Putin has signed a decree on spring military conscription.
According to the plan, 160,000 people will be drafted, which is 10 thousand more than last year (and the highest number in 10 years).
Putin promised coscripts wouldn't be sent to war. However, coscripts have been taken captive and found killed in his "special military operation."

Prime Minister of Slovakia Robert Fico said that during a phone call on tariffs with Ursula von der Leyen, she called him "a complete idiot."
"She absolutely tore into me: 'Robert, what have you done? Why on earth did you negotiate with Trump like that? Are you OK?' She berated me for half an hour, [saying] that I am a complete idiot for being there, for talking to Musk, and for not putting it out there for the world to see," he said.

A Game Boy Speedometer, just because you can.
The “world’s worst digital dash”, a Nintendo Game Boy as a digital speedometer. Interfacing the handheld with the vehicle’s CAN bus system, this project has something to offer.

Showing real-time vehicle speed on the Game Boy sounds like it should be relatively easy, but the iconic game system wasn’t exactly built for such a task. Its 2 MHz CPU and 160×144 pixel dot-matrix screen were every kid’s dream in 1989, but using it as a car dashboard is pushing it. To bridge that gap, [John] designed two custom circuit boards.
One interfaces with the Game Boy, intercepting its memory requests and feeding it data from a microcontroller. The other processes the CAN bus signals, translating speed information into a form the Game Boy can display. [John] used inexpensive tools and software to read the CAN bus data, and used GBDK-2020 to write the software in C.](https://friendica.hellquist.eu/photo/preview/640/4762726 "[ImageSource: John Sutley]

Daylight savings time and myocardial infarction
source: pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/…
There was no difference in the total weekly number of PCIs performed for AMI for either the fall or spring time changes in the time period analysed. After adjustment for trend and seasonal effects, the Monday following spring time changes was associated with a 24% increase in daily AMI counts (p=0.011), and the Tuesday following fall changes was conversely associated with a 21% reduction (p=0.044). No other weekdays in the weeks following DST changes demonstrated significant associations.
