I have followed the #TrumpTrial pretty closely & my takeaway from today is that it is effing appalling that #Trump, his admin, & his #DoJ in particular, stand credibly accused by #Cohen of obstructive & corrupt activities far beyond anything charged here, & the faux pious #Speaker of the US House is there to bless all of it. Just shocking. #msnbc
Only 11 #Republicans supported the move to “table” a measure by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), while 196 Republicans embraced keeping Johnson in the speaker’s job. #Democrats also overwhelmingly voted to save the GOP speaker, 163 in support of keeping him & 32 against doing so. The overall vote was 359 - 43, w/ 7 Democratic lawmakers voting present.

So I built a 2x2x1ft
box for a 10in woofer to use as a bass cab (mentioned before).Then I got a "bass" speaker (not) (Jensen MOD 50).
Now someone tells me it should be ported.
Other than building 100 cabinets with different port sizes and locations, what's a good way to do it right?
Buy a used bass cab, huh.
Phooey. It's okay.
...but what if it were BETTER?
Ugh. #bass#speaker#cabinet

The tiny 400mAh #LithiumPolymer#battery in this cheap #Bluetooth#speaker turned into a puffed up pillow. I've replaced it with a 350mAh one I salvaged from a single-use disposable #vape device. In spite of the lower capacity, it is significantly larger than the original battery. Hope it can still fit in the available space.
Also fitted a JST connector to the speaker wires in case I need to disassemble again for a future #repair.

#Speaker Mike #Johnson swiftly derailed the #Senate’s bipartisan aid package for #Ukraine, but he’s left the door open to a new proposal emerging in the #House.
Behind the scenes, Johnson has met privately with House #Republicans who have been trying to build support for a new bipartisan foreign aid package that includes restrictions on the #US border with #Mexico.
Speakers from 23 parliaments have appealed to the #Speaker of the #UnitedStates#House of Representatives, #MikeJohnson, urging him to consider the bill passed by the #Senate, which provides for the allocation of $60 billion to #Ukraine, the Speaker of the Ukrainian Parliament Stefanchuk said.

#Speaker#MikeJohnson delivered a presentation at a weekend #GOP retreat that — although it was billed as a map to keeping the #House majority — took on a surprisingly #religious tone, acc/to 2 people in the room.
Johnson’s private remarks to a small group of #Republican lawmakers in Miami over the wknd alarmed both people…. Rather than outlining a specific plan to hold & grow the majority, …Johnson effectively delivered a sermon.
The #speaker contended that when one doesn’t have #God in their life, the govt or “state” will become their guide, referring back to Bible verses…. the approach fell flat among some in the room.
“I’m not at church,” one… said, describing Johnson’s presentation as “horrible.”
🧵 1/2: No #UKNews outlet is able to explain what happened in #Westminster today over the #ceasefire vote. Let me explain: #Parliament used to be a place for representatives of the people to debate & vote legislation that benefit citizens & represent their aspirations. Yes #lobbyists have always existed but overall, #MPs believed in their mission & in the importance of parliamentary rule. Today however, parliament is only a farcical theatre to boost #electioneering while obfuscating real policy
When #House#Speaker Mike #Johnson (R-LA) insisted in October 2023 that a border bill be passed in exchange for aid to #Ukraine, he never expected to pass immigration legislation. After months of fruitless effort in immigration negotiations, it is clear Johnson’s goal was to prevent the House of Representatives from voting on Ukraine aid. So far, he has succeeded.
