Owning property for the purpose of rent should be illegal. No, strike that, unconstitutional.

I mean i could see this for low occupancy buildings, that were meant for one or 2 families, but i don't really see the problem of large rental complexes.

At some point someone is going to give an order to not let them any further and someone is going to start shooting right?

Maybe letting a bunch of people out of jail and giving them a gun while not being directly under your governments control is a bad idea.

The National Music Publishers’ Association (NMPA) is representing the coalition in the suit, which claims that publishers sent copyright violation notices for 1,700 songs, on which the social network took no action. The coalition is seeking fines of up to $150,000 per violation.

“Twitter has engaged in, knowingly facilitated, and profited from copyright infringement, at the expense of music creators, to whom Twitter pays nothing,” the plaintiffs allege.

Just going by the map Commissar posts, it looks like Russia has control over more territory than before.  Or am I reading it wrong?

Its basically a stalemate and has been since Ukraine made massive gains last fall.

Looks promising, still a bit rough though, and i hope they don't end up adding creeps and hero units that level up, didn't enjoy that in WC3, works for campaign stuff but not multiplayer IMO.

Its not really political at all, if he did the normal thing and just returned all the documents then yeah thats a political thing where any normal person would have been bent right over, but he didn't do that, he openly defied orders to return the material, this is just straight up law and order stuff now.  Theres also zero downside for the democratic party to go alone with it either, as plenty of GOPers do just want him gone even if they'd vote for him in the general, and the people who'd really care are already too far gone.

If anything its a net positive that theres a chance presidents might go to jail if they're complete corrupt turds.

This was from this morning.

Hearing these stories, sometimes I wish I bothered to learn real skills. 

Knowing people has been far more beneficial to me than my skills, even if to just tell you about a position opening up.

The worst part is that today we're not getting like any sun so its not warming up at all, so while its supposed to be in the 70s, its still only 50 degrees at 9:30.  Yesterday it warmed up into the 70s before the smoke showed up and dropped into the 60s by the early after noon cause of it.

There was an atlantic article a week ago that came out on him that wasn't pretty, and speculation was that it was going to lead to him getting axed.

Left my old job about 3 years ago making ~70% more than i was, but since my old workplace has given substantial pay increases, so if i had stayed i'd still be up quite a bit, but probably just more like 30%.  Currently looks like i'll be moving to a new position, unless something happens and they don't open the position, thats initially a lateral move but ramps up ~2500 a year for 6 years till i hit the contract pay rate, but that will also be going up over that time, but will go up faster than my current job.

Dear Canada,
Please stop setting your forests on fire.

Its been super dry here as well, been a month since we've had a real rain, just a couple light rains for a few minutes is all really.

Wonder if the train I just saw in town packed with military support vehicles and some smaller JLTV type vehicles are headed to Ukraine, as they were headed east, this town is a layover spot when drivers hit hour caps and usually they sit all day for the driver to get rest, this one did a swap of drivers and took off ASAP. Course I haven't seen a military train here ever so dunno if that's standard for military transport. 

Pro tip, use instacart, or store pick up options, wait for all orders to be ready then you get all the crap you want from the stores you want it from in like an hour, costs slightly more with instacart but the time savings especially with kids is worth it.

Lol.......you're in the right corner of the continuous United States.

 

I may have overestimated the areas with both the prevalence/popularity of the following:

• Beers- PBR, Rolling Rock, Narragansett, Yueungling, Utica Club
• Stores- Walmart, Target, Aldi
• Farmer's Markets

Upstate NY, just cause of Utica.

I've only ever been to an American Target once in my life...and it's exactly like Canadian Walmart. So, knowing that...I fear ever having to go into an American Walmart. 

I mean its going to vary but for the most part if theres a walmart and a target in a city/town, go to the target, lol.

Sometimes I need light bulbs, socks, a wok and beer at one time.

Pretty sure Target has you covered here, at least the one near me has all this stuff.

Target is garbage. Not sure why anyone goes there 

You shop at target so you don't run into the people who shop at walmart, thats really it.

And after all that blustering about graphics card sales being down.

 

Oh and after a hilariously cringy datacenter presentation.

 

 

GPU sales are bad right now at least on the gaming side of things, markets are betting on AI making these companies literal tons of cash.
