But if you let them play with swords, the children left standing will be much better at handling swords.

You say gross, but have you ever thought about where a lot of all those healthy gut bacteria come from?It's not like they just spawn inside your intestines... Ok, maybe it's a little gross, but when you really think about it a lot of stuff in life is actually kinda gross. Best not to think too hard about it.
Nah, cut 2~3 cm of the bottom of the tree and keep it sitting in water, it'll last 2+ weeks easily and it's not easy to set fire to a live hydrated tree, even when it's pine.Now putting real candles on the tree is a slight risk factor, but if you get the old fashioned or cheap kind, the candles will burn all the way down and slightly bake/singe the pine needles, and that makes your house really smell like Yule!
But that's the root of the problem, 99$ of all billionaires are sociopaths that will never have enough, always needing more; and capitalism is built on extraction of wealth.There are billions who don't have enough, because the filthy rich are incapable of ever having enough.
Tesla's on "full" ""auto"" """pilot""" will plow right into what looks like a road. Mike or Mark Robber tested various self driving cars against a painted curtain with boxes behind it, Tesla's not only failed to stop, they would disengage auto-pilot a split second before colliding, so doesn't count as auto failure.
What would we do without AI! /s No actually, the YouTube ai is actually decent at summarizing videos, although I couldn't get it to make a less lengthy version.
The video presents a theory that Trump is not building a ballroom at the White House, but rather an underground data center (0:45-0:51). The speaker supports this theory with several points:
Inspiration from Oracle's Underground Data Centers: The idea originated from research into Larry Ellison's Oracle building nine-story deep, missile-proof underground data centers in Jerusalem for Israel's data sovereignty (1:30-2:10). The speaker notes the striking similarities in scale and cost between Trump's "ballroom" and Oracle's data centers (2:33-2:47). Project Stargate Context: The video connects the "ballroom" to Project Stargate, a $500 billion AI infrastructure initiative for government operations, defense intelligence, and federal data consolidation, announced by Larry Ellison and Sam Altman with Trump (3:15-3:23). This initiative requires significant infrastructure like servers, power, cooling, and security (3:24-3:29). Contractor's Expertise: The lead contractor, Clark Construction, specializes in building critical government facilities and has six redacted contracts for confidential client data centers (3:52-5:09). They also hold a NAVFAC contract that allows them to hide the true scope and cost of projects (5:29-5:59). Architectural Changes: Trump replaced the classical architect with Shalom Bares, who designed the post-9/11 hardening project for the Pentagon, including secure wedges, skiffs (sensitive compartmentalized information facilities), and bomb-resistant architecture (6:20-7:00). Physical Evidence at the Site: Satellite imagery showed massive steel caissons for deep underground construction and a heavy-lift crane permanently anchored for long-duration, deep excavation (7:21-7:55). Infrastructure Upgrades: Pepco filed emergency requests for massive power infrastructure work near the East Wing, including substation modernization, despite declining commercial real estate demand in downtown DC (8:00-8:54). DC Water increased capital spending and the Washington Aqueduct warned about data centers using Potomac River water for cooling (8:54-9:10). Donor Analysis (Supply Chain for a Data Center): Carrier Corporation is donating an HVAC system, and their website lists "Carrier Quantum Leap" for data center thermal management, suggesting they might be donating this more expensive system rather than a standard ballroom AC (9:41-10:32). Boxable (Paulo Timani), known for prefab buildings, has contracts for Class 5 military installations and their units come with Faraday caging (electromagnetic shielding) for skiffs, similar to the modular construction used in Oracle's data centers (10:50-11:56). Caterpillar (heavy machinery, excavators, industrial generators) and Union Pacific (classified fiber optic cables used by the DoD) are also listed as donors (11:57-12:29). Major cloud computing and AI infrastructure companies like Microsoft, Amazon, Google, and Palantir, along with Booz Allen Hamilton (classified networks for CIA/NSA) and Blackstone (backup power infrastructure), are also on the donor list, while luxury brands typically associated with ballrooms are absent (12:30-13:03). The speaker concludes this donor list is a supply chain for a data center (13:06-13:11). Military Involvement: Trump himself stated that "the military is very much involved in this" ballroom project (13:16-13:26). Location Significance: The East Wing sits directly above the Presidential Emergency Operations Center (PEOC) bunker, which is five stories deep and staffed 24/7 by military officers. Demolishing the East Wing provides access for expansion and integration of new infrastructure (15:28-15:45). Being at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue allows executive privilege to cover the project, exempting it from oversight (15:47-16:04).
The video concludes that while a ballroom might be built on top, it serves as a "lid" for the true project: a classified, protected, and unauditable underground data center for AI warfare infrastructure and continuity of government (16:06-16:18).*
Bullshit.Take Christ out of Christmas and you get Yule. A far older tradition, with a big feast, gifts & offerings, yule-trees, lots of candles (or bonfires and torches or whatever), probably getting drunk, and a lot of hygge/cozy good times.All the Christianity stuff in Christmas is just layered on top of the glorious solstice celebrations. The only thing I'd miss if I were to strip any Christian stuff from Christmas, is a couple banger Xmas songs & hymns.
I swore by Asics for a decade, always fit great and I rarely needed a different insole for my semi flat feet. But then ~3 years ago, they changed something and all their shoes were like any other sneaker - not good enough.
After trying a lot of different insoles, which at best kinda helped; I went the opposite way and started getting extra wide minimal/barefoot shoes. After 2 weeks of adjusting my foot pain went away.It seems having practically no support, makes you build up your arch muscles.
If racing/anxious thoughts isn't the cause, you may have great success with the military sleep method: https://health.clevelandclinic.org/military-sleep-method
I was sure the version I'd read months ago, had you tense up the muscles before relaxing them section by section; but I could not immediately find any variabts which mentioned that part. I used to do the very lite version, counting my breaths. Worked pretty well, over the years - after getting my head sorted out first - I've built a habit of falling asleep in 515 mins. Used to often take an hour, occasionally 23.
I like to call them floozies
There has been research showing improvement from certain antihistamines. Better treatments are needed though.
Glaring example being healthcare. Per Capita the US spends way more than any other country, twice as much as the OECD average. Yet not everyone has access to proper healthcare, the and statistics don't look great for mother mortality and screenings for preventative diseases...But you know, they'll be damned if their moneys paid for someone undeserving (poor or person of color seems to be coinciding with who they think do not deserve healthcare), but wasting tons of money on bureaucracy and fat profit margins, that's apparently a-okay.
They are not braindead, they are brainwashed to an alarming degree.
Honestly, maybe having served as a congressman, senator, mayor or other form of public office, for at least 4 years; would be a rather sensible requirement for becoming president.
Grackles being half the size is a bit of an understate, a common grackle tops out at about 5 oz & 13" with a wingspan up to 18". A raven's common size, on the larger end, is 4½ lbs & 28" with a 60" wingspan.
They are also nifty if you have to RMA electronics. Except last time I had to do that, Asus were very explicit about they do not returned the repaired laptop in whatever you sent it in in. So I had to give up a cool box to have the perfect box to ship it in 🤷
It's kinda itchy, but modern glass-wool might irritate your skin and lungs, but afaik there aren't any know health risks in handling it.

Trump raises tariffs on China to 125% but announces 90-day pause for other countries – business live
2+ million shares of SPY were traded in 3-4 minutes an hour before it broke. Had been pretty much flat since opening for the day. It's fucking blatant.
Perhaps there could be some a voting form of sorts, which gets mailed to e.g. new mothers. And they have something like a couple of weeks to fill out how they wish to vote, I suppose they could sign it too if need be, then return it in a security envelope of sorts to the voting place.I know it may sound like madness, but this form of voting-by-letters-in-the-trusted-care-of-USPS may sound a bit futuristic; but I am confident society can pull it off.
Yes, do let them leave. But tax any wealth over a billion at 100%, and the tax on leaving is 99% of their wealth over a billion.
