I'm interested in why here. I'm not going anywhere any time soon, and I figure the 15 year at the lower rate is going to let me pay off sooner and save more.

That's Canada percentages. That's like 2.5% in real percentages.

I've been quoted low 2's for a 15 yr on my remaining principal. Might get on that next week. Paying my house off by age 50 would be pretty rad.

I'm hoping this doesn't affect the US markets, because I'm about to refinance my house.

Why are they afraid of The Coin?

"Praises out Joe Manchin" is confusing, but that seems like a Jason-ism.

I guess THAT... is why THIS happened. Biden quietly moves to start closing Guantánamo ahead of 20th anniversary of 9/11 WWW.NBCNEWS.COM The Biden team wants to avoid what it sees as mistakes made by Obama. "They don't want it to become a lightning rod," said a former senior official.

I've seen this first hand. Churches don't even have to be militantly anti-vaccine to do harm... They can just not say anything about it or treat this whole thing as temporary and still do just as much harm. By not speaking out, it allows this space for all the other anti-vax stuff to grow.

Figure 49 in the report.

That is rad as hell.

The videos I've seen of the shooter in the act (which are really bad) show him wearing a Nazi WW2 helmet.

Just call me Miss Cleo.

Well this is a lot more interesting now. EDIT: Cops are saying the two cases are unrelated. I remain disinterested.

They made a movie about it in 1983 starring Merryl Streep, Kurt Russell, and Cher (of all people). But yeah, this sort of shit is more pervasive around whistleblower complaints than you think.

This isn't really a national story. Crying white girl on video and a husband unwilling to talk about it means big media firestorm. They had a fight, he threw her out of the van and drove off. She either went back to the commune they had left and is just unable to be contacted, or went into the desert and died. He's either laying low now to avoid more firestorm, or he's retracing his steps. Or he went off and killed himself in a swamp.

That is the biggest French victory over England since I don't know when.

Also, more context is that this is a big L for Macron, who is about to head into an election. So it's really bad timing for him, politically.

CANNOT. BE. FOUND. IT'S OURS, DAMMIT

And a quality one won't be found outside of Nashville.

The more I think about how rickety of a deal this is, the more I believe that it's a push by US intelligence to pressure the Australian government to buff their defense capabilities and allow for US basing as a hedge against China. I don't mean to be all "The CIA is behind it" but the US intel/defense sector being a primary force behind this turnabout kinda makes sense. It directly serves US interests in strengthening western (non-French, who really haven't cared about Chinese moves in the Pacific) power in the Pacific, and it benefits US defense contracts. Plus... it wouldn't be the most blatant meddling in Australian politics we've ever done! 1975 Australian constitutional crisis - Wikipedia EN.WIKIPEDIA.ORG

If anyone is in Nashville in the future, here's my recommendation: Hot chicken sandwich - Tennessee Brew Works Fried Hot chicken (oil based) - Prince's Chicken tenders that have hot breading (oil/powder based--NOT buffalo) - Hattie B's

Living in Nashville, I have a plethora of options for hot chicken. Sandwiches aren't usually what I go for. But they can be damn good. Some of you need to come down here so I can show you what real hot chicken is. Your assholes will hate me.

I threw in some dollars. Hope it helps. It's no fun seeing a pet need surgery and being surprised by a big bill. Yay for pet insurance though. That's really good.

The fuel process does not exclusively have to arrive at nuclear weapons material. It comes back to a lot of things that bmbmbm mentioned. In the 60s, the only nuclear power technology we had was that which lead to The Bomb. Safety issues surrounding the production of the fuel were pretty common. And the anti-nuclear weapons movement was coming into prominence. All of that combined pretty well for all those boomer hippies. Now, the CORRECT analysis of it all leads to the conclusion that you CAN have green power and reduce CO2 emissions WITH nuclear power. The nuclear weapons thing can be alleviated with different fuel cycles and processing techniques and reactor designs (which currently exist). The safety issue was solely because of corporate resistance to regulation and federal regulators just not going after those safety issues (and the federal agencies surrounding weapons production CAUSING many of the safety issues). If you haven't heard of Karen Silkwood, she was a technician that worked at a fuel production plant in Oklahoma that uncovered a bunch of safety regulations the company was violating. She started blowing the whistle. And mYsTeRiOusLy she wound up being contaminated with uranium in a few instances, including her house. And as she was traveling to hand over documents to a reporter to further add proof to the accusations, she was run off the road and killed. The documents she had were never recovered. Basically, the company she worked for had her bumped off because she was trying to make work safer, which would mean fewer profits. Shit like that is why all this is intertwined.
