If the dates are correct, he was only 36 years old. I pray he would receive strength in the beyond to ascend.

I heard today that France recently recorded their hottest temperature ever, since records began.
@RickGaehl
What makes it even more strange is that we also break records every winter for cold, ice, and snow. The whole planet is out of order.

People try to explain the reason for bad weather in different ways. In the past, when people had more spiritual thoughts, they may have said it was a judgment from GOD. Today, people who are more materialistic do not like the reason given by their fathers, so they blame it on CO2. And the world governments prefer the latter reason, because they can tax it.

So, was God willing? How is your supply of medicine now?
Freedom Canceled?
On this day, 250 years ago, the United States of America broke free from Britain. No more would convict servants be shipped from Britain (mostly white men), across the ocean, to perform hard labor in the American colonies.
Britain began shipping them to #Australia instead.
America's Independence Day Parade, scheduled for downtown Washington, D.C. was canceled due to the extreme heat in the nation's capital.

Could you explain the use of ASCII art in the terminal forming a flower with five petals? What does that have to do with Alma Linux?
It resembles the astronomical "rose of Venus".
#Venus #rose #flower #ASCIIart
@philbaker1 Yes, I understand a five-petal flower is the logo for Alma, but I am wondering why. Why was that logo chosen to be shown as ASCII art in the terminal? What is the added value?
On my Linux Mint machine, there is no image dumped into the terminal when I open it.
Alma advertises that they are trusted by CERN. But should CERN be trusted by us? And their logo is also deliberately chosen, with meaning, showing their allegiance.
Those who have eyes to see, let them see.
Loud crashes of thunder can be heard here in #Arkansas. The power got knocked out. But I can still read on the notebook with battery power.
@SecondChanceLemon
Wow, that's so many boxes! You went from having no medicine, to an abundance. How long should that last you, a month?
God did not forsake you. He found a way for you to receive what you needed. Just in time.

The power just returned and so we have air conditioning again. The United States has struggled with power outages lately due to storms. It is not common for my house to lose power, but happens maybe two or three times a year. One report said a power pole broke. There was lightning and thunder. But God got us through it. I actually enjoyed the experience, like it was a camping trip.
Common problem with backup power systems: the battery needs to be replaced. This model by APC has a blaring buzzer with no option to turn it off. I unplugged it years ago and it sat under my desk unused. Is it possible to remove the buzzer and continue to use it as a power strip?
While our house was cut off from the electric grid because of a storm, I wanted a power strip, so I opened this up and looked inside.

How I made tea this morning with no connection to the electric grid....
It took much longer to make tea this way, using a wood stove to boil the water, but I thanked the Lord I was still able to enjoy it. I added mint from the garden during brewing, which made it especially flavorful.
If you do not have a camping wood stove, I recommend this useful method of cooking to you, for when there is no electricity.

@RueNahcMohr
Your idea is something I have considered, namely, connecting a bigger 12V battery and using the built-in inverter to convert 12V DC to 120V AC. But the #electronics built into this UPS might not be able to handle extended use and may overheat. I already have inverters designed for running bigger loads for an extended time, so I think it would be safer if I stuck with those. For now, I am using this old box as a power strip, extension cord, and surge protector only.
