Fake news. Remember, TACO.

Yes, exactly! It sucks up heat and helps to keep the temperatures down.

I absolutely love seeing greenery, especially if it's anything other than lawns.

Would it kill you to open the article?

Two officers and a border patrol employee were injured in the attack, including one who was shot in the knee. All three were sent to hospital for treatment, officials said.

Only the guy, a 27 year old from Michigan, was killed.

Apparently he had spray painted "Cordis Die", likely a CoD reference.

The Weslaco Police Department said in a statement later Monday that Jose Mosqueda told police his son, Ryan Mosqueda, went missing around 3:48 a.m. Jose Mosqueda said his son, who was last seen about an hour earlier, had a mental deficiency, according to the statement, but no documents were provided to back up these claims.

According to the union, on average, each worker will receive almost $11,000 in back pay. One worker is set to receive more than $145,000.

You won't believe this, but I found it in the OP's article. Wild. Also:

"The primary underpayment that we first uncovered related to misclassification, so workers being paid in many cases level one in the retail award when, in fact, they should have been paid level three, four or five," Mr Peak said.

"For some workers, that represented up $5 an hour that they were being paid below the legal minimum.

"It also went to the mis-payment [sic] of a range of allowances [such as] not being paid cold work allowances, not being paid the uniform allowance, or uniforms weren't being provided to them as they should be under the award."

Not German, but close enough - there's usually at least one bus within walkable distance, even if it's only like 4 times a day or something, that connects to a larger hub.

I lived in a place where I had to be by the bus stop at 7h30. If I missed that I'd have to wait for the next at 8h15, and if I missed that one, I'd better call to say I wasn't able to go that day.

However, in smaller towns and in the countryside, with no cars, life is so different to the frenetic chaos of big cities that it's hard to put into words.

You're still thinking in a context where the earth is travelling around the sun, etc etc.

If you assume the Earth as the reference point, then that is fixed, absolutely frozen, doesn't move at all. That's point zero.

You cannot calculate where the earth is. What you do is calculate where everything else, the universe itself and even other dimensions, are with regards to your fixed point.

This can feel counterintuitive, but here's a random visualization: https://youtube.com/shorts/UZyuZVvCE78

Note that, in that video, only the perspective has changed. The solar system is moving as usual.

Are you perhaps experiencing a fever, discomfort or itching at the bite site, and a sudden and inexplicable fear of water?

Because it's been a hot minute since I've seen such a nonsensical, aggressive response to an innocuous comment...

You're a witch with flowers in your hair and a bound demon prince, why would you choose to live as a wage slave?

That's outright disgusting.

If you need to regularly scratch your anus, go see a doctor.

Also, even if you do need to scratch your anus, why wouldn't you be able to eat with your hands? SURELY you sanitize them properly RIGHT? RIGHT?!

Just saw the post about Helsinki opening several bridges for a similar purpose, so thought I'd share this here as well.

Porto Metro system didn't exist until around 20 years ago. Just last year, it carried more than 90 million people, and it's not stopping.

While traffic in Porto has actually gotten worse, as tourism and building rehabilitation have exploded, the investment in the metro continues.

This bridge is part of the new "Ruby line", and will provide another much needed way of crossing the Douro river, and will be exclusively used by pedestrians and cyclists, along with the metro.

This line is great because it will connect the other existing lines to a university campus and a large shopping center, while serving a fairly high density area where the residents mostly work in Porto, and have to commute daily.

Hi everyone!

I'm trying to control a "dumb" led light strip segment with an ESP-01S. This is fairly low current, the strip will pull 150mA-200mA max (depends on... artistic? needs).

I have two NPN transistors (2N2222), one to control the 12V supply to the white "channel" and the other the red+blue (don't need the green).

I had to pull-down the gates as I had some flickering, and it works perfectly if I manually connect the GPIOs after the ESP-01S boots.

The ESP will boot if I have the RX pin (GPIO03) pulled down on boot, but not if I pull down any of the others.

I'm not smart enough to come up with a way to have that extra pin I need to be high only during boot, while the gate it's attached to needs to be pulled down...

Any thought, other than getting something with more IO pins?
