Too late. She already aborted him in the 314th trimester.

Re: crushing on her ; yep, he admitted it directly - saying she is very attractive and comparing her looks to Melania

He then couched it by saying he is 'prettier'

What a weird choice to offer: 12 weekends community volunteering, or a full year of your life in the military.

Ed: guessing there must be a pay difference.
The poors will self select the paid military gig because they can't afford the time off from low pay sustinance jobs to volunteer.

Yea this might have something to do with it

At least 66 members of far-right group in rural Oregon standing for office

Revealed: anti-government People’s Rights Network, founded by Ammon Bundy, appearing to follow ‘entryism’ strategy

At least 66 members of an anti-government group founded by far-right militia figure Ammon Bundy have attempted to win local positions of influence in the Republican party in Oregon, the Guardian can reveal.

The candidates stood for Republican precinct committee person (PCP) slots in three central Oregon counties in this week’s elections, with some facing no opponent and thus winning their positions by default. The role of PCPs includes electing the executive of the county-level GOP apparatus.

The move is part of what appears to be a coordinated attempt to capture the local Republican party infrastructure, following a far-right strategy of “entryism” into more mainstream political bodies.

Here's a $120usd FLIR - how does it compare with a cheap plug in USB phone module?

Guess it's just missing a mounting case?

20240520 UPDATE: I just ran winupdate on an ancient win10 surface and after the same 643 error two more times, and running through all the available updates, it's now reporting I'm up to date. yippee.
I guess the latest update finally fixed it, at least on the Surface.

Anyone tried and succeeded? Not too awful plodding through the resizing? Tips to avoid destroying a partition and having to reinstall the os?

My pixel phone has meager storage. Could I use an old phone with bountiful SD space to serve up media via Bluetooth?

Any ideas if this would work practically speaking?

Edit: Looking for a functional equivalent of on-device storage space, i.e., for offline media consumption

USB phone jack is often used for power, so it's unlikely available for OTG storage

Battery life in the server phone should be ok since it will be running in airplane mode with only Wi-Fi and/or Bluetooth, and display off mostly

Let's hope they can find a way to smoothly transition to a non-growth economy. The planet needs to downsize and someone needs to show the way.

Worse than that, she asked and was told by an election official it was ok to vote. Then was arrested and imprisoned.

I believe she was recently released thankfully but damage done.

Fuck you CDC. Long Covid is real.

Just leave 5 days as a recommendation. What's the harm in that? fuckers.

Ed: CDC could do better to protect people, but instead bend to capitalist (mostly GQP) forces to ignore that edict and get sick people back out working.

When will we start to investigate politicians and media figures for ties to our adversaries?

It's a fundamental national security concern and needs to be part of the security clearance program.

That's why we don't talk about it

Mob boss warns: “I just hope we get fair treatment,” Trump said at an Iowa rally Friday. “Because if we don’t, our country’s in big, big trouble. Does everybody understand what I’m saying?”

Trump also complained of Democrats casting doubt on the court because Trump appointed three of its justices, claiming that they are attempting to put undue political pressure on the court’s decisions.

“They’re saying, ‘Oh, Trump owns the Supreme Court, he owns it. He owns it. If they make a decision for him, it will be terrible. It’ll ruin their reputations,” he said. “‘He owns the Supreme Court. He put on three judges. He owns the Supreme Court. If they rule in his favor, it will be horrible for them. And we’ll protest at their houses.’”

“That puts pressure on people to do the wrong thing. What they’re doing is no different than Bobby Knight,” he continued, referring to the legendary college basketball coach famous for raucous arguments with referees.
