“U.S. dollars will bear the signature of President Trump later this year, the Treasury Department said, an unprecedented change to the nation’s currency that the department said is being made in honor of America’s 250th anniversary.
As a result, Mr. Trump is set to be the first sitting U.S. president to have his signature on the currency.”

Temperatures in California, Nevada and Arizona are 22-25 °F above normal. Temperatures are about to reach as much as 108°F. The heat will put some people's health in danger, and it's only the very beginning of spring. If part of July is 22-25 °F above normal, that will kill thousands, or perhaps tens of thousands. This is global heating.

They're going to start with hundreds, then add the smaller denominations later. Lucky for me, I mostly use the debit card.

Kanji are important, because ひまで can be written in multiple ways with different meanings. For example:
- 日まで = "until the day"
- 暇で = "in my free time"

TIL that adults with ADHD tend to experience sleep-like brain activity even while they are fully awake during demanding tasks. These moments are linked to more mistakes, slower reaction times, and lapses in attention.

this won't work because the forces needed to push whatever against the tire will wear out said tire before you get up the first hill. remember, it has to push itself, the bike, you, and your cargo.
use a chain drive.

it's double the wear on the tire, and yes if a toothed rim is an option then that will for sure be the best way to go.
i'm also worried about heat from the insane gear reduction needed.
definitely a cool experiment, good luck o/

Zelenskyy Says U.S. Is Conditioning Security Guarantees on Surrender of Donbas
New York Times is reporting that according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Don Trump “still chooses a strategy of putting more pressure on the Ukrainian side.”
https://archive.ph/tZ3XX
> The U.S. position aligns with a Russian demand that Ukraine hand over a roughly 50-mile-by-40-mile zone in the Donetsk region, part of the larger Donbas, as a condition for ending the war. Ukraine has refused, arguing that ceding the heavily fortified area would give Russia a staging ground for future attacks that would threaten not just Ukraine but also Europe... Simply handing over the land would allow Russia to escape the immense costs it would incur in trying to seize the territory militarily. Ukraine says such a push would take the Russian Army years and inflict hundreds of thousands of losses on it.
The US-Russian invasion of the largest nation in Europe, an ostensible US ally, needs to be unconditionally terminated.
