I'm to the point where I feel like I need to give up social media and likely news in general for one reason and one reason only: I am fucking sick of the cruelty and the fact that it is so widely celebrated. It is simply beyond me that this president and his whole fucking party are fucking jubilant at the idea of immigrants...criminal records or no...are being shipped to 'Alligator Alcatraz'. Hot as balls, it took a good deal of water just from a simple rainstorm, and it's basically tents in the middle of the Everglades. What happens when the inevitable hurricane hits? Are these people evacuated out of there or will the fact that they may just have to ride it out where they are just something else these fucking mouthbreathing retards can whip their skippies over. What the fuck have we become?
And where the fuck is Congress? Where are the fucking guardrails that are supposed to be keeping shit like this from happening?
It's not humane. It sure as hell ain't Christian.
I'd like to think that the majority of people are mortified by all of this and it's impossible to believe that all we can do is wait for the next election cycle and pray that the majority of people see it for what it is. But I'm not sure that will happen.
Gooby pls-

Yes, they sent the victim’s families a letter about the plea deal. They were completely blindsided.
Maybe the DA’s office called, but they didn’t pick up the phone? Sending an email would be prudent at that point because giving notice is paramount. -
I know that Idaho has the State Victims Rights Act which requires the state to consult with the victims’ families for such a deal. I guess we will see at the change of plea hearing on Wednesday. I would at the very least they would be able to face him and make victim impact statements to him. Who knows? I would prefer for the sake of the victims that he make a complete confession but I don’t want to ever speak for them. If it’s my child I’d want to know why. But that’s me. And I do realize that with a whack job like him who is likely a psychotic sexual sadist we will never truly know WHY even if he tries to explain it. He serves no purpose other than target
practice in my view and I wrestle with those thoughts bc I pretty much don’t like the DP but if ever there was a case that fits it’s this.
We have similar victims rights laws in Texas. The key operative language is “consult with”. And so tbh our reading the Idaho statute, I would presume that victim’s families do also have an absolute right to make impact statements after entered has been pronounced.-

How you digging the XL?
Couple out of the Koda 16.
First got a little too aggressive with the moz, but underneath had a fresh pizza sauce built on cherry and early girls from the garden. Next level fresh sauce.
Loving it, but I did learn the hard way that I needed new peels with longer handles! -
Is social media vetting normal course for visa applications? -
I have a trailing stop order set at 10%. Floor at $103 currently.
What shall I do with the proceeds? Duh! Load up on IBRX! (Am I doing this right?)
Ended up triggering the order to sell at $117. Felt pretty good about it for a couple of weeks. Now, I haz ragrets. -
Is any other source reporting this? -
1.4 million followers...
questionsJust asking quetions...
lol. Yeah. He would totally do that, even though it doesn’t change her vote…and he can probably just veto the bill if he wants.-

I was seeing this from more skeptical journalists whose sources aren't only from Trumpworld.
Ok, but I read the article you linked and…help me out here…but where is the discussion of being close to a deal and what sources are they citing that are not from Trump world? -
hmmm. so the loyalty points thing is new this year?
could be an Arch Manning effect a bit. I bet it goes back down some after he graduates and those folks can't remember the QB's last name.
secondary market will be interdasting...If OU really sucks at football those tickets could get cheap.
These have always been the rules. It’s a demand issue this year that has given them increased effect, I guess. -
FYI, that’s not too dissimilar from Texas’ parole scheme, so you’re not proving what you think you are.-

Pretty wildly successful crypto IPO today. Circle CRCL.
Priced at 31, opened at 69, shot up to 103, now at 89.
Stablecoin firm Circle's shares more than triple in NYSE debut
I was able to get some shares in the IPO at $31/each. No clue how it will do long term, but I just wanted to try out some IPO action and happened to get some of RH’s allocation. -
Not a lawyer but I think you can request deferred adjudication. Some places the court clerk can OK it over the phone and sometimes the judge wants you to request in person. Do defensive driving and no tickets for 90 days and it gets dismissed
This is not a ticket. It’s a Class B misdemeanor. He needs to request a court appointed attorney if he can’t afford to retain one.-

I’m curious to know how the data, wrt to outcomes, efficacy, recommendations, etc. of annual COVID “boosters” compares to our approach to the annual flu vaccine.
-
There’s a lot to unpack here but the simplest version is that that there is a huge difference between an inflationary spike caused by a demand flood+supply shock vs a secular cost increase that doesn’t change the demand signal.
In the first situation (2022) a market leader will try float slightly behind the pack- stay a price leader but increase prices at the same rate as everyone else because there’s more buying power coming at you. In the second situation (2025) they deploy dry powder to consolidate and take share from less well capitalized or efficient competitors.
Of course an announcement like this pleases Trump and HD’s customers alike. But it’s also the right thing to do for the business if they can afford to do it without cutting into muscle.
Also, per Reuters, HD Is Exec. VP said:
"There's items that we have that could potentially be impacted from a tariff that, candidly, we won't have going forward if it doesn't make sense inside the line structure,".-

It had to be someone who ate there because the review talked about the family atmosphere, but the movie made it appear that nobody ever ate there except people that they knew. I don't know why this bothers me so much.
Yes. They explained this in the movie. There was a female Asian assistant to the NYT guy, whom he sent there to eat and write a review. She was there the last night of operation. There’s no plot conflict. They were not doing jack shit for business, like you said. Had one last night to operate. The reviewer was there because she was sent there.
ETA: I *think* this might have been revealed in one of the panels during the credits. -
Two unrelated issues, but I'll start a single thread...
- In a multi-stage remodel we did a couple of years back, we changed the flooring in the bathrooms, leaving a small gap between the floor and the moldings on doors in areas where we removed tile. The guy we had was good, unreliable, and well-priced. He no longer lives in the USA, so we are looking for a decent carpenter to fix this. Recommendations?
- Wife noticed water dripping out of one of the PVC pipes exiting the 2nd floor attic. 1 of our 2 tank gas water heaters (40 gals each in series) failed and the drip pan was doing its job (woo hoo)! Now I need to replace.
- With the annual freezes we are now having, would those of you with tankless still go with tankless? I assume I want the tankless outside of the house, so failure does not flood my house. Other thoughts or recommendations?
- I've used Proven Plumbing on a few things recently, and they've been competent. Any other recommendations, esp. if I decide to go tankless?
I stumbled upon Proven a few years ago and never looked back. I refer everyone possible to them. Just had them out to my new place yesterday to bid some work.-

I hate the Apple TV remote so much. Stick to Roku’s because it’s much more intuitive for me.
I also hate the Apple TV remote. I use the remote app on my phone 100% of the time, and it’s great.-

This new one I got is 24”. Fucking MONSTER. You’re probably right about the rotation, but I will definitely move it around to keep it in contact with hotter surface.

That Big Red homemade ice cream that ChampKind used to give out at Buck's BBQ was legit.
Erhine made that ice cream, so maybe he can share some intel. -
The person that plays the new assistant is the one that just married Gabby from The Bachelorette.
Her standup special was hilarious to me and her appearance last week on Mulaney’s Netflix show was also solid. -
Narrator: groceries are NOT down.
And literally ZERO tariff dollars are flowing into the U.S.
Also, I’m assuming that Turnip doesn’t know that the Fed is a Board of decision makers…it’s not just one guy calling the shots.-

Well, for one thing imports seem to be slowing down in a lot of sectors.
Guess what, if there are no imports . . . there are no tariffs.
Yeah…that and the money comes from inside our own country so there is no “profit” or actual revenue doing into the country.-

Texas -- a failed state
in Cloak Room

To be more fair, IIRC, one of Perry’s most influential money bundler/PAC people was on the board of the the pharma company that produced the vaccine to be mandated.
It wasn’t some legitimate rational decision based on wanting to do what was best for Texans.
