I found AJR a few months ago (Thanks Shorts), and I fell *in love* with their "Overtures" I was disappointed with the comment that there wasn't going to be an Overture in their next album (TMM) Two thoughts: 1. This will have to suffice for the "overture". 2. This short clip/overture is better than most songs I've heard.

Arch Linux intelati • 1 year ago • 100%

Sure Windows is the most used operating system, but its error codes and fixes are so obfuscated it's nearly impossible to drill down to find the root cause. It basically the opposite with Arch. You take a system designed to show what breaks, well maintained documentation, and an interested community, and you get an easy fix for most annoyances. I'm still new to the point of "it's probably something I don't know how to ask", but if your GoogleFu is well exercised, a fix is typically a search away

It's right by our pathway, so I can get a nice timelapse.

Great article by the host of my favorite Podcast. I remember hearing the "...that jerk" and mentally translating it as "dumb meanie" kind of mixing the current and archaic meaninga

https://www.nasa.gov/feature/geminis-first-docking-turns-to-wild-ride-in-orbit "Flight, we are docked," Armstrong radioed back. "It was a real smoothie." Things had gone well up to that point. Shortly after docking, Lovell had a message from Mission Control Houston just before the spacecraft passed out of communications range. "If you run into trouble, and the attitude control system of the Agena goes wild, just send in command 400 to turn it off and take control of the spacecraft," he said. The Agena was designed to obey orders from both the Gemini spacecraft and ground control. The Agena soon started a command program stored in its internal system. This instructed the Agena to turn the two spacecraft, but Scott noticed they were moving the wrong direction. "Neil, we're in a bank," he said. Armstrong used the Gemini's orbital attitude and maneuvering system, or OAMS, thrusters to stop the tumbling. However, the roll immediately began again, and Gemini VIII was out of range of ground communications. As Armstrong worked to regain control of the spacecraft, he noticed that the OAMS propellant was below 30 percent, an indicator that a Gemini spacecraft thruster might be the problem. Scott cycled the Agena switches off and on. Nothing helped. Although it was not confirmed until later, a yaw OAMS thruster was firing erratically, later believed to be due to a short circuit in the wiring. Not knowing, the crew's first reaction was to blame the Agena. So Scott pushed the undock button, and Armstrong backed Gemini away from the Agena. Without the added mass of the Agena, the Gemini's rate of spin began to quickly accelerate. Soon after, Gemini VIII came in range of the tracking ship USNS Coastal Sentry Quebec, stationed southwest of Japan. "We have serious problems here," Scott said. "We're tumbling end over end. We're disengaged from the Agena." A surprised James Fucci, spacecraft communicator aboard the ship, asked what the problem was. "We're rolling up and we can't turn anything off," Armstrong said. As the spin rate approached one revolution per second, the astronauts' vision became blurred. The tumbling needed to be stopped. Armstrong's quick thinking led him to turn off the entire OAMS system and then use the re-entry control system, or RCS, thrusters on the nose of the spacecraft to regain command of Gemini VIII and stop the spin.
