What Newsom is selling about trans people is what Trump is selling his base about trans people: "your life will be better if trans people's lives are worse." It's not a purity test; it's about rejecting a politics that sells you empty promises in…

The image depicts a futuristic cityscape with towering white structures featuring domed tops and various protrusions. In the foreground, a person stands prominently, wearing a bright orange jumpsuit with a high collar and a name tag on the chest. The jumpsuit has a belt with a device attached, and the individual wears round sunglasses. The background shows a clear blue sky with a flying vehicle, possibly a spacecraft, adding to the futuristic ambiance. The overall color palette is dominated by the orange of the jumpsuit, the white of the buildings, and the blue of the sky, creating a striking contrast.

QUICK PAID OPPORTUNITY HELPING ANSWER A BASIC ARDUINO QUESTION
My friend is desperately trying to finish making their kids birthday present based on an Arduino project found online.
They're offering $20 USD per 10 minutes ($120/hr!) for someone to get on a quick Jitsi call with them asap and just tell them what wire needs to be attached where.
They're basically on step 2 of building this:
instructables.com/Rat-Operated…
...inspired by @mwl 's ratoperatedvehicle.com.
It's using an Arduino Uno compatible board (from an Elegoo Robot Car v4).
Please DM me so I can put you in touch, or forward / boost to help reach someone who can help. :)

I'm back at a PC, so I found the code.

//configure the touch sensors
const byte forwardInputPin = A0; // the forward touch sensor - black
const byte leftInputPin = A1; // the left touch sensor - white
const byte rightInputPin = A2; // the right touch sensor - red
Thanks for looking that up @mwl !
The question is where to attach the wires. It looks like (the digital?) pins 3,5,6,7,8 but where do the other ends attach? Ditto the wires attached to the resistors on the breadboard. What's attaching the breadboard to the Arduino (electrically)?
There's so many simple questions that would be quickly answered on a call, without little ADHD ol' me forgetting to relay messages until time runs out.
Would you be game to do a paid Jitsi call for a few minutes?
Australia got off on a technicality for its climate inaction. But there are plenty more judgement days to come
The judge found Australia had not used the best available science to set emissions targets. The finding tightens the screws on Labor as it weighs our 2035 targets.The Conversation

in reply to how to do anything • • •The image depicts a man in a blue shirt and a white cap, engaged in a prayer-like gesture with his hands raised and palms facing upwards. His eyes are closed, and his expression appears serene. The background shows a window with a blue sky visible through it, and a plant is partially visible on the left side. The man's hands are positioned in a manner that suggests he is in the midst of a prayer or supplication. The overall setting appears to be indoors, with a neutral-colored wall behind him.
