It’s another Taco Tuesday and I have GSD in the cup. 2 French Presses today and this To-Do list should get a lots shorter. Today I talk about trying to smooth out my Starlink internet issues, plans to change out my 7-pin receiver on my truck and finishing up with a BBQ tip. I lead off with The Perfect Cup Question “In the past people were buried with the items they would need in the afterlife, what would you want to be buried with you so you could use it in the afterlife?” followed up by LOTS of History prepared by Pip over at Ductioncups.com SHOW THEM SOME LOVE………

LOTS of History
Prepared by Pip over at Ducktioncups.com If you like the history segment SHOW THEM SOME LOVE Website FB TikTok
Welcome to the after-Monday report & Happy Tuesday, humans.
Today in the wiki history, there’s a little bit.. no.. LOTS of history here..
- 1774 – Rhode Island becomes the first of Britain’s North American colonies to ban the importation of slaves
The Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations subsequently became a destination
for religious and political dissenters and social outcasts, earning it the moniker “Rogue’s Island”.
Rhode Island was the first colony to call for a Continental Congress, which it did in 1774,
and the first to renounce its allegiance to the British Crown, which it did on May 4, 1776
Pip’s notes – and May the 4th be with you, Rhode Island…

- 1881 – The USS Jeannette is crushed in an Arctic Ocean ice pack.
a naval exploration vessel which, commanded by George W. De Long,
undertook the Jeannette expedition of 1879–1881 to the Arctic.
After being trapped in the ice and drifting for almost two years,
the ship and her crew of 33 were released from the ice, then trapped again,
crushed and sunk some 300 nautical miles (560 km; 350 mi) north of the Siberian coast.
The entire crew survived the sinking, but eight died while sailing towards land in a small cutter.
The others reached Siberia, but 12 subsequently perished in the Lena Delta, including De Long.
Pip’s notes- now I may be one for comfort.. in Florida.. but why the heck would
you want to go further into a place that makes your face freeze?!
…anyway…

- 1966 – The United States Supreme Court rules in Miranda v. Arizona that the police must inform
suspects of their Fifth Amendment rights before questioning them (colloquially known as “Mirandizing”).

- 1983 – Pioneer 10 becomes the first man-made object to leave the central Solar System when
it passes beyond the orbit of Neptune.
Pip’s notes- this is not Vegor from Star Trek. Live long and Prosper.
Pip’s side notes- as a non-emotional being, did Spock turn his “live long and prosper”
upside down to ‘flick them off’…? (yes, it’s a Star Trek thing)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pioneer_10
- 1999 – BMW win the 24 Hours of Le Mans, with Toyota being a contention for the win until a puncture in the last hour relegated it to second, Toyota not participating in Le Mans again until 2012. The race was also remembered for the flipping incidents involving the Mercedes cars, the team withdrawing mid-race and Mercedes never entering Le Mans again
Pip’s notes- I’m more confused than a dude getting mixed signals on Prom night.
The Le Mans race just took place, yeah? Chevy put a NASCAR Camaro in the race (according to the social media posts) and Ford is putting the Mustang in the 2024 Le Mans, according to another post I scrolled by.
- 2018 – Volkswagen is fined one billion euros over the emissions scandal.
Pip’s notes- Pip has been waiting “the right time” to pull a diesel TDI from a junkyard. Freaking 40-60 mpg?!
