Just as I suspected, #Israel tried to song-wash their #genocide in #palestine in #Eurovision
They should not be in it in the first place, as they are not in #europe, but do try to elevate their toxic culture, even as they bomb and starve children is right up there in the ranks of ****** and *********.

Hot damn, my touch-typing is HYPER inaccurate, especially when transcribing text.
I think it's too late in my life to actually build this skill. 🙁
@bjb I just worry that my habits are too ingrained.
When I tell you I'm a fast typist I mean it. Like, really fast.
So what I'm worried about is that I'll get frustrated with not typing quickly enough and just throw my computer into a dumpster.
I should try though.
The 100+ wpm was calculated as the actual wpm minus some value for each mistake. And it counted mistakes. So you could choose to work more on speed, or more on accuracy. Eventually, both improve. Seems in your case you already have speed.

The image depicts a close-up illustration of two hands engaged in an exchange. The hand on the right is holding a string attached to a decorative ornament, which features a red, spiral design resembling a candy cane, and a white, round element with a face-like appearance. The hand on the left is reaching out, seemingly to receive the ornament. The background is a plain, light green color, providing a neutral backdrop that highlights the hands and the ornament. The illustration style is simple and cartoonish, with soft colors and clean lines.

The Lost 256 KB Japanese ROM for the MacIntosh Plus Has Been Found
The Apple MacIntosh Plus was one of the most long-lived Apple computers and saw three revisions of its 128 kB-sized ROMs during its life time, at least officially. There’s a fourth ROM, sized 256 kB, that merges the Western ROMs with Japanese fonts. This would save a user of a Western MacIntosh Plus precious start-up time & RAM when starting software using these fonts. Unfortunately, this mythical ROM existed mostly as a kind of myth, until [Pierre Dandumont] uncovered one (machine-translated, French original).
Since this particular ROM was rumored to exist somewhere in the Japanese market, [Pierre] went hunting for Japanese MacIntosh Plus mainboards, hoping to find a board with this ROM. After finally getting lucky, the next task was to dump the two 128 kB EPROMs. An interesting sidenote here is that the MacIntosh Plus’ two ROM sockets use the typical programming voltage pin (Vpp) as an extra address line, enabling 256 kB of capacity across the two sockets.
This detail probably is why this special ROM wasn’t verified before, as people tried to dump them without using that extra address line, i.e. as a typical 27C512 64 kB EPROM instead of this proprietary pinout, which would have resulted in the same 64 kB dump as from a standard ROM. Thanks to [Doc TB]’s help and his UCA device it was possible to dump the whole image, with the images available for download.
Using this ROM image was the next interesting part, as [Pierre] initially didn’t have a system to test it with, and emulators assume the 128 kB ROM format. Fortunately these are all problems that can be solved, allowing the ROM images to be validated on real hardware as well as a modified MAME build. We were informed by [Pierre] that MAME releases will soon be getting support for this ROM as well.

The House bill to cut taxes on the rich includes a rider that would allow arbitrary removal of any organization's tax exemption. I hope the Democrats have the courage to filibuster the whole thing.

Obviously this is a terrible idea, but I do sometimes wonder if folks need a taste of their own medicine to understand why people are rejecting it.

in reply to kali • • •The image displays a webpage from Baker Hughes, focusing on the "Rig Count" section. The page features a table titled "Rig Count Overview & Summary Count," with columns for "Area," "Last Count," "Count," "Change from Prior Count," "Date of Prior Count," "Change from Last Year," and "Date of Last Year's Count." The table shows data for three areas: the U.S., Canada, and International.
For the U.S., the last count is 576 rigs on 16 May 2025, a decrease of 2 from the prior count of 578 on 9 May 2025, and a decrease of 28 from the last year's count of 604 on 17 May 2024.
Canada has 121 rigs on 16 May 2025, an increase of 7 from the prior count of 114 on 9 May 2025, and an increase of 7 from the last year's count of 114 on 17 May 2024.
The International area has 891 rigs on 16 May 2025, a decrease of 8 from the prior count of 900 on 3 May 2025, and a decrease of 87 from the last year's count of 978 on 17 May 2024.
The table uses green for increases and red for decreases, with the dates of the prior and last year's counts in parentheses. The Baker Hughes logo is visible at the top left, and a "Menu" option is present at the top center.
