Don't know about the starvation angle, but it may well have sparked a guerilla war after any peace treaty was signed.

https://www.pcmag.com/news/google-pays-apple-36-of-its-safari-browser-search-ad-revenue It has been revealed that Google pays Apple 36% of the revenue it generates from search advertising through the Safari browser. As Bloomberg reports, the revelation came from Google's own economics expert, University of Chicago professor Kevin Murphy, during his testimony at the Justice Department’s antitrust trial. Google's main litigator, John Schmidtlein, "visibly cringed" when Murphy revealed the percentage. This substantial percentage of revenue confirms the high price parent company Alphabet is willing to pay to ensure the Safari browser ships with Google as the default search engine. The antritrust proceedings already revealed that the company pays $18 billion a year to be the default search engine on Apple's devices. Now we know Apple also gets a chunk of the ad revenue from this browser deal.

Pierre Poilievre is the guy whose interview I posted a while ago - the one where he "handled" that reporter quite nicely.

@Horace said in Horace's Pickup: My next vehicle will definitely not be a sedan. But I think I will go with a large SUV. I rent them whenever I need a rental, and they are so much more comfortable for me. The odd piano haul will be a bonus. Link to video

@taiwan_girl said in For you Facebook people: Yup, God is a sports fan. That is why when a player says after a game, "thank God for giving us this victory", it just shows which team he is rooting for. That's so cynical. The main reason we don't have world peace is because The Almighty spends so much of his time ensuring The Patriots never win another Superbowl. Sports fans are so bloody selfish.

@Jolly said in Nobody was in the car...: BTW, just an observation...The granddaughter gets a detail, but Robert Kennedy goes naked? Yeah, he might be batshit crazy, but he probably warrants some protection.

Florida Woman Doing Bad Things in Georgia https://www.fox5atlanta.com/news/airport-stabbing-hartsfield-jackson-south-terminal-officer-stabbed Taxi driver Selemon Melkamu told police that he picked up Milton, who is from Orlando, Florida, from the Kensington MARTA station. During the trip to the airport, Melkamu says Milton stabbed him in the upper chest near his shoulder while passing the international sign for the airport on Interstate 285 South. She then grabbed his phone and threw it out the window and onto the interstate. After arriving at the airport, Milton walked into the South Terminal. Police officers and a U.S. Deputy Marshal begin following Milton. The woman was then observed swiping at a Delta employee with the knife. Officers shouted commands to drop the weapon but Milton refused to do so. Officer D. McFarland then tried to stop Milton with his city-issued taser. However, she was wearing more than one pair of pants and it did not make contact with her skin. Lt. David Cannon then tried to stop Milton with pepper spray. Unfortunately, Cannon then slipped on the pepper spray and Milton took the opportunity to bend down and stab him in the leg, according to the report. It was at that point that Officer Hatley tackled Milton. [image: MILTON.jpg?ve=1&tl=1]

Damn right, Skippy. Things really took off after 9/11, during the Obama regime and the third Obama Administration.

@Mik said in Money & Wind: @89th said in Money & Wind: I really annoyed the author didn't use a "changing winds" pun in the article title. How about "Breaking Wind"?

To prove Ms. Chitika wrong, what’s your fondest memory of Sen. Scott’s presidential campaign?

I really hate it when they try to help me or figure out what I might be interested in.

I hear scientists are replacing their lab rats with lawyers. They do this for two reasons; One, The scientists become less attached to the lawyers. And two, there are certain things that even rats won't do.

I've never seen or heard of either of them. Interesting piece.

The offer came at noon for a 1 pm game. Would have been a fire drill with far distant parking. I'm not a pick up and go as I once was.
