All Activity

Followed up the "facon" with some real "pancetta"/pork belly Not shown various other cooked meats that were very good. We will need to back and work through the menu. Nice al fresco location.

Done

Made in Japan (Steven Wilson Remix) by Deep Purple (1972/2025) https://album.link/0b4crwz0vbhdt Thanks to Steven for making this album come 'alive'. And it is worthy of the remix. Rock on.

That Facon looks quite suspect.

Greek Yogurt and Dubai Ice cream

I like the Omega but, as with all rare items, it depends on how bad you want it. Also, have to factor in import fees depending on where you’re at along with running the risk that it could arrive and have an issue. Will you be outside the window to return (if there even is one)?

1200000 jpy+ is it worth it?

Hotel Breakfast "Bacon" Sarnie

Thanks everyone, really appreciate the support so far. Plan to hit the road again this weekend and log some more miles.

Looks right up there with ouzo....woof HS

Have your bibs yet? #BibsMasterRace

I’ve had fun riding around on the local bike share bikes. Tailbone is getting used to being back on a bike seat. I love walking and hiking but the sense of speed you get on a bike is kind of intoxicating. Next step for me will be to do some weekend rentals of demo bikes from the local bike store. I’m going to try an e-bike and a gravel bike and see what takes.

Complementary dessert and paint stripper or was it raki?

Greek Salad (from the source?) Smoked pork risotto. Both outside, gone nine (o'clock) and the place is jumping. (Well it is tolerably cooler now)

Cure, Paris/Show I haven't listened to the others as much, but these are some of my favourite live albums from Robert Smith & co. Robert Smith at his most vulnerable/heartbreaking -- the song, "Apart", from Paris: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YS6ZyAsUA-w

Ryan Truesdell: Shades of Sound: Gil Evans Project Live at Jazz Standard Vol.2 Very good. I'll be listening to this more. Some background on this project: Recording of July 2025: Shades of Sound: Gil Evans Project Live at Jazz Standard Vol.2

on the golden reference HV you need enough voltage across the 5.1ohm 5W current sense resistor (R11 on the positive rail) to activate the current limit. *If* I remember correctly the stock 5.1 Ohm gives about 90mA and 2.6ohm (two 5.1ohms in parallel) gives about 175mA. V(drop)=IR so you are looking at about 0.09A*5.1Ohm = ~0.46V to activate the current limiter so V/I = R 0.46V/your required current in A = current senses resistor in ohms. This resistor value will probably need some fine tuning and you ideally want to use a 5W part rated for high voltage.

Done as well. Go get ‘em, Nate!

Re:

Done. Enjoy the ride.

^^ Bummer. I am not sure where Bloomberg comes into play. I guess I should have backed the project to get a physical copy to share. Anyway, The basics are that there is a thriving black market for the AI GPUs in China, and none of it is illegal there. And they explored both the direct smuggling of CPU's into China, and the crazy manufacturing of Non-SKU cards for use using defect cards. I am sure that they will fight this and it could be reposted. With all that, it was a bit long, I think they could have gotten it down to about 2 hours with some proper editing.

Whelp, I got through half of it, but Bloomberg had it taken down before I could make it to Friday. So... how does it end?

Love you guys. Put in some decently hard work this week. 46 mile gravel loop Sunday around the seacoast, a few runs, and the back/forth commute today add up to over a 100 mile week and it's only Thursday. I'm a little over half way to my fund raising goal. Onward. Upward.
