So it looks like it's going to finish burning the DVD but it just stops. It hasn't frozen as I can move the window, the program responds. IT JUST doesn't want to finish and eject the disc.
Idk if this is a plugin issue, my drive issue, the file I've selected. i just have no idea.
I'm using brasero if anyone can give me any advice.
Last year, Gov. Gavin Newsom called for a new constitutional convention to pass a gun safety amendment
and California lawmakers backed his plan.
Now, some Democrats fear the specter of a right-wing gambit to call a new constitutional convention,
leading state Sen. Scott Wiener to propose rescinding Newsom’s open call.
Wiener’s play sets the stage for friction in the statehouse,
as two ambitious California politicians square off on a topic with national implications.

I thought it was a bit warm yesterday...
Several cities broke record high temperatures. 79 degrees in Phoenix.
The testimony of Eleanor Rykener - the earliest surviving record of a trans person in the English language. She began living as a woman in the 1390s, working as a seamstress & sex worker, until her imprisonment by the Mayor of London. She may have later escaped prison in 1399.

Googie architecture represents the best of America. I live in Daly City, California, where even many of the homes are Googie-esque.
(Note that the Arby’s in this story’s lede wasn’t in a Googie building.) nytimes.com/2024/12/21/realest…

Seems Musk is not the only one doing back seat governing:
Oil Sector Lobbies Trump to Spare It from Tariffs and Regulation
"The proposals are spread across 42 pages of memos to 10 agencies the American Petroleum Institute is presenting to Trump’s transition team, which together outline how the president-elect can translate his “drill, baby, drill” pledge into action."
"Our new research surveyed 5,000 Australians and found almost half (49%) are angry about our warming world. So what do people do with their climate anger?
13 kinds of climate anger
One possible explanation for these findings is that anger could motivate #climate action, but if that action leads to nothing, the anger might curdle into despair or fade into resignation."

Is silence golden? What a change expert says about family climate conversations at Christmas time
"You’ve exhausted safe topics about the kids, the food, the weather… and [insert person] dismisses, discredits or denies the issue you care passionately about.
What do you do? Is it your duty to educate your loved ones and win them over? Or is it better to stay silent?"
