Two Year Wars

Dear Yoda,

The R2 unit was very slow again this morning.
My wife (Leia) let him take a book while he did potty and no potty happened—only book reading.
After much screaming I removed the book and eventually took over control of the download. Download was completed and then I uninstalled the R2 unit from the potty. By now we were running late once again.
I am now attempting to reprogram the wife to understand that the R2 unit cannot multi-task at this stage.
My plan is to have potty be for potty and not for books and toys.
Books are fine when R2 is not actively in the potty for downloading.
Though there may be a struggle removing the book, this struggle should take place before entering the potty area.
Wish me luck! This type of reprogramming is risky business!

Sincerely,

Han
(from a galaxy far, far away....)

Robert Nettles IV, SPRUCE Project Operations Manager at Oak Ridge National Laboratory . I went into the site fueled primarily by my lifetime of interest in the natural environment; as well as my interest from volunteering as a park ranger in the Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge. However, by the time I was done, my interest in technology, from over 10 years as an IT professional, was thoroughly peaked! Definitely off the "beaten path," in a spruce bog in Northern Minnesota, this site boasts an incredible array of scientific equipment that is supported by an amazing technological infrastructure! There are control sites and some of the chambers have added heat, carbon dioxide, or both. A lot of equipment and experimental testing goes on 24/7, 365 days per year. These guys know their stuff. The 10 chambers are connected ...

Measles Outbreak?

The people dying from measles are unvaccinated. This is preventable. Those who are pushing misinformation are participating in the cause of these deaths.
