It’s specifically to get lower interest rates for an economy boost in a mid-term election year. He needs a domestic win, even if it’s short-sighted and will almost certainly lead to a bad economic shift next year. Powell has been rightfully hesitant on allowing the lower rates just to appease the child in the White House.

400kbps would be slow as hell, for all of those use cases. Video would be unusable, but other stuff would still be insanely slow with all the bloat in modern websites and tracking crap in apps.

Carbon Removal Purchases

I read that and immediately figured it was just corporate green-washing. Then read this on cdr.fyi , which basically confirms it.

2.7% of purchases have been delivered

I assume this “market” is just a way for corpos to get tax incentives, since the “demand” (purchases) will never, ever catch up with “supply” (actually removing carbon).

Toss them in

If you’re not using the ready-bake ones, you can just cut the par-cooked noodles to fit.

Unfortunately, the wait time to receive one of these visas is often more than 15 years.

The Department of Homeland Security, which oversees ICE, has defended the deportations, arguing that crime victims can return later if their visas are eventually approved.

So if you’re still alive in 15 years, let us know. Also, we haven’t heard from you, so you need to restart the process.

I’m downvoting this purely because of how extensively the title is sane-washing the actual statement.

What Trump actually said on his propaganda site:

Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell – JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah. President DONALD J. TRUMP.”

Why would the US send a C130 transport into enemy airspace to rescue a single person? I get the blackhawk part, but not that. Doubt activated.

That article reads like a ChatGPT summary, though I’m not sure if that’s partially due to translation from German or not.

The US doesn’t “bring freedom” and then leave after.

Eh, more like they are having a lawyer help determine whether they comply or not (to avoid being sued/held liable for non-compliance).

Capitalism > Law

I’m aware. Several issues there.

1. They use / buy lists of people to robo-dial
2. They don’t bother opt-out request handling on those lists reliably
3. The opt-out process is per-campaign, not party-wide, so the process is an endless cycle for all party candidates, and even the same ones running in future elections. Because we have no way to our out at the party level, the data is basically always there.

This is by no means am exhaustive list.

Yeah, that’s my line of thought as well.

The DNC just gives it to any Dem campaign. RNC is the same. I use SMS Filter+.

Doesn’t matter to her. She’ll land a lucrative gig on one of the right wing propaganda networks, not go back to practicing law.

Now if she faces criminal and civil penalties beyond that disbarment, that’s a different story. Especially at the state level.

I think political calls are basically exempt from it, anyways.

“Prior consent” is basically moot if you ever donate to a y campaign, ever, because you have to provide a real phone number. Or if you sign a petition your party is running, or somehow end up having that party get your number some other legitimate way. They have no way to prove (or you to disprove) your consent.

I just treat them all as spam, and report/block accordingly.

iOS 26 gave people the built-in call screening, which has been amazing for weeding out garbage calls, at least. Text messages are a different evil, but there are apps you can use to trash text messages that contain specific words, etc.

So does Claude. Just because the user-facing features forget it, doesn’t mean the company does.

forcing

Yeah, those poor capitalists forced to jack up prices to take advantage of shortages.

Heh, mail-in voting in my state uses that same “envelopes with barcodes” stuff. So more smoke and mirrors from this admin, for sure, since they want to get rid of mail-in ballots but still require all the steps those require, minus the mail part…
