Finished prepping the NESessity NES mainboard for the new front loader mechanism. I got lazy when I installed all the components on the NESessity board and maybe didn't clean the flux off as well as I should have. However, since I've gotten open the NES up, figured I'd do a proper 99% isopropyl alcohol bath and a good scrub. The board is looking great, now to wait for the cartridge slot to come in and get it buttoned up again.

Now is a good time for doing crime
Eons ago, in 2012, I had a weird experience.
My iPhone suddenly shut down.
When I restarted it, I found it was totally reset—clean, like a new device.
This was the early days of iOS, so I wasn’t too concerned until I went to connect it to my computer to restore it from a backup.
But when I flipped open the lid of my laptop, it too was mid-restart.
And then, suddenly, the screen went gray. It was being remotely wiped.

I'm at Union station in DC and I just watched some rando bike right through the open door into the station on a bike share bike and just keep biking through the station.
Like, okay, not great.
Then 20mins later I watched two cops (uscp, capitol police) on bikes bike through the door into the station and do the same thing. So I guess it's just a thing that people do here?

Democratic leaders were outspoken during the massive US military buildup in the Middle East,
⭐️decrying his unwillingness to engage with Congress and lack of long-term strategy for Iran.
🔸They noted that it was Trump, during his first term, who shredded Barack Obama’s nuclear agreement with Iran.
Once the US and Israeli military struck on Saturday, the sharpest voices accused the president of riding roughshod over the constitution.

Interesting and probably controversial observation for many by Andrew Ng,
" I’ve stopped writing code by hand. More controversially, I’ve long stopped reading generated code. I realize I’m in the minority here, but I feel like I can get built most of what I want without having to look directly at coding syntax, and I operate at a higher level of abstraction using coding agents to manipulate code for me."

Senator Chuck Schumer,
the New York Democrat and minority leader,
knew things were moving in his direction in the spending showdown on Wednesday afternoon when he got a surprise phone call in his Capitol office suite.
It was Donald Trump, not a frequent contact in these days of hyper-polarized politics.
“He says, ‘Chuck, I hate shutdowns. I don’t like shutdowns. We’ve got to stop them,’”
Mr. Schumer said in an interview as he recalled his conversation with Mr. T…

Since the death of Charlie Kirk, the founder of Turning Point USA,
