Unverified Legal Defense Fund*: https://www.givesendgo.com/legalfund-ceo-shooting-suspect

* I have no confirmation that this is legit not some sort of fraud nor, if it is kegit, what percentage will go towards his legal fees. But I choose to believe that it is what it claims to be and nothing more.

You’re having a rough day. Seems like everybody wants a piece of you and they aren’t kind about it. So you put on some ear protection, grab your leaf blower and step outside. Nobody bothers you out there. The leaf blower yells nonstop the way you wish you could and even though you aren’t doing the yelling, there is still something cathartic about the noise. It creates a bubble where you are left alone. As the minutes pass and the debris collects into neat little piles, you can slowly regain your calm. The urge to explode, unleashing your anger and frustration, in an irreparable way ebbs and you feel like you can hold your shit together for a little while longer.

Or they are in a feud with their neighbors and are trying to piss them off.

I am going to need you to define what it means to you to be “pure of heart”.

There is a decent chance that you will find an answer to your question by doing this.

So 0.5% of his reported $10+ million annually compensation package.

Interesting that neither his colleagues nor family are chipping in to make this larger.

Elon Musk could lose, spend, and / or give away 99% of his net worth and still be a multi-billionaire.

Do they? Most cartoon kings I can think of have either white or gray hair.

Or, if you are in the top 0.001% of listeners, security teams around that artist should have your picture.

I’ve seen enough horror movies to know that these dolls are going to murder anybody that takes them home.

I was once working with a team in India to resolve a database issue. During a particular call, we had to export data several times to create backups. Exporting the DB data is done with “dump” commands and my Indian counterpart would repeatedly tell me that he “took a dump just now”.

WOW! Not much in the news has shocked and surprised me as much as this article has.

Victor Willis says he will take legal action against any news organization that suggest “Y.M.C.A.” is a gay anthem beginning in January 2025

I’m really curious to know what legal action he intends to take. Doesn’t he have to show some sort of damages for any hope of not throwing his money away on frivolous lawsuits that will go nowhere?

allegations of financial mismanagement, sexual impropriety and personal misconduct

I am seeing a pattern forming with this next administration. Good job America!

Would it be better or worse if they were all made on the same day?

It is eeally odd that the company, Tesla, is fighting so hard to give away 56 BILLION DOLLARS. That really does not sound like an efficient use of resources. I mean, how much money did they spend just on fighting these legal battles to give away even more money? Seems like the more efficient thing to do would be to accept the first decision that allowed them to keep all of that money.

The person or people pushing for this pay package should never put in a position to evaluate and recommend effeciency of anything. Fortunately, there are only a small handful of people on this planet stupid enough to assign them to such a position. 🙄

Elon Musk floats buying MSNBC, but he’s not the only billionaire who may be interested

That and similar incidents probably played a big part in that decision.

They forgot to say “and this time we mean it”. How is Russia supposed to take NATO seriously if they don’t include that?

Here are a couple of items that I wish that I had picked up earlier. They are not required, but they greatly simplified my life.

• headlamp: Trying to balance or prop up a flashlight while working used to result in so much frustration.
• tin sheers: I love these so much that they have replaced scissors in most day-to-day applications
• flexible drill bit extender: So many screws are in places inaccessible to a drill body. This inexpensive item solves that problem. Magnetic wristbands: Keep those screws and bits from getting lost.
• level that is at least 2ft long: I really appreciate having a level that can span two studs (16")
• precision / mini needle nose pliers: I don’t need them often, but when I do I am always happy that I have them
• painters tape: I am surpised how often I use painters tape for all sorts of applications

It’s easier and generally more acceptable to ask here than in the grocery store.
