Could we please call him J.D., or Nazi VP wannabe or something?

All the Vance hate is sincerely confusing me.

Thanks,
The cool Vance

We’ve been quietly (mostly) working in the background the last few weeks on our plans and designs for Radio Rocket Version 4 👍. Ponzu (version 3) will stay in rotation for a while, but we have enough new ideas that we decided it was time to build another rocket. Initial designs are done, and some fab is already started 🚀

Our test of our AREDN link for the @RadioRocket went very well, which means for our next launch we’ll have another go at real-time telemetry tooting👍. The distance from home to launch site is less than half a mile, so it’s not really an amazing feet to have been able to make the link happen, but for a radio and model rocket nerd, it’s still exciting to see the thing actually work😀

Here’s what parenting can look like.

When I told my dad I was trans, my dad’s response was, “Oh! I can send you jewelry now!” (He was retired and made jewelry as a hobby).

Two days latter, I had a letter in the mail addressed to Joelle, the first time “Joelle” ever got mail, with a necklace in it. Later he made me this one. He told me, “I hope I got the colors right, I looked it up online.”

You don’t have to mourn a child transitioning. You can be the first to do so many affirming things.

Blah. I’m going to assume it’s bad that after just a routine restart my computer went straight to grub rescue mode. Got up and running again using a live USB and reinstalling grub, but now I’m like - WTF did that happen for.

Im technicalish enough to follow directions and get things running again, but not enough to figure out root cause for why it happened. 😢

Curses on you @adafruit 😀. I have stuff to work on but have gotten side-tracked browsing all the various modules you carry.

I know the kids had a good day when they’re this dirty and are excited to show me the critters they’re finding.
