What a bummer. This old cartoon is playing out right now:
Man, I'd rather rescue this little robot from Mars than Matt Damon. The little guy never pulled a crypto scam.

How cool would it be if a really powerful windstorm came along and blew all the dust off of the solar panels and revived this baby.
Not impossible but probably not very likely. It has occurred with other rovers...
I can not express adequately enough how disturbing it is to me that people like this are able to hold Federal office. The party is not the point, it is the stupidity.

The written word is so inadequate, it requires thought and care to come close to communicating what is actually meant.
Dictation software is less accurate than a Tesla in auto-drive.
So many now use it for texting and for posting here - leaving it to the reader to guess and 'fix' their mistakes. Pain in the ass, imho.

One can expect this kind of weather here at the end of January or February, but before Christmas is unexpected and unwelcome. Then again, Mamma Nature, she just don't ask...

I recently placed a purchase order on a vape accessory. (I had forgotten that some companies do this)
They have the item listed in stock, and when I order, and get a acknowledgement of order, that's the last I heard of it.
Oh, I get daily (annoying) love from these people, but no mention of my order status. It seems they're Waiting for enough orders to place a discountable wholesale order, this would happen with computer stuff, but they usually tell you up front. I placed this order on 12/1. and I won't mention their name, but their initials are CCV. Very disappointing.

They are the worst!
I ordered an item back in September. Same in stock bullshit as you were told. Never delivered and finally got them to put in a refund for my CC in December.
Still waiting for the money back on my card. That can also take up to a month as CC companies like to hold on to your money as long as the law allows them. Sweet deal all around.
Avoid them like the plague!

I'm still hoping we're on some version of the Star Trek timeline. If that's true, we're less than two years from "The Bell Riots".

The American government created internment camps for homeless people. Based on the bitching I hear about the homeless from people across the political spectrum, I could absolutely see things heading that way.
The good news is, after a major, bloody uprising in the homeless internment camps, popularly known as The Bell Riots, humanity began to change course eventually leading to the idyllic existence Federation citizens enjoy in Star Trek
Bell Riots
The Bell Riots were a pivotal series of events on Earth that took place in September 2024. Started in San Francisco's Sanctuary District A, they were named after protest leader Gabriel Bell. One of the most violent civil disturbances in all of American history, the riots and subsequent crackdown...
