I didn't come to Meshtastic with a plan.I bought a cheap purple device off Etsy for about fifty-five dollars because I'd heard the word a few times and vaguely understood it meant LoRa mesh messaging. I wasn't a prepper. I'm not a ham. I didn't have a scenario in mind. The buy-in was low enough that curiosity won.I live on the 8th floor in Arlington Heights, with windows facing southeast. From that height, there's a clear line of sight over a golf course and across low-rise terrain toward the Gaylord MGM. That's not a metaphor or a thought experiment. It's just geography. If you're going to put a radio somewhere, elevation and openness matter.So I plugged it in and turned it on.At first, it behaved like a gadget. I paired it with my phone. Sent a few test messages. Watched nodes appear and disappear. It worked, which was reassuring, but nothing about it felt consequential. Traffic was sparse. Most activity looked like people checking in, not routing through.I left it on.That turned out to matter more than anything I did deliberately.Over time, it became clear that Meshtastic doesn't reward interaction. It rewards presence. Nodes that come and go don't contribute much beyond their own visibility. Nodes that stay up quietly start to matter in ways that aren't obvious from the app.Eventually, I changed the device role from node to router. Not out of altruism, but because the device was stationary, wall-powered, and well-placed. Letting it sleep made no sense. A sleeping radio with good placement is just wasted capacity.That's where the friction started.Router mode changes how the device behaves. Power management becomes aggressive. Bluetooth access becomes opportunistic instead of persistent. From the phone's perspective, it feels unreliable. From the network's perspective, it's doing exactly what it should.There was a stretch where Bluetooth access felt broken. It wasn't. The control plane was sleeping while the radio stayed active. Once I connected over USB and adjusted the settings with that in mind, the behavior made sense. Deep sleep off. Bluetooth given more patience. The display left on, because power wasn't scarce.Once that was done, the device became boring.And boring is the goal.Around the same time, the local Arlington / MeshDC area started showing more consistent LongFast traffic. More ACKs. More multi-hop messages. Nodes sticking around instead of flickering in and out. Not because of anything I personally changed, but because more devices were staying online, placed well, and allowed to just exist.I chose the handle ABRA. Originally short for Abraham. That felt too personal. Now it's Abracadabra, which fits better. I connected the node to MQTT so it appears on the global map, which is still quietly astonishing. A little purple radio in a window, visible via the modern web, routing messages it doesn't need to read.Most of the coordination, discussion, and culture happens elsewhere anyway. Discord. Reddit. The meta layer. The mesh itself just moves packets.What I learned wasn't radio theory or emergency planning. It was simpler.Meshtastic works best when you stop treating nodes like personal devices and start treating them like infrastructure. Infrastructure doesn't demand attention. It needs uptime, placement, and restraint.I didn't set out to build anything. I just left something on in a good place.Everything else followed.
Lee Strobel is an American Christian author, apologist, speaker, and former investigative journalist who transitioned from an atheist investigative journalist into a leading Christian apologist and author, blending rigorous investigative methods with his faith journey to influence millions worldwide. Born in Arlington Heights, Illinois, Strobel earned a Bachelor of Journalism degree from the University of Missouri and a Master of Studies in Law degree from Yale Law School; growing up in a nominally Christian but non-practicing household, he became a committed atheist who viewed Christianity as irrational until 1979, when his wife Leslie's conversion prompted a nearly two-year personal investigation into the historical evidence for Jesus. On November 8, 1981, at age 29, Strobel became a Christian, an experience he describes as “falling in love with Jesus” while interviewing scholars and examining ancient manuscripts. A 14-year veteran of The Chicago Tribune where he served as award-winning legal editor, Strobel earned Illinois' highest honors for investigative reporting and public service journalism from United Press International before pivoting full-time to Christian apologetics. He is a New York Times bestselling author of over 40 books and curricula—including the seminal The Case for Christ (1998), which has sold over 5 million copies—with total sales exceeding 18 million copies translated into 40 languages. His “Case for…” series, along with titles like The Case for Faith, The Case for Miracles, and The Case for Heaven, applies courtroom-style evidence to core doctrines. Strobel, currently serves as Founding Director of the Lee Strobel Center for Evangelism and Applied Apologetics at Colorado Christian University. He is described by The Washington Post as “one of the evangelical community's most popular apologists,” he has received multiple Gold Medallion Awards and the 2023 Pillar Award for History from the Museum of the Bible. Married to Leslie since 1973, Strobel is father to daughter Alison (novelist and homeschooling expert) and son Kyle (professor of spiritual theology at Biola University's Talbot School of Theology), and he continues to equip believers worldwide with intellectual tools to defend and share their faith effectively.

The Bears are making threats again — this time saying they're considering a move to Northwest Indiana after they hit a wall trying to reduce their property tax burden in Arlington Heights. It's just another chapter in the ongoing back-and-forth, but with other Chicago teams vying for new stadium projects, we're wondering: Is there a better way to do this? Host Jacoby Cochran talks with the Chicago Architecture Center's Michael Wood about a new possible way forward in municipal stadium development.

The Packers head into a pivotal Week 16 matchup against Chicago with an injury report that reads like a horror novel. Josh Jacobs, Evan Williams, and Zach Tom haven't practiced all week, while Jaden Reed missed Wednesday for a personal matter that has everyone holding their breath. The good news? Christian Watson and Devonte Wicks upgraded to limited participation, and Jordan Love is full go. On the Bears side, the situation is equally brutal. Rome Odunze and Luther Burden haven't practiced, DeAndre Swift was added with a groin injury, and Tremaine Edmunds is racing the clock to return from IR. This game may come down to whoever has more bodies standing Saturday. The episode dives deep into Alex Kemp's officiating crew, which ranks second in offensive holding calls and has favorites going an absurd 27-3 straight up since 2024. Special teams penalties are also a concern with this crew ranking fourth in that category. The highlight of the show is an extended breakdown of the Chicago Bears' stadium catastrophe. After years of failed negotiations, Governor Pritzker told the Bears their project won't be a priority in 2026. Chicago doesn't want them. Arlington Heights is bleeding them dry on taxes. Now they're eyeing Northwest Indiana, where a newly created sports commission is rolling out the red carpet. The contrast is staggering: Illinois demands $500 million in old debts while Indiana offers $500 million in building funds. Welcome to Gary, Caleb Williams.

Notes: https://thelawschoolofamerica.com/ConstitutionLaw2025.htmlUnderstanding Equal Protection: A Roadmap for Law StudentsThis conversation delves into the complexities of the Equal Protection Clause, exploring its historical context, the three tiers of scrutiny, and the nuances of applying these standards in legal analysis. The discussion emphasizes the importance of categorization, the rigorous demands of strict scrutiny, and the implications of remedial racial classifications. It also addresses the challenges posed by facially neutral laws and the frameworks used to prove discriminatory intent, providing a comprehensive roadmap for law students preparing for exams.Navigating the complexities of constitutional law can be daunting, especially when it comes to the Equal Protection Clause. This blog post aims to demystify the intricate frameworks and standards that govern equal protection analysis, providing law students with a structured approach to mastering this critical area of law.The Three-Tiered Framework: At the heart of equal protection analysis is the three-tiered framework of judicial review. This framework helps determine the level of scrutiny a court will apply to a law that classifies individuals based on characteristics such as race, gender, or age. Understanding these tiers—strict scrutiny, intermediate scrutiny, and rational basis review—is essential for any law student.Strict Scrutiny: The most rigorous standard, strict scrutiny, applies to laws that classify individuals based on race or national origin. Under this standard, the government must prove that the classification serves a compelling interest and is narrowly tailored to achieve that interest. This level of scrutiny is often described as "strict in theory, fatal in fact," as laws rarely survive this analysis.Intermediate Scrutiny: Intermediate scrutiny is applied to classifications based on gender and legitimacy. The government must demonstrate that the classification serves an important governmental interest and is substantially related to achieving that interest. This standard is less demanding than strict scrutiny but more rigorous than rational basis review.Rational Basis Review: The default standard, rational basis review, applies to all other classifications. Under this standard, the government only needs to show that the classification is rationally related to a legitimate state interest. Laws are almost universally upheld under this deferential standard, except in cases where animus is the sole motivation.Mastering the equal protection framework is crucial for law students preparing for exams or the bar. By understanding the nuances of each tier and applying them to hypothetical scenarios, students can confidently tackle any equal protection question. As the legal landscape evolves, particularly with the rise of algorithmic decision-making, staying informed and adaptable is key to success.Subscribe Now: Stay updated with the latest insights and analysis on constitutional law by subscribing.TakeawaysThe Equal Protection Clause demands structural precision.Identifying classification is the first step in analysis.Strict scrutiny is the most rigorous standard applied to suspect classes.Intermediate scrutiny applies to gender and illegitimacy classifications.Rational basis review is the default standard for most classifications.Remedial racial classifications must show specific past discrimination.Rational basis with bite addresses laws motivated by animus.Facially neutral laws require proof of discriminatory intent to challenge.The Arlington Heights framework helps prove intent through circumstantial evidence.The McDonnell Douglas framework is used for individual discrimination claims.Equal Protection, 14th Amendment, Scrutiny Standards, Discrimination, Law School, Constitutional Law, Affirmative Action, Judicial Review, Legal Framework, Civil Rights
