@JesseO007 @MAGA_X_Times Right. My wife would say something like, "Don't have a Spazz attack." and possibly, "Just walk away and come back to it later." (Her wisdom is time- tested, tempered and nearly always true!)

@dasaridass @MAGA_X_Times At the top of this thread instructions for turning off the ink cartridge check were given, isn't this all that is needed? (A bit like an auto co. advising to only use genuine XYZ parts in car repairs...)

@austintaytay420 @HighlyStrange True account? So, did you turn out to have a curable illness which was treated and you made your way back to being "normal"?

@CleanTecSystems @SpaceX Douglas Adams once described a spaceship as being, "totally frictionless. See what I mean?" and that is something nobody has come close to as of yet. Nice, Holly- wood dreaming there.

@CleanTecSystems Follow. #SpaceCannon needs to trend. If the two games used will be read- ily available to @SpaceX, you might have made the first "space native" defensive or offensive #weapon! It might actually be of use sooner or later. Patents? Designs for sale with a Liability release?

@CleanTecSystems @njack2af It would take an... aerodynamically "perfect" projectile to launch it up to the height of the #ISS and I recommend never, ever, mention- ing an attempt to do it. No. Not a good idea.

@CleanTecSystems @elonmusk It would be a... BILLION to 1 odds of actually intercepting a #Starlink satellite traveling at 1,000, 15,000 or some such miles per hour! Geostationary would mean 1,000 mph rela- tive to your place on the surface. Hitting anything is astro- nomical. Worry about hitting a neighbor

@CleanTecSystems @elonmusk Yeah, don't do that.

@packyM @BrandonFugal @HISTORY 2%, 5%, or something per season, or possibly tied to viewership or the good, old Nielsen ratings. Any amount the network is kicking in, for expenses to keep Travis, Erik, and all the others around, or whatever. TV production (remote, onsite) cannot be cheap! I hope they break BIG

@packyM @BrandonFugal I believe most Billionaires are quite focused on the stability and predictability of their revenue streams. #SkinwalkerRanch is a thing that attracts curiosity and draws a person into it. @BrandonFugal is not going it solo I bet, even if @HISTORY only "underwrites" tiny %.

@ObviousUnrest @packyM @BrandonFugal It is the far end of the Mesa, closer to the Homestead site from what I was able to tell. The pad(s) are not near the Triangle where much of the active investi- gation work is happening. (P.S. I hope Erik and Travis are collaborating on notes to create a reference book for all!)

You spent $2,000 on a MacBook Pro for a new hire. Then $180 a year on the Microsoft 365 seat, $60 on Adobe, $144 on Slack, $240 on Zoom. All assigned to one laptop, one employee, one desk. Then your CFO asked how many of the 400 laptops in this company are actually being used, and by whom. You opened the Google Sheet. Half the rows were blank. Employees who left six months ago still had assets assigned. So IT called ServiceNow. ITAM Standard is $100 per user per month. Professional $150. Enterprise $200+. The median ServiceNow contract on Vendr is $124,364 a year. Implementation runs three to five times the license fee. Then IT called Lansweeper. $239 a month for 2,000 assets. Then IT called Freshservice. $19 per agent, then metered on every asset over 500. You are paying six figures a year to answer "who has laptop DELL-4471" in 2026. Now meet Snipe-IT. A free and open source IT asset management platform that runs on your own server and tracks every laptop, phone, license, and cable your company owns. No cloud. No agents. No per-seat fee. Built in 2013 by a developer named Alison Gianotto who was the CTO of a New York City ad agency when the office had to move. Her team was tracking hundreds of laptops in a Google Doc. She tried every commercial and open source tool. None of them worked. So she wrote her own. When she finished the first full inventory, she discovered the agency was missing $25,000 in assets. Her husband nagged her for months to add a PayPal button. She finally did it. Two days later she had a paying customer. Snipe-IT itself stayed free. 14,113 stars. 3,886 forks. AGPL-3.0. Pushed to the repo today. Here is what Snipe-IT gives you: - Track every laptop, phone, monitor, cable, and accessory in one place - Assign assets to users, departments, or locations with full history - Software license management with seat tracking and expiration alerts - Barcode and QR code generation for physical labels - Custom fields, statuses, and categories - LDAP, SAML, and Google Workspace SSO - REST API for every endpoint - Runs on any Linux box, Docker, or a $5 VPS Here is what Snipe-IT costs: Zero. Forever. No per-user fee. No asset cap. ServiceNow charges $100 per user per month. Snipe-IT doesn't. Lansweeper charges $239 a month for 2,000 assets. Snipe-IT doesn't. Freshservice meters every asset over 500. Snipe-IT doesn't. Ivanti and Flexera hide their pricing behind a sales call. Snipe-IT doesn't. Here's the wildest part: Snipe-IT is used by Sony, Yale University, Fujitsu, and thousands of school districts, hospitals, and government agencies that couldn't stomach a $124,000 ServiceNow bill. Alison's official title at Grokability is Chief Mohawk Officer. For a 50-person IT team, you save $60,000 a year. For a 500-person company, you save $600,000 a year. Your assets. Your database. Your server. 100% Open Source. (Link in the comments)

@FrankReill98989 @Gracezirn I read they did do that. Also, the horse was trained to "talk" when a stick or broom handle like rod touched his front legs.

Data will tell all...? #SkinwalkerRanch More Ranch-periments. Bottle drops with GPS tracking. Rocket launches. ... Did I hear 100 bottles? Maybe they need a bottle release rack system? Jettison multiple bottles with data acquisition all at once?

Again, whoa! Insightful. I like it! More, more!

🚀 Why Does Tomorrow Still Look Like Yesterday? Warp drives. Matter transporters. Limitless clean energy. A century ago, the future seemed limitless. Then the pace of fundamental breakthroughs slowed, and that future quietly slipped out of reach. Here's the puzzle. If physics

🧐 Where Skepticism Becomes Science 🔬 Skepticism asks. Science goes and looks. Both are necessary, and the first is where the second starts — but somewhere between them there's a line, and nothing shows where it sits better than the long-running argument over Skinwalker Ranch's

@naflasco "Mute" @naflasco because I don't care about trans- forming images.

@daratbastid @rev_g00d @AlchemyAmerican @BrandonFugal I tend to think so as well. The evi so far seems to agree. How many of the crew suspect? Travis? Erik B.? Thomas W.? Brandon F.? It may be the under-appreciated television program of our lives. Ultimately.

@HighlyStrange Voice of #BugsBunny: "Ehh, so you think I might be hiding a UFO in the oven of Homestead 2?" In the voice of Thomas Winterton: "You might rabbit, you might." Bugs: "And would I turn the gas on like this?" then "And would I strike a match and trow it in like that?"

@NZInvestigator @jratcliff @AlchemyAmerican @BrandonFugal And what, the History Channel is simply a vehicle for attaching advertising to popular content? That's it? That's all TV is meant to do, just keep eyeballs looking, keep brains interested in detergent, air freshners, new cars and hard clumping cat litter?? .. {sigh} Watch #DrWho.
