Trump inherited an economy that was the envy of the developed world, one Biden's team navigated through post-pandemic inflation better than almost anyone.

In just a few months, Trump has torched it—simply because he takes pleasure in destroying his predecessor’s accomplishments. trib.al/uXVFv1Y



#GutenMorgen Fediland. ☕
Wer für Montag früh ein Meeting ansetzt, zu dem einige Teilnehmer über mehrere hundert Kilometer anreisen müssen, der schubst auch kleine Reiher in den Teich!
Ich bin dann heute Nachmittag wieder auf der Piste.
Euch einen schönen #Sonntag.

Can't quite get a good photo of my blue Kangaroo Paw because of the sun but six weeks in, it's very happy. Will try again in the afternoon #AustralianNature #KangarooPaw #Nollamarra #Masquerade

The image depicts two individuals engaged in a conversation. On the left, a person wearing a blue beanie and a maroon shirt is gesturing with their hands, suggesting they are speaking. The person on the right, with dark skin and wearing a teal shirt, is looking down, possibly listening intently. Above them, a speech bubble contains the text "...don't be afraid to ask for help." The background shows a simple room with a bed and a window, indicating an indoor setting. The overall tone of the image is supportive and encouraging.

Plum harvest. Tree is full of fruit, completely mental this year. Picked 30kg just what's in reach without a ladder.

12h work day for the first half. Cake, preserve, jam, compote. To be repeated tomorrow. 🙄

This was parked in front of our hotel yesterday. Apparently, it's a Vietnamese electric car called the VinFast VF 3.

It's very cheap to buy and will do 100 km/h. But only for a short time, and only when the battery is full 😁.

Seats four despite being absolutely tiny.

I've been saying we need to stop buying the biggest cars we can afford, and instead buy the smallest that will suffice. For many people, this could be that.

Huh. I didn't know that two of the LA olympics events will be hosted in Oklahoma City.
in reply to Baloo Uriza

I hope its not rowing. I remember last time they had a big rowing event there and pretty much anyone NOT from OKC area got sick from water.🤮

Hell I used to drive my 4x4 jeep all through the same river not 2 miles downstream from the rowing center. 😎

Amy nails it again, thanks for sharing Heather

While I support the right of those protesting today to do so, I hope it's a major flop

Sadly I think the counter protests will just help bring them more attention than they deserve

@IPXFong So glad to see New Mexico doing this. I just wrote to Colorado’s health department urging them to do the same.


So coole Ideen... Vor allem die Nr. 14 😎 Das voting wird schwer!

Mikähän parku alkaa huomenna #KD:n ja persujen taholta, kun #Valtonen on näemmä eilen sanonut, että #Suomi on avoin #EU:n ja Israelin kauppasopimuksen jäädyttämiselle?

Sinänsä yllättävää, ettei vielä ole huudettu - ainakaan niin kovaa, että media olisi reagoinut.

𝗨𝗣𝗗𝗔𝗧𝗘: After footage of a grown man snatching Kamil Majchrzak’s autographed hat from a young fan spread overnight, the boy finally got his moment with the tennis star. 🙌
The “hat-snatcher” was identified as Polish CEO Piotr Szczerek, owner of paving company “Drogbruk”.
Glad to see a positive resolution so quickly!

I'd be one of those patents to write a permission note saying "whatever #book my kid wants" and then be lynched because this is #texas. No book is a bad book.

The Queramin is a QWERTY Theremin with a C-64 Heart


[Linus] playing his instrument

While we have nothing against other 1980s 8-bit machines, the Commodore 64 has always been something special. A case in point: another new instrument using the C-64 and its beloved SID chip. Not just new to retrocomputing, either, but new entirely. [Linus Åkesson] has invented the QWERTY Theremin, and there’s a Commodore at its core.

If this project sounds vaguely familiar, it’s because it’s based off of the C-64 Theremin [Linus] built a couple of years back. According to [Linus], there were a few issues with the instrument. A real thereminist told him there were issues with the volume response; his own experience taught him that theremins are very, very hard to play for the uninitiated.

This model fixes both problems: first, the volume circuit now includes a pair of digital-analog-converters (DACs) connected to the Commodore’s user port, allowing smooth and responsive volume control.In this case the DAC is being used solely for volume control: SID provides the analog reference voltage, while the 12-bit digital input served as volume control. That proved noisy, however, thanks to the DC bias voltage of the audio output being scaled by the DAC even when the SID was silent. A second DAC was the answer, providing a signal to cancel out the scaled bias voltage. That in and of itself is a clever hack.

The biggest change is that this instrument no longer plays like a theremin. Pitch has been taken out of the 555-based antenna circuit entirely; while vertical distance from the spoon-antenna still controls volume as in a regular theremin and the last version, the horizontal distance from the second antenna (still a clamp) now controls vibrato. Pitch is now controlled by the QWERTY keyboard. That’s a much easier arrangement for [Linus] — this isn’t his first chiptune QWERTY instrument, after all.

Desperado (1995) on VHS.

The film that launched Antonio Banderas into Hollywood stardom—and he does it with pure swagger.

Back in the day, people drew comparisons to Pulp Fiction. Sure, Tarantino shows up in a cameo, and Rodriguez would go on to collaborate with him plenty. But this movie carves out its own identity.

Nothing beats the sight of a lone mariachi with a guitar case full of firepower. Wall-to-wall shootouts, slick style, and a soundtrack that absolutely smolders.
