The whole Gulf of America change was Trump finding a loophole for offshore drilling.
Biden banned offshore drilling in the Gulf of Mexico.
Ok. It's the Gulf of America now, drilling is back on the menu. Drilling isn't banned in the Gulf of America.
You're not voting directly for the president. Really, it's choosing electors for the presidential race.
The presidential race isn't the only thing on the ticket. There were state and local measures on ballot that have more bearing over my day to day than the current president.
My dad had always told me Bridge on the River Kwai was a great movie.
I just watched it for the first time about a month ago. He was right, it really is a fantastic movie.
I am most disappointed that he also created Secret Hitler, which is just "Werewolf" or "Mafia" with extra steps.
The Sennheiser headsets last 4-5 times as long as any other option, for me. I scoffed at the price when someone recommended them, but they tend to be more durable in my own experience.
I really liked Plantronics Rig which came with a USB mixer, you could flip the audio over to a cell phone to make a phone call. But the damn headset broke every year like clockwork.
Someone is laundering money through her onlyfans account.
He was paid not to joke about things on everyone's mind. Who sponsored his special, Netflix, HBO?
Acquired in 2018, so they ran out the 4 year cliff on their acquisition stock awards.
I have donated to them in the past. Because I thought it was important that Linus and Greg Kroah-Hartman get paid for working on a project that has enriched my life and career. I imagine there are a lot of boomer and gen X neck beards, who felt similarly and that keeps the donations rolling in.
However, when I saw the Foundation putting Linus in timeout, and getting involved in vaccine passport systems then I was pretty much done with the Foundation.
They named it Red Hat, because Marc Ewing was always wearing a red hat around the CMU campus. So it was sort of his nickname. i.e. "the guy in the red hat, fixed my computer."
I didn't say anything about her pulling the trigger and staging the crime scene herself. I said there are a lot of signs pointing to her involvement in his possible murder.
There is a PI Tom Grant, hired by her, to watch Kurt that believes Kurt was murdered. He also has stated there are too many logical contradictions in this case such as Kurt having such a large dose of heroin that he would have been unable to pull the trigger himself.
Someone alleges that Courtney offered them $50,000 to kill Kurt. Her father suspects that Courtney had something to do with his murder. The books and documentaries on the subject allege that local law enforcement ruled it a suicide without a real thorough investigation.
There is enough motive and plausibility that Courtney, also a druggie piece of shit, had something to do with an alleged murder, ruled suicide by investigators, of her husband. I don't think everybody coming to that conclusion, is necessarily a navel gazing fanboy.
Many people believe Kurt didn't kill himself and that a lot of signs point to Courtney having something to do with it.
I think the first season was pretty good.
99% of the reason for tuning in was the music composition though. The whole gimmick and appeal of the show is that it manipulates your emotions with familiar songs that have been recomposed to be a bit unfamiliar.
Something seems off about this bitch's helmet hair. Someone should report her for being a lizard person.
Is there a video of the trial somewhere online?
There are pathological organizations, just as there are pathological people. In general, the purpose of a business is to generate a return on investment for its stakeholders.
Facebook, et. al. (Google, Twitter) aren't playing just for money. You're right, they have some ideological axe to grind and are playing a political power game.
I have said this before to smoothbrains who like to parrot, "its a private company they can do what they want". Google, or Facebook, censoring on behalf of the CCP isn't effectively any different than direct censorship by the CCP. Its just censorship by proxy from the CCP. The same goes if its private company censorship at the behest of the US government.
Engagement for their platform means more eyeballs on ads. Eyeballs on ads means more money. The goal of every business is to make money.
The answer they were probably looking for was something like: "I would publish under a feature flag so that I could test on A/B populations."
That is literally the spirit of the law.
Simon Tolkien is apparently an advisor for the Amzn adaptation.
I wonder, why is he letting them shit all over his father's and grandfather's hard work?
It was grandpa's favorite cartridge for good reason.
Most young adults are pretty stupid. The brain is still developing at that age.
I would agree that they aren't kids at that age. Shouldn't have to coddle them, or treat them as if they're young children. But the majority of them will not have reached adult level maturity by 22, either.
~20K upvotes was a magic number on Reddit which usually indicated a post's promotion was not organic. It was being promoted by bots, or click farms.
Payment networks like Visa are still taking 3% transaction fees off of credit card transactions. The merchant doesn't have to tell you about it but it's still there. Some may offer cash discounts or add credit card surcharges. Interest isn't the only way the payment network makes money.
Credit cards are a way to safeguard checking account assets by not having paper checks floating around with account numbers, or not having to carry large amounts of cash. It is a practical way to protect debit cards from card skimming. There is also transaction protection from fraud or non-delivery of goods or services. Some of the network payment fees may even out with 2% cash back or other intangible benefits such as miles so that it's more enticing to use credit card.
You may be paying off balances monthly without paying interest. It isn't free to use a credit card, and there is more net benefit to the payment network than for you or a merchant. There are trade-offs to consider using a credit card, however.
