InstaVolt extends off-peak charging hours from 20:00-07:00. This must make it very appealing to anybody who doesn't have AC charging options... some of our neighbours just charge once a week at the council charger -this will provide a alternative option nearby with two more charging bays and more reliability.
This makes a lot of sense for them: I've already invested the capital in the chargers and back-end systems, this should keep the chargers busy during quiet times and if it causes some people to reschedule their charging -that provides more capacity at peak times.
Petrol stations never reduce their fuel prices at offbeat times or when it is sunny or windy.

Fay Presto is a pioneer of walkaround close-up magic, but her journey to legendary status wasn't easy. She is openly transgender, and was asked to leave the Magic Circle when she began her transition in the 1980s. Sadly, they didn't even allow cis women until 1991, at which time Fay rejoined.
She's now a Gold Star Member of the Inner Magic Circle, admired in and outside the fraternity for being fearlessly herself, despite facing prejudice even from her own colleagues.

This has been persistent through several GPU driver updates and I'm tired of trying to troubleshoot it. I don't know what the exact cause is. Any ideas?
Also, related note, how easy is it to migrate from one distro to another? I am thinking about trying something else - maybe base Fedora or Arch - to hopefully have better performance.

I wish selecting text wasn't a goddamn absolute travesty nowadays online!!
So many divs and invisible CSS/HTML shit going on, any minor extra pixel selected (or selection started at the wrong pixel) and your selection wildly changes to wrong thing or it's gone or it's everything.

Elections in Canada are solid. Elections Canada does a fantastic job and, as an arms-length entity, report to nobody but Parliament as a whole, not the government.
I mention this because I've been thinking that some people have been consuming too much US media and believe we have the same problems as they do.
We do not.
Canada does not disenfranchise people, for one thing, and getting people to the polls is part of EC's core mission.

"They argue that the 22nd Amendment only explicitly bans someone being "elected" to more than two presidential terms - and says nothing of "succession".
Under this theory, Trump could be the vice-presidential running-mate to another candidate - perhaps his own vice-president, JD Vance - in the 2028 election.
If they win, the candidate could be sworn into the White House and then immediately resign - letting Trump take over by succession."

So, the march of covers is done
And it was fun. I was surprised how easy it was to come up with things between SXM and my own memories of good covers, I didn't have to resort to looking in my collection for ideas until the last week or so. I also got one of my mini-goals done, and almost my other one, no songs were repeated, and we only repeated one artist, but in both cases, it was a partnership, and he was the only common element, so does that count as same artist?
This wasn't just a case of me tossing out songs either, for nearly every one of them, I researched the song, mostly on #Wikipedia , listened to the original and in many cases, notable covers if there were any beyond the one I shared. I also tried to only share covers that I thought were at least interesting if not transformative. I also had fun showing off how many genres of music I like, I mean how diverse was the songs?
So, if'n you missed any of the #music I shared, there is a public playlist for it on YouTube, go enjoy, and feel free to tell me what you think of any of my choices, or suggest better versions or other covers I might like.

Donald Trump has a nuclear meltdown after Special Counsel Jack Smith's investigation report is released
BREAKING: Donald Trump has a nuclear meltdown after Special Counsel Jack Smith's investigation report is released β revealing that the evidence was "sufficient to obtain and sustain a conviction" if the trial had gone to court.
This is a bombshell of historic proportions...
"The departmentβs view that the Constitution prohibits the continued indictment and prosecution of a president is categorical and does not turn on the gravity of the crimes charged, the strength of the governmentβs proof or the merits of the prosecution, which the office stands fully behind," Smith wrote.
"Indeed, but for Mr. Trumpβs election and imminent return to the presidency, the office assessed that the admissible evidence was sufficient to obtain and sustain a conviction at trial," he went on.
The 137-page report was delivered by the Justice Department to Congress shortly after midnight on Tuesday and the contents are utterly damning.
The document tears into Trump for attempting to undermine and destroy our democracy by reversing the 2020 election and for repeatedly encouraging "violence against his perceived opponents" in the weeks leading up to January 6th.
Smith wrote that Trump was clearly to blame for the Capitol insurrection and pointed to the fact that numerous convicted rioters testified that they believed they were carrying out Trump's wishes.
The report was the result of an exhaustive investigation and included interviews with over 250 people as well as grand jury testimony from over 55 witnesses.
Smith strongly suggested prosecution in the report, citing Trump's "unprecedented criminal effort to overturn the legitimate results of the election in order to retain power."
Trump lashed out at Smith over the report in trademark fashion with a frantic Truth Social postβ
"Deranged Jack Smith was unable to successfully prosecute the Political Opponent of his 'boss,' Crooked Joe Biden, so he ends up writing yet another 'Report' based on information that the Unselect Committee of Political Hacks and Thugs ILLEGALLY DESTROYED AND DELETED, because it showed how totally innocent I was, and how completely guilty Nancy Pelosi, and others, were," Trump wrote, lobbing some of his usual baseless lies.
"Jack is a lamebrain prosecutor who was unable to get his case tried before the Election, which I won in a landslide. THE VOTERS HAVE SPOKEN!!!" he added.
The truth is that Trump knows that he's guilty and that history will judge him accordingly. He may be in the White House for a few years, but he'll be a felon forever...
