Addiction is a tough thing… Hard just to out it down.

NBC Early and mail in so far. 11am EST Nov 1 has 65 million votes so far. The battle ground only view is reflecting the OP’s article for PA.

I read the headline and was thinking, ‘no way Trump works out with Strava.’ As usual he has people who do that for him.

I’ve been working with this issue for along time. Trying to find something platform agnostic and works with vpns.

App wise, I suggest Localsend for files

Information wise, I suggest Saladroom although there are several alternatives as well like ToffeeShare and ShareDrop

I mostly use Signal though, as it’s the simplest at hand app which fairly reliably makes it accessible to my various devices… With the downside of storing it.

‘Be like Officer Michael Dieck and get away with murder.’ My nightmare vision of how they are recruiting.

“The offices of the Central Social Institution of Prague, Czechoslovakia with the largest vertical letter file in the world. Consisting of cabinets arranged from floor to ceiling tiers covering over 4000 square feet containing over 3000 drawers 10 feet long. It has electric operated elevator desks which rise, fall and move left or right at the push of a button. to stop just before drawer desired. The drawers also open and close electronically. Thus work which formerly taxed 400 workers is now done by 20 with a minimum of effort.

Ah, yes… How could my mythbuster lessons in explosions leave my memory?

Harris has said that she wants legislation implementing the tax cut to only apply to the people we traditionally think of when we think of tips: waiters, maids, caddies, and other service-industry customer-contact workers.

Trump, on the other hand, has refused to limit his no-tax-on-tips proposal to such workers, opening up the possibility that big banks, insurance companies, hedge funds, and other companies that traditionally have paid year-end bonuses — sometimes in the millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars — could simply reclassify their bonuses as tax-free tips.

**Adding to the confusion should Trump’s plan go into place, the Supreme Court earlier this year expanded the definition of tips when they ruled that if politicians or judges are paid bribes, but the payments are made *****after ***the politician or judge does the requested favor, they’re no longer bribes but, instead, merely tips.

Jesus H. f#$k Christ, let’s not normalizing bribes.

Someone correct me, but that looks like natural gas or LPG, turning into a what amounts to a fuel air bomb. I’m assuming it’s a secondary to an attack.

I think their point is that we need to change the law. But yes, let’s not normalize this or the billionaire will start regularly paying.

is exploiting a legal loophole to pay America’s blue-leaning non-voters… This whole thing should probably be illegal—so quick, give us your money before they change the law!,

Among the worst offenders is plastic, a material that is largely unregulated and can contain thousands of chemicals. Silicone and coatings on metal cans can also contain toxic or understudied compounds, Geueke said. Many paper and cardboard products were until recently treated with PFAS and can contain a layer of plastic.

Lots of good ones in there. Thanks!

B1M is great, Mega Projects and others of Simon’s channels are good (some better then others). Wendover is amazing, I just wish he out more out, but the production quality is probably to high to increase the rate.

I’ll have to check the rest out. :)

As I said in the other comment, PreRun mentioned the same. It’s actually impressive to see how well Ukraine has adapted to EU/NATO/Western standards whilst in a war. More ways Ukraine is winning this, or at least staying afloat.

I read this on the 14th or so and did a face palm. Floridaland is for the alligators apparently.

Additionally, the federal government has failed to provide sufficient data to support the safety and efficacy of COVID-19 boosters, or acknowledge previously demonstrated safety concerns associated with COVID-19 vaccines and boosters, including:

• prolonged circulation of mRNA and spike protein in some vaccine recipients,

• increased risk of lower respiratory tract infections, and

• increased risk of autoimmune disease after vaccination.

And my favorite:

• Potential DNA integration from the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines pose unique and elevated risk to human health and to the integrity of the human genome, including the risk that DNA integrated into sperm or egg gametes could be passed onto offspring of mRNA COVID-19 vaccine recipients.

Apparently we are at risk of covid immune babies!

Yes… But what rate are they producing? Bloody article.

Guessing it’s lower then the 2000 shot daily. I know the US is ramping up it’s own production of 155.

Economists at JP Morgan, the largest US bank by assets, published a research paper on de-dollarization in 2023.

In reference to the global economy as a whole, they concluded that, “while marginal de-dollarization is expected, rapid de-dollarization is not on the cards”.

However, they argued that, “Instead, partial de-dollarization — in which the renminbi assumes some of the current functions of the dollar among non-aligned countries and China’s trading partners — is more plausible, especially against a backdrop of strategic competition”.

The JP Morgan economists added, “This could over time give rise to regionalism, creating distinct economic and financial spheres of influence in which different currencies and markets assume central roles”.

This seems inline with the Chinese leadership game of influence, as well as the clown show that the US has become. Even with the interest still there from the US standpoint two decades of GWT, the lack of prioritize spending on following our so called values, the very high debt to GDP ratio we are running, the lack of real legislative ability, plus other challenges, all make the fundamentals seem less fundamental. Although China very much has it’s own issues such as an excess of manufacturing, a housing bubble, and a very steep demographic bubble. So their fundamentals are seemingly similar in question, but they have a marked ability to pivot quickly and do seem to be using their status as the 2nd largest economic to garner the same level of influence.

Whether either has staying power of economics and global influence for the next 50 years is a very interesting question.

I certainly don’t count the US out yet, but even if the election settles things down, there is some real work to do which has little to do with the current hotly discussed policy topics. I’d be curious about your opinions?

Want countries to re-dollarize, you have to incentivize the, which probably means making the US the dynamic yet stable economic it was. Punishing countries, how laughable.

I think that ship has sailed though, as globalization has caught up yet again.

What in the world are they digging for?

So don’t bring your submarines into the area. Brilliant!

I did a quick search and they don’t make it easy. Peter Lowe’s ad and tracking server blocklist is the only one I found. EasyList doesn’t seem to have a donation link, nor Dan Pollock at someonewhocares.org. Also worth noting that UBO doesn’t take donations. You could always subscribe to AdGuard, but that’s mixed.
