- Fred Stiening said How long until the NY Times does a story on the significance of the special election in Texas yesterday to replace a Democrat Texas State Senator? https://amp.ksat.com/news/election-results/district-1...
- Fred Stiening said A recent WordPress update (the software behind the blog) appears to have removed this sticky post, which why it was not at the top. Hopefully that will stay fixed.
- CC1s121LrBGT said The relay is back. Wilmington Tower apparently has internet access again. Appears to be live. Still night.
- Fred Stiening said More to the specific point, the breaking news information would not be indexed in real time by Google – so nobody would see it, even if the information was potentially useful. That is a spin o...
- Fred Stiening said The latest deaths (in South Carolina) were two female mental health patients being detained inside a van who drowned. They were being moved inland for their safety.
- foyle said We are hanging in there. Survived many hurricanes but first time we have been flooded. 3+ feet of water got in. We have removed 4 feet of drywall, plus all floor coverings, tossed furniture & app...
- CC1s121LrBGT said The links were interesting and probably useful to the general public… probably less so for me since I have a feel for what stations exists across the country. While it is outside the scope or &...
- briand75 said Okay – it’s pretty quiet here. First priority – is everyone in the affected area okay? There is a chance that some folks are flooded out, so I will keep an eye out. If anyone needs a...
- Fred Stiening said There used to be an ability to put a breaking event on the top of the directory pages giving links to radio stations with live coverage, but I must have commented out the code. I don’t think I...
- CC1s121LrBGT said Just now… trying to stream the Chris Plante Show from WAAV 980 Wilmington, NC to also catch the local news and the stream is off line. It is my first visit to the stream since the storm. I suspe...
- Fred Stiening said 79 customers in Mecklenburg County are without power.
- Parrott said Hope Foyle is ok. I hate flooding. My Grandparents were always getting flooded in West Virginia. Clean up sucked, mud on everything. Might as well throw away furniture. Finally they moved out of t...
- Fred Stiening said People without power in NC down to 221,000. That is a lttle misleading as a number of small towns run their own power systens, buying power at wholesale rates, and doing their own billing and maint...
- CC1s121LrBGT said Hang in there, Foyle. Our thoughts are with you!
- foyle said Glad it has been minimal there. Some of us have not been so fortunate and now find ourselves homeless due to flooding.
- Fred Stiening said The flag took on the name Kevin in the YouTube chat and has achieved the status of an official meme. KevinTheFlag.com is selling limited edition T-Shirts (limited to how many people order)
- Fred Stiening said About 3% of Mecklenburg County is without power. Power was off here for maybe 10 seconds. No major roads blocked. Statewide about 390,000 without power, about 10% of Duke Energy’s customers,...
- Fred Stiening said The NWS is standing by its prediction that the storm will stall along the coast for a day, move South, then cross South Carolina It came ashore as a Category one with the totally expected coastal floo...
- Fred Stiening said It was getting its internet access relayed from the Wilmington Tower, and the feed went down
- CC1s121LrBGT said Snorting wasp spray is the new bee’s knees! 😉
- Parrott said Exactly ! and then you have ‘Boltneck’ Herman munster-Kerry out there meeting with the Iranians, behind everyones back. telling them to wait till the ‘Dipshit-Democrats’ are...
- CC1s121LrBGT said Dumping treasuries is meaningless. That is basically what happened systemically in 2008 and the Fed printed money and bought them as people sold and/or refused to buy the new issues. People are not c...
- Fred Stiening said The best reason China would not do that is the same reason threatening to dump Treasuries is a hollow threat. If you succeed in burning down every building in America, you lost your customer base.
- CC1s121LrBGT said Possible. Also, cause self-driving cars to crash, or batteries in laptops, cell phones, and cars to overheat and catch fire. I can see a terrorist doing this or a nation-state that naively thinks they...
- CC1s121LrBGT said Good find, Fred. This should get interesting during the day, and there is no one from the weather channel standing in front of it blocking the view and yelling to ruin it.
- Fred Stiening said Eyewall has collapsed, winds way down Washington Post will not be giving Donald Trump credit
- Fred Stiening said Google, the day after https://www.infowars.com/shocking-leaked-video-google-leaders-dismayed-by-trump-win-at-conference/

- Fred Stiening said Well, what a difference 8 hours can make The models were starting to all diverge, some suggesting it might even go down the coast to Florida. The official cone has it heading South and ripping throu...
- Fred Stiening said So things suddenly turned ugly. The new track has the center going through South Carolina putting Charlotte on the strong side of the storm. While the landfall has not changed, the “what happ...
- CC1s121LrBGT said A danger is the entities owned by the Chicoms buying into nascent Silicon Valley firms that are extending key strategic technology – so that the Chinese communists get an edge over the US milita...
- Fred Stiening said The official NWS cone has the storm stalling around Fayetteville and not getting here until Sunday and then it won’t be much more than strong breezes. I see little chance of it getting to Norf...
- Parrott said Governor Ralph Northam -ham-ham-ham says were in state of emergency. Freaking out at the local china mart, bread and milk sales are ‘Brisk’ according to local news babe ‘Jessica Rab...
- Parrott said super mega awesome, Chairman ! 15MBPS isn’t so bad. Way better than 3.0 MBPS dsl ! Cool place. That is a great area, you already know the obvious. I entered a contest once to win a trip...
- CC1s121LrBGT said Wrong-on-every-issue, MSNBC commentator Bill Kristol has managed to have his organization become “the” conservative fact checker for Facebook: https://amp.theguardian.com/technology/201...
- Fred Stiening said SpaceX launch of Telstar 18 was delayed for an hour, but was flawless. Stage 1 nailed the landing and the satellite is in Geostationary Insertion Orbit ready to make the flight to its final location
- CC1s121LrBGT said NJ has a situation in most towns where you can not take out a large tree – even if it is in dangering power lines – without a permit… and of course, you’d have to pay someone t...
- TheChairman said It’s the opposite in northern MI, power companies come in and trim (butcher IMO) any trees which are within 10 feet of their lines… in one case, we just told them to take out the entire tr...
- Fred Stiening said I promise not to say hunkering down. About a month ago, our condo property management company cut down many of the trees “too close” to the buildings. It was for foundation reasons –...
- TheChairman said Will be watching and listening via fake news outlets and sensationalist weather reporters for the next week (until I’m back online)… batten down the hatches! Over & out.
- Fred Stiening said Apple has now removed the app from the aptly named apple appstore. Apple has the ability to remotely remove apps already on your phone / tablet
- Fred Stiening said So Hurricane Florence is pointing right at Charlotte for arrival around Friday. Hurricanes usually turn and go up the coast. People who lived here then remember Hurricane Hugo hitting Charlotte hea...
- TheChairman said You bet it does! CC & Parrott, you may want to hold off until Fall. 😉 The sellers are in their 70’s and didn’t do much to clear out the ‘habitat’ and trees over the pas...
- Fred Stiening said Does it come complete with midge bugs?
- Fred Stiening said If her original stunt was planned as an eventual YouTube career, it did not convince me. Neither do the “I look smart because I wear glasses” pitch. I guess that was her disguise.
- CC1s121LrBGT said Absolutely Awesome, TheChairman! Makes me want to kick back and pop open a Vernors. 😉 When’s the housewarming? I’ll bring the cheese steaks. Parrott, could you bring the Chesapeake Bay...
- TheChairman said … and the shore below (we already spotted our first freighter tonight, all lit up):
- TheChairman said Today was ‘zero-day’ for us. After a long grueling summer, countless hours searching Zillow, and numerous property showings, we finally closed on a house. “Thank you sir, may I have...
- CC1s121LrBGT said And perhaps even paid to perform on camera. Recall the Democrat Presidential debates where questions were handed to audience members prior to the debate, if they didn’t like the question they l...
