One first step people should do to respond to this is start using the “report a speed trap” function in Apple Maps to report where ICE is operating. Make Apple party to the attempt to protect people. theverge.com/news/791533/googl

This summer, Mikhail Loshchinin set out for Russia on a motorcycle with German plates, reaching the border in Latvia on July 1.
At the Ubylinka checkpoint on the Russian side, he presented his Russian passport.
According to his mother, Olga, he didn’t use his Belgian passport because of the urgency of the trip and to avoid needing a visa.
Russian border guards examined Loshchinin’s phone and likely discovered his many contacts in Ukraine.
After holding him for several…

In melancholy, the spirits are carried away by an agitation, but a weak agitation that lacks power or violence, a sort of impotent upset that follows neither a particular path nor the aperta opercula [open ways], but traverses the cerebral matter constantly creating new pores. Yet the spirits do not wander far on the new paths they create, and their agitation dies down rapidly, as their strength is quickly spent and motion comes to a halt: ‘non longe perveniunt’ [they do not reach far]. A trouble of this nature, common to all delirium, does not have the power to produce on the surface of the body the violent movements or the cries to be observed in mania and frenzy. Melancholy never attains frenzy; it is a madness always at the limits of its own impotence. That paradox is explained by the secret alterations in the spirits. Ordinarily, they travel with the speed and instantaneous transparency of rays of light, but in melancholy they become weighed down with night, becoming ‘obscure, thick and dark’, and the images of things that they bring before consciousness are ‘in a shadow, or covered with darkness’. As a result they move more slowly, and are more like a dark, chemical vapour than pure light. This chemical vapour is acid in nature, rather than sulphurous or alcoholic, for in acid vapours the particles are mobile and incapable of repose, but their activity is weak and without consequence. When they are distilled, all that remains in the still is a kind of insipid phlegm. Acid vapours, therefore, are taken to have the same properties as melancholy, whereas alcoholic vapours, which are always ready to burst into flames, are more related to frenzy, and sulphurous vapours bring on mania, as they are agitated by continuous, violent movement. If the ‘formal reason and causes’ of melancholy were to be sought, it made sense to look for them in the vapours that rose up from the blood to the head, and which had degenerated into ‘an acetous or sharp distillation’. A cursory glance seems to indicate that a melancholy of spirits and a whole chemistry of humours lies behind Willis’ analyses, but in fact his guiding principle mostly reflects the immediate qualities of the melancholic illness: an impotent disorder, and the shadow that comes over the spirit with an acrid acidity that slowly corrodes the heart and the mind. The chemistry of acids is not an explanation of the symptoms, but a qualitative option: a whole phenomenology of melancholic experience.

Welp.
The toolchain is cursed but I have the Trion devkit talking FMC/APB at 75 MHz to a STM32H750. I can probably push further (maybe 100 MHz PCLK?), this isn't failing timing, but it's good enough for the purpose.

CAD model of the #tricycle subframe. The chain ring is very nearly as big as the front wheel (80 teeth!). It drives an epicyclic gearbox mounted in the nose of the vehicle, which also has a disc brake. The epicyclic will drive a secondary chain via a sprocket mounted to the left hand spoke flange, but this is not yet shown. There will be no ratchet on the secondary chain, so the disk brake on the…

A CAD visualisation as described in the body of the post. Most of the structure is coloured grey, to represent aluminium tubes. The cranks and pedals, and the tyre on the wheel, are coloured black. The epicyclic body is coloured red to represent a Rohloff, although for budgetary reasons it will probably end up being a Shimano Nexus 11.

Im using case_when() quite a lot, case_match() is new to me: #rstats

The world continues to dawdle politically in its response to the climate crisis
but clean energy is booming,
-- responsible for almost all new energy capacity and drawing double the investment of fossil fuels globally. The market has shifted.
Most starkly, though, Trump has become the planet’s foremost advocate of fossil fuels,
throwing the might of the US presidency into a rearguard battle to keep the world mired in the era of combusted carbon.
There is now no …

Senator Murphy:
It’s pretty wild that the corruption is so brazen, is so transparent.
Vought sent out this tweet yesterday saying, I’m canceling energy projects in the following states, and listed the states.
And every single one of them is a state represented by two Democratic senators.
And the one Democratic senator who voted for the Republican continuing resolution
—that senator’s state wasn’t on the list.
So, you know, it’s just there for everybody to s…
