I never posted another "garage door fix" post after this one because we ended up getting a new garage door opener when the old one started failing even more and was beyond repair and also my partner was fed up with my hacks.

'Google for DNA' enables rapid full-text searches of vast genetic archives
Rare hereditary diseases can be identified in patients and specific mutations in tumor cells detected—DNA sequencing revolutionized biomedical research decades ago. In recent years, new sequencing methods (next-generation sequencing) in particular have resulted in numerous scientific breakthroughs. In 2020/2021, for example, they enabled the rapid decoding and global monitoring of the SARS-CoV-2 genome.

Donald Trump followed through on his threats to sue the BBC over its editing of his remarks on Jan. 6, 2021, for a documentary.
The following can be attributed to Seth Stern, director of advocacy at Freedom of the Press Foundation (FPF):
“If any ordinary person filed as many frivolous multibillion-dollar lawsuits as Donald Trump, they’d be sanctioned and placed on a restricted filers list.
By my count, Trump has demanded at least $65 billion in damages from media outlets i…

Trump’s BBC lawsuit is nonsense, like his others
His frivolous damages theory concedes that Trump views the presidency as a for-profit venture

I love Deerhoof’s Actually, You Can not just as a great, fun album but as a time capsule from an optimistic moment. In late 2021, we seemed to be emerging from the shadows of Trump and Covid-19—who’d have thought the Four Seasons presser and the vaccines, respectively, didn't end them? The music bottles up joyful, radical imaginings of a better world that were in the air since the George Floyd rebellion, not yet extinguished by the reactionary “crime” panic to come.
