`Unlike any other clock, this quantum watch does not utilize a counter and is fully quantum mechanical in its nature. The quantum watch has the potential to become an invaluable tool in pump-probe spectroscopy due to its simplicity, assurance of accuracy, and ability to provide an absolute timestamp, i.e., there is no need to find time zero.`

What the heck are you talking about?
Voting federally in Canada is a very simple process, and doesn't take much time. You cast one vote for one office. Of course it's done by hand. It's trivial to count the votes afterwards. Even the biggest polling stations can count their votes in an hour or two.
Other than the line to get to where you get your ballot, it generally only takes a couple of minutes to vote. Yes, it'll be longer if you're not registered to vote, as they have to verify you, but otherwise it's quick.
It has been this way as long as I've been voting, which is more than 3 decades.
This post stinks of disinformation, trying to dissuade people from voting. Why? Who are you? Who are you working for?
Blackmail and the Trump administration
The USA has raised the Jolly Roger higher up it's mast.
One of the City’s so-called magic circle law firms is the latest to strike a deal to provide pro bono legal services to the White House.
A&O Shearman had agreed to the arrangement in exchange for regulators dropping investigations into the firm’s diversity practices.
I’m giving a ‘special talk’ on April 12 (tomorrow) at 14:00 at @clab.tw 科技媒體實驗平台 in Taipei (Taiwan), about “Temporary and Distributed Libraries, active and independent librarianship”, as part of the great Radiotopia event co-organised by the Toolkit of Care project and C-LAB, with artists and activists using radio as a medium and a concept, curated by @shulea2, and coordinated by @stwst_linz (Linz, Austria) and @agenceapo33 (Nantes, France).

France accuses US diplomats of meddling with French companies through DEI 'diktat' / France 24
Trump administration asks French companies to comply with DEI ban / France 24
During his first 6 weeks in power, #Trump & his appointees have torn down many of the barriers that have long existed between the White House & the #DOJ to prevent political #interference in the impartial application of #justice & ensure the #independence of federal #law enforcement agencies.
But Trump, who was 2X indicted by the DOJ, has long viewed the agency as the center of “deep state” resistance to him.

A colleague said “I was volunteering at the pre-poll yesterday in Prahran #melbourne #australia and the Liberal candidate openly thanked the Advance people there for what they were doing…”

“The TikTok campaign paid for by the National Liberal Party fits a pattern of unethical strategies by the major parties, including the use of fake accounts, bots and trolls, and the creation of fake media sites to promote their candidates and attack their opponents,” says Liana Ganea: https://www.truthdig.com/articles/romanian-election-undone-by-tiktok/

@AlisonCreekside Yikes! “say with a lot of confidence that this is just part of the long running right-wing, pro-Trump influence campaign active on issues as diverse as Iran, Brexit and climate change denial.” Similar to @GeoffyPJohnston story recently. #Interference
Discovering and fixing a small mechanical interference in the spoilers.
The spoiler cap, in some places, wasn't fitting into the recess in the wing properly.
Why?
1st photo - spoiler is halfway retracted into the wing. One of the parallelogram arms is at a 45 deg angle. You can see that I have already removed some semicircular sections in the upper spoiler paddle to avoid parts colliding as the spoiler closes.
2nd - looking directly up into the spoiler paddle. There are spring loaded bolts to hold the spoiler cap. This particular bolt is rather close to a parallelogram arm...
3rd - ...especially when the arm is swinging more as the spoiler is almost fully closed.
4th - That telltale dimple on the parallelogram arm tells me everything. The bolt is a little bit too long.
A Dremel and cutting wheel removed 2mm of bolt.
Problem solved!
