@paleontologizing.bsky.social Hey! This just showed up on my phone just now! www.sltrib.com/news/environ...

Can we just never use “smart post” or shut it down?

First painting in 3 years, done in a workshop by friend of Bob Ross, Bram Bevins.

All I gotta say is “What did you expect?”

The BBC is quite correct.

@paleontologizing.bsky.social I’ve been rewatching Star Trek: The Next Generation, and in the 4th season episode, Brothers, we find out that Data's creator has a certain interest.

Why has the world gone insane? Have we learned nothing at all from history both recent and distant? Guess not.

Just bought 4 more old radios at auction to restore. After that I think it’s time to build a pinball machine from scratch.

My latest tube radio restoration is complete. It was a total mess inside & out. It’s a 1951 Crosley D-25 clock radio with alarm, snooze, and sleep timer.

This Crosley D-25 radio from 1951 was a complete mess. Someone had drilled a hole in the top center of the cabinet, removed its feet, added parts that shouldn’t have been there, cut parts free and left them hanging, cut wires & twisted them together with other wires. These are the before pics.

As a kid, and now, was interested in why & how. Why does a radio work? Got a ham radio license. How is tv made? Worked at NBC for 2 weeks (no thanks!) Nothing is magic. Not even magic. Why does it fool us? Learned how it works. How can humans migrate into space? Made it my career.

We're chatting about bird evolution, recent fossil discoveries, newly-published papers, and who-knows-what-else (it's a viewer-question-driven stream, after all!) on twitch.tv/paleontologizing Come join us!
