CIF Official had me police escorted out of the CA State Track & Field Championship

When I asked why - no one could show me a policy following up the actions.

A male is dominating in 3 GIRLS events.

As a former 4 year CIF varsity athlete & CA collegiate athlete I was there to defend girls sports.

This is a violation of my 1st amendment right.

See below this post for my video explanation.

It's a rolling release Linux distro, but they test everything thoroughly through their own build service.

Lets talk about the installer. First, you get a licence agreement.Y ou get very complete network settings, but they're not user friendly at all. Then you get to pick the role of your system: do you need a desktop, with GNOME, Plasma, or XFCE, a generic desktop for a minimal install, or a server. You can also get other desktop environments from the repos afterwards, like Cinnamon, MATE, LXQt, or even just a window manager, like i3.

OpenSUSE tumbleweed is one of the rare distros I installed using all its defaults that did NOT manage to give me a bootable system. I reinstalled it, this time carefully picking my partition layout, and this time it worked.

Once I managed to boot the system, I got a very vanilla GNOME experience, with GNOME 44. No extensions, no themes, it's the default experience, and that's great.

On KDE, there's a tiny bit more customization applied, with an OpenSUSE logo as the menu, and the titlebars defaulting to the breeze classic look, instead of the cleaner "regular" color scheme. It doesn't depart from the base KDE layout, it's still super vanilla.

Tumbleweed comes with a lot of preinstalled software, like Evolution, GIMP, LibreOffice, a few games, Tiger VNC, Transmission, and of course, the Yast utility. Flatpak is preinstalled, and flathub is enabled, which is really good.

Yast is a control center and setup utility that's been the mainstay of OpenSUSE for years, basically since its first version. It lets you configure your system in depth, way more than what the default settings in GNOME or KDE let you do.

So, first, Yast lets you manage software. You can add, remove or edit software repositories, and their GPG keys, and you can install packages or apply patches.

This opens a very complete graphical package manager that reminded me of Synaptic. You can install libraries, drivers, whatever is not available in GNOME Software or Discover. It's all RPM packages.

But YAST is also a super complete tool if you want to configure a lot of advanced settings graphically. Yast lets you configure the boot loader entirely, you also get a services manager, to let you enable, or disable various services that run in the background. There's a sysconfig graphical editor, to set various variables related to your desktop. And then there are security settings, for AppArmor, configuring the firewall, hardening the system by disabling or enabling various features and settings, and you can consult the logs, all graphically.

You can also manage printers and scanners, but, the built in tools for this are... not great.

And then there are things I don't think are really needed anymore in a separate tool, like the date and time settings, the language settings, the network settings, the partitioning tool, all of these have equivalents in the Plasma or GNOME desktops, and as far as I can tell, the Yast utilities don't do more than the built in tools.

Once I used it, I started to wonder why desktop environments don't give users access to these configs, or why there isn't a third party tool to manage these.

Tumbleweed also comes with a graphical btrfs snapshot manager: It lets you create or delete snapshots, which you'll be able to restore to revert your system to a usable state.

OpenSUSE also has a web portal to find and install applications.

Operating a Marine Boat Hoist


Operating a marine boat hoist requires a comprehensive understanding of its mechanics, safety protocols, and operational procedures. A marine boat hoist, also known as a travel lift or boat lift, is a specialized machine used in marinas and boatyards to lift boats out of the water for maintenance, storage, or transport. This guide will provide an in-depth look at how to operate a marine boat hoist safely and efficiently, covering preparation, operation, and post-operation procedures.

Preparation


Training and Certification

Before operating a marine boat hoist, ensure that all operators are adequately trained and certified. Training should cover:

Understanding the Hoist: Familiarize operators with the specific model of the marine boat hoist, including its controls, safety features, and load capacity.

Safety Protocols: Educate operators on safety protocols, including personal protective equipment (PPE), emergency procedures, and risk management.

Pre-Operational Inspection

Perform a thorough inspection of the marine boat hoist before each use. Key points to check include:

Structural Integrity: Inspect the frame, wheels, and lifting slings for any signs of damage, wear, or corrosion.

Hydraulic System: Check for leaks, proper fluid levels, and ensure the hydraulic system operates smoothly.

Controls and Safety Devices: Test all controls, such as the remote control and emergency stop buttons, to ensure they function correctly.

Load Capacity: Verify the hoist’s load capacity and ensure it matches the weight of the boat to be lifted.

Site Preparation

Prepare the site where the boat will be lifted. Key steps include:

Clearance: Ensure the area around the hoist and the boat is clear of obstacles and personnel.

Staging Area: Designate a safe staging area for the boat once it is lifted, ensuring it is level and stable.

Environmental Conditions: Check weather conditions and avoid operating the hoist in adverse weather, such as high winds or thunderstorms.

Operating the Marine Boat Hoist


Positioning the Hoist

Position the marine boat hoist over the boat to be lifted. Key steps include:

Aligning the Hoist: Carefully maneuver the hoist into position, ensuring it is centered over the boat. Use spotters if necessary to guide the operator.

Adjusting the Slings: Lower the lifting slings into the water and adjust their positions to match the boat’s hull configuration. Ensure the slings are placed at structurally sound points to avoid damaging the boat.

Lifting the Boat

Once the hoist is correctly positioned, begin lifting the boat. Key steps include:

Securing the Slings: Double-check that the slings are securely positioned and evenly distributed to balance the load.

Lifting Procedure: Gradually lift the boat out of the water by operating the hoist’s controls. Lift slowly and steadily to prevent sudden movements that could destabilize the boat.

Monitoring: Continuously monitor the boat and the hoist during the lifting process. Look for signs of stress or imbalance and adjust as necessary.

Transporting the Boat

After lifting the boat, transport it to the designated staging area. Key steps include:

Stabilizing the Load: Ensure the boat is stable and secure before moving the hoist. Use additional straps or supports if needed.

Navigating: Carefully navigate the hoist to the staging area, avoiding obstacles and ensuring smooth movement. Use spotters to guide the operator if visibility is limited.

Positioning: Position the boat over the staging area and lower it gently onto supports or a trailer. Ensure the boat is level and secure before detaching the slings.

Post-Operation Procedures


Securing the Boat

Once the boat is in the staging area, secure it to prevent movement. Key steps include:

Supports: Ensure the boat is properly supported by blocks or stands designed to hold its weight and shape.

Strapping: Use straps or chains to anchor the boat to the supports, preventing it from shifting or tipping.

Inspecting the Hoist

Perform a post-operation inspection of the marine boat hoist. Key points to check include:

Structural Check: Inspect the hoist for any signs of damage or wear that may have occurred during the operation.

Hydraulic System: Check the hydraulic system for leaks or other issues.

Controls and Safety Devices: Ensure all controls and safety devices are functioning correctly.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance of the marine boat hoist is essential for safe and efficient operation. Key maintenance tasks include:

Lubrication: Regularly lubricate moving parts, such as wheels and joints, to ensure smooth operation.

Hydraulic Fluid: Check and maintain proper hydraulic fluid levels.

Component Replacement: Replace worn or damaged components promptly to prevent failures.

Safety Considerations


Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

Ensure all operators and personnel wear appropriate PPE, including hard hats, gloves, safety glasses, and steel-toed boots.

Emergency Procedures

Establish and communicate emergency procedures, including:

Emergency Stops: Ensure operators know how to use emergency stop controls.

First Aid: Have a first aid kit readily available and ensure personnel are trained in basic first aid.

Communication

Effective communication is crucial for safe operation. Key measures include:

Hand Signals: Use standardized hand signals for communication between operators and spotters.

Radios: Equip personnel with radios or other communication devices to facilitate clear and immediate communication.

Operating a marine boat hoist involves careful planning, precise execution, and strict adherence to safety protocols. By following the outlined steps for preparation, operation, and post-operation procedures, operators can ensure the safe and efficient handling of boats. Regular maintenance and thorough training are essential to maintain the hoist's functionality and safety. Properly operating a marine boat hoist not only enhances operational efficiency but also significantly reduces the risk of accidents and damage to both the hoist and the boats it handles.

#Laptop #Gaming #Linux

It's a 15 inch device, with a 1440p display that refreshes at 165 hertz, with an aluminium chassis, a 13th gen Intel i7 CPU, an RTX 4060 GPU, as much RAM as you could cram into a laptop, and very solid I/O.

So, this thing is chunky: it's not meant to be an ultrabook, it weighs 2.1 kilos, or 4.6 pounds, and it's pretty damn sturdy. Not much give or flex to this chassis, thanks to the aluminium.

The hinge is really solid as well, with minimal wobble when typing. It's a 16:9 form factor. Of course you can open the laptop, and access the 2 M.2 slots for SSDs, the 2 DDR5 RAM slots, and the battery, which is 62 Wh. You can also buy spare parts from Slimbook, including the bezel cover, touchpad, lid, battery, keyboard palm rest, display, and more.

Now, in terms of specs, this laptop is well equipped, with a core i7 13620H, and an Nvidia RTX 4060, with 8 gigs of VRAM.

You can spec the rest up to your liking, with up to 64 gigs of DDR 5 RAM, at 5200 Mhz, and up to 4TB of PCIE4 storage.

You can also choose to dispose with the gamer branding and use a more unified black keyboard instead of having the white accents on the WASD keys, and you can pick any keyboard language you want.

As per I/O, on the left, you get a kensington lock, a USB 2.0 port, probably for a mouse, a mic jack, and a headphone jack. On the back, you have a mindisplay port, USB C 3.2 gen 2 with dusplayport support, HDMI 2.1, a gigabit ethernet port and the barrel charger, since charging this thing over USB would be a challenge. And on the right, there's an SD card reader, and 2 type A USB 3.2 ports.

On top of all that, you get Bluetooth 5.2, Wifi 6, a basic webcam and onboard mic that won't blow your socks off, dual speakers that are pretty decent, and a backlit keyboard with RGB, because, gamer.

In terms of benchmarks, the CPU get a score of 2733 in single core and 11625 in multi core on Geekbench 6.

browser.geekbench.com/v6/cpu/3…

Battery life is decent, with about 7h of generic office work with wifi on, 50% brightness, and using the silent mode.

In Horizon Zero Dawn, at the native 1440p resolution, without any upscaling, and at the ultra preset, the Slimbook Hero managed a super smooth 60 FPS.

For Shadow of the Tomb Raider, also at 1440p without upscaling, and the ultra preset, I got 99 FPS on average, sometimes going down to about 80, or up to 120.

The display is really solid, it covers 100% of SRGB, it has a refresh rate up to 165hz, and it's 1440p.

The keyboard is solid enough. The keys are very stable, and they have good travel. They're quite clicky, and the sound is pleasant, and they bounce back super fast, it's very nice to type on.

The touchpad is ok. It's smooth enough, and precise, although it's very off center, which I find annoying in day to day use.

democratic men


In Europe, and in former colonies of European countries, wealthy men have ruled for centuries. The USA was founded by wealthy men.

What’s even crazier is that these democratic principles are going backwards in the USA.


After WWII, the USA had huge advantages over the rest of the industrialized world. Europe and Japan were in ruins, along with all the countries that were part of the empire of Japan before the war.

The wealth of the wealthy wasn't completely gone, but much of it was destroyed by the war.

The US President during the war was Franklin Roosevelt, and his policy was to take power and wealth from the rich and give it to the war effort, and, after the war, to the veterans of the war.

Veterans, almost overnight, became a new, large middle class. They were able to earn university degrees and buy real estate. They joined labor unions. They had real pensions (not retirement accounts from which banks profited). They were able to send their children to universities.

Everyone in this new middle class assumed that the middle class would continue to grow and become more powerful. The wealthy who owned the USA before WWI seemed to be defeated. This was sometimes called "the revolution of rising expectations."

But the old wealthy families were not gone. They fought back. By 1980 they had regained power. It took a few more decades to get wealth and income inequality back to where it was in the 1890s, but the wealthy have won the class war they started.

Now wealth and income inequality in the USA is greater than ever. This country is run, once again, by racist, wealthy, old, white men. To them, what you call "democracy" is radical, extreme socialism.

Trump's victories in 2016 and 2024 were not unpredictable or random occurrences. They were, to a large extent, the result of the poor quality of the only party allowed by our election laws to compete with the Republicans. The Democratic Party is a conservative party whose only appeal to voters is "We're not as bad as the Republicans." It's not at all surprising that it has failed to inspire potential voters to vote.
