Welcome to the #fediverse newcomers!

So I've already talked about this a lot elsewhere, but the US Senate voted to make daylight savings time permanent. This is against the advice of the AASM and the single sleep expert who testified and would be terrible for folks with sleep disorders and seasonal affective disorder.

I've talked to a lot of folks who initially think they support year-round DST, but after thinking it through realize they actually want year-round standard time.

You may have won the battle, but I just lost the game.

What do y'all think about the web0 manifesto?

Still need to figure out a way to reduce or deal with all the RF interference though.

Replaced the trimmer capacitors in my IC745 ham radio. Seems to be working so far. Need to find a frequency counter to calibrate the frequency though.

One things that strikes me is that energy storage has been a huge barrier to adopting wind/solar, but if heating is the end goal, storing energy as heat in thermal mass is a potentially good option!

Current special interests:
* Eco-friendly heating (passive solar, rocket mass, insulation)
* Yagi-Uda antenna design

Randomly remembering the time MIT undergrads converted one floor of their dorm to an all-night diner for a month because why-the-hell-not?

I've been reading Robin Hobb's Realm of the Elderlings books. Just finished the second trilogy. It hurts so good.
