I put together an electronics kit + book intended as a gentle introduction to transistors and early computer logic gates (resistor-transistor logic or RTL).

I set up a Tindie store page for the little over a dozen I have readied. (I'll create a web site soon.)

Transistor Logic Pixie by EngineersNeedArt on Tindie
An educational kit to learn about transistors and simple logic gates. Easy for beginners and a stepping stone to more advanced electronics.

This, with the subject line "Action Required: Transition from your FreeStyle Libre 3 sensor now"
Is a lie thru implication. The old sensor is not going anywhere.

They make it seem like you "need" to make a change from the 3 to the 3+ but it's just predatory marketing as I discovered when I checked.

Seems they actually made super wolves and just slapped the Dire label on them. Nonetheless, does anyone remember africanized bees?

I think the lesson of the Booker Filibuster is that it is better to stand and fail, than to roll over and live with it.

At what point do we recognize that this is no different than someone spraying rounds randomly into the populations or a lunatic darting around with a straight razor?

At what point do we treat this as the lethal threat that it is?

Except here and now, half the towns folk are joining in the mayhem and the other half, I fear, dont have the stomach for it.
The current political situation in the US feels a lot like the bit in Gremlins where the horrible chaotic nihilist monsters are running riot and destroying the town, but it's worth remembering that the next bit is where people start stuffing them in blenders and microwaves and what have you

Did you know?

In 1968, 24 Black men in Pittsburgh revolutionized emergency medicine.

The Freedom House Ambulance Service was established to provide emergency medical care to underserved Black neighborhoods—creating the world’s first paramedics.

Once she faced the immigrant hopefuls, welcoming them. Now she faces away from their decendants whose hearts have become harder and colder than her copper skin and iron frame could ever be.
Even from miles away, she shines bright.

What a sight to behold.

Just remember how many Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo flights exploded before they got it right.

Zero. The number is zero. (The Apollo fire was a launch pad test, not a flight. Nor was the mercury LES accident.)

This is Soviet space program shit.

Firefighters from Mexico just arrived at LAX. They'll be joining 14,000+ personnel already battling the #PalisadesFire.

California is immensely grateful to our neighbors' support in the fight against the wildfires in Los Angeles.
