The Trump-Class Battleship May Be Another Montana-Class Battleship
The headline reflects comparisons between Trump’s newly announced Trump-class “Golden Fleet” and the U.S. Navy’s never-built Montana-class battleships—very large, heavily armed ships conceived in 1940 but made obsolete by World War II’s shift toward aircraft carriers, submarines, and escorts, leading to the Montana program’s cancellation before any ships were built.
Be Cautious When Buying ESP32-C3 Super Mini Boards Without Built-In Flash
Some “Super Mini” boards sold online use an ESP32-C3 variant with no built-in flash memory, meaning there’s nowhere to store your program. Espressif’s datasheet lists multiple ESP32-C3 versions—some end-of-life or not recommended for new designs—while the flash-equipped FH4/FH4X parts are the safer picks. The problem is that many listings don’t clearly state the exact chip variant; you often have to rely on chip markings in photos. If you end up with a flash-less board, it can be salvaged by wiring external flash, but that’s an extra hassle most buyers aren’t expecting.

He contrasts that era’s shared mass culture and stronger norms of free expression with today’s fragmented, audience-managed celebrity culture. The piece also highlights President Donald Trump’s remarks linking the honorees to “the fabric of America,” while noting Trump’s claimed involvement in the selection process.
