At least some are trying to ask the hard questions about entrenched fossil fuel costs:If we're going to hold an inquiry into the life cycle of solar, why not coal and gas?
Australia's solar waste investigation raises an interesting question of consistency. Where is the inquiry into mandatory 100% recycling of fossil fuel waste streams?Michael Barnard (RenewEconomy)

Can't get #DireWolf to actually transmit the packet audio burst via my FT-991a. I have this config setting:

Any suggestions?

Yep. Unmuted and the volume is maxed out. I also tried unmuting and muting again to make sure.
By the way, WSJT-X works just fine with the same device.
Anyone know why #DireWolf is hellbent on using /dev/ttyS0 with hamlib? I have this in direwolf.conf, which should force it to use /dev/ttyUSB1:
PTT RIG 1035 /dev/ttyUSB1 38400But it refuses:
Dire Wolf version 1.7
Includes optional support for: gpsd hamlib cm108-ptt
Reading config file direwolf.conf
Audio device for both receive and transmit: plughw:0,0 (channel 0)
Channel 0: 1200 baud, AFSK 1200 & 2200 Hz, A+, 44100 sample rate.
Hamlib determined CAT control serial port rate of 38400.

I'm planning to have a small transceiver hooked more or less directly up to an antenna, with a Raspberry PI also involved, to have a full packet radio TNC setup outdoors. Any suggestions for a good transceiver for this use case? :3 #AmatuerRadio #HamRadio #PacketRadio

Trump finally apologizes for something - Yahoo News Canada
President Donald Trump has broken the habit of a lifetime and issued a rare apology, albeit not to Barack Obama and Michelle Obama, for reposting a meme of them on Truth Social, despite facing intense pressure to do so.Trump caused uproar on both sides of the aisle last week by recirculating a video depicting the 44th president and his first lady as apes.
He deleted the clip but later told reporters aboard Air Force One that there was no reason for him to apologize because, in his opinion, he had done nothing wrong.
“No, I didn’t make a mistake,” the president said. “I looked at the beginning of it. It was fine.”
Instead, the issue he did feel compelled to apologize over was his past endorsement of Oklahoma’s Republican Gov. Kevin Stitt after the official angered him by insisting on the bipartisan purity of the National Governors Association, an organization he chairs.
“When Kevin Stitt, the very mediocre (at best!) RINO Governor of Oklahoma, was losing his Election to a Democrat, primarily because he did a bad job, he called for my help. I Endorsed him, and he won,” Trump wrote on his social media platform late Wednesday.
“Sorry, my cherished Oklahoma, to have done that to you!”

Trump Sends Phishing-Style “System Alert” to Boost Donations - MeidasTouch News
Donald Trump’s campaign blasted out a late-night “Emergency Memo” claiming “external filters” were attempting to block communications from the president, warning supporters they must “manually sync” their accounts with a so-called “Secure Patriot Server” before the State of the Union.The email, sent under the banner “Team Trump – Emergency Memo,” included faux system language like “[SYNC REQUIRED] Account #28600” and declared, “Trump is floored. He can’t afford to lose another top MAGA Patriot during this year’s midterms.”
The urgent call to “SYNC MY ACCOUNT NOW >>>” does not lead to any technical fix or account setting. It routes directly to a donation page.

(No but seriously, I do have some 6"-10" pieces of "LMR400-like" coax bouncing around in my toolbox, despite never having any reasonable use of them.)

Do make sure to plant them at least 1/2λ apart, or they'll crowd out and grow too short. If you're lucky, they're usable on a higher band, but it's just not the same.
