This is Trump bowing out of his ‘magnificent’ 12 day war. Anything from this point is a totally different war, because Donald totally made Iran great again, but they blew it, and deserve everything they get from here on in. Or whatever.

Is the current US/Israel coalition a threat to the free world? I mean, what if they don’t like our hair or food? They could attack and take out our infrastructure. They control weapons of mass destruction and are both trigger happy and deluded. Major paradigm change that needs to be acknowledged.

The reality here is that more than 50% of farm workers in California are undocumented. Not to mention construction, hospitality and retail. California’s industry is about to be destroyed so that Trump can ‘own the Dems’ and his wealthy associates can feast on the fallout.

LA. An ICE agent’s hand was hurt when a rock struck their windshield. The Edward R. Roybal Federal Building has graffiti painted on it. Some federal vehicles in a car park were vandalised. Hardly seems like the right time to call in troops.

I get in my little Isuzu and the key snapped off in the ignition!? Solution - grab some old pliers and grind them down until they’re REALLY small, then pull the key out.

My heater’s thermostats died so I created my own. 2 x ESP32s with temp sensors that get queried by a .net core app running on a Pi that saves to db and runs a web interface. It has two relays that turn the boiler on for hydronic convectors and heated slab.

www.carsguide.com.au/car-news/end... Interesting article, but it doesn’t mention the elephant in the room, namely the price. In Australia a Toyota Tundra has a $160k price tag. In the US they start at $40k.
