Supposedly that's Bari's reason for spiking it. Still, the firsthand account from the people detained isn't very common, and it's uniquely telling that the government is citing criminal acts for which the guy pleaded out of and is legally innocent over.

Sounds like bribery to me. Which has a law and a cause for impeachment in the Constitution.

Yep, it's got a rubbery grippy surface to follow the plane. As the plane goes down, the wheel will creep up a little bit so the jet bridge height will go down a tiny bit too.

Fun fact: they also have an alarm if something funky happens, like if someone pulls on the unit when it's in use.

Clickbait trying to be subtle

Shit, with the way computer horsepower has improved over the years, how hard can it be to add a legacy Windows emulator or whatever WINE is, especially when you have the original source code available?

There isn't a single Republican in the House who I want to see stay in office. That said, trying to get every single one out just isn't going to happen. A "positive trend" doesn't mean anything in districts as strong as this one, but there are plenty of purple districts where that positive trend means a flipped seat. And all the gerrymandering to secure more seats means each seat is less safe (those blue voters didn't disappear, even if their district essentially did) so that could backfire as well.

I've got 4 Pis in my house right now:

I'm also looking at making one of these (put a few parts on the Christmas list 😀 ) https://github.com/fatihak/InkyPi

Guys, have you heard of this thing called Bitcoin? You can get a bunch of them for like $3, worth a try to see what happens!

Do you have a 3D printer? $75 won't buy one in full, but it can help get a decent entry-level one like an Ender 3 V3 SE. If you already have one, maybe some filament.

Also, a Raspberry Pi can be used for some nice things. I love my Home Assistant setup, for example!

 
 

As a parent of a toddler in this program (one who is getting 4 provider visits per week, was going to be cut to 4 per month) I'm glad to have gotten an email late Friday saying that there will be no changes to services at this time. Still, this week has been a clusterfuck for us and especially our providers!
