You should have seen the quote for the version of the book that broke the Epstein list wide open.

When you begin from the notion that the Trump campaign was always full of shit about their implications of all that dirt in the Epstein files, it begins to make a lot more sense. Occam is still firmly in the camp that there is no there there in those files.
My best guess is that the government has little if any convictable dirt in the files.
But this has become a cultural shibboleth. Either you believe that Epstein is illuminati or you don't. A lot of people in Trump's base believe it. That in and of itself is a problem for him now... TBD if people will forget about it.
The Trump haters can't stop talking about how his base is totally fractured over this. I don't know how much of a point they have, but I do know that they think they can will a crisis into existence, if they just scream loudly enough that Trump is in crisis over this.
I will grant that Alex Jones, Tucker Carlson, and some other podcasters that helped get Trump elected, are deeply troubled by what they consider to be an obvious coverup. If they can grow their coalition, maybe someday we'll elect someone who'll fabricate whatever evidence their base wants to see.

You know, seeing that Nvidia is worth more than the combination of: Apple, NBC/Comcast (all the Universal movies, too), Disney (all the parks, movies, merch, ABC, ESPN, etc), Starbucks, McDonalds, and Coca-Cola… that really is insane.

On a scale of 1 to 7.3, how concerned are you,
True story, yesterday I almost replied to this post asking why you could be so insensitive to have the rating scale max out at a 7.3, out of respect for earthquakes of that magnitude such as Vanuatu last year.
And this morning Alaska gets a 7.3 magnitude earthquake, tsunami warnings and all.
Sorry about that. Didn't know my own power.
But in the words of Louis CK, accidentally causing a huge catastrophe is a small price to pay for the realization that you have the power to cause huge catastrophes whenever you want. It's pretty awesome.

Here's to the next 9.
Do you know who the donor was? Is it all anonymous like the UK?
It’s anonymous but you can write to an organization that will forward a letter to the donor family. Then if they choose they can contact you (presumably if you give them your contact info in the letter).

It would be easy enough for me to add. My gym has a sauna. Unfortunately they separate men and women so I’d have to be in there with a bunch of sweaty blokes.
Mixed sex saunas might extend a number of things, however longevity probably isn’t one of them
I completely fail to understand the logic, but for many Germans it is immoral to have AC.
Also, thanks to our insane energy prices, AC is really expensive to operate.
