the ship that can’t sink

I’m going to zero in on this line:
“we have no way of knowing what their allegiance is to America… is that a problem?”

I think it’s uncanny that you then reference Orwell’s 1984, which does its part in describing living in a fascist state (in good company with the two books I mentioned in my piece). All authoritarian states start with an appeal to safety. “We are at war.” “Enemy of the state.” “Rapist immigrants.” We surrender our liberty in exchange for security, says Ben Franklin.

I find the question, “what is their allegiance” fundamentally distrustful. Turning neighbor against neighbor turns our eyes away from the leaders in power.

Yellowstone trip

Me too! It’s such a clever critique of our consumerist culture. And oddly fitting movie for us that night in our camper. πŸ˜„

Digital volume knob fix

I’ll email you and get some pictures of the situation!

That’s correct Breanna. The pot isn’t a true potentiometer. It’s a digital device, sending out pulses for direction and speed.

Sorry Sean, no. The mounting circuit board is most certainly made by Toyota, so you’d have to get that OEM. Good luck!

Yup, I’m afraid you’ll need to solder it. Do you want some help? I’m available for the small price of a Starbucks coffee. ☺️

Awesome work!

Hey, nice fix Phil!

Sorry, no. Another reader was researching it though. I’ll ask him…

Greg, this Automate app supports exporting and importing of programs. If you decide to try it, I can share you some of mine.

Umbrella Corporation! Help, I have acquired “vivid sight” after ingesting too many of your medications.

GaSiProMo

Huh, I’ve never heard of Pinoccio. Thanks for the heads up. So many great hardware tools these days!

Bearable wearable

Yeah, a wearable is definitely the way to go for a morning wakeup.

From iOS to Android, part 2: ecosystem shock

One other note about Picasa is that you are free to move the files and folders around on your computer and that won’t break Picasa. It will auto-rediscover where you’ve moved them. Very nice feature!

I’ll have to check out Prime music again. I’ve been loving Spotify.

Dell OptiPlex motherboard repair

Depends on the job. If it’s a personal project like this one, then no.

We’re good!

Sparked interests and water analogs

Interesting observations! Traffic is indeed a curiosity of mass psychology.

One of these years I think it would be fun to get into signal engineering.

cell phone plan switcheroo, part 2

Yeah the pre-paid options are good one too. Good luck!

Denver Whats-its?

Not sure I follow with the perks question. Perhaps that’s your answer. I’m unaware of any other perks beyond the contract-less, zero-overage, cheaper plan.

That’s great to hear, Nate! For the past few days, I thought this solution was too good to be true.

» Posted By Rob On October 25, 2013 @ 8:26 am

Wow, that’s an incredible price! The temptation to switch lately is mounting…

» Posted By Rob On October 25, 2013 @ 8:24 am

Good info, Eliot! I’m definitely using this guide when I get our SIMs soon. Have to unlock our phones next.
