That I’m not disappointed in him.

I’ve got a private chat with a small group of friends. That’s my primary social media. We share news and discuss ideas.

IMO, Iran was expecting an Israeli response on par with what Iran actually hit in Israel and not what Iran targeted. Iran expected Israel to hit some rocks in the desert. Israel hit actual military targets and Iran is outraged. Iran cannot win this game.

Am I the only one on here using Budgie. I just feel more comfortable with the workflow using Budgie.

It is like any other election for me. I don’t want either of them. I’m guaranteed to be disappointed.

Why do they call themselves the “Communist Party of China,” then?

Says I’m 10%. BMI says I’m 22.5. I think that’s a big difference? I’m very tall, thin, but have solid muscle and work out about two hours per day.

This is not new and it has previously been used against anti-abortion activists, tracking locations and even being used to record religious confessions. People on both sides of the abortion issue can oppose this type of monitoring.

You think college food service companies are going to suddenly care about quality?

Catering companies, in search of greater profits, will assume this means loads more high fructose corn syrup and “vegetable based” saturated fats. More garbage, more obesity.

If you look at early votes, Republicans are doing better in every close state other than Pennsylvania. So assuming there’s a correlation with party affiliation, the polls are probably correct. If Harris is going to pull this off, she needs to address the ground game in these pivotal states.

A number of child victims were rescued and safeguarded in the Philippines, including three in relation to this case.

That’s half way down the article. Doesn’t say what happened to the woman but I’m glad the Philippines government is doing something.

For me it was the opposite. Windows required too much support. It didn’t do what they wanted it to do and bad updates inevitably caused problems. With Solus Linux everything became easier for them.

I wouldn’t consider a country that cannot manage its own power supply “successful.” I suspect the US would be more willing to help if Cuba stopped being a one-party authoritarian state that sides with America’s geopolitical enemies, namely Russia.

Edit: Yes, Texas sucks as a country. They aren’t one but would be a failed nation if they tried. They aren’t even a very good US state as far as states go. Your Texas argument just supports my statement above even harder.

Edit 2: Cuban grid operators are blaming an influx of air conditioning units (residential & business) as being the stressor that brought down the grid. This story does not jive well with those here arguing the problem is US trade policy regarding the island nation. Cuba did not run out of oil. It can get equipment to operate the grid. Heck, Turkey send Cuba seven mobile power plants to assist the grid. None of it is working because Cuba has a serious brain drain issue. Educated people leave Cuba. The grid likely failed because the people keeping it running left the country.

I think they believe that images of living things become idols. If I recall, Amish have similar concerns, but they don’t try to enforce it outside of their community. Fortunately, there was no such thing as audio recording when their religion was invented, so hopefully at least that’ll be tolerated. Radio broadcasts are better than no broadcasts.

Russian Orthodoxy was a fake church created specifically to prevent Orthodox bishops from rejoining union with Rome after the Council of Florence. They arrested the bishops and elected their own, creating their own “church.” Although it was eventually recognized by Orthodox Churches, it took a lot longer than you’d expect. Now they are in schism against the rest of Orthodoxy, so perhaps the Council of Florence can finally find resolution. Never trust Russian Orthodoxy.

From the beginning, Orban has rooted for Russia because there’s a rump of “historic Hungary” that’s was long lost that they want back. His dream is Russian taking everything they want and Putin throwing him a few scraps. Pathetic.

Is the victory plan available for public viewing yet? I’d love to read about how Ukraine is going to beat Russia and I’d like to know what my country can do to help.

Those exist they are called “mutuals” but I don’t think they have a better track record vs other company types.
