    I had no idea anybody considered 10 crazy high. it's only 10 more than no incline at all. But my calibration is to the sub-brisk pace of 2.3 mph. For those with the magic knee joints that can handle running over the long term, good for them. But I think they are a lucky minority.

    @Doctor-Phibes said in ICE kills a US citizen in Minneapolis: @Horace said in ICE kills a US citizen in Minneapolis: I don't know how meddlesome they can be. I've read that they have taken control of the video evidence, but the shooter himself released the primary video to the public. There's a hypothetical scenario where there is video not seen by the public, nor MN state officials, which is being held by the FBI, and that video would be helpful for any legal case against the shooter. That's just a hypothetical. I'm not aware of any reports that there is juicy video the public hasn't already seen. What the public has already seen sure does seem to be enough to build a case with, according to many, so maybe we'll see it. And then if convicted Trump can pardon him. Presidential pardons don't work for state level crimes.

    My sister was a dispatcher aged 24 when 'The Gainesville Ripper' serial killer hacked up five co-eds about her age. The movie 'Scream' is based on him. That freaked her out. She had details that no one sane wants to hear.

    I would not be at all surprised if that were partially true. But I suspect things there are still pretty damn dicey for the mullahs.

    TARS told me earlier that SCOTUS has been reluctant to address such a topic.

    That Poulenc concerto doesn't get a lot of play. I first heard it from the EMI recording with Poulenc as one of the pianists. It was well recorded and a decent performance.

    Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent reportedly informed Trump on Sunday that the investigation “made a mess” and risked destabilizing financial markets. A source told Axios, “The secretary isn’t happy, and he let the president know.” Former economic government officials—including three former Federal Reserve chairs, four former treasury secretaries, and former Republican Sen. Phil Gramm of Texas—signed a statement describing the reported criminal investigation into Powell as an “unprecedented attempt to use prosecutorial attacks to undermine [the Federal Reserve’s] independence.”

    And if Xi or Kim or Putin win? Greenlanders would be both selling and trading. Its not just about the cash, it's also about maintaining their way of life balanced with new US citizenship. What's US citizenship worth? I'm pointing out the idea has a lot of upsides
