Folks thinking of making up a fresh excuse not to #vote in 2026 would do well to digest this article.
Sure, it's "complicated." But if one can pass a driver's license exam or similar piece of cake it's no problem to understand. Special pleading won't cover apathy or indolence.
Cliff Note version: start at "In 2023, it was Republicans controlling 26 delegations, Democrats 22 and two split delegations."
(Not voting is a slap in the face to those who've been disenfranchised, while actually voting is a way of being a proxy for those victims)

This really shouldn't as any surprise, as the US govt has declared war on trans people and their rights, but it is worth nothing that these are the same people who opposed Red Flag laws to stop known abusers from purchasing firearms.

I’m not eating much so my weight is dropping. I’m still working out and, mostly, eating healthy stuff, so I’m not particularly concerned about muscle loss.
I will say there are much better ways to diet than an ugly break-up in the hottest time of the year.
Pare che la statua del leone alato a Venezia sia cinese, potrebbe averla portata Marco Polo. Abbiamo chiuso il cerchio.
Iconic winged lion statue in Venice may actually be from China's Tang dynasty, study finds
A new study of the trace amounts of lead in Venice's famous winged lion statue suggests that its metal originated in China — and Marco Polo's family may have brought it over.Kristina Killgrove (Live Science)
Tips for Homebrewing Inductors
How hard can it be to create your own inductors? Get a wire. Coil it up. Right? Well, the devil is definitely in the details, and [Nick] wants to share his ten tips for building “the perfect” inductor. We don’t know about perfect, but we do think he brings up some very good points. Check out his video below.
If you are winding wire around your finger (or, as it appears in the video, a fork) or you are using a beefy ferrite core, you’ll find something interesting in the video.
Of course, the issue with inductors is that wires aren’t perfect, nor are core materials. Factors like this lead to inefficiency and loss, sometimes in a frequency-dependent way.
It looks like [Nick] is building a large switching power supply, so the subject inductor is a handful. He demonstrates some useful computational tools for analyzing data about cores, for example.
We learned a lot watching the tricks, but we were more interested in the inductor’s construction. We have to admit that the computed inductance of the coil matched quite closely to the measured value.
Need a variable inductor? No problem. Before ferrite cores, good coils were a lot harder to wind.

1. Decided it might be an idea to think about updating the campervan.
2. Went to local dealer just looking. Absolutely no intention of buying one. Really, none at all.
3. Sold! And we have history, every time we go 'just looking' we end up buying.

the trump family #crypto grift (#WorldLibertyFinancial, token #WLFI) just froze the account of #JustinSun, the single biggest backer of the entire grift, after Justin transferred millions of dollars “worth” of WLFI tokens to #Binance (a large crypto exchange where he was probably going to sell them).
impossible to say for sure why this happened but occam’s razor suggests the WLFI team is desperately trying to keep the price from continuing to crash (it’s down ~45% from when it became tradable on Monday) so they intervened to prevent Justin from selling.
there’s not a small amount of irony in the fact that the trump kids said they founded WLFI as a “decentralized” platform to “prevent debanking”.
maybe also worth noting that Justin has publicly claimed he has not sold and will never sell his WLFI tokens... but this being the world’s most infamous chinese crypto grifter literally zero people in the cryptoverse believe that.
