I just gotta know who are the 7% of NYC voters motivated enough to get out and vote in an otherwise odd year, but so low education or so delusional they bothered to cast a vote for Silwa.

I need a 5,000 word profile on one of them, stat.

So apparently NYC got a Democratic mayor over dick Cheney's dead body.

I think most of good luck in life is recognizing the good thing and affirmatively grabbing it before it passes you by.

Still kind of wild that someone else had the vehicle powerful enough to tow the float, showed up that night, saw the "art"... and just put the float on the hitch and drove it in the parade... I would have taken one look at what I'd be hauling and just say "absolutely the fuck not."

Contact the Governor | Governor of California You can contact the Governor a few different ways. The best way is through his online form.

A reminder that if you think Governor Newsom's stance on trans youth in sports is pathetic, you can let him know right here!

Takes two minutes. Feels cathartic to remind him he'll never be president if he can't grow a spine.

Does literally anything you put effort into help win the senate?

Quit trying to score points so damn hard, it's thirsty.

In light of today's antisemitism, your periodic reminder that it used to be US Government policy to shoot nazis on sight.

We can bring it back. A better tomorrow is possible.

Oh, like other user-installed tools make up their own pseudo-handles and you *do* need to proxy those thru that IPC channel, or even--gulp--into win32 function calls like DuplicateHandle()?

Are there valid non-pseudo handles < 0?

I'm surprised in this patch they went to the trouble of determining the least "known" pseudo-handle and checking a tight range with a long explanatory comment. Still feels...hacky?

As a bugfix, I'd probably bolt in a blunt negative check and call it a day.

Oh hell yes, ordered.

Yea I was thinking: Trump overperformed in '24 with young men who weren't politically aware thru 2016--2020.

"I was gassed by republicans as a child at the Halloween parade", tho, is the kind of political experience that you'll remember when you turn 18.

Hebrew calligraphy in dark green stretches in lines across the image. Negative space makes room for a simple representation of an inflatable frog costume with a blue bandana. That shape consists of the English translation of the Hebrew, in a lighter green, and in much smaller text. -- Famously, the Egyptian tyrant causes Egypt to be overrun with frogs because he refuses to free the Hebrew people, but there are additional details that make this a fun one to ponder. For one, the Hebrew says "the frog came up" - ONE frog - even though the rest of the time it says "frogs." So there are a few explanations rabbis have come up with to explain this. One is that a single frog multiplied to create swarms. A more creative explanation is that there was a singular giant frog who traveled and brought destruction. Jewish social media was sharing videos of the Portland Frog protester with the caption, "One Big Frog! One Big Frog!" Of course the frog protesters did multiply, and many were seen in crowds all over the world on "No Kings" Day. This calligraphic work takes the verses addressing the frog plague and combines them to form a simple rendering of the Portland Frog protester. The frog figure itself is made up of the English translations of the Hebrew around it. At the bottom left my signature is in the shape of a lily pad.

"Tzefardea Tzedek" (Frog of Righteousness)

As soon as the Portland Frog became a meme, Jewish social media blew up with jokes about the 2nd Passover plague - tzefarde'a (frogs) - and the Rabbinical commentary around it. I knew I had to make a calligraphy piece encompassing all of it. (more in alt.)

I mean, I would also gladly pay money to watch the fuck out of Empire Strikes Back on an actual movie screen for nostalgic enjoyment.

Had some time last night and I wrote up a small analysis of how a fairly new comparator IC (TLV1871) is super handy for interfacing audio-rate analog signals with digital logic.

Hmmm. I actually tried this on a regular corded drill but the shank might fit in the dremel too...

Is that something you can buy in the hardware store? I don't exactly have a Sigma Aldrich account...

I'm also trying for a nicely-defined small diameter hole, with sharp edges.

(maybe I need to find a kW fiber laser...)

If you wanted to drill a small hole in a ceramic DIP IC, how would you do it?

Both a regular 1mm drill bit and a diamond-dusted HSS bit have basically had almost no effect...

It wasn't clear to me whether they'll just hit Oakland (or Berkeley, or...) instead of SF proper?

Or whether the cancelation referred to a (theorized but as-yet unimplemented) national guard deployment, but ICE raids would continue as planned?

I think we should start chanting "ICE can't read" at them. Make them deny their illiteracy--if they can.

The Overton window will continue to slide on these absolute dumbfuck weirdo goons.

SFILEN San Francisco Immigrant Legal & Education Network

If you live in San Francisco, today is a good day to familiarize yourself with the San Francisco Rapid Response Network, which has a 24-hour hotline for reporting ICE raids, actually verifies those raid reports, and does attorney activation: sfilen.org/resources/sf...

Deliberately hoping your opposition will put you under siege, and choosing a location that gives them an overwhelming advantage in accomplishing that goal... Is a bold strategy, Cotton.

In the event of an encounter with immigration agents in the East Bay, make sure you and your family know your rights. (1/2)

Please be kind, everyone. There is not enough kindness out there.

Even that OT point is only for "non-exempt" - hourly - employees.

If you're salaried ("exempt"), there's no OT. An employer can assign salaried workers work that may require > 40 hrs/wk without specific overtime compensation.

There is a min salary to be exempt but it's less than you'd think.

Every comment in the reddit post about this is person after person all describing what a positive influence he was.

Testiment to him being an absolute mensch.

Genuinely maybe the most-positive streamer online and a generational talent.

I must have watched a hundred hours of his videos or more this year learning chess.

I'm not usually broken up about a famous person passing but this one hits. Absolute theft for us to lose him at 29.

Just to be clear, are we all rooting for Team Heist or Team Louvre?

This Louvre heist story is absolute movie plot shit, completely wild:
