The FBI is flagged (notified) as Elon Musk does something stupid.

Replace ‘major government contractor’ with Elon Musk.
It is a shit headline though.
And here we are, not on TikTok or Instagram, and still seeing it
Yeah, that Franch dipping sauce in Breaking Bad was crazy!
Lotsa misinformation coming from that general area.
Assuming the words themselves are accurate, there is still a difference between wanting to “engage more” with Beijing and wanting them to swallow your country whole. Not to mention all the other issues one may vote over
Screenshot taken at 18:07, which puts you at GMT+2. Curious what makes you such an expert in American and Asian secessionist politics from Eastern Europe 🤔
Hi, it’s now 2024. To the best of my knowledge the independence movements of Puerto Rico and Hawaii are currently minimal (not non-existent, but even Texas has some weirdo secessionists). While the circumstances of those territories becoming a part of the US may be dicey, “our ancestors made a mistake” isn’t really a good reason to cut those places away entirely if modern-day people generally wish to keep the current arrangement.
Taiwan, on the other hand, generally wishes to remain independent from China. False equivalence.
I’m not an avid reader, but I’m a huge fan of a book called Over the Edge of the World by Lawrence Bergreen. That detailed Magellan’s voyage around the world. A few takeaways:
Spices really were the thing everyone in Europe wanted. If a sailor managed to smuggle a backpack full of cloves, it would be enough to buy a modest house. Only one of 5 ships made it back, but it was filled with top quality cloves and that was enough that the trip was STILL a financial gain.
Nobody really knew where the spices came from. India was a nebulous semi-mythical place, and some believed there were a few "India"s
Magellan, while Portuguese by birth, basically moved to Spain when Portugal wouldn’t pay for him to try to find the spice Islands
The treaty of Tordesillas roughly divided the new world between Spain and Portugal. The land east of whatever meridian was Portugal’s, and west was Spain’s. But there were still issues, like longitude not really being measurable at the time and no clear idea who had claim 180° past that meridian. But it would have been to Spain’s benefit to find the spice islands past that meridian
Bonus fact: the first human to sail around the world was Magellan’s slave, Enrique (last name escapes me). He was brought from Indonesia(?) to Europe, then set sail on this round-the world journey, eventually going near his native homeland. Magellan had it in his will that Enrique be freed upon his death, but when he was killed on that voyage (basically by his own who) nobody was aware of that.
Welcome to the Internet. You can swear here.
There is also some oil drilling near the southeast side of the city, generally along Quincy and maybe Jewell Avenues?
But the original numbers showed a 90% decline, so something isn’t apples to apples here.
Ahhh yes, the other set of federal criminal charges our former president and current presidential candidate is facing, not to be confused with the felony charges for which he was already found guilty or other charges in another state entirely.
I get that it can be confusing though
I love how new Teams doesn’t even have a contacts list for chat anymore, it’s just your most recent chats. And if you search for someone, any recent group chats with that person show up first so you may still have to scroll to find that person’s chat. Oh, and we store documents on Teams so if I want to switch between looking through the document repository and chat I still have to do a whole bunch of clicks between the two.
I don’t fault them for when my project manager tags @everyone on the group chat with an important message saying “good morning and happy Monday” though. I wish I were kidding.
Depending on what exactly they’re doing, that could be practicing without a license
Super hard, actually
Yes, I figured as much when you said you voted 3rd party. Unless we get ranked choice or some other form of voting, we are going to get a president from one of the two main parties for the foreseeable future. Until then, a vote for the person who shares 90% of your views instead of 75% will help the guy who shares 5% of your views with you. Not to mention that the 75% candidate had about a decade of being dragged through the mud prior to the election to make her seem worse than she really is.
I didn’t vote for Hillary because she sucked
Well then, thank God she didn’t win!
His sentencing is in a couple months. Jail is still on the table. Depending on the jurisdiction and type of crime, it’s not uncommon for sentencing to occur later on while the two sides organize their pitch for what’s appropriate. Plus probation offices and such can give their own assessments.
When did I say anything about a private room? You get a few feet of separation from your parents and a different adult to talk to for a moment. That may be enough of an opportunity.
Gawd, I love visiting Taos. Not sure I could live there but it’s such a cool place. I live in Denver, and when my friend visited from Saskatchewan, Canada I wanted to show her the most un-Canadian things I could think of. We ended up staying in Taos for a couple nights and visited Taos Pueblo. It was a good choice.
