’s amazing for us Americans, I and all true Americans have to stand up and cheer today for each of us fellow citizens on whatever what ever they believe in. To those that perhaps see our country differently, I will die trying to defend your right to actually believe in your ideals. To me that’s the freedom our fellow citizens have died for and honoring today the timeline those deaths have created.

Happy July 4th everyone!

@Reds Need to hit above 210-225 these days for a guy that hits home runs to stay around. Even then , HR count should be 30 plus but 20-25 would probably hold you above water on most clubs. Reds catcher teetering on similar path.

We all should get use to this across America, the folks that decide our reserve margins necessary for “ALL” scenarios look to what is correct according to the politics and not the engineering science of how our grid and generators actually work.
Engineers that think reliability is foremost, never had solar or wind as a dominant platform because us humans can not turn on when needed and can only turn off and force real assets to step back or disconnect completely as renewable has first right before all other generators besides nuclear. Not quite a market based economy.
Im good with solar on my property but not to where outside rules and regulations control my own equipment but we know, home solar is only great because we are contracted to sell over generation back to the grid and that’s a credit.

How about freedom to self repair Ham and CB radios? OEMs hide behind proprietary statements when you request technical information from the FCC for radio equipment accepted. It’s been a longstanding idea that these two FCC approved transmissions radio networks provide to owners of this equipment, service information so one cal self repair. Its even more important now because no official FCC license is required to work on these.

This denial of self repair causes many to disregard repairs due to time and costs in sending equipment to an oem approved service center so most just purchase new. For the most part, this equipment has become throw away technology.

@EmilySm43 Went to WDC that year with my father on a trip to Baltimore MD to pickup a tank and fitted that tank on a Ford Louisville truck.

Drive by that accident location many times a year. The luck of both vehicles at that same time during the life of the earth and back then, probably 1/2 the amount of cars and drivers.

Some interesting memorabilia at the gas station shopping store near that location that states this was his stop for fuel prior to the accident.

@MachFive6 @bigbatteryinc Lead Acid batteries work very well. That technology is the standard for most back DC sources for critical DC power supplies thats used for most power plant turbine control systems. One can even disassemble from cases, clean the plates and use many more years.

Our nonprofit has a small eBay store to raise funds. There’s not a week that goes by, a package shipped via USPS doesn’t have a problem. It’s either super late, damaged or lost. Last year. Over $1000 of lost or damaged merchandise we had to fund back to buyers and then we have to deal with insurance. This doesn’t include dropping off packages at the wrong address, not scanning packages at the final destination and sometimes, scammers finding out tracking numbers, create fraudulent labels and so there’s two packages, same tracking number going to different addresses.

Add in the computer and software problems at the counter plus the problems with the self serve Kiosk terminal that randomly shuts down right in the middle of scanning your 15-25 packages.

If this was a business , let it file for bankruptcy, sell the carcass pieces and be done with this experiment. 250 years is enough on or we just let it get worse. Here’s an idea, bid out the business and let a real company manage it. Plus, each post office its own p&l and quit the losers and sell the buildings.

So not doing abortions kill more women? Thinking we need more details. From Grok AI when asking the facts on this 9% statement.

“Core national maternal mortality rates per CDC data have fallen since 2022, not risen 9%. The 9% figure reflects one modeling study’s suggestive (but uncertain) estimate for broader pregnancy-associated deaths in a subset of ban states. Medication abortion expansion via mail/telehealth is not a credible driver of increased deaths—its risk profile is very low, and it has not produced detectable spikes in complications or mortality. Any real effects tied to bans more likely stem from increased births plus care delays/hesitation in restrictive legal environments.”

Let me explain, he wants you all to include the Save America Act with this one, both have similar pct of American citizens approval. Why not combine and give us these great bills. Heres why, Your party tells you to approve only one of the two so you get on social media as all of your party states you to do and blame this housing bill signing on Donald Trump.

How about thinking for yourself and what us Nevada folks want. But hey, its always party and power first, got it.

@reviewjournal People, let this happen. If its not built here in the states, 20 years from now, our data centers will not be in thr states, trillions of dollars not being spent here. Another failed political policy and horrible for our future.

@SenCortezMasto Why is a federal holiday tied to anything free? How about quit charging for us citizens to pay for admission into something we already own.
