If you create an electoral system that turns every vote into a question of "do you hate this guy or fear this guy more?", please do not act surprised when a very large number of people, after nearly a half-century of political games and theft from the public, are like "I hate both of them more than I fear either of them" and don't show up.
If you don't understand this, that's a *you* problem.

Trump megabill gives the oil industry everything it wants and ends key support for solar and wind
"The law opens up federal lands and waters to oil and gas drilling [and] slashes the royalties that producers pay the government for pumping oil and gas on federal lands.
The coal industry is also a big winner from the law, which mandates at least 4 million additional acres of federal land be made available for mining."

Many in the US got a propaganda message from the Social Security Administration last night. It says, "The bill ensures that nearly 90% of Social Security beneficiaries will no longer pay federal income taxes on their benefits, providing meaningful and immediate relief to seniors who have spent a lifetime contributing to our nation's economy." That sounds great, but I haven't seen any fact-checking on this email, and it seems that there will be zero benefit for the majority.

You would need a soldering iron and a solder sucker or solder wick to remove the defective one, then soldering iron and solder to install the replacement.
I think it depends on how desperate you are to fix, and how hard it is to source an appropriate part. Odds original was pushing the current to the limit *and* that the limit has no buffer is low IMO
Just so you know where my skill level is for #soldering repairs… I probably spent longer than any ration people trying to de-solder the relay and wondering why nothing was reaching temperature UNTIL i decide to snip off the relay that was absorbing all the heat.
My dinky soldering gun was a probably a contributing factor.
I need a soldering bootcamp with hands on experience with real tools.
If it helps - I’ve got a blog post on my site about getting started with soldering containing my recommendations on tools and videos to learn (been soldering for several years both as a part of my job and on hobby projects).

How better to showcase climate leadership than by doubling down on oil drilling.

Mayor Wu kicked off her extended Fourth of July weekend not by addressing payroll chaos at City Hall — but by blasting Donald Trump.
In a sharply worded statement released Thursday, Wu denounced Trump’s “so-called Big Beautiful Bill,” accusing him of targeting Boston families while giving “massive tax cuts to billionaires.”
Wu specifically framed the bill as a threat to her climate agenda, warning that Trump’s plan would gut clean energy programs that are “powering the region’s economy.”
City of Boston Employees Left Without Pay on July 4th Weekend
Mayor Wu’s Trump statement came just hours before the City shut down for the long weekend — and with paychecks missing, her critics say she appeared more focused on national headlines than local responsibility.
A breeding-age female only has a few things to offer: looks, character and an unused vagina.
If she lets rando men splooge in her, because in the final analysis, boyfriends are merely rando men, long after females grow up, she becomes akin to a low-value, used car.
A female of character does not engage in rando sex, esteems herself, pursues self-development to elevate herself, does not defile her body in any way.
If you believe it is fine to swive rando guys until the right one comes along, then you are forced to believe that a female working as a prostitute or in porn like Bonnie Blue or Lily Philips swiving 101 men in 24 hours is equally fine, the same, and an option for oneself or one's daughters or granddaughters.
A difference in degree does not create a difference in kind.
Defendant: "But I only robbed one time. My co-defendants robbed many times before." Judge: "A difference in degree does not create a difference in kind."
"A female of character does not engage in rando sex, esteems herself, pursues self-development to elevate herself, does not defile her body in any way."
we have a collection of value judgements here, which rely, among other defects, on circular logic.
e.g. - "esteems herself", as if having rando sex implied or necessitated a lack of self-esteem which also relies on the very shaky meaning of self esteem. - "self-development" need not contradict either rando sex or prostitution,
Nick Fuentes of America First likes the Big Beautiful Bill because it contains $150 billion for border security and to build a wall between us and Mexico.
But there is one thing no one is talking about: Trump had to do a Backroom Deal to get the bill passed: He agreed to Amnesty for millions of illegal alien workers.

The Trump gang just took down a bunch of legally mandated climate assessments. Meanwhile, here in actual reality, the climate doesn't give a fuck:
“We are witnessing a true reversal of ocean circulation in the Southern Hemisphere—something we’ve never seen before. While the world is debating the potential collapse of the AMOC [Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation] in the North Atlantic, we’re seeing that the SMOC is not just weakening, but has reversed. This could have unprecedented global climate impacts.”
That's a quote from Antonio Turiel, one author of a new paper in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. This study found that since 2016, the water in parts of the Antarctic Ocean is getting more salty. This suggests that the deep ocean circulation in the southern hemisphere—known as the SMOC—has reversed. Instead of sinking into the depths, surface water is now being replaced by deep water coming up to the surface.
This reversal seems to be driving the accelerated melting of sea ice in the Antarctic Ocean:
This web page from the Institut de Ciències del Mar says
"In the long term, this process could double current atmospheric CO₂ concentrations by releasing carbon that has been stored in the deep ocean for centuries—potentially with catastrophic consequences for the global climate."
But never mind, just close your eyes. Don't read this:
• Alessandro Silvano et al, Rising surface salinity and declining sea ice: A new Southern Ocean state revealed by satellites, pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2500…
@ArchaeoIain - yes, the web page from the Institut de Ciències del Mar extrapolates a bit:
"The upwelling of deep, warm, CO₂-rich waters is believed to be driving the accelerated melting of sea ice in the Southern Ocean. In the long term, this process could double current atmospheric CO₂ concentrations by releasing carbon that has been stored in the deep ocean for centuries—potentially with catastrophic consequences for the global climate."
The catastrophe unfolding in Gaza cannot be understood solely through the lens of humanitarian crisis. What we are witnessing is not just a tragic consequence of war, but the deliberate use of starvation as a tool of political and demographic control. This strategy, designed to dismantle Palestinian society, amounts to a form of structural genocide.

The apps I’ve identified range from innocuous image and video editing apps to casual games, and most users won’t be aware they’re installing Israeli products on their phones. Many of these app developers operate under the radar, their ownership structures are opaque and the identity of their owners isn’t commonly known."
