Voyager is outside the heliosphere

But radios wave are not they pass through it it’s earth to Voyager path.

when i heard

“In the beginning, there was darkness. And the darkness was without form, and void.”

i knew what would happen, it exploded after it said Light...

Engineers don't know why the glitch cropped up in the first place

It was hacked, just like everything else.

I have the HP 12C calculator that I bought in 1983 sitting on my desk. I cannot make out the print on some of the keys, but it still works just fine.

Holy smokes! I have a have 15C that I haven't used in eons I am guessing the batteries have been in the unit for 25 years. I just fired it up and it still works. I checked the battery bay and there is no chemical deterioration....

EXCELLENT!!! thank you...

All collected data had come to a final end. Nothing was left to be collected.
But all collected data had yet to be completely correlated and put together in all possible
relationships.
A timeless interval was spent in doing that.

sounds like the NSA

I have replaced the batteries on my original HP 12C a few times over the years.

I bought a couple more HP 12Cs about 15 or 20 years ago because I really like the calculator and figured they would not be available much longer. The newer ones use a larger battery and feel lighter but are otherwise indistinguishable. I have one in a briefcase and the other in a drawer somewhere. Now I mostly use a 12C emulation app on my cell phone.

HP came out with a replacement for the 12C back in the 1980s, but no one bought it. The 12C has every function you could want in a financial calculator and once you get used to RPN it is much easier and faster to use than regular financial calculators.

That's gotta be a boring job these days.

Voyager isn't going to encounter another solid object for at least 300 years until it reaches the still theoretical Oort Cloud.

I really got into understanding my 15C, but let it slip after computers became affordable..

[Political Junkie Too]

The NASA Voyager Twitter account, which is run in the voice of the spacecraft, tweeted, "The team has declared me healthy, which is great, because I still have more interstellar exploring to do!"

In a related story, Twitter immediately labeled the Voyager 1 probe as "MAGA Russia disinformation" and shut down the account. Voyager has 14 days to file an appeal.

I love it. I’m literally laughing out loud here.

I have to tell people that my little suburb only allows 12 electrons per day through our tower, so my phone isn’t working well.

Theoretically....................

[FatherofFive]

Of course, the brutal reality is that Excel is the replacement for most of what we used calculators for.

That is of course true. If I’m adding a column of numbers I do it once in excel. Can always check the input. Have to do it 2 or 3 times with the calculator

Update:

NASA’s Voyager 1 spacecraft is talking nonsense. Its friends on Earth are worried
