@USAFacts I wonder how this maps correlates to Taco Bell's market share of the fast food industry... A cursory check says that Taco Bell is a very popular and most Google-searched fast food place in MI.

We’re back with the explosive diarrhea data you’ve been waiting for. As of July 27, 6.707 cases of cyclosporiasis have been tracked by the CDC across 45 states — with Michigan and Ohio experiencing most of the new cases.

So tired of "winning"...

@lukeweston As a kid, I used to love winding those tri-fold clocks and then getting the bell to ring! My parents had two of them. Probably long lost by now. :(

The seller did a very good job of packing this up. A+ would buy again.

Is there a way to use the product with the AI features explicitly turned off?

Can one use flux.ai more like a traditional ECAD, explicitly creating schematic and PCB layouts without invoking AI? Is the problem that inexperienced users are leaning on the AI features?

Question for @BuildWithFlux alux.ai -- your pricing mentions $2/ACU after allowance. Is there a ballpark way to estimate/anticipate the ACU demand as one uses your product? IIUC, there is a spending caps setting? reddit.com/r/KiCad/commen…

@PonderWhatNow @EdKrassen Casablanca was out in 1942 and has the iconic airport scene... Flying was well know by everyone by then.

@PonderWhatNow @EdKrassen Well, people with means certainly were flying in 1940s, so too the members of the armed forces... Pan Am was founded in the late 1920s. The glamorous Clipper planes started flying in the 1930s

BREAKING: Trump claims that airplanes didn't exist when his father was alive. Fred Trump was born in 1905 and died in 1999. "I had a wonderful father, right, and he was a hard worker who was in the real estate business... He didn't want planes. They didn't have planes in those days, I don't think." The first flight was in 1903.

@Blublizzy @waltonjh @OccupyDemocrats There's a plastic hangar in that pic of the shirt shown for reference...

@waltonjh @OccupyDemocrats I do t think the tag was in the photo. I think they recognized the shirt and found a photo of it with the label so we didn’t just have to take their word that it’s chicos. I’ve never seen someone spend a month in hospital look so much better than normal. Usually look like shit.

BREAKING: A friend of Mitch McConnell's wife's family EXPOSES his supposed "proof-of-life" photo by pointing out the one detail that makes ZERO sense. His staff really thought that they'd get away with this? Jeff Yang, an author and podcaster who knows two of Elaine Chao's sisters from his Harvard days is calling foul on the photo, according to The Daily Beast. “I’ve known members of the Chao family—specifically, Elaine’s apolitical sisters (Grace and the late Angela)—since our college years,” Yang wrote on Bluesky. Then he revealed the flashing red detail that gives it all away... “I can’t imagine Elaine, one of the most put-together people in existence, releasing a pic wearing a thin shirt over a visible black bra, UNTUCKED,” he said. “Just implausible.” "Most implausible aspect of the image: ELAINE IS DEPICTED WEARING a $12 CHICO'S SHIRT. HOLY CRAP SHE WOULD RATHER DIE," Yang added, attaching a screenshot of the McConnell and Chao photo alongside separate pictures of the shirt in question. To date, McConnell's office has released just two unconvincing photos to "prove" that the senator is alive following his hospitalization and amidst growing speculation that he's either deceased or braindead. It would be a simple matter to put the rumors to rest. McConnell could do a brief face-to-face interview with a reputable journalist or at the very least release a video addressing his constituents. The latter option would still leave some uncertainty because of how convincing AI-generated content is these days, but it would at least be a step in the right direction. As for Yang's observation, we definitely think that he's onto something. Chao is a woman who married a monster to obtain closer proximity to power. All of her public facing behavior would lead one to conclude that she cares deeply about public perception. If McConnell's office were REALLY going to take a photo and release it, Chao would have put effort into her appearance. It's not like she's too stressed or overwhelmed by her husband's condition to worry about anything else, she flew to China right after he was admitted. Right now, it seems entirely possible that the images from McConnell's office are old or AI-generated. The longer that they refuse to provide actual evidence that he's alive, the worse this will get for them! What do you think is really going on? Please ❤️ and share if you don't buy the official story!

@NackHabitat @jzheng Just discovered this video that talks about the sex bolt... fb.watch/IBazcDMVC5/

@toybuilder @jzheng Oh shit! This could work too... thank you.

Who wants to help me figure out the name of the screw/hardware set I need to make this work? I can provide 100 blown kisses in advance.

@jzheng @NackHabitat That's what I said the first time I heard about them, too! boltdepot.com/Sex_bolts_and_…

Trump: Venezuela is a very happy place. They had a tragic event that took place a couple of days ago, a couple of weeks ago. They had a they had a movement, a shifting of earth that was unbelievable. I guess you would call it an earthquake.

@seveibar I wonder if some AI is able to pick this apart.

This is an AI-generated motor controller featuring an RP2040, there are some serious trace width issues but I'm actually curious about PLACEMENT- what do you guys think?

@blind_via Are there certain products/industries where underfill is prevalent? I've yet to encounter them myself...

Explicitly sealing with epoxy on the upper chip and lower chip. All the epoxy on the middle chip is by product. Not all the pins are covered so it wasn't the target application. How much epoxy do we need? Yes

President Trump promised not to add to the national debt during his presidential campaign -- and, in fact, that he would pay it down. He has failed badly on both counts. President Trump has become the worst-spending President in our history, adding ~$2.2-$2.3 T to the national debt in each of his first two years and in his second term. He's on track to add $9T+ in his second term, beating the previous high-water mark of $7.8T -- set by his first term. Only if you voted for President Trump, please reply with your feelings on this issue and his first 18 months more broadly.

@MLFootball That whistling? That's not cheering. That's booing. If you watched enough World Cup games, you'd know that.

🚨🚨BREAKING NEWS🚨🚨 THERE WERE VERY LOUD CHEERS AT METLIFE STADIUM FOR PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP AT THE FIFA WORLD CUP TROPHY PRESENTATION. The crowd was going wild for the President, and the building was basically shaking. WOW 😳

@TGatliff @debreuil It really does make soldering easier if the connection is to a large copper area that pulls heat away. Makes rework easier, too.

@debreuil @toybuilder As someone who has created millions of vias, I genuinely don’t understand the purpose of a via thermal relief. Sure, I do marking bits first on all the small ones so that the copper entry is pierced (aka bits last longer), but the thermal relief concept is a new one on me.

First rule of DIY vias: Add thermals where you can, or have software do this automatically. This traps the iron's heat. Use a hot iron and lots of flux. And by lots of flux, I mean goop it on like Dutch kids goop mayonnaise on french fries. Notice the difference with thermals:

If Trump is so concerned about voter fraud and election security, why did he gut and dismantle all of the agencies and tools in place to assure we have safe, free and fair elections?? Wake up! The Save Act is a voter suppression bill and Trump wants to rig the midterms. 🤬
