    I listened to that interview. Trump really does come off as much more subdued these days. There's almost a whiff of a human level of humility.

    Outstanding. Set, lighting, acting. Top notch. They played as a bit more of a farce than Hitchcock. [image: 1725491507184-img_4511.jpeg]

    Had drinks with my old Credit Suisse buddies last night. It got me thinking about this topic, because I like the way the banking industry handles it. The typical non-competes stops you from working for a competitor for 6 months. It seems to strike a good balance - it inhibits you from bringing leads from one employer to another, gives the ex-employer time to have new employees build relationships with your old clients, while not banning you from working in your own industry. The phrase they use is ‘gardening leave’. You get an offer from a new bank and quit your job, and have six months to tend to your garden.

    That's the Good Reverend Dewey to you, snide fellow. No, Paul Harrell was a kind of different personality. Marched to the beat of his own drummer. But he could shoot and his videos can contain a lot of unbiased information. You don't get over 1M subscribers on a firearms channel without standing out from the crowd.

    It is disgusting. At the very least, let them cop a plea for voluntary manslaughter as adults. The sentence in Nevada is 1-10 years. Sentence them to 3-4 years and knock off a third for good behavior. That way, they carry a felony record and at least serve some hard time.

    Turning Point is a 501(c)3 just like the Voter Participation Center with the same requirement to be non-partisan in its registration efforts. I suspect it’s a very low bar to prove non-partisanship.

    I've been a Honda / Toyota guy, but my latest one is a BMW. It's supposed to be their most reliable drivetrain (in-line 6). Fingers crossed...

    @Renauda said in Manifesto Released: @LuFins-Dad COVID, and it finally became blatantly obvious in the 3020 election and aftermath, people shockingly stopped trusting them. You don’t say. I would have thought that by then the Wuflu pandemic would be out of the mainstream consciousness. Yeah, focus on the typo.

    ive seen so many of these holistic types. some are luckier than others, maybe the initial dx was in situ, with a very slow growth rate, in which case chemo would not be indicated anyway, but for the most part-these things end very badly.

    @Friday I’d also add more needs based assistance (read: welfare) for mothers at risk, revamping and improving the adoption and foster programs. If you’re going to be pro-life, it doesn’t help to have 3/4 of these kids live lives of dependence on alcohol, drugs, and more.

    Both races were awesome. Yeah, that dolphin kick will do it for you. In the very few competitions that my daughter won, it was her dolphin kick that put her ahead.

    Nor will your kiddo at this age. I knew it at the time and know it still…. The Covid days where I took my 2 year old to the creek ever day for a walk/hike was as good as it gets.

    @Jolly said in Once upon a time in Pittsburgh's Syria Mosque: More Bangles trivia... Which band member played with Joan Jett? The answer is Michael Steele, the bassist. Miki played with Joan in The Runaways.

    Yeah, but the idiocy of the girl asking the questions snd the sheer horror over what she has done to her lips completely negates and reverses anything her video attempted to accomplish. Instead of thinking about the double standard being applied by Google, and thinking about just how the technocrats try to control us and the information flow, instead I’m focused on what an idiot this girl is, she’s obviously a Trump supporter, and if she supports him, I clearly cannot.
