For a half century now, Republicans a) pretend to care about deficits when Dems are in power, as a pretext to cut spending, & b) massively grow deficits when they are in power, via tax cuts for the rich. The mainstream political press has not just allowed this deception, they've actively colluded.

From the tombs of hell the desperation of existence rises wrought with suffering and struggling, no light to be seen no warmth to be felt, the sound of screaming and deafness fills the still frozen air, like zombies marching through time, with no hope of life a dead soul weighted down by an earthly body broken by time.

Voyager 1’s Primary Thrusters Revived Before DSN Command Pause


As with all aging bodies, clogged tubes form an increasing issue. So too with the 47-year old Voyager 1 spacecraft and its hydrazine thrusters. Over the decades silicon dioxide from an aging rubber diaphragm in the fuel tank has been depositing on the inside of fuel tubes. By switching between primary, backup and trajectory thrusters the Voyager team has been managing this issue and kept the spacecraft oriented towards Earth. Now this team has performed another amazing feat by reviving the primary thrusters that had been deemed a loss since a heater failure back in 2004.

Unlike the backup thrusters, the trajectory thrusters do not provide roll control, so reviving the primary thrusters would buy the mission a precious Plan B if the backup thrusters were to fail. Back in 2004 engineers had determined that the heater failure was likely unfixable, but over twenty years later the team was willing to give it another shot. Analyzing the original failure data indicated that a glitch in the heater control circuit was likely to blame, so they might actually still work fine.

To test this theory, the team remotely jiggled the heater controls, enabled the primary thrusters and waited for the spacecraft’s star tracker to drift off course so that the thrusters would be engaged by the board computer. Making this extra exciting was scheduled maintenance on the Deep Space Network coming up in a matter of weeks, which would troubleshooting impossible for months.

To their relief the changes appears to have worked, with the heaters clearly working again, as are the primary thrusters. With this fix in place, it seems that Voyager 1 will be with us for a while longer, even as we face the inevitable end to the amazing Voyager program.

Even Once Reluctant Scholars Now Agree on Israel's Gaza Assault: It's a Genocide | Common Dreams


Julia Conley

"Melanie O'Brien, president of the International Association of Genocide Scholars, told NRC that #Israel's deliberate blockade on "food, water, shelter, and sanitation" convinced her the #Netanyahu government was carrying out a #genocide, while Segal pointed to "openly genocidal statements" by #Israeli leaders.

"But for all it is about the sum of what would apply separately as 'ordinary' war crimes," NRC reported. "The picture as a whole makes it a genocide. That is how the term is meant, says [British professor Martin] Shaw: 'holistic.'""

I appreciated that it was an everybody masked event - and had a terrific if quick chat on old 🍏 computers in my office and Chemistry hacking too.

And thanks to @pluralistic I also found out yesterday about a computer museum a short drive away - I hope you make it there soon!

And since the pic of my office in the previous toot was an older one - here's the add on there taken today - my first computer a #ZXSpectrum (needs a TV to work - yes of course I have an old CRT at home...so kids know what color a dead channel is)

And while I'm showing off old junk some disks that persist after culls (don't ask why)

I happened to hear a song that in these days of US immigration awfulness makes me smile about my Canadian immigration experience 21 years ago. I came to Montreal to get a work permit (that eventually led to PR and citizenship). The agent read my birth certificate (No passport needed then!) and seeing the birth city, literally burst into song with this:

@AskPippa🇨🇦 I forget they don't have reservations there. I was thinking they could split off and become part of another province or something.
