    Lots of, but not the majority. They could have picked many other things that would seem fun for much larger groups of people, but that would be counterproductive for trying to convince you to work forever.

    edit: note that I live on a vacation destination for golf and cruises, and this is still my impression.

    But not all of their reporting, as far as I can tell those accusations are around the politics in India, which is hardly strange. Saying all their reporting is false is like saying FoxNews’ reporting on archaeology and deep space discovery is false just because their political stories are mostly bullshit, even though they’re just repeating the same archaeology and space content as everyone else. Get back to me with proof that particular story is actually false then.

    They established this in one of the most disturbing MythBusters episodes years ago.

    edit: actually, I’ve realized in that episode that the toilet didn’t have a lid, so while the experiment wasn’t the same, you can probably draw the same conclusion when control toothbrushes outside the bathroom were also affected

    Maui is currently flooding with helicopter rescues, I used to live on this street

    https://youtu.be/-94Ebr019pM?si=qnpBYxmmgbDfrlDi https://youtu.be/QXE358WewnQ?si=ReXKtdGvn87OCaq2 These videos were from 4 hours ago and there’s still torrential rain now. edit: in case anyone is wondering, no, I am not mattweiss edit: so this is how it’s been going… it rained most of last night, started the morning with flood warnings until 8:30am, then was revised to 11:30am, then again until 7:15pm. It is currently 7:22p, and no end in sight yet. Part of the problem is a phenomenon called “training”, where instead of storms just passing through, they’ll get stuck on the mountain and will pass over the same areas multiple times like a train on tracks. You just have to hope something eventually changes to blow itself off and away from the track. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Training_(meteorology)

    Get Humble Choice and other package titles for cheaper

    tl;dr: key shops... use [https://gg.deals](https://gg.deals) as a finder For those who didn't know, whenever Humble Bundle or other services have a package available, you can ***usually*** find the individual titles for even cheaper than you normally would at keyshops if you don't want/need the whole package. For example, [this month's Humble Choice](https://www.humblebundle.com/membership/home) is $11.99, but I only wanted to add Aragami 2, The Red Lantern, and Twin Mirror to my collection. Using the above gg.deals website, it pointed me to: - Aragami 2 - driffle - $2.41 - The Red Lantern - kinguin - $0.78 - Twin Mirror - kinguin - $1.27 Total: $4.46 Those prices were the final I paid after discount codes and service fees, but may change at any time for better or worse at different shops. Hope this is helpful to someone, this concludes this PSA. edit: regarding possible scams from gray markets I have purchased literally hundreds of steam keys from such shops over the years and have had a grand total of only 3 keys be removed from my account within days or weeks, and was granted refunds from the shops when I provided proof from Steam that the keys were rejected as duplicates. Every game I’ve installed other than those 3 have worked without issues. It’s an educated risk that I failed to mention because it’s been over 99% successful for me. Make your own call. edit2: Also worth mentioning that there are many games in my Steam account that were added after the games were delisted, such as the original GTA Trilogy, solely because I could still find keys on keyshops. If you want a delisted game, it’s worth considering.

Others, presumably those who have used the app before, are still seeing the app available in their cars. > We were told that Tesla didn’t officially give a reason to Disney, but the message was sort of “read between the lines.”

    Trump Caught Moving Money Around to Pay Massive Tax Bill www.thedailybeast.com

    A court-ordered financial auditor has caught Donald Trump quietly moving $40 million from the Trump Organization into a personal bank account—seemingly so the former president could pay his whopping $29 million tax bill. Trump isn’t supposed to be moving any money around without alerting Barbara S. Jones, a former federal judge in New York tasked with babysitting the Trump Organization for its relentlessly shady business practices. But on Wednesday, she notified a New York state court about some major bank transfers that were never brought to her attention by the Trumps.
