The Newsom administration is suing five more California cities
— Calexico, Costa Mesa, Half Moon Bay, Ridgecrest and Turlock — for failing to complete state-mandated housing plans, known as the “housing element.”

Huntington Beach was the first city to face such a legal action, and it recently finalized its housing element plans following a court-order and massive fines.
The law, which has been in place since 1969, requires cities and counties every eight years to d…

Newsom continues crackdown on cities over housing plan requirements. 'No city gets a pass,' governor says
Gov. Gavin Newsom and California Atty. Gen. Rob Bonta filed legal actions this week against five small cities that they say are failing to meet benchmarks required for housing planning.

Weird #waves in #clouds over Bochum, Germany, at noon today - not sure how high and caused by what physics. There are #GravityWaves in the atmosphere, caused by air flowing over topography but usually invisible ... hmm.

Abstract: We present a comprehensive framework for gravity-driven, surfactant-laden thin films flowing over slippery substrates, elucidating how wall slip modifies the coupled hydrodynamics and interfacial transport. A long-wave model is formulated with a conservative bulk-surface mass balance and a Navier slip condition. The Orr-Sommerfeld eigenvalue problem governs the linear regime, while a weighted-residual model captures the nonlinear evolution over a range of equilibrium surfactant coverages, Marangoni strengths, and adsorption kinetics. The analysis predicts a non-monotonic variation of the critical Reynolds number with equilibrium coverage, exhibiting a maximum at intermediate $\Gamma_e$, and a slip-induced transition from single- to double-hump solitary structures with increasing Marangoni number, accompanied by attenuated capillary ripples. Under fast adsorption kinetics, the surface field homogenizes, preserving the mean film shape and flux while flattening both the surface concentration $\Gamma$ and the bulk inventory $\chi h\phi$. A spurious interfacial mass growth reported by Pascal et al.(PRF, 2019) and D'Alessio et al.(JFM, 2020) is resolved through a revised surface balance ensuring strict conservation. Wall slip thus emerges as a key control parameter, reducing viscous resistance and mitigating Marangoni back-stress. The slip parameter $\beta$ is a useful control knob for surfactant-laden films. Slip prevents fragile multi-hump bound states, promoting a single broad crest or an almost flat, uniform sheet by carefully bonding $\beta$ to wave selection, ripple damping, and the bulk-surface surfactant balance.

I did a test in Romania, #meshtastic vs #meshcore and here is the quick summary:
Over 250 Meshtastic nodes found, compared to 70 Meshcore nodes.
BUT
Meshtastic was basically dead, no one talked, or answered anything. I only got one message with the following - "test&…

Trump is dangerous twice over:
in what he does
and what he tells us to fear while doing it.
Factcheckers agreed he proved nothing.
Failing as evidence, his address succeeded as permission
– for federal intervention already under way in Fulton county.
In his speech, Trump assembled old intelligence, vulnerabilities and lies
into a conspiracy:
220 million US voter records in Chinese hands,
“extremely exposed” voting machines,

The president of Glendale Community College was pelted with a chorus of furious boos
after an AI tool tasked with reading graduating students’ names completely flunked the assignment.
As local outlet AZFamily reported, students and families at the Phoenix-area school were left disoriented when the names being read over the ceremony’s loudspeakers failed to match those of the students actually walking across the stage.
The names displayed on the ceremony’s jumbotron were also…
