When tough-talking politicians tell you they're gonna rein him in, they won't be able to do it by getting court orders. He violates them left and right.
Impeachment is the only way.

@Mikal Here's the signal fire frames overlaid. As this is an uphill I would guess the left side is the entry into the pass they were taking, and a correct view (not a selfie shot here).
I would surmise they are already on an uphill rise up below a valley on the right side of the valley (to the south)
One other thing we can do is pick the original image up and approximate the location from the shadow... Bellingcat tool to do that.
The killing spree began with Hamas’s sudden offensive on October 7th, a day that changed the course of the conflict. Breaking through Israel’s borders, Hamas fighters unleashed an attack that left around 1,200 people dead, most of them civilians.

Cliff Collapses on Rosetta Comet
Several sites of cliff collapse on comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko were identified during Rosetta's mission. The yellow arrows mark the fractures where the detachment occurred. The collapsed sections are about 50 feet (15 meters) long for the left-hand section, and 30 feet (9 me...

@jopabinia.bsky.social I didn't take a photo, but yesterday we had a tiny (maybe 2inch wide) crab on the 3rd floor of our building, exploring for new walls to scale I think.
we put him in a box and left him in the garden downstairs.

Texas has suspended 17 data center construction permits and shut down automated portal that rubber-stamped projects
Thinking of throwing my hugo website in the trash and build an indexhibit like layout. Some years ago it was such a fun sign of quality content. If the site was mostly whitespace and had a list of projects on the left, you knew there would be amazing media-art behind it.
I don't care about the CMS part behind it, as my static hugo build is nice as is

Unlike with a brain implant or retinal implant, The vOICe vision BCI needs no surgery: it converts a live camera view into sound patterns that blind people learn to interpret. Free, noninvasive, and even available in your browser https://www.seeingwithsound.com/webvoice/webvoice.htm?large Use stereo headphones. Training is required - no instant sight.
Surely you can, using just The vOICe web app and after a little practice, replicate the white stripe following as demonstrated in the video of a Chinese retinal implant recipient? https://mas.to/@seeingwithsound/117496521674778945

So I had to take Jennie with me this morning the doctor's office. She watched some anime on her phone while we waited. I watched the first episode of last season's Taskmaster.
So I was getting my foot wound treated. They had to debride the wound, that means cut away the dead or ill flesh so I'm left only with healthy flesh, then they wrapped it up, and then they gave me a air-cast which I have to wear for a couple of weeks. I also have to stay off the foot as much as possible. Afterwards I took Jennie to A&W for breakfast, bacon & Eggers and hash browns before I took her to school, I had to hobble into the main office to sign her in. Since then I've been in bed. Hello boredom!
Now that everything is unlocked in Quake Champions, I have the opportunity to read up on all the lore scrolls I never picked up because I only played as the Hot Lizard Mom, and the biographical entries for Strogg and Peeker are hilarious.
The strogg guy was part of a skeleton crew left behind on Stroggos to keep the lights on since most everyone else slipgated to Earth to squeeze sweet, sweet stroyent from humans, and times were tough, stroyent had to be rationed, but lo! Humans reverse-engineered slipgate tech and counter-invaded!
Now food is dropping out of the sky, references are made to the beginning of Q2 where most of the initial strike force was wiped out by an EMP save for one lucky bastard who was now prowling the outer perimeter, and since this strogg is an infiltrator class, the Makron taps him to spy on the guy
Each field report from this strogg grows increasingly desperate. At first it's like haha look at this human, what a weak little fleshbag, but then subsequent entries are like holy fuck, this dude just wiped our entire jail security force, fuck fuck he's taking out our security grid, what the fuck
Makron, let me take this guy out, he's fucking our shit up, give me permission to take this guy out, he's wrecking everything, Makron, talk to me, he's ruining everything, he's moving so fast, how is he doing this, please let me kill this guy, I can kill him, just give me the order, I'll do it
Finally he's like fuck it, I'm just gonna do it, goes in, fucking fails, then wakes up and is like wait, this isn't Stroggos, where am I
It doesn't change anything about Q2, but when I replay it now I'm gonna think about how canonically there is a panicking spy who fucking dies trying to kill me
Happy Carday
My car is a year old. Or maybe not because I’m not sure if a car’s birthday is the day is was manufactured, or the day it arrived at the dealership, or the day I went out and picked it up. You can see I don’t know much about car birthdays.
Its birthday (by my definition which is the day I picked it up) was actually yesterday and we went out and celebrated by driving to the park. We got there and I turned it off and opened the door and it told me it didn’t want me to get out and walk and I told it that it was the park and it said to me, “Yes, but it’s my birthday (by your definition) and I don’t want to be left alone in the parking lot with a bunch of scary cars.”
“They’re just cars,” I said. “They’re not scary.”
“Says someone who isn’t a car.”
My car and I, we apparently have a lot in common.
“Well, what can I do about—”
“You can just stay with me.”
So I sat and read and looked out at trees periodically and the car sat and rested. Or whatever cars do when they’re turned off. Except for the tires and the windshield wipers the thing is pretty much one giant computer so for all I know it rests by examining and evaluating my driving habits and radio preferences and my inability to sing and uploads all that information somewhere.
We get along alright. It’s a Scorpio like me and I suspect that’s the reason why. And why we both like it when I drive through puddles. It’s surprising to me how many miles I don’t drive anymore since I don’t go to work every day. I should probably get out more. Go to a grocery store farther away. Travel. Maybe go to St. Paul or something.
Car:
Please don’t anyone tell my car that I thought of a song about an Oldsmobile, but I don’t know of any songs about Toyotas.

"Earlier this month, a new report found that, due to deteriorating soil quality, crops including carrots, apples and peas are now 20% to 50% less nutritious than they were in the 1960s. So should we be eating double the amount?"
The report mentioned/linked to is behind a 'subscribe and give us your email address so we can spam you'!
Headline of the report:
"Cereal yields are up 215% per hectare since the 1960s, but more than 2 billion people have at least one clinical micronutrient deficiency.
In collaboration with The Mark Leonard Trust, we produced Hollow Harvests to examine how decades of breeding and farming for yield have left many crops with 20 to 50% less of several key nutrients. A carrot with half the potassium means eating twice as many carrots to get the same benefit."

Chapter 14 - "Evacuation"
The evacuation of Nies is going well until Skenn detects some Aleph military ships in the vicinity. This curtails their emergency mission prematurely and threatens to leave some of the inhabitants behind. Voight is determined to ensure that this is not going to happen, but can she get everyone left on the last few shuttles?
It seems odd that *everyone* is talking about getting rid of Lincoln Riley, head coach of #USCTrojans football, when they're 6-2, right? But, people are using an embarrassing loss at Wisconsin as the basis for believing Riley can't win more than 1 more game the rest of this season, when they host Maryland. Everyone's expecting Riley to finish -- if he's allowed to -- the season at 7-5 and that's not good enough for his $11M salary.
But, never count Riley out. He just may pull a 9-3 or 10-2 season. The question is, why did USC play so flat against Wisconsin, a team with far less talent. I think it's because they left for Wisconsin just the day before the game, which was unlike the Penn State game where they arrived 2 days prior.
We'll see. Beat Ohio State, Indiana, Maryland, and UCLA and the Trojans would sneak into the playoffs and he'd get another year. Probably.
Is eloquence bad?
My kind of old opinion is yes, eloquence and eloquent people are generally bad. I see them as liars, utilizing emotions to persuade in smth for their own benefit. I think of right wing, persuading
some harmful concepts. However it is not limited to right wing, left do it too. Loud slogans designed to control the minds of people.
Now I think the eloquence might also be responsible?
Like to improve the responsibility, add a strong opinion disclaimer. The critical analysis should be the main support of arguments. Be open-minded and respective.
Effect of this on my personal life:
Being against eloquence, my English/Russian/Kazakh speaking in schools were bad. That is bad for my chances to get into a cool University.
This leads me to rethink it now. Maybe if I will be responsible, my speeches can be both eloquent and more ethical? Can it be so?
I am still not sure if eloquence is ethical.
But I want to be ethical.
#howto #tax a #bank The anatomy of a bank tax: what can the UK learn from Europe?
https://www.cityam.com/the-anatomy-of-a-bank-tax-what-can-the-uk-learn-from-europe/
In a more moderate instance, #Spain introduced a 4.8 per cent levy on banks’ net interest income and fee revenues for 2023 and 2024. Pedro Sánchez’s government left no loopholes and succeeded in raising €1.3bn in 2023 and €1.7bn in 2024. The levy hit banks earning over €800m, which left a majority of smaller lenders and international banks outside the target range.
