James AkersFixed this one today. I do enjoy the warmer weather, and they were kind enough to let us eat have lunch and a drink inside when our work truck wouldn't start. To keep the transformers out of the water, I bent this metal shield. I also put transformers on the R and the B- os they have their own transformers instead of sharing one- a little more robust. I did leave the other letters alone (except for the A and R on the more paint chipped side, I remade those). The electrodes on the "A" cant be any further apart. I really should note that on my pattern. When your working with a tracing of a tracing, its tricky. I gotta digitize these patterns.We actually have 2, 60ma transformers powering the 4/6 letters. I put in two, 30ma transformers. The lower current is less bright, but human eyes are really bad at seeing brightness. I bet you cannot tell which R and B are dimmer than the others ;)<a href="https://expressional.social/tags/neon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#neon</a> <a href="https://expressional.social/tags/conservation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#conservation</a> <a href="https://expressional.social/tags/nyc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nyc</a> <a href="https://expressional.social/tags/neonsign" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#neonsign</a> <a href="https://expressional.social/tags/repair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#repair</a> <a href="https://expressional.social/tags/glass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#glass</a> <a href="https://expressional.social/tags/servicecall" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#servicecall</a> <a href="https://expressional.social/tags/neonlights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#neonlights</a> <a href="https://expressional.social/tags/manhattan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#manhattan</a> <a href="https://expressional.social/tags/earinn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#earinn</a>

Tim Zee<a href="https://universeodon.com/@jaykuo" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@jaykuo</a> He ran a near perfect campaign and did what Dems need to do to win: get out into the neighborhoods and listen to people - not preach at them. The only sure way to get around broligarch social media and cable is to interact with voters one to one. Dumping a ton of cash on TV and social media ads did not work for Cuomo. We need to learn from this election campaign.

Tinker ☀️A key part of the New York City mayoral races was Ranked Choice Voting.I'm not seeing many news articles mention this yet (correct me if I'm wrong though!).Ranked choice let's us vote first for who we actually want.... and then put in backup votes for "good enough" candidates and allows us to compromise and find common ground.It destroys the concepts of "lesser of two evils" and "throwing away your vote".I hope we see Ranked Choice voting everywhere.<a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/newYork" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#newYork</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/NYC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NYC</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/NYCMayor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NYCMayor</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/ZohranMamdani" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ZohranMamdani</a>
