The F-bombs didn't shock me — The PCH moment did. Heavy. I'm glad you're still here to tell this, and other important stories.

That clears my confusion. Thanks. S.J.Res. 138: 12,000 BLU–110A/B general purpose, 1,000-pound bomb bodies. S.J.Res 32: Caterpillar D9R/T bulldozers.

I'm with ya Mitchell. Of note, Sanders' tally differs from today's Roll Call Vote: 36 (Not 40) yeas, and 11 Dem nays. I'm interested in the effects of AIPAC donations — What does 35 million dollars buy? I genuinely don't know. www.senate.gov/legislative/... www.trackaipac.com/congress

Senate Joint Resolution 138 — Disapproval of Military Sales to Israel.
Floor vote 04/15/2026.

Eleven Democratic Senators voted against.
In aggregate, these senators accepted nearly $35 million dollars from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee.

Any correlation? I genuinely don't know.

The whole world should be horrified by this. Sanction the fuck out of Israel. And stop supplying them with the means to commit genocide. Why is this so fucking complicated?!?

I'm happy for your memories. (Got 'em, as well). We used the "E"s first — None ever made it into our drawer.

The in-store display versions were USB, not PS2. I got a couple of those when our local RS folded. Used them to catalog my vinyl & CDs in dBase III. Starting to think I'm ancient.

Hunh... I'd never have guessed that'd be the component that failed. Value drift; 470K --> 0? I dunno. When you're done investigating, I'd love to hear your analysis. Glad you got nightlights & some tinker time. P.S. I'm recycling "resistor carbonara"

Yowza! I'm curious -- Did the fuse blow? Also, is that solder or molten aluminum on the bleeder?

How naive I've been... Before Felon Trump, I had no idea that so many amoral, callous people existed. I still can't fathom 40% support.

39% approval! Despite EVERYTHING. I'm dumbfounded.

A maker space? Super cool. Thanks for the invitation. I'll bring extra bits -- Guessing there'll be other like-minded folks. See you tomorrow. (It's the Mission Gorge Place location, right?)

Wrote his own drill bit calculator... If PCB drills would advance your cause, I'll deliver a bunch to Farm to Smash on Valley Parkway. Trade you for a cheeseburger. LMK. BTW, Traipsed about MassMind. A treasure trove. Will fully rabbit hole later. Especially interested in your Disc Encoder.

I was in the industry -- Got 'em for pennies. Typically vias are 0.20 - 0.30 mm; DIPs and small Rs & Cs 0.65 - 0.80 mm. Maybe take some calipers to your faves. US Post is slow but reasonable. About $60. How aout this: I'll cover shipping & you donate a like amount to the charity of your choice.

Do you ever need really tiny holes? I have 55K tungsten carbide PCB drills taking up space in my garage. Size range 0.15 - 2.5 mm. Larger diameters will tolerate a Dremel, but < 0.50 mm requires near-zero runout. They're fragile as glass. If you need to get small, DM a FedEx-able address.

How about these buckets, Schumer?: Combating authoritarianism and descent into a police state. Ending imperialism and wreckless foreign policies. Prosecuting corruption; Restoring trust. Rebuilding a government decimated by DOGE.

Yes, personal gain. Also, creating a Putin-esque power structure -- Select, then allow oligarchs to amass wealth in return for political support (and kickbacks). Here, it's Chevron & Mike Wirth.

'That is not a security framework. That is a “vibe” based list.' Solid blog entry.

Yeah, I quoted that part of von der Leyen's statement. Metsola and Costa put out similar. A closer read of AJ's & EU's reports answered my question. The seized assets won't be used for security. Instead they'll ammend the Multiannual Financial Framework, then issue debt against the EU budget.
