You can contact Stripe at the link to let them know about the company they are associating with.

Really interesting story. As someone raised in evangelical churches, I have Always wondered why modern evangelical Christians can’t see the hypocrisy of their position.

Did Compaq also start as an acquisition from a completely unrelated industry?Tandy was a leather goods company that purchased a hobby electronics chain, and started selling PC’s.

That is quite blatantly a take on Tandy, a leather company getting into the co.puter business.

That’s why I use a B&W Lazer printer, and have dedicated prosumer Canon photo printer for the few times I need color prints.

In the words of Stringer Bell “Your not taking notes on a motherfucking conspiracy are you?”

May have been glued to the wall as well. I would expect to have to repair the drywall. For the texture, they have spray on texture in a can that they say replicates the existing look. I would not expect to get it perfect. It will probably look different no matter how hard you try.

I think you misunderstand Isreals role in the region, as far as US politics is concerned. As long as Isreal is a viable force in the region, They are seen as a knife at the collective Arab/Iranian/Egyptian throat. They act as a US proxy providing a counter weight to other regional powers. I’m no defender of Isreal, there actions, or Netanyahu, just providing another point of view.

You use seawater for cooling the systems. You could use excess power to run desalination plants, but not use the reactor directly.

Start Here I think your answer is somewhere in the IEC ELV standards.

Depends. Nowak had the charges against him dismissed. He then sued the police. He lost that case when it got to the Supreme Court and they denied cert.

There’s an old Roger Zelazny story with that exact premise called Jack of Shadows

It was a request for the court to hear the case (a petition for certiorari). The court denied cert and didn’t hear the case, therefore the lower court ruling stayed in place. From Wikipedia "The parody page, which strongly resembled the real page, had led to Novak’s arrest in March 2016 and a subsequent trial for disrupting public services, which resulted in Novak’s acquittal.[1] Novak then brought suit under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 for retaliation and prior restraint. An initial decision of the Sixth Circuit in July 2019 allowed most of the suit to proceed, leading to a February 2021 ruling that Novak’s arresting officers both had probable cause and were protected by qualified immunity, which the Sixth Circuit upheld in April 2022. "

True, but there are grades of racing. I don’t know what the current class structure is, but a 7k CBR is spitting distance of super street or whatever that AMA class is called now. I think the point being made is still valid. I can’t go out and buy a motogp bike, and the manufacturer isn’t pretending to sell me one.

This is the solution. The bite is that politicians know it is incredibly unpopular, and in America penalizes rural voters who have to drive farther. Ideally, it would be assessed annually when you renew registration and amortized out as monthly payment (or possibly an option to pay a lump sum). Based on your cars mileage for the last year, so it would be a post paid tax. However here in Texas, we just got rid of inspections that verify your mileage, so it would be left to self reporting, which is notoriously unreliable.

Ice Pirates

Plus one for Ice Pirates. It gave us Space Herpes

Or, and hear me out here, get an old dell i3, and a couple 6tb hdd to run unraid, with the arr’s and plex in dockers. Then decide that’s not enough storage, so you get some 8tb drives. Then decide you need some mote space, and you might as well upgrade the chip. Plus you need a GPU to transcode, and the Dell won’t support that. So now you’ve got a fractal Define R5, Asus MOBO, Nvidia GPU, i5, 8 14tb hdd, 2 more 14 tb hdd’s for parity, 2 120gb ssd’s for cache, and noctua fans to keep the noise down. So what I’m saying is I might have a problem.

I agree, I think the actress that played Breanne in GoT would have been better. However, I think the actress they picked did a great job, so it didn’t ruin it for me , just not what I pictured in my head when I was reading.

I highly recommend The Expanse on Amazon Prime. A number of badass female characters- Drummer, Naomi, Clarissa, Avrisarala, Bobbi. Not a single Mary Sue among them. 6 seasons, really gets into the meat of the story. Excellent character development,/Arc over the course of the series. Even the guy who is one dimensional (Amos) winds up having depths. If she likes to read, the books are even better. The same, but different. Also, the Murderbot Diaries are really good books, fast easy reads but very entertaining.
