It was a warehouse, and they basically just found a place where Venezuelans partied. From what I remember they basically got no charges out of this raid and it blew up a DEA investigation that had been running for awhile.

People were voting against Dems for inflation that was largely from summer of 2022. Bear markets/recessions usually last 15 months.

If Trump keeps this stupid shit up for more than a week, the Republicans will have a bloodbath. Look no further than the elections of 1890.

“Young child in Mexico has novel influenza” was Swine Flu’s start. So I always get a little nervous reading about it.

The slightly better news is that compared to COVID, influenza sucks at spreading, so our non-pharmaceutical interventions are liable to stall it out pretty well.

The Canadian teen mutated to a human to human form, but she did not spread it forward.

It’s coming. We just keep rolling the dice.

“Let’s wipe out the vast amount of wealth for the majority of the country” is unlikely to play well basically ever.

“Grandma and Grandpa need to take a $300k wealth cut so that we can force them out of the neighborhood they’ve lived in for 30 years because it’s not the optimal use of that land” is going to always go over like a wet fart. You’re coming across like a technocrat here rather than a feeling human being.

Between the capacitor plague and the tin whiskers from the phaseout of lead, hardware from that era failed constantly.

You’re real close to the “capacitor of death” models there. GX270s failed like a motherfucker.

And yet: You’ll still be limited to two simultaneous calls to your REST API because the default HTTP client was built in the dumbest way possible.

I saw an ad request with an inline 1.4 MB game. Like, you could fit Mario in there.

Which makes it all the more Pooh-esque.

Throw in some misspellings and I would have sworn it was Winnie the Pooh.

No, he can be questioned about official acts. The wording is that the judiciary decides what is an official act, so if they decide it is, he cannot be punished criminally for what is otherwise a criminal act. The Supreme Court did a bunch of power grabs for itself and effectively declared that Congress couldn’t do squat other than impeachment against the president and the only check on the president’s power was whether the judiciary agreed with him.

Now Trump’s attacking the judiciary and has made the chief justice have to make a statement that his challenges to his legitimacy will not stand, so I would expect to see a bunch of cases go against Trump just as a judiciary show of force, much like his citizenship emergency challenge where they told him to fuck off and they’d slow walk his case.

Trump could have ended democracy quite easily if he wasn’t in such a damn hurry to get shit done and snubbing all of the power brokers that he needs to implement his plans is forcing a bunch of needless shit. When the economy is fully in shambles in a few months and the ad spend slows down for media companies, I’d expect them to pounce on how much shit he fucked up. It’s wild seeing WSJ realizing the problem that’s coming down the pipeline and the Murdoch rag shitting on him in the editorials rather than WaPo.

From what we saw in the Canadian teen: It’s only a mutation away from ripping through humans in a real bad way. It picked up the mutation it needed to switch from preferring the alpha 2,3 receptor plentiful in birds to the alpha 2,6 sialic acids that are plentiful in the human nose, throat and lungs when the teen was infected. That teen then developed ARDS and she needed to be intubated.

No. She said she found out when the journalists called her. Doesn’t she also need to be confirmed?

Instead, you got the party that sent 2000 lbs bombs and wants to eradicate the people of Gaza so he can build some casinos.

… But that was a Bush thing.

“You’ve got to read this,” Fran Townsend remembers the president telling her. “He said, ‘Look, this happens every 100 years. We need a national strategy.’”

Thus was born the nation’s most comprehensive pandemic plan – a playbook that included diagrams for a global early warning system, funding to develop new, rapid vaccine technology, and a robust national stockpile of critical supplies, such as face masks and ventilators, Townsend said.

Like, Regeneron and Moderna were direct US DARPA funding that came out because Bush was certain a new flu pandemic was enroute any day now.

You all are talking about God’s existence, and I’m just over here wondering if I found my therapist’s account.
