Really? Hmm, interesting it was so much more intense than the brake hold. I haven't had a chance to ride a tilt coaster so will take your word. I did get to ride an impulse coaster that had a hold and straight drop (Geauga Lake's Steel Venom/now Possessed) that was pretty fun. Guess if it's a similar sensation it'll be a good time.

I understand parks are looking to standout with unique offerings, but I'm really struggling to understand this coaster design. Tilt drop seems like a mediocre gimmick (is it really an improvement on valravn dive?), the train configuration is as vanilla as it gets, and the track design seems subpar compared to other offerings in the park. Maybe it will surprise me, I guess we'll see.

I'm not sure how to help with FOIA, but my sleuthing align with your findings, this letter never went public.

It's really not necessary, please. Go do literally anything else.

They've updated the maps, my personal district changed the last couple years. But the maps they are using are still the ones the court explicitly ruled unconstitutional, I think from 2022. Brennan center has a nice timeline.

prophetic nature of The Boys

"History doesn't repeat itself, but it often rhymes" Fascists always doing fascist shit, don't need to be prophetic when it comes from the same tired playbook.

As an ohioian, the current system isn't enabling some nobel pursuit of holding people accountable. It's blatantly "our team draws the lines, in a way that benefits our team, who can draw the lines next time, benefitting our team again"

And even after the R weighted supreme court rules "the lines are biased - throw out the map", they still find a way to use the map anyway. Yeah. Calling it a "repeal of gerrymander protection" is a joke and a half.

An anti-gerrymandering bill was introduced, this would take the power of drawing district maps away from a partisan committee made of all republicans, and give that power to a board of 15 people, including 5 reps from each party and 5 non-affiliated citizens.

The people who write the bill summary that appears on the ballot (republicans) worded it as "requires gerrymandering [...] in favor of the two largest parties". This clearly wrong summary was challenged in court, and the OH supreme court (republicans) has ruled this inverse description is legal, and will appear on the ballot.

We're in a position now where voters will have to vote Yes to 'gerrymander the district borders', to put this new bipartisan board in place.

If this seems muddy and confusing, it's because it is. Working exactly as designed.

The Ohio Redistricting Commission is responsible for multiple maps that have been ruled unconstitutional/biased, Vote Yes to reform Ohio's process for drawing district maps.

I have a problem with my International Space Station 21321 set, all the blue clips that hold the panels to the main beams are crumbling, and weakened enough that I wake up to panels on the floor. I have no idea why this is happening, but hoping someone can help? Ideas I can do different to prevent it after I replace these parts? It seems to effect all the blue clips not just the big ones, even the little pod lost one of its solar panels :(

Some details, it's probably 4 years old now. I keep it on display but not under glass, in a 72f room. I have difficulty keeping it totally dust free as it's very fragile to begin with, but it's never really been touched otherwise.

Thanks for any ideas

Edit: not the technic connectors, the blue solar panel pattern tiles are the problem

I undertook a sizeable upgrade today, bringing a skylake era build into the 2020s with a 13th gen. All core components- memory, motherboard, GPU, everything must go... except the drives. We were nervous, my friend really felt we should reinstall. There was debate, and drama. Considerations and exceptions. No, I couldn't let my OS go. I have spent years tweaking and tuning, molding my ideal computing environment. We pushed forward.

Well I'm pleased to say it was mostly uneventful. The ethernet adapter was renamed causing misconfigured dhcp, but otherwise it booted right up like nothing happened. Sorry, linux is boring now.
