Adhyayan Suman on working with father Shekhar Suman: We may live in the same house but when it comes to our profession, we have minds of our own - Exclusive - Times of India

Adhyayan Suman will be reuniting with his father Shekhar Suman on screen once again in the upcoming series, ‘The Kings of Mafia – Asia Chapter I’. What makes this project special from their earlier collaborations is that the father-son duo will be pitted against each other in this one for the first time. ETimes got in touch with Adhyayan for a freewheeling interview where he spoke about the crime…

Okay so I decided to generate a random zip code in the US and rate the transit in it, I got 07042 which is in Montclair, NJ.

The zip code covers the southern half of Montclair and much of the historic center of the town. It is home to 3 stops on the Montclair-Boonton Line which connects the city to New York, Hoboken and Boonton. It additionally has several bus lines in the city and out to other parts of New Jersey

There is decent density and walkability around the Bay and Walnut street stops but the Watchung Avenue stop is in a rather suburban area.

Overall with 3 stops in a roughly 3k acres, it has rather good walkability and transit access, as well as an art museum, I would give Montclair a solid 7/10

Zip code was generated here

Newxie brings the joy of nixies without the 170V power supply 💡🕰️✨

If there's one thing that melts our hearts, it's a nixie clock - we built one 20 years ago!

but nixies are hard to find now that we don't hit up the MIT swapfest at 7am anymore

well we saw this funky faux nixie clock

http://www.unitedcreation.co/marvel-tubes/

and realized they're just using the same 1.14" TFTs we stock already

so why not re-spin the breakout into a skinny right-angle-mount version? Instead of card edge, we have 2x7 right angle headers - both rows are the same contact, but this way, we get more mechanical stability. We kept the level shifting to work with 3.3V or 5V microcontrollers but dropped the micro SD card. You could stack these side by side on a breadboard with as little as 0.7" pitch!

Need to publicly shame this local school board a bit. I wish this would get out on bigger news. I live near here, and the only people talking about it are teachers.

On Thursday, the (heavily conservative) school board of Rutherford County, a massive suburb of Nashville, Tennessee voted to pass a resolution calling for the closure of the national borders. Their argument centered around complaining about how difficult and expensive it was to educate the county's growing ESL population.

This is so hateful, out of line, and insulting to our students. They're a disgrace to education as a profession.

Quali sono le regioni che si avvantaggerebbero della riforma?

Sono quelle che versano molte più tasse allo Stato centrale che questo poi restituisce in termini di finanziamenti. Una elaborazione della Banca d'Italia mostra quali sono le regioni che potrebbero veder tornare nelle proprie casse la quota di gettito fiscale "donata" al resto del paese, il cosiddetto "residuo fiscale".

Ad avvantaggiarsi di più sarebbero Lombardia (con 5. 090 euro per ciascun residente), Emilia Romagna (2. 811), Veneto (2. 680) Piemonte (1. 006), Toscana (852), Lazio (789) e Valle d'Aosta (231).

Complessivamente il Nord avrebbe in più, magari per istruzione e sanità, 2. 715 euro ad abitante, il Centro 514 mentre il Sud ce ne rimetterebbe 2. 451 a testa.

così tal Paolo Russo per LaStampa, via https://www.dagospia.com/rubrica-3/politica/autonomia-auto-secessione-ricchi-ndash-ad-avvantaggiarsi-399115.htm

Interesting. Grazie per i dati su una roba che non avverrà mai (chi sa leggere vede che tra LEP da fissare centralmente, perequazioni obbligatorie se no non si parte e concessioni a termine, è tutto un azzeccagarbuglio borbonico stile facite ammuina).

La cosa esilarante sul piano delle narrative, resta cmq. quel "il Sud ci rimetterebbe 2.451€ a testa". E' lo sdoganamento "solidarietà obbligatoria" aka furto dello statalismo socialista come se nulla fosse, con tanto di broncetto tra il saputo e l'offeso. In effetti, se la mamma regala 2.451€ a tutti i bimbi ogni anno ma a un certo punto, passati appena 75 anni smettesse di farlo, beh quelli ci rimettono di brutto.

Non è constatazione vittimista, è pena molto solidale per chi non comprenda come l'assistenzialismo crei fatalmente dipendenza e degrado, mai sviluppo, e sempre peggio.

Talking about Jameela Jamil and Emma Watson and Mermaids got me thinking about it again and i still can't believe the amount of shit they got away with (and are STILL getting away with) for so long. If you ever hear people saying we didn't know what was going on with Mermaids and minors before the 2020s: they're lying. We did know.

Scott swift on only doing things that make money

I have looked for before, wrongly remembering it as about a Tshirt and found it in that same interview

“Her dad… is very, very ambitious,” agrees Dublin producer Garret “Jacknife” Lee, who had a songwriting session with Swift at his home studio in Topanga, Los Angeles. “Goal oriented. Businessman to the marrow. The first thing he asked me was if I drove to the venue, and if I did did I own stock in Mobil. I said I didn’t. “He then asked if I brushed my teeth and if I did, did I own Colgate. I said I didn’t and he said ‘You’re an idiot’. He’s behind her. Knows money and what it means. He’s a go-getter. The mom is the family face, and makes sure everyone is having a great time – that the fans get treated well. Taylor is a product of both; she’s thoughtful and savvy with money. Own your own stuff.”

Voter suppression shenanigans afoot at the Circle K Capitol again. Despite the fact that there is NO evidence of immigrant voter fraud, and it is ALREADY illegal to vote in elections for noncitizens, this mess if it becomes law will require ALREADY REGISTERED VOTERS to provide either a valid passport - which only about a third of US adults have - OR a Real ID/equivalent military or federal employee ID AND a birth certificate -to document their citizenship at at the polls.

This idiocy is first of all burdensome, because if you don't have a certified copy of your birth certificate it costs between $20-30 and takes a month to get by mail if you don't have time to go to a vital record processing center during business hours (many people are not gonna be able to get time off to do that, and may not have ready access to a printer and a notary public to send in a request by mail - I'm using MN state requirements here as an example, your state might differ in some particulars). A passport can take MONTHS to be processed, and costs around $200 depending on whether you want a book or card, and whether you have $85 or so to shell out to expedite processing and shipping.

This will of course disproportionately affect

young voters - I mean, a lot of them have never had to interact with a system that doesn't allow you to just put in a credit card number and call it good as opposed to mailing notarized documents,

poor voters/seniors on fixed incomes, for whom time off, travel and administrative fees are a burden when everybody's already feeling the pinch of shameless greedflation

voters with insecure housing situations,

voters who have discrepancies between their birth documentation and state ID (married women, trans people)

It'll also impose a significant increased administrative burden for election commissions and judges (which are already hard to get enough of) , and because that increased paperwork isn't gonna file itself, a considerable unfunded mandate for the states that they don't EXPECT them to be able to absorb easily.

You know what to do. Call/write your senators and let them know in no uncertain terms to knock this shit the fuck off, this is shameless voter suppression in action and if they allow this to get voted into law, they have only themselves to blame if they're unemployed in January. It's unlikely that it'll pass - but unlikely isn't impossible, and this fucking year, I'm not giving it any more chances to screw us over. It's important to make sure your senators and reps know that you do not give a fuck about made-up immigration boogiemen.
