The first paragraphs of this article are big news (I think?? IANAL): the FBI tried to shut MN out of the investigation of ICE’s murder of Renee Good, which almost certainly is the start of a cover-up. Minnesota initially threw up its hands and said “well that sucks.”
Today we learn that Minnesota and Hennepin County are still gathering evidence themselves, apparently independently of the FBI. My hope is that this is in pursuit of state charges, in defiance of the Trump-controlled FBI.

Claude is absolutely "king" of AI at the moment, i think however Gemini 3 Flash is good enough for most people and a lot cheaper. I have the feeling ChatGPT will lose this race (just guessing).

SpaceX filed a request with the FCC on Friday seeking approval to put a constellation of 1 million data centersatellites into orbit.
While the FCC is unlikely to approve a network that expansive, SpaceX’s strategy has been to request approval for unrealistically large numbers of satellites as a starting point for negotiations.
The filing proposes establishing a network of solar-powered data centers in low Earth orbit that communicate with one another via lasers. The filling speak…

The mechanics sorted out filling the adblue tank.
The warnings have stopped beeping and the 10 l bottle that was in the back is gone, so presumably I can trust it's in the tank now.
Sounds like much of what I have paid for was for them doing what I did: Looking all around the car for an ad-blue tank hole and taking things apart trying to find it.
But none of that is the correct solution, which is to put it up on the ramp and clamber underneath to find the tank which has some sort of lowering mechanism, to then lower it and fill it and raise it again.
Not a job for me then. Next time it'll maybe be cheaper coz of them knowing what to do now and not spending half a day trying to figure it out.
Apparently there is a second emissions reduction mechanism which doesn't take a wattery bottle of urea, but instead needs a pouch of oily tar stuff.
This is more likely to empty and need replacing next, rather than the piss bottle.
And even for normal cars that haven't been screwed up for wheelchair access this is a mechanics job anyway. And the garage will have to order in the tar pouch especially.
Back in the 90s, my first car cost about 200 quid. Today I paid 200 quid to get someone to fill it up with purified piss for emissions reduction. Oh how things change. 😆
