I just hope these two don't fuck everything up. I don't trust either one of them.

We must never have one under these conditions. There absolutely needs to be a more rational opposition party or the results will not be worth the paper they are printed on. @npub1z6y…qah3

Oh that's all we need. A constitutional convention could rewrite the constitution. It also could put many of the current laws into question and create chaos. This has been a goal of the GOP for decades now.

So much chaos is not good for business. Ultimately everyone in the US is going to feel the shocks from "Tariff-Man" and it's going to cause us all to pull back. Thus a recession is highly likely, a depression possible. Not to mention inflation, thus stagflation could rear its ugly head by the end of the year.
We are in completely uncharted territory.

It's science to look at a social experiment such as Georgia's immigration law before deciding to do so nationally. So therefore, they didn't look at the data, just the emotional desire to get rid of brown people. @npub16el…n8vf @npub1ra0…fzm6

The goal of the felon is to empower Putin. He has some kind of deal to make a ton of money when the rest of the world breaks. He doesn't care about anyone but himself and making a profit. @npub1h30…z24y

Covid seems to not hit people with O blood as hard or as often as A and B types. It also depends on how recently your last Covid vaccine was. Within 3 months, you have better resistance then it starts to wane. It's a bitch either way though. Feel better soon!

To state what I think is obvious, but Transparent Impartial Reporting is top, but it needs to include interviews with Experts and Analysis & Data to back it up.
Opinion pieces are also critical for us to hear from those who are experts in their fields. Hear their opinions on things helps me better understand what is happening.

Not unusual, not a breakdown, however, absolutely preventable. Talk about triple-speak nonsense. This administration is full of useless incompetent lackeys.

I had an old 33 record by Bill Cosby. I took the record out of the sleeve, snapped it into pieces, threw it away, and recycled the cover and sleeve. That was after he was found guilty. I don't know much about this character, but I understand the sentiment. @npub1t4l…djmz

We are unseasonably cold here in North Carolina, and as refugees from Florida, we feel particularly cold. I'm afraid our 11 years in Florida baked the New Jersey weather out of us, making us wimps for this winter season. We'll recover and be in good shape for next winter. But -3C is cold when normal is above freezing and 4-5C at least. And we lived for those 11 years where it never hit freezing overnight. I'll walk today, but not a meandering walk along the river as I'd like to.

Thanks, if it wasn't so bloody cold by us today, I'd most certainly be taking a long walk in nature to clear my mind. Instead, I'll wander through your photos today.

We have a small collection of crystals. This one I refer to as our portal. Because it reminds me of the #StarTrek Guardian of Forever.
It is an amethyst geode segment cut in half with the rear section trimmed off too. Here it is sitting on a black stand on our shelves. It's about 12" high by 15" wide.
Kirk in command uniform and Spock in science officer uniform stand by the portal in time.

What really needs to happen is these company's C-suite staff need to go to prison. They treat our data loss as a cost of doing business. It costs them less to send us to a firm like IDX than it does to ensure it doesn't get hacked.

The felon got less than 50% of the votes, they lost a seat in Congress, therefore, they do not have any form of mandate. Further, he did not win by a landslide, he won, but by one of the lowest levels in presidential history.
Let's not let him or "them" forget it. @npub1xw7…r9m5

Human nature being what it is, a weekly reminder will soon be ignored and not useful at all. @npub1zr5…7n3t

A suggestion based on my wife's experience is to allow the reminder to come at a particular point in her cycle so hormones are consistent. Once a month slowly moves off most women's cycle. Also, allow for a choice of the number of days to the next reminder. Some would probably use it more if it were quarterly, for example. @npub1zr5…7n3t

Yeah, I don't need the cancelation of the Sony's and wanted the better sound. People also claim the Sony's are more comfortable.

I have the Sennheiser Momentum 4 headphones. They double as a phone headset. They cancel noise well. The winners, I hear, are the Sony WH1000XM5 headset. But the Sennheisers have better sound and are just a tiny step down on noise canceling.
They have a transparency setting from pretty open to seal your ears quiet. If you play any kind of music or audio through them while canceling noise, you likely won't hear the house fall down. You might hear it through bone conduction, however.

The one time I took a relatively long and high dose of that I ended up eating 10 meals a day and was insatiable. I got my hearing back to an extent and gained about 18 lbs.

I too couldn't believe it. But the NY Times has an article about it, as do other "news" sources. It is truly a remarkable thing.

During a school trip we went to the local pond. The guy doing the educational talk caught a sunfish in his net. It was hurt and he said it probably won't survive in the wild. I said I'll take it home then. I took it home, got a 10-gallon tank with allowance money, and kept it alive for the next decade. It knew who I was and got animated when I walked into the room. Perhaps only because I fed it, but still. Sunny was its unoriginal name given to it by the 9 y/o me.

Art Of The Deal is the linchpin in the making of the myth. I read that book when it came out and I thought what a sleazeball. But others and far too many others, read it and came out thinking he was a brilliant businessman. How, I'll never know.

Or, think of a fleet of cars that carry more than one person at a time, perhaps up to 10 that use algorithms to allocate resources to optimize the use of energy and vehicles. People are picked up and dropped off without having to own a car. We end up with fewer cars on the streets. Also, virtually no accidents because we don't have drunks and texting people driving them. We use them energy efficiently by ridesharing for pickups and drop-offs.
It could work, shall we try?

In the 1970s the US allowed Japan to dump vehicles subsidized by keeping the Yen below real value. In effect dumping them below market value. To allow China to do that today is asking for the same effect.
I do agree with you that green energy is far easier than being made out. We shouldn't allow any non-hybrid or electric vehicle to be sold in the US, TODAY. Not in five years, now.
But I've been yelling about this for decades.

I'm still looking, this may be it: "If you are using a Directv Streaming box go into settings by pressing the button that looks like a house on your remote control and going all the way over to where it looks like a gear then hit ok then go down to system and hit ok then hit ok on display and hit ok then go down to power saving and then select ok to turn it off. This will keep the are you still watching message from popping up."

And they also have convinced young people that Biden, in particular, isn't doing what needs to be done. They have vilified him on Gaza and repeatedly as just an old man. But look how much our country recovered in the past 3 1/2 years. That's steady, statesman-like leadership.
