When I get depressed about politics, I think of politicians like AOC. As long as there are young people willing to take up the fight to move forward, I remind myself I should do everything to back them.

Roboticizing An Etch-a-Sketch The Etch-a-Sketch was a popular toy, but a polarizing one. You were either one of those kids that had the knack, or one of the kids that didn’t. [Micah] was pretty firmly in the latter group, so decided to roboticize the Etch-a-Sketch so a computer could draw for him instead. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWoZ_PqeH98The build uses a pair of stepper motors attached t

House members will hold separate votes on four bills that represent $95bn in funding altogether
– including roughly $26bn in aid for Israel, $61bn for Ukraine, $8bn for US allies in the Indo-Pacific region and $9bn in humanitarian assistance for civilians in war zones, such as Gaza.
The bills are expected to pass the House, after they easily cleared a key procedural hurdle on Friday ahead of the final vote.

Those that pass will be combined into a single package in order to simplify the voting process for the Senate, which will need to reapprove the proposal before it can go to Joe Biden’s desk for his signature.

For anybody following along at home, Google sent a visitor to my site today to a 2020 article with the slightly “an-introduction-to-io-uring”.

Not only did I never write that article, I can’t think of an article I wrote around that time that it might be “thinking” of.

Never, not once, ever has any of our forty plus presidents been given total immunity. It never happened and never will happen because the ONE AND ONLY DUTY of our POTUS-----------------------------------------------UPHOLD THE LAW.

Thats why we have a president. The POTUS is our figurehead of GOOD EXAMPLES.

The only reason we have LAW is because the government insists and the government would never insist that you do not follow the law.

The idea that this man feels as POTUS that he is above the law is a direct IMPLICATION OF HIS GUILT.

How is a President supposed to uphold the law IF the POTUS HIMSELF is NOT OBLIGATED BY THE SAME LAW.

This is sheer stupidity and anyone believing or parroting this is simply S T U P I D.
