1) The House will shortly swear-in Rep-elect Mike Flood (R-NE). He just won a special election to succeed former Rep. Jeff Fortenberry (R-NE) who resigned after being convicted on federal charges

2) The new House breakdown is:
431 members

220 D's / 211 R's

4 vacancies: Former Reps. Delgado (D-NY) & Reed (R-NY) resigned. Late Reps Hagedorn (R-MN) & Young (R-AK) died.

3) D's will only be able to lose 4 votes on their side of the aisle & still pass a bill w/out R assistance.

I warped up a loom mostly by myself!

ICYMI: Now that the U.S. Military is focusing on issues like social justice, equity, white privilege, and LGBT concerns, they are having trouble meeting recruitment goals.

It turns out that many of the people who would normally volunteer to risk their lives for the country aren’t as interested in being lectured on their race or taught about pronouns.

The need for recruits has become so desperate that the army has even dropped its requirement for a high school diploma.

I'm a team assembler, not a host!

Surprise, surprise... after 16 years of providing free email, drive, etc for custom domains, Google is pulling the plug on the free edition and transitioning everyone over to a paid subscription plan as of July 1, 2022.

I'm guessing there will be a marked increase in self-hosting now, and then again in June.

I'll admit to having abandoned my self-hosted Dovecot and Squirrel mail approach 10 years back. Time to correct that mistake.

I created an archive of all 660 #nasa Apollo 11 Pictures: https://petabyt.dev/astro/etc/nasa-archive/

🤯It is common knowledge that the Terminator’s main #CPU is a 6502, but this contestant found that it is clocked by a radiation hardened, triple modular redundant, #555Timer circuit.
Today’s your final chance to enter the #555Timer. Submit your project➡️ https://hubs.la/Q011Pxry0

Look, I know this stuff is entirely pointless, and chews through CPU cycles for nothing of value other than the fact that it's fun, but I still want it. Part of me wants to go minimal and not have this kind of thing, and the other just thinks this stuff looks so cool.

And who said that what they teach in school is useless?
This alarm clock's buzzer broke, so I changed it with a spare speaker I had. But that was too loud, and I had no resistors to use, so I made a DIY one with a cup of water and some salt for tuning.

I've made a new file hosting service called Eggnog.

Files are XOR encrypted by default, with a 1 megabyte limit.

It's so profitable to sell customer data that Vizio now makes 2x as much from that than selling TVs. Until the govt outlaws this data collection, your only recourse to protect your ⁨#privacy⁩ is to buy things from the few companies left that respect it. https://gizmodo.com/welp-vizio-now-makes-twice-as-much-from-advertising-as-1848034943
