I thought to myself. How’s she gonna call from the plane? But then she explained to whomever she was in contact with.. “Yeah…yeah I can call, I just got a new phone that has airplane mode.” npub186dunx4ja6f8txz49wh8ynkjsueretrnc4hjl8xhx6cfp923dsgswk78mq Mike Sheward As the crew of Artemis IV glanced once more at the lunar surface, they knew it was time. They shuffled clumsily toward the lunar lander, reader to begin the process of heading back into the lunar orbit and a rendezvous with Orion for the journey home. The final NASA astronaut, Tom, appeared to hesitate at the lander door. Sensing her colleagues unusual motions, fellow astronaut Cassie turned to him. “Everything okay Tom?” she said, via the intercom. “Yeah…” he began to reply. “It’s just. I think. I think I’m gonna stay here, you know? Make a go of it.” “Huh?” Said Jerome, the third crew member. “Yeah, I’m gonna hang out here and see what I can do with the place,” Tom replied. “Good joke!” Jerome said. “Now get in lander.” “I’m not joking. You folks go on without me.” “Tom,” Cassie interjected. “There is no atmosphere. No access to healthcare. There are wild temperature oscillations. The food is ultraprocessed garbage.” “Are you talking about the moon, or the United States?” Tom retorted. Cassie turned to Jerome. “Yeah you know what I might stick around too.” #microfiction npub186dunx4ja6f8txz49wh8ynkjsueretrnc4hjl8xhx6cfp923dsgswk78mq Mike Sheward with the 2 line now open, Seattle visitors can take in the coffee and culture of downtown, before hopping on an eastbound train across the lake to explore the finest parking structures bellevue has to offer #seattle npub186dunx4ja6f8txz49wh8ynkjsueretrnc4hjl8xhx6cfp923dsgswk78mq Mike Sheward this is a pic of the real thing this setup is based on i took a few years ago when i got to play with a real 737 https://media.infosec.exchange/infosec.exchange/media_attachments/files/116/304/463/535/213/559/original/eb2d278775a3da28.jpeg npub186dunx4ja6f8txz49wh8ynkjsueretrnc4hjl8xhx6cfp923dsgswk78mq Mike Sheward the nice thing about being a sim pilot is that i didn’t have to deal with tsa https://media.infosec.exchange/infosec.exchange/media_attachments/files/116/304/424/579/414/715/original/26cdf9bffb345803.jpeg npub186dunx4ja6f8txz49wh8ynkjsueretrnc4hjl8xhx6cfp923dsgswk78mq Mike Sheward The FCC should designate any RAM manufactured outside of the US a security risk because I have an excellent Dodge RAM joke lined up npub186dunx4ja6f8txz49wh8ynkjsueretrnc4hjl8xhx6cfp923dsgswk78mq Mike Sheward my two 3d printers are now at the point where they both have various issues that need to be addressed, so i have come up with a plan: hotend replacement for printer 1 arrives today install that and use printer 1 to print a new fan shroud for printer 2 replace fan shroud for printer 2 and hope that does it a sort of critical path of bullshit npub186dunx4ja6f8txz49wh8ynkjsueretrnc4hjl8xhx6cfp923dsgswk78mq Mike Sheward america https://media.infosec.exchange/infosec.exchange/media_attachments/files/116/264/180/611/207/657/original/52d55a5cae0ff689.jpeg npub186dunx4ja6f8txz49wh8ynkjsueretrnc4hjl8xhx6cfp923dsgswk78mq Mike Sheward $5.15 gas here in my part of washington thanks to the war started by the no wars and lower gas prices guy npub186dunx4ja6f8txz49wh8ynkjsueretrnc4hjl8xhx6cfp923dsgswk78mq Mike Sheward went into full blown panic response mode earlier - one of our co-workers just started to send a couple of us really long strings of random characters on slack. no response was provided when we asked what was up - we assumed they were having some sort of medical emergency. anyway eventually I was able to get them on the phone, which is where they informed me they had a cat that will often wander across the keyboard. phew. npub186dunx4ja6f8txz49wh8ynkjsueretrnc4hjl8xhx6cfp923dsgswk78mq Mike Sheward @nprofile…29kj yeah i got the app on my phone and apple tv and it still works exactly the same for me npub186dunx4ja6f8txz49wh8ynkjsueretrnc4hjl8xhx6cfp923dsgswk78mq Mike Sheward @nprofile…29kj not that i saw - im still watching via the f1tv app but its linked to my apple tv account which i had to get specifically for this npub186dunx4ja6f8txz49wh8ynkjsueretrnc4hjl8xhx6cfp923dsgswk78mq Mike Sheward @nprofile…29kj i didn’t have commercials?
