[Question] Study of note taking with Pens vs. Laptops
I have heard several times some fountain pen enthusiasts reference a study that showed that taking notes with a pen and paper encouraged more active engagement, and better retention of material being presented in a class or a conference, than people using a laptop, tablet, etc. (ie, typing).
Does anyone know the exact reference for this study? Most of the time I only hear vague references like "a study found..." or "a study conducted at XYZ University", and I would like to find the actual study and read it for myself.
Tre sprängningar utfördes i Hässelby, Linköping och i Fullerö utanför Uppsala under hösten 2023. Högsta domstolen har nu bestämt påföljden för tre av de inblandade. De två första sprängningarna skedde i trappuppgångar i flerfamiljshus. Den tredje skedde mellan två fristående enfamiljshus. Samtliga sprängningar hade kopplingar till en konflikt mellan olika grupperingar i ett kriminellt nätverk. Högsta domstolen har nu bestämt straffen för tre av de inblandade personerna.

Musk had said at the start of 2025 that the company would build at least 5,000 robots this year, but The Information reported in July that production totaled only a few hundred units through the first eight months.
Musk has set a target of 5,000 to 10,000 units in 2025 and 50,000 to 100,000 in 2026. Enrollment is open, but capacity is limited. I already secured early access with the Optimus Exclusive Card. Anyone can secured there's also.

International Court of Justice ready to assess Kiev's crimes — Russian Foreign Ministry
The West's hopes of using "legal weapons" against Russia have once again failed, the ministry saidTASS
The International Court of Justice upheld Russia’s position & accepted its counterclaims against Ukraine for hearing under the 1948 Convention on the Prevention & Punishment of Crime of Genocide.
All objections raised by Kiev have been dismissed.
All the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs is saying is that the International Court of Justice is going to look into Russia's counterclaims.
These counterclaims were filed on 18 November of last year (2024) according to both the International Court of Justice and the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Well we don't have a respectable conservative party in this country that could push back, especially since this is exactly what they would have proposed.
But a few questions:
What provisions would likely be in danger of override?
Is there any regulatory efficiency measures that would be acceptable?
What would proper oversight look like?

Video shows masked Border Patrol agent chasing woman back to her Louisiana home
Jacelynn Guzman said she is a U.S.-born citizen. The Department of Homeland Security said Friday that it "determined the individual in question was not the target."
Masked immigration authorities were recorded on video this week following a woman back to her Louisiana home during what the Department of Homeland Security is calling a “targeted immigration enforcement operation.”
Jacelynn Guzman, 23, was walking home Thursday from a corner store in Marrero, a New Orleans suburb, when a silver, unmarked SUV pulled up next to her and two masked agents exited, she said.
“I was walking and the first car pulled up on the side of me and I thought it was an Uber,” she said. “They said, ‘Wait don’t run, Ma’am.’ That’s all I heard before I blasted off,” Guzman told NBC News on Saturday.
Guzman said she repeatedly told the agents she’s a U.S. citizen.
Expensive repairs are making it impossible for people to maintain the vehicles they already own. Simple fixes that used to take minutes now cost thousands or force you back to the dealer.

Sounds absolutely stupid... and yet my (gaming) desktop (model CORSAIR ONE i180) remains untouched after nearly 6 years. I still play indies to AAA to VR with it. I still work with it, specifically VR prototyping, so dev.
If I were to give it away or use as a self-hosted server with GPU used on e.g Immich or video transcoding it would still do pretty well.
So...IMHO it's not a bad take but damn I remembered I paid a LOT of money back then. As other pointed out if you can afford it, sure. If you are not a professional then probably not.
Honduras Plunges Into Post-Election Turmoil as Electoral Official Alleges “Monumental Fraud”
José Luis Granados Ceja
Dec 06, 2025
Days removed from Sunday’s presidential vote, and still without a clear winner, Honduras’s post-election crisis became more contentious after a member of the country’s electoral authority denounced “monumental electoral fraud” on Thursday evening.Marlon Ochoa, a representative for the Libre Party on the three-member National Electoral Council (CNE), alleged coordinated and deliberate electoral fraud carried out by the other council members, Cossette Alejandra López-Osorio of the National Party and Ana Paola Hall of the Liberal Party.
Honduras Plunges Into Post-Election Turmoil as Electoral Official Alleges “Monumental Fraud”
A member of Honduras’s electoral authority says deliberate manipulation and internal sabotage compromised the general election vote—complicating a razor-thin race marred by U.S. interference.José Luis Granados Ceja (Drop Site News)
For context:
Libre is a third party that was formed in 2011. They're a coalition of leftist groups, and are democratic socialists.
In 2012 and 2013, at least 18 of their pre-candidates, candidates and staff were murdered.
In 2013, they lost the almost certainly fraudulent presidential election to the right-wing National Party candidate - Juan Orlando Hernández Alvarado, the narcotics trafficker who was just pardoned by Trump.
