was at City Hall to support Supervisor Fielder's resolution for a publicly-owned green bank and happened to hear her introducing this as well. absolutely on target with the questions that needed to be asked 🎯
I couldn't be happier with my representation... the rest of that building, another story

S.F. supervisor calls for probe of mayor’s ‘eyebrow-raising’ $5.9M permitting deal
ackie Fielder called for hearing into contract signed, over staff objections, with connected OpenGov tech firm.

Jason Bennett sold his condo in #SanFrancisco #California and bought another in #Colombia, and mother was understandably sceptical.
He’s still there and quite happy living in

I was much happier not having to hear the name 'Bari Weiss' any more. Ugh.

It's tempting to do everything as fast as possible:
listen to podcasts on double speed,
work in email-free sprints,
or train at lung-bursting intensity in the gaps between your morning meditation and the school run.
But evidence is piling up that the last one might not be as beneficial as it seems

My Epson HX-20 is getting slightly happier as I replace more caps. All the 10uF are replaced, and most of the 47uF, and now the 100uF (C13); that one really seems to have helped; and it's stable down to ~5.2v and serial runs at ~5.5v (down from 6v). I've not done the 33uF since the ones I bought are out of spec, but hmm maybe worth it.
The serial DC-DC is terrible though - the TL497 Pin 14 Vcc is dropping to 3.8v when the serial is on; I think I'll slap a cap close to it.
