Word to the media: don't bother us with this shit until they have a working idea on how to monitor and regulate the shit so we can all have flying cars and not just one dude's stupid prototype. The hard thing isn't making a car that can fly. That shit is relatively easy. The hard part is figuring out how air traffic would work if everyone was up there. It's already a PITA and there aren't a helluva lot of planes compared to cars.

If they're all automated and coordinating, NASA has put a lot of effort into researching how to coordinate a swarm of airborne agents with diverse goals.. I'd imagine that these prototypes have gotten further development and a reality-collision as drone systems have been deployed and evolving in the Ukrainian theatre. The tech for this might actually finally be ready.

You did a good job separating the interior wires to increase their surface area with the solder. Splaying out the bristles allows the solder to penetrate the whole wire and enables a good connection. You didn't make the Arecibo collapse mistake.

You have a lot of small chunks with poor interconnectivity. It's like you dripped solder onto the wires and let each drip cool before the next one landed. Try remelting the solder into a contiguous pool and letting it reform the connection. Maybe even add more solder so there is enough to coat the available surface.

The only structure holding these wires in place is the solder. Try poking some of the wire bristles through the holes that you are trying to make a connection with. Aim for a closer connection between the wire and the breadboard, and structural integrity against impacts. Compared to your wires attached next to the conductive holes, a wire threaded through a hole that gets knocked around is more likely to end up in a new position that remains in contact with the hole.

Make a solid and strong connection using the structure of the the materials, then add solder to glue it into place. Look at how the clips on the components that you are attaching to use their shape and rigidity to keep pressure against the conductive holes. Make sure that the solder fully melts and makes a contiguous connection.

What happens in your class? Do the kids play sports and you supervise? How is it decided who plays what (assigned or self-directed)? Is there time and space for exploratory play, or are the only options pre-structured and pre-determined sports and games?

Perhaps that's when the seeds were planted. But now the grounds are shifting by growing the harvest we've prepared. Truly the stage was set by colonialism hundreds of years back, etc.

Although considering the current balance of power, something promising this might actually end up being:

All the unions involved in the Cloudsdale general strike were outlawed and new state-sanctioned ones were set up.

I believe that something horrible is about to happen the following five to ten years. We will then reflect, as we did in the aftermath of the two first world wars, on human predisposition to outgroup, other, dehumanize and eliminate.

I believe that we're already 5-10 years into the foreshocks of that something horrible. I believe that in the next 5-10 years it'll reach a climax if we don't stop to reflect now.

I'd rather not work until I'm dead. Seems more fun and less time consuming.

would have to be fixed in the driver, or at least ALSA or PipeWire

coppwr

Set up a dummy device whose input is a monitor of the HDMI out, and make the dummy device's output the headphones.

Used to use pactl for pulse, but coppwr makes pipe wire configs very visually accessible.

heart to sun
see it and run

they show their hand

no you did not see
no not never nazi

There are other astronauts on the station, too.

But without any Russians lately, the ISS is a bit short staffed.

Other social media sites have been doing it. Do we want to join in?

EDIT: Some people are saying that this is a power that ought to be left to communities... do we have a specific delineation of powers that relegates these decisions to communities? If not, then I recommend that these users propose such a delineation of powers. I would be very ok with this proposal failing because instead we got a more explicit set of checks and balances.

 

On Tuesday, voters in Crook County passed measure 7-86, which asked voters if they support negotiations to move the Oregon/Idaho border to include Crook County in Idaho.  The measure is passing with 53% of the vote, and makes Crook County the 13th county in eastern Oregon to pass a Greater Idaho measure.
