I was recently gifted of a magnificent #TI57 programmable #calculator. The LED display is amazing and I love it 😍 However, I would like to have a little chat with the engineer who thought it was a good idea to use a red wire for the negative and a black wire for the positive connections of the 9V battery. 😤😠 I’m glad I first checked online. I could have destroyed it on the first attempt. In the battery pack the NiCd elements are leaky and much probably the boost converted is gone, too.

I felt compelled to print a warning for avoiding frying the #TI57 in the future. If a center negative DC barrel connector is evil, this is just devilish 😬

Cutting NWS will cost lives. The Jackson, KY office didn't have overnight forecasters for the storms that roll through last night. Overall, this meant the NWS was slower to respond to the storms in the area, so people got alerts/warnings later, which will lead to more injuries/deaths.

The video depicts a group of four characters, identified as "Lv.1 Cadets," sprinting across a desert landscape characterized by large, rock formations and a barren, sandy terrain. The cadets are wearing futuristic helmets and are seen running with urgency, kicking up dust as they move. The text overlay at the bottom of the frames reads, "The Lv.1 Cadets sprinting straight towards the hell bomb I just armed," indicating a sense of impending danger. As the cadets continue their run, the background shows large rock formations and a clear sky, with dust clouds visible, suggesting an explosion or disturbance in the distance. The cadets' determined expressions and forward-leaning postures emphasize their haste and the urgency of their mission. The video captures the cadets' relentless pursuit towards a significant threat, maintaining a consistent sense of urgency and danger throughout.

The image features a meme with a humorous take on the concept of "consensus." At the top, the text reads "THE MYTH OF 'CONSENSUAL'" with a small flag icon next to it. Below this, on the left side, there is a single figure labeled "Throwing a 500 Kilogram on the Pelican," depicted as a character in black and yellow armor with a cape. On the right side, there is a group of four identical figures, also in black and yellow armor, with the text "WAIT WAIT B3 WE'RE NOT IN YET." At the bottom, the text reads "ISN'T THERE SOMEBODY YOU FORGOT TO ASK?" The background is plain white, and the overall style is reminiscent of internet memes.

Way before my time, but I think if I were around back then, I'd have been caned often: for example, my school allows high heels but I often come to school in heels higher than allowed with my uniform and yet I can still run fast, so, no teacher would catch me anyway! But at least in detention I turn it into a study session, so then I'm not disgruntled.

The video showcases a serene beach scene, focusing on a sandy shore with numerous footprints leading towards the water. The foreground prominently features the footprints, which are imprinted in the darker sand, contrasting with the lighter sand nearby. The beach is bordered by calm blue water on the left, with gentle waves lapping at the shore. In the background, a line of trees and a distant pier can be seen, adding depth to the scene. The sky is clear and blue, indicating a sunny day. The overall atmosphere is tranquil, with no visible people in the immediate vicinity, emphasizing the quietness of the beach. The camera remains stationary throughout, capturing the footprints and the beach's natural beauty without any movement or change in perspective.

This is scary and highlights something that's painfully obvious in DC: smart people either don't want to work in this administration or are being turned away. But effective government - especially when crisis strikes - depends on having smart people around. washingtonpost.com/business/20…

I think of people like Wally Adeyemo, Shalanda Young, Rohit Chopra, Jigar Shah... these are intimidatingly smart people. You may not always agree on policy but their intellect and ability to simultaneously grasp the big picture and the minutiae of public policy are unparalleled.

:bear_love: Ello sweet and lovely Friendos :purple_heart_sparkle:

Here I am! I know, I'm late... I blame Arwen... I had my door open so she could reach me but apparently, she won't do that... I was so tired that the few hours I slept, I slept good... But when I woke up, I was greeted by smelly bits on the floor... And Arwen was very restless. So, I rushed Arwen outside. And she took her time. I needed to wee baldy too, so waiting for Arwen was rather hard... Then she got the meds and I started cleaning...

So it all took a little longer before I was able to head to the gym and all that...

Yesterday was a loooong day!! We went to the garage around noon. I had warned dad that a part of the highway was shut off and he needed to drive towards my place, and hit the other highway there. So, of course, he drove the way he always drove and... Had to drive the long way around because, heck, the highway was closed! 🤦🏼‍♂️ If only someone had said something... Ugh...

Im still no fan of the way how dad drives... And that didn't improve after last week... But, we got to the garage. And then... We had to wait for ages, as the man that dad had the appointment with, had an unscheduled appointment with folks that were making an outing of the garage visit... So.... We waited, a lot... I tried some of the cars, and found the keys in one of them. That... Should not happen! So, when the man *finally* had time for us, I did tell him that he had an insurance issue with the keys... And he was grateful for my telling him!

But, they got the car and it will be ready June 6th. Until then, they have an awesome loaner, that I was allowed to drive. Which was very cool, to me, at least. 😂

But, we didn't get home till past 17, when I usually go to bed around 15:30. Arwen did her things and then it was almost 17:30 when I was able to fall asleep.

My alarm woke me up at the usual time and then I found the surprises... Ugh... :parrotpoop: But Arwen felt worse than I did about it... So, hopefully, the room will be clean when I get back again... 🤞🏻

Let's get to the seated bike and do something good... :ablobcatangel: catch you in a bit, when I've managed to write my journal Toot... Which will include a part what I just shared here. 😉

Theres some revelations available from #Overzealots video on the Sanitisation of our historical icons!

youtube.com/watch?v=VjzzLuRnTM…

As much as you think the current situation is bad, look to what has been done to the icons before and how their value and message has been coerced in the service of the status quo and the class inequality and exploitation afforded by capitalism.

The more you explore and know, the more you see the same treatment of any idea or action towards a resolution of our worlds problems.

If we can understand and respond to this, perhaps there can be a groundswell of people against the current peverse system frog marching us off the edge of a disasterous systemic ideological climate catastrophe cliff!

The video features a small, light-colored kitten with distinct markings on its face and ears, set against a plain white background. Initially, the kitten is seen in a small, blurry image, gradually becoming clearer as the video progresses. The kitten's eyes are wide and expressive, and it appears to be looking directly at the camera. As the video continues, the word "hello!" appears in a simple, sans-serif font above the kitten, with a yellow hand emoji waving next to it, adding a friendly and welcoming touch. The kitten's paw is also animated to wave, enhancing the greeting. The video concludes with a bright, abstract explosion of yellow and orange hues, creating a dynamic and cheerful end.

Das Bild zeigt eine Person, die auf einer Bühne steht und ein glänzendes, halbärmelloses Kleid trägt, das mit kleinen, funkelnden Punkten verziert ist. Das Kleid hat einen hohen Ausschnitt und die Person trägt eine weiße Armbeuge. Sie hat eine kahlköpfige Frisur und trägt eine auffällige Kopfbedeckung mit Perlen oder Edelsteinen. Ihre Hände sind vor ihrem Körper gefaltet, und sie trägt eine Mikrofonanlage am Kinn. Im Hintergrund sind verschwommene Silhouetten von Personen und eine beleuchtete Kulisse zu sehen. Am unteren Bildrand befindet sich ein Textfeld mit der Aufschrift "Malta 3 of 37 countries" und der maltesischen Flagge.
