Well, a civilization died tonight.
It was ours. Congress didn't step up and stop him. No one in power invoked the 25th Amendment to remove him. We failed, utterly, as a civilization.
In the process of stripping wires, a wire stripper I have used for 3 decades bit the dust. The grabber piece broke. Cheap, and fairly durable, considering.
I resorted to the old-fashioned method. A cutter on needle-nose pliers.
I'm at the point where I have to configure the inverter. Everyone is powered up. No smoke. No flames. No unusual messages.
The comms part is confusing because I have 2 Asian translations competing to make sense, and there are several protocols I could use. I hope to get the box recharging tonight.
It's like having a rack from the ISS in my place, but we're good.
@joynewacc We’re almost at 90% of our goal!
https://gaza-verified.org/emergency/
We’ve got just $1,644 left to raise from our goal of $15,000.
And, thanks to you, we’ve gotten to this point in mere hours tonight.
It’s so lovely to see the happy messages in our Signal group from the families who are watching the progress. (One of the things I’m happy about is that we’re getting folks on Signal and, eventually, hopefully, away from WhatApp. Also the group is providing a space where the families can help each other locally.)

I don't know how many times I need to say this - I literally only need one million pounds. There is all of this money in the world being spent on things we don't want or need that are actively harmful for the planet and for humanity. For one million pounds I am prepared to write a song, do a little dance, make a little love, get down tonight.
It's so little to ask. So meaningless to these people. I am prepared to also do positive marketing for them. For example - I think that google actually probably *isn't* one of the most evil corporations on the planet - a cancer that is destroying everything. A vile example of the depths of avarice that the worst of humanity will sink to. One million pounds please.
I don't drink very often, but I'm having a few beers tonight.
It's one of those nights.

Because why the fuck not? :kek:
Hope everyone's doing okay tonight.
It's 1 am here and I'm bored as hell.🤷♂️
I guess if that's one of my only problems, then I'm alright.
