thnx random textbook from 1975 such great information /j

jokes aside the book is super interesting and (mostly) awesome. the name is Engineering Graphics (Giesecke et. al, 1975) and it has SO much cool stuff about hand drafting (pretty much drawing engineering diagrams by hand) and 3d sketching and so forth. picked it up from a local booksale for exactly fifty cents. of course its age does show sometimes hehe

Politician whose background is secret challenges one who released Epstein files

Supporters describe the gathering as an affirmation of faith and patriotism ahead of the country’s 250th anniversary, while critics say it promotes a narrow view of American identity.

Trump has said construction of the ballroom will be funded by private donors. But Senate Republicans are seeking $1bn in taxpayer funding to the Secret Service for security upgrades, including the ballroom, even though the bulk of the legislation is devoted to immigration enforcement.

Trump’s congressional allies are invoking complex budget rules to secure passage without any Democratic support. Democrats have opposed funding for Trump’s signature immigration crackdown absent reforms they have sought since federal immigration agents killed US citizens in separate incidents in Minnesota in January.

A researcher known as "Nightmare-Eclipse" recently released YellowKey, a security vulnerability that allegedly enables a full bypass of BitLocker's full-volume encryption. The researcher described YellowKey as one of the most "insane" flaws they have ever encountered and has also accused Microsoft of potentially embedding a legitimate backdoor in BitLocker's data protection system.

To no-one's surprise

The Senate official said the GOP bill needs to be reworked to comply with jurisdictional issues.

A GOP bill seeking $1 billion for the Secret Service to help finance Donald Trump’s White House ballroom is in jeopardy as it faces pushback from a top Senate official.

The Senate parliamentarian, Elizabeth MacDonough, said Saturday that the budget bill, which aims to fund ICE and Border Patrol alongside $1 billion to help fund the ballroom, needs to be rewritten to account for jurisdictional issues.

The parliamentarian wrote that the bill would be subject to a 60-vote threshold to pass, meaning it can’t move forward with a simple majority, unlike similar bills advanced using budget reconciliation.

Hope this helps someone!
