25 years of this shit, and I still really have no idea what I am doing, I have just become pretty good at faking it.

I took the day off, so of course the copper thieves decided that this morning was the perfect time to steal the copper from the pole in front of our district office.
Why yes, this also took out our fiber links between all our sites as well as our internet and phones.

@wilwheaton.net Can I ask you something that just popped into my head? Is it weird that there are literal action figures and now Lego figures of you out there?
And do the manufacturers get your sign off on them before they can sell them?
These are the types of questions that keep me up and night.

Some vendors sent us some of those video marketing card things and I snagged 2 of them, one with a 7" screen and one with a 5" screen.
I'd love to repurpose the screens, so does anyone know how to work out what kind of interface they use via the flat cables? Or is this impossibly hard to do?

Us: Julian, why is there a crumpled up piece of paper in your back pack?
Julian: Oh, that's a picture of a polar bear in a snow storm.
The paper is completely blank, on both sides.

So apparently in the year 2266 they still play Wham! at parties.
Yep, that's in official Star Trek lore, and I'm ok with it.

Anyone know where I can get a cable like this? It appears to be 16 pin, one end has a 1.0mm pitch, the other 1.5mm pitch, with a total length of around 80mm.
Or does anyone have any idea how this could be repaired or replaced creatively (it's for a Creative Infra drive, see what I did there!)

1/ Am I disappointed by the vote last night, yes.
Do I think they should have gone the way they did, probably not, but I do have to admit that I am simply not qualified to make this call. They are playing a game that most of us know very little about.

@wilwheaton.net Since I know you like the choose-your-own-adventure books, Star Trek and gaming, have you tried Star Trek: Resurgence? It's on sale on Steam right now for $8 and it's basically a choose-your-own-adventure episode of classic TnG with a very well written story.

@adriansdigitalbasement.com I have to ask, how's it been living under the "radical left's reign of terror"? Did they offer you free health care, legal protections against discrimination or cost effective food yet?
Leavitt: "President Trump will end the radical left's reign of terror in Portland once and for all. The president has directed Secretary Hegseth to provide all necessary troops to protect war-ravaged Portland."
