This graffiti recently turned up near where I live, and I'm wondering if anyone can read it, or at least identify the language. Its not Arabic, Hebrew or Cyrillic. The alphabet appears related to Latin.
Its possible that this is just an unusually ornate tag, but it consists of 4 words, and it looks like they are repeated A-B, B-A, which suggests that it has a meaning beyond just identity, possibly a political slogan?
Please boost for reach.
A mtg where we deliberated on shipping a defect. Product irrecoverably hangs when events A and B - which we do not deliberately _preclude_ from happening at the same time - happen at the same time. A is nearly always "on"; B occurs at a configurable interval: every 5s to 5hrs. For best results with A, B (which takes only 1 second) should happen as frequently as is convenient. Recovery == full reset.
We're going to ship this. They .. and any of our customers who accept th…

psi: Plant Photosystem I excitation energy transfer network (2020)
Weighted directed network of the light-harvesting Photosystem Ι (PSI) of the plant Pisum sativum. The nodes represent chromophores with different identities (i.e. chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, β-carotene and derivates, lutein, violaxanthin), while edges represent FRET transfer between chromophores. The link directionality connecting nodes in the PSI network depends on the energy levels of the connected chromophores. The…

Before it can be resolved at all, it seems to me, first must come repentance. Repentance, yes, for the sins of terrorism which have been perpetrated on both sides, but repentance first for the sin of Abraham.

Alle diejenigen, die gestern noch traurig darüber waren, dass die Linke zu Lasten der Grünen nicht in den Landtag gekommen sind, können andersrum froh darüber sein, damit einen Ministerpräsidenten Hagel verhindert zu haben.
Denn das haben sie.
Mit lediglich 0,5% Differenz wäre Hagel bereits Ministerpräsident, bevor die Linke überhaupt im Landtag gewesen wäre.
Ich denke, das wäre das größere Übel gewesen, auch wenn eine Linke dem Landtag

This is pretty much why I hate the two party system. You can talk to someone and they're CLEARLY a republican, and then they're like "and yes I'm a Democrat!"

"This is the heart of the tragedy. They are all one people, literally one family; cousins. The hatred, the contempt, and now the genocide, arise out of the claim by some to be uniquely their mutual god's chosen people, to be sole inheritors of their common patrimony.
This is the ultimate evidence of blasphemy.
By their fruits shall ye know them."

Chuck Schumer remains the worst of the Democratic Party. Beholden to special interests, refusing to retire despite relying on a political playbook from former generations, and doing his best to knee-cap progressives while hoping for "bipartisanship" from Rs.
Remember when Schumer endorsed Mamdani? Yeah, neither do I, because he fucking didn't. Even Jeffries (waiting until less than 2 weeks before the election) finally endorsed the D Mayoral candidate. Not Schumer, tho!
Remember when we created a bunch of gang laws to increase severity of criminal sentencing in the 90s? Biden was all-in on that stuff back then.
ICE is a pretty big gang. They work with other local gangs (police departments).
