Born to Squint, Forced to See ⚜️
Pullen estimated more than 200 people were inside the nightclub. Also among those detained were a dozen active-duty military members who either were patrons or working as armed security. Some patrons were arrested on undisclosed outstanding warrants, Pullen said.
On an island with ample food sources it really isn’t all that crazy, compared to the many things I have heard of dogs surviving.
There was a dog that got lost on Saint Lawrence Island in the winter, which apparently crossed the sea ice all the way to Wales, AK over 160 miles away. I think they believe the dog managed to catch and eat birds along the way, as there was quite literally nothing else he could have eaten.
That is quite insane. I cant imagine how I would survive on foot trying to make it 160 miles away, let alone if that entire 160 miles was just barren ice
A lot of us dont want any of this, but also arent either the autocrat in charge, the billionaires who bought him, nor are we the military that can stop him.
As much as a lot of us would stop this immediately if we could, we also dont need to let Trump have his Tienammen Square moment. The military should have removed him the moment it was clear that he is hell bent on destabilizing our country, our region, and the world at large.
This particular situation is pretty dark though. It seems like it could be a purge of anyone who wouldn’t blindly follow even completely illegal orders. Like using the military against the citizenry, or otherwise for domestic purposes
In the theoretical sense, digital sound files have over double the potential dynamic range of the best cassette tape or vinyl. CDs are better, but still well below what can be done with digital files.
The issue is that most digital formats are so compressed that they end up with 1/10th the dynamic range of a cassette tape.
So its more like analog is “better” only because we need to improve storage and up/down speeds before we can truly enjoy how much better digital can be compared to analog. Its just not practical yet
Another version of this is people waiting at gas stations offering to buy your gas if you pay them in cash, while taking a discount obviously.
They get cash, you get cheaper gas. Ive never accepted the offer, but been solicited several times
On Reddit at least, it seems like the answer to that depends on the political conveniences of the situation at hand
Id trust it more if they had said the 15% of Republicans that disprove of his immigration policy said that because they think he hasnt gone far enough
I think it would be quite reasonable for any lawyer who files something that includes references to case law that doesn’t exist to simply be disbarred.
The courts are backed up enough without having to deal with this bullshit. And it shows clear lack of concern for properly representing their client
You wont give money to the bums, on a corner with a sign; bleedin from they gums
Talkin bout you “dont support a crackhead”.
What you think happens to the money from yo’ taxes?
Shit the government’s the addict, with a billion-dollar-a-week kill brown people habit
And even if you aint on the frontline, when massa’ yell “crunch time” you right back at it
I would assume they are talking about the grade of cheddar that you can buy alongside fancy cheeses. Like, cheddar off a wheel
If only they hadn’t sprung for the “e”
A group of Yale University classmates of Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent urged him in a letter to reconsider his role “in facilitating the Trump administration’s intended transformation” of the U.S. “into an authoritarian state.”
As of Friday, 140 members of the Yale Class of 1984 signed the online letter to Bessent, a member of that class.
It argues that “so many” of the actions of President Donald Trump and his second administration are unconstitutional and undermine the principles of democracy.
The signatories include lawyers, CEOs, journalists, playwrights, a pastor, college professors, a farmer, and social workers.
The letter to Bessent says that he, as a Political Science major at Yale, knows “that the three branches of the U.S. government are meant to act as equal partners, providing checks and balances on each other to prevent the kind of power grab the executive branch is currently perpetrating.”
The missive then ticks off a list of examples of what it says are the Trump administration’s efforts “to usurp the power vested in the judicial and legislative branches … for their own personal aggrandizement, wealth, and power.”
Tree law in this country is not governed by reason!
