!WARNING! A new update for Windows 11 has compromised some makes of SSD drives. All is explained in the video below. I checked and "did not" have these updates, and I run the preview version of Windows 11.

So, I saw this story as a random popup on Facebook, and instantly doubted the heck out of it as people will post all sorts of stuff for likes and as we all know, a lot of it is nonsense. As usual when curious about such stuff, I did some quick research, and to my surprise, it seems to be a true story. Whattayouknow?! Good Kitty! 🐱🐈

Yeah Nah, don't bother, it was a good initiative, differences in culture are all, good night

Well, it's done. Today I fully uninstalled FSX. I've been on 2020 sense a few months after the release, but had the old girl on stand by. It was a significant investment, with addon's, mods, planes, livery's... the kitchen sink. The original box set with acceleration is even missing. I love 2020, it's what my FSX wanted to be. I am surprised at how terrible the ATC is in 2020, but that is a minor thing. My FSX was gigabytes and gigabytes of code. It sorta felt like loading everything from a passed loved one for the dumb. But it's done. I'm going to do what MSFS is kind of supposed to make you do, and that is go out and build an able computer. This time around, I have the …

And still not finished. Worth it? You decide.

Sightings were reported in 1966-1967. Point Pleasant, West Virginia where the Ohio River and Kanahaw River meet. The Silver Bridge collapsed during that time killing over 40 people as cars crossing the bridge tumbled into the Ohio River. There's probably 40 to 50 videos on Youtube about the Mothman of West Virginia. A recent one: I've seen the giant Sandhill Cranes here in California, same birds as in West Virginia. I've seen maybe 10 to 20 of them at the same time up close resting in a tree from time to time. And then they all fly. Never did they seem to look humanoid, they just looked like birds. They were huge. And protected by law.

Borneo Sun Bear Conservation Center? Indeed ?? Bah hah hah! LOL! It's their remote outpost and then they spy and watch!

I hate it when a TV program leaves you hanging. This afternoon I was watching William Shatner's The Unexplained. It was all about robots and AI. By the end of the house they had moved to military robots. There are a lot more of them than I realized. Lots of different types of ai battlefield robots and ai drones or aircraft. It ends with just one or a dozen or more robots having defeated all of the enemy robots without any loss of human lives. And then what? AND THEN WHAT? Noel

I live adjacent to a T intersection that has three stop signs. This street is parallel and one block north of a busy street that has three lanes in each direction. Our street has a 25 mph speed limit, but the traffic to and from the busy street exceeds the limit, and ever since the pandemic a lot of drivers ignore the stop signs, but so far there have been no accidents. What fascinates me is watching when an electric scooter drives by. It looks exhilarating, but what gets me is that people on them are standing up straight while going 30-35 mph. What happens if they hit a small pothole or if a driver of a parked car suddenly opens their door to get out? There's nothi…

During my time in the USAF, I have flown the F-4 Phantom, KC-135(707), and a B-52 motion simulator. The B-52 is heavy on the controls with 8 throttles!

So apparently it's National Aviation Day in the USA. It also corresponds with Orville Wrights birthday. Thank you Orville and Wilbur😀 https://nationalaviationday.org/ https://www.nasa.gov/aeronautics/national-aviation-day-2025/

Construction of world's 1st nuclear fusion plant starts in Washington https://share.google/tu0XzIKzBKTHWCxdh "A Washington-based company has started the construction of a nuclear fusion facility in Chelan County, Orion. Helion Energy aims to produce low-cost, clean electric energy using a fuel derived from water. The plan is to produce electricity from fusion by 2028 and supply the power to Microsoft data centres."

Now available on Apple TV. I'm enjoying it so far. Great series. Invasion is back next month. And the new Alien TV series on the 12th.

It happened on flight TAP848H due to the unavailability of toilets and what French air traffic controllers understood when responding to the pilot's requests.

Rest in peace, Flight Lieutenant John Cruickshank, Royal Air Force. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cy4d7j18v5qo

A UPS 747-8 freighter from Hong Kong to Taipei made its third attempt to land at Taipei Airport 05L in crosswinds of up to 41 knots. The right wing drooped after touchdown, causing the right outer engine nacelle to contact the ground.

Uhmmmmm.......

I loaded KATL and KDFW from Imagingsim. Both are now MSFS2024 Compatible and have exclusive files for MSFS2024. I am confused what I really have in my community folder. I have multiple files in FS2024 Community that say KATL poles, KATL Parked Cars, KATL street lights - al say Version 2.2.0. None of these files refer to ImagineSim but are enabled. The scenery looks really good. But I don't have any airplane liveries as the ImagingSim splash page shows. I also have MSFS2020 Imaginesim KATL file that is DISABLED. So what do I really want to enable - the one that says MSFS2020 (even though I loaded the MSFS2024 version). Or keep all the non-names fil…
