alright lads i have found the problem. a short in an ABS wheel speed sensor wire is causing spurious pulsing of the brake which is causing that creaking sound only when turning to one side and braking. finally nailed it.
i think instead of throwing a bunch of money away on new sensors i'll just splice out that section of fatigued wire on both sides. new OEM sensors would be like $200 each, after market can be a lot cheaper but i'd rather stick with the oem sensors

U.S. President Trump’s Special Envoy Steven Witkoff, perhaps speaking on behalf of the President, criticized Netanyahu’s decision to continue the military operations in Gaza.
Stalin: As far as I know in the CPC there is a thin layer of the proletariat and the nationalist sentiments are very strong and if you will not conduct genuinely Marxist-Leninist class policies and not conduct struggle against bourgeois nationalism, the nationalists will strangle you. Then not only will socialist construction be terminated, China may become a dangerous toy in the hands of American imperialists. In the building of socialism in China I strongly recommend you to fully utilise Lenin’s splendid work ‘The Immediate Tasks of Soviet Power’. This would assure success. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Otto Kuusinen: As long as the working class wages only an economic struggle, the bourgeoisie does not see in that any great danger for itself; but when the working class organises politically, i.e., creates a political party which expresses its will as a class, the bourgeoisie begins seriously to fear for its rule. That is why reaction deals its main blows against the political party of the working class. At the same time, trying to undermine the party from within, capitalist propaganda endeavours to persuade the workers that they can do without their own party. One of the manifestations of bourgeois influence on the working class is the anarchist and anarcho-syndicalist denial of the leading role of a political party.

Marjori Palmer: One of the most morale-damaging aspects of the inflation was the "sack of Germany" that occurred at the height of the (1923) inflation. Anyone who possessed dollars or sterling was king in Germany. A few American dollars would allow a man to live like a millionaire. Foreigners swarmed into the country, buying up family treasures, estates, jewelry and art works at unbelievable low prices.
Lionel Robbins: It was the most colossal thing of its kind in history: and next probably to the Great War itself, it must bear responsibility for many of the political and economic difficulties of our generation.

At least here in the US, lots of mobile phone plans have free or cheap international calls, depending on the countries involved. Example. Some home landline plans also have that. So far that has been enough for me on the few occasions when I've wanted to make an international call. If more frequent, I'd use a VOIP provider, maybe Twilio (I'm sure there are others too, but I know Twilio supports this and has a decent API).
VOIP providers will often also sell you inbound phone numbers in the destination country, if you want the other person to be able to call you from their landline without it getting rung up as an international call for them. Those aren't always so cheap, but there are obvious use cases.
Build your own plan with minutes, texts and data starting at only $5/month. No contract, no lock-ins! You can also buy a new phone from Tello or bring your own. It's all up to you.

Le génocide fait rage à Gaza; le Pakistan et l'Inde, puissances nucléaires, sont au bord de la guerre totale; Trump sombre dans une hallucinante corruption; mais le sujet de la semaine dans les merdias, c'est ce bouquin sur le fonctionnement interne d'un parti. Tous les journalopes sont vraiment une sale race.
Que faut-il retenir de l'enquête sur le fonctionnement interne de LFI, qui vient d'occuper les médias français pendant une semaine et continue de faire parler d'elle ?
Pour la première fois de son histoire, l’armée israélienne se trouve confrontée à une vague de désengagements. Depuis le mois de mars, plusieurs dizaines de lettres émanant d’unités de réserves et de vétérans appellent à l’arrêt de la guerre à Gaza, remettant en cause la stratégie militaire du gouvernement de Benjamin Netanyahu.
Plus qu’un élan humaniste vis-à-vis des Palestiniens, ces lettres demandent surtout la libération des otages israéliens. Occultant ainsi les massacres perpétrés dans la bande de Gaza.
David Sellam, 28 ans, a quitté son unité de réserve. Né dans une famille de colons ultra-orthodoxe à Jérusalem-Est, il est l’un des rares signataires de ces lettres exigeant l’arrêt des crimes contre le peuple palestinien.

Official music video for Young & Dumb by Avril Lavigne ft. Simple Plan
Lyrics
Woah, woah, woah (Back when we were young and dumb and we knew everything)
2002, and I’m hangin’ on a tour bus Leaving my hometown, Napanee (Bye) Rockin’ a necktie, black eyeliner White tank top and I’m chasin’ my dreams, yeah
Livin’ like a rockstar Trashin’ hotel rooms (Oops) Let’s get stupid tattoos (Okay) ‘Cause we’ve got nothin’ to lose (Ha)
I’ve been thinkin’ ’bout that summer when we had each other Back when we were young and dumb and we knew everything We said this would last forеver, can’t get any bettеr Like when we were young and dumb and we had everything
(Woah) These are the best nights (Woah) Livin’ our best life (Woah) Like when we were young and dumb and we knew everything
We’re back again, now it’s twenty years later (Hey, boys) Somehow it feels like nothing’s changed (Haha) I’m just a kid, still a pop-punk skater They told me, “Get a job,” but I said, “No way”
Livin’ like a rockstar Trashing dressing rooms (My bad) Smashing Fender guitars (Woo) ‘Cause we got nothin’ to lose
I’ve been thinkin’ ’bout that summer when we had each other Back when we were young and dumb and we knew everything We said this would last forever, can’t get any better Like when we were young and dumb and we had everything
(Woah) These are the best nights (Woah) Livin’ our best life (Woah) Like when we were young and dumb and we knew everything (Woah) These are the best nights (Woah) Livin’ our best life (Woah) Like when we were young and dumb and we knew everything
I’ve been thinkin’ ’bout that summer when we had each other Back when we were young and dumb and we knew everything

Blimey, watching this old hack of Avril Lavigne trying to act as if she were twenty again is quite the spectacle. Honestly, there ought to be laws against this sort of thing! It’s rather cringeworthy, isn’t it?
Although the theory is promising, the duo point out that they have not yet completed its proof. The theory uses a technical procedure known as renormalization, a mathematical way of dealing with infinities that show up in the calculations.
So far Partanen and Tulkki have shown that this works up to a certain point—for so-called 'first order' terms—but they need to make sure the infinities can be eliminated throughout the entire calculation.
"If renormalization doesn't work for higher order terms, you'll get infinite results. So it's vital to show that this renormalization continues to work," explains Tulkki. "We still have to make a complete proof, but we believe it's very likely we'll succeed."
At long last, a unified theory combining gravity with the other fundamental forces—electromagnetism and the strong and weak nuclear forces—is within reach.
ToE is generally taken to mean a theory that accounts for all four fundamental forces in physics, 1) strong nuclear force, 2) electromagnetism, 3) weak nuclear force (unified in some way with electromagnetism now), 4) gravity. The "standard model" only handles the first three, with gravity being separate and very mysterious. I'm skeptical of this new paper on various grounds but who knows.
