   The suspect relay in the Chicken Coop Door Controller has been replaced, and this morning the door opened as it should.
   
   I still don't understand how the relay could fail; it was/is only used for 30 seconds each day.

     @NYbill yea, mechanical failure is most likely the culprit, but I would expect more from a 12v automotive relay.

     @jezra If its use is "Continuous Duty" its a different class of relay. (learned this the hard way, um, ~3 times before i figured it out.)

   Bien está que periódicos y universidades abandonen la X que se comió a nuestro Twitter, pero irse a Blue Sky solo es pasar del absolutismo al despotismo ilustrado. Intenten dar un paso más, porque la libertad no la regalan, se conquista. Solo en las praderas del mastodonte se conquista la libertad. Es más difícil, sí, pero ya les he dicho que la libertad no se regala.

   Initial tests with Rubin's test camera, ComCam, showed the telescope was already nearly aligned before even looking at the sky — a testament to decades of work! With further testing, our team continued to improve data quality🥳

     🚀 Soy astrotrastornado al 1000%, pero hoy traigo 2 reflexiones muy crudas:

     - Los cohetes reutilizables son un gran avance, pero pueden traernos el fin de la utilización del espacio 👀

     - Los humanos no debemos ir a Marte, hasta que se determine si tiene algún tipo de vida 🙄

     Y en ambas cosas vamos mal 🤔

    I have decided to shut down the Twitter accounts for @blendernation and @blenderartists. With a combined following of 220k that’s going to hurt, but I can’t morally justify it anymore. More information will follow soon. #b3d #blender3d

    So the richest man in the world spent $130 million to elect Donald Trump.

    Now he's being put in charge of a "government efficiency" agency while controlling corporations with billions in government contracts that are also under federal investigations.

    See how this works?

    I went to the bank yesterday. Ahead of me in the queue were an elderly couple. They were depositing cheques into their account. Yup, cheques, plural. I hadn't realised cheques were still a thing.

    When I got home, I got out my old chequebook. The last time I wrote a cheque it was October, 2010. Even that was an outlier. The previous cheque was written in 2007.

    I was tempted to ask the couple why they were dealing with cheques, but, I had to deal with some even more old-fashioned cash.
