Apparently an amputation isn't serious enough? 🤔

That's just the most recent example. Just giving people housing brushes the problems under the rug and concentrates them, it doesn't solve them.

It definitely accelerated after 110 passed.

Because they're lying. They have had just over $300 Billion dollars in support from the US over the years, they have enough money to keep the war going until everyone is dead.

Read through the paper looking for sample jokes, found none. :(

But this was the issue with the George Carlin bit that was online. I listened to it, it was a reasonable approximation of George's voice and intonation.

But when it got to the part where it said "I think we can all agree, there's one comedian better off as AI... Bill Cosby." and I went "OK, AI did not write that." AI doesn't get subversion.

Turns out...

That's a hardware problem, not software, and fixable. PS3 had a similar issue:

I'd think you would end up living differently just because of the scale.

Let's say you were suddenly handed 100 million dollars. Lottery, inheritance, whatever.

I don't know what your annual salary is, but for me, that's 694.4 years worth of annual income.

So "paying myself" my current annual salary, which NGL, is pretty comfortable, it would take 694.4 years to burn through $100M.

Of course interest changes that as well. Capping yourself at whatever your annual income is would likely see your wealth continuing to grow and never shrink.

All of a sudden, a world of possibilities opens to you. Vacation rentals? Screw that, vacation HOMES. AirBNB them 96% of the time (50/52 weeks a year) and that's more money on the pile.

Not only that, she works for a billion dollar multi-national. I can't tell you who, but you do know who they are. They even have union representation in other areas, just not hers.

It's not quite the same as 2016 because then, we had no incumbent President running. It was a blank slate on both sides.

 

When is Biden's interview with ABC News? How to watch

Biden will sit down with Stephanopoulos for an interview will that air across ABC News platforms on Friday, July 5 at 8 p.m. EDT/7 p.m. CDT, the news outlet confirmed.

"In total, GoDigital Media Group is closing 21 Bob’s locations in Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, New York, and New Jersey as part of the Chapter 11 restructuring petition that was filed in June."

informed employees of the filing late Friday [...] that it had filed for a debtor-in-possession loan — a way for companies that are reorganizing after filing for bankruptcy to secure additional working capital to meet payroll. [...] employees have been waiting for paychecks since June 21st [...] it’s not certain that the company will be able to secure such a loan.

Chicken Soup took on $325 million in debt when it acquired Redbox in 2022 and has since been sued over a dozen times over unpaid bills.

Here we go, the first Presidential debate between Biden and Trump begins at 9 PM Eastern/6 PM Pacific.

How to watch it:

https://www.cnn.com/2024/06/25/politics/how-to-watch-cnn-debate/index.html

"The CNN Presidential Debate will air live on CNN, CNN International and CNN en Español, and via streaming on Max for subscribers and without a cable login on CNN.com. CNN will make the debate available to simulcast on additional broadcast and cable news networks.

You can also follow CNN’s live debate coverage on CNN.com, which will include analysis and fact checking."

"According to parameters set by CNN in May, all participating debaters had to appear on a sufficient number of state ballots to reach the 270 electoral vote threshold to win the presidency and receive at least 15% in four separate national polls of registered or likely voters that meet CNN’s standards for reporting.

Polls that meet those standards are those sponsored by CNN, ABC News, CBS News, Fox News, Marquette University Law School, Monmouth University, NBC News, The New York Times/Siena College, NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist College, Quinnipiac University, The Wall Street Journal and The Washington Post."

Edit And that's it! Thanks for watching everyone!

tl;dw:

Consensus is Trump didn't so much as beat Biden as Biden beat himself.

The real loser is CNN who failed to fact check anyone, and there were obvious fact checks on both sides.

 

Love reading the manuals:

8-1 with Thomas the dissent.

“The court and government do not point to a single historical law revoking a citizen’s Second Amendment right based on possible interpersonal violence,” Thomas wrote. “Yet, in the interest of ensuring the Government can regulate one subset of society, today’s decision puts at risk the Second Amendment rights of many more.”
