I've noticed how people who are 'left' in their politics are happy to identify themselves that way. People on the 'right', however, seldom identify themselves that way, as it tends to reflect poorly on them - 'right' connotes selfish, bigoted, greedy, mean, cold, ignorant, religious, pragmatic rather than principled... I propose we adopt new terms for the political spectrum rather than 'left'<->'right', namely 'noble'<->'ign…

To some extent, Mohamed Hussein knew he was preparing to enter the lion’s den.
But he made the decision to attend the Republican Party of Texas Convention
to confirm for himself that he had a place in the GOP,
even as members of the party have railed for months about the urgency of ending Sharia Law and the so-called “Islamification” of Texas.
What he found was a party that didn’t want him.
He arrived with hope but left in tears after being told explicitly that …

Joey no longer walks Earth (and Dee Dee and Johnny are no longer with us either), but the unreal music he and they left behind is immortal, and it will fucking blast and rip forever. It still blows my mind I was briefly on Earth at the same time as this man, this legend, Jeffrey Hyman.

Propaganda of the deed generally does the opposite of what it's supposed to do: it alienates rather than activates, destroying the movement it comes from. Until it doesn't. Until it actually sparks a revolution.
But there is a prerequisite for a successful revolution. That is an alternative system to pivot into as the old one collapses. That alternative is *far more dangerous* than any one-off action, up to and including literally killing a king or an emperor.
People will eventually rise up. That's just a matter of time. The question is what's left after everything gets burned down. That's a far more important question than, "is it happening?" It's happening (sometimes slowly, sometimes quickly), what's next?
Hierarchy manifests complexity beyond its ability to manage. We're seeing that now, we will see it more. Distributed authority is more stable. Build a distributed society within the burned out warehouse of the hierarchical one.

Although Volkswagen was the first German car manufacturer to release bidirectional charging functionality in their vehicles, they are now behind BMW, Mercedes and Ford (whose EVs use VW technology) in terms of announcing an actual charger and tariff bundle.

An electric vehicle is plugged into a charging station against a wooden backdrop. Colorful lines suggest energy transfer. Text promotes a new energy transition initiative from Elli, mentioning V2G technology coming soon.
A white Volkswagen ID.4 electric vehicle is prominently displayed against a purple background. Smaller illustrations of various electric cars are scattered around, with the text "Electric vehicles based on the MEB platform" above.

Both are the same nominal trace/space, both are skew matched by the time you get to the vertical "home run" area heading towards the connector.
But TDR of the first one wasn't that great. Let's see if the second one is any better when the simulation finishes...

BGA fanout of a diffpair coming off a pair of vertically stacked BGA lands so the trace running to the upper one is longer than the lower until a bunch of meanders straighten them back out
Alternate layout with the track coming left from the balls and tightly coupled the whole way but taking a bit more space and needing much less meanders

My stickers arrived for AccessU.
See you next month?

Holding two packs of 3½ × 2½ inch stickers — a dark gray field with five light stripes going from the upper-left to bottom-right corner: green, blue, gray, yellow, and red; within each stripe is a word: Perceivable, Operable, Understandable, Robust, F*** Overlays. The second set of stickers has the word ‘Fuck’ spelled out.

The nice thing when reading old #books is, you sometimes find things the owners left in them.
Today I found a very thin chocolate wrapping. It was from "Victor Schmidt & Söhne" (Victor Schmidt & Sons). A sweets company founded ~1850 in Vienna. The wrapping may be waiting for ~120-130yrs in the book (because the book is that old) and it told me something about the previo…

It's bad enough that normies do it, but it's awful when a cybersecurity company does.

This is the kind of unity we need to see among left-of-center candidates—everyone not on the billionaires' team. Like Saikat, I'll support Connie in the general election. I won't hide my disagreements with her, but fortunately most of them are much less relevant to federal office.

All assembled, new GPU and fans in.
As usual 5 minute POST times, one of the things I like least about server hardware. Plus actual hypervisor boot on top of that.
The GPU i swapped was a dual slot but lived in the left most slot on the mobo so i have an empty back panel port that I can eventually put a fan card in to try and suck more heat out.
The BMC does not like my 80mm fans, i need to figure out how to set the RPM thresholds so it doesn't think they're failed…

Vote Left Transfer Left.
Having a cup of tea and a chat together to see how we can continue collaboration for the Galway West By-election like we did on Catherine Connolly's presidential election.
The momentum built during Catherine's campaign will live on. We must keep this as a left seat. And with a Vote Left Transfer Left campaign, we think that can be a reality.

6 candidates from the Galway West by-election sitting down at a table together. From left to right, Mark Lohan (SF), Míde Níc Fhionnlaoich (SocDems), Niall Murphy (Greens), Denman Rooke (PBP), Sheila Garrity (Ind), Helen Ogbu (Lab).

Mailbag: Has left tackle been a concern? dallascowboys.com/news/mailbag

Days before Trump left office in 2021, the State Department broke ground on an $850 million construction project at its aging embassy in New Delhi.
By last fall, alongside work on smaller buildings, crews had dug a 200-foot-long pit for the project’s centerpiece:
a sleek edifice of glass and stone that was supposed to make the biggest U.S. mission in South Asia more “secure and resilient.”
In recent months, without public announcement, the U.S. government canceled that buil…

Emma Raducanu returned to Andy Murray Arena for her second match in five hours with lingering doubts about her physical condition after slipping on the slick grass earlier in the day and hurting her left thigh.
By the time she had launched herself into consecutive backhand and forehand down-the-line winners to snatch an early break, that concern had dissipated.
What followed was one of her very best matches as she dismantled the talented 18-year-old Iva Jovic 6-2, 6-2 in front of…
