@LuFins-Dad that’s actually not as far fetched as you might think.

Gotta watch four year olds every second. Gracefully handled though.

Makes sense. Make house designed to work with the climate, not against it.

https://www.cnn.com/2024/08/26/tech/pavel-durov-telegram-profile-intl/index.html Pavel Durov is a lot of things to a lot of people. Programming prodigy. Billionaire entrepreneur. Kremlin stooge. Free-speech fighter. Biological father to at least 100 kids. Durov, the elusive founder of Telegram who was detained in France over the weekend, cuts the figure of a mysterious, globe-trotting tech bro with Mark Zuckerberg’s prodigiousness, Jack Dorsey’s bizarre lifestyle habits and Elon Musk’s libertarian streak – plus a similar obsession with pronatalism and fathering children. Durov said in July that he had fathered more than 100 children thanks to sperm donations he had made over the past 15 years. Worth an estimated $9.15 billion according to Bloomberg and armed with an array of passports and residences, Durov has for a decade lived a life without borders, a man on an often-shirtless journey to secure the freedom of communication from the prying eyes of governments, democratically elected or otherwise.

Zuck deserves no mercy. Lyin' sack of feces...

Gee, what do you think they make kotex for?

https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024/08/redbox-app-starts-going-away-removing-purchased-content-from-owners/ Roku has finally axed the Redbox app from its platform. Redbox parent company Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in June and moved to Chapter 7 in July, signaling the liquidation of its assets. However, the app has remained available but not fully functional in various places, leaving customers wondering if they will still be able to access content they bought. This development, however, mostly squashes any remaining hope of salvaging those purchases. and As we’ve seen before, streaming companies can quickly yank away content that people feel that they paid to own, be it due to licensing disputes, mergers and acquisitions, or other business purposes. In this case, a company’s failure has resulted in people no longer being able to access content they already paid for and presumed they’d be able to access for the long haul.

One more. A man who was stung hundreds of times by a swarm of wasps says he is still too scared to go outside. Andrew Powell, 57, initially thought he had been stung 160 times after they invaded his home near Brecon, Powys, on Sunday - but said he has now counted more than 250 stings across his body. The festival organiser previously described how the "sky turned brown" as he was swarmed by thousands of wasps from a neighbouring farm, having just taken off his motorbike leathers. "Within seconds they were all over me," he said. "I ran into the house and into the shower hoping the power of the water would get them off. "The bottom of the bath was black with them and they were all over the windowsill. "It was like a Nightmare on Elm Street but in my bathroom." https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c7031992pelo

I cannot imagine Sen. Tester winning. It would be a huge upset for me.

Mr. Silly Putty is any Marxist thing you want him to be. But he is a good team with Kamala-lama-ding-dong. He lets them burn Minneapolis down and Heels-up Harris raises the money to bail them out ...

Wow indeed.

What me worry? I'm just sitting here attached to a big old lightning rod.

@Doctor-Phibes According to Wiki, it was founded by William the Silent. Mr. Trump is making up for that. Yes, he’ll go down as Dickwad the Brash.

Sounds like a policy intent to sow division within or altogether dismantle NATO. https://www.nato.int/cps/en/natohq/topics_49198.htm Mr. Putin would like either of those outcomes very much.

@LuFins-Dad said in Old timers just won't quit ...: @taiwan_girl said in Old timers just won't quit ...: @Jolly said in Old timers just won't quit ...: Bidenomics. I think more demographics and the aging of the US population. (In any case, those 80 year old were in their 70's during the President Trump president and still felt a need to work then. LOL. Maybe we should go back and blame it on Obama or Bush Jr.) No, FDR. Touche!!
