In addition to all of the above thread, there’s also two ways to “value” jewelry. A) How much you could get someone to pay you for the item if you sold it, and B) How much it would cost to replace it with something identical or equivalent. Usually B is waaaaaay more expensive than A, unless it’s common Walmart jewelry counter grade stuff. And even then, B is merely waaay more expensive than A.

Plans to rebuild an underground shelter that could once again provide protection for key White House officials

So, what I’m reading is that they’re currently unprotected.

But Dr. Milhoan said that making the vaccines optional, rather than requiring them for entry into public schools nationwide, as is now the case, would ultimately restore trust in public health.

So, they already are optional. It’s just that there are consequences for choosing that option (can’t get into public schools), and Republicans hate consequences. Except, dying from measles, or getting paralyzed by polio, are also consequences.

I’m beginning to think that this is really just a ploy to make public schools unsafe, so that people that can afford it shift to for profit private schools, which of course will be allowed to continue to require vaccines.

I can’t argue with that.

Are you maybe confusing El Salvador with Venezuela? I’m specifically talking about CECOT.

If there is any justice

these fucknuts will be spending life getting beaten in an El Salvadoran prison.

but instead give us a heap of AI-generated code and say “just put this in.”

we now have to reverse-engineer the requirements from their crappy AI code.

It may be time for some malicious compliance.

Don’t reverse engineer anything. Do as your told and “just put this in” and deploy it. Everything will break and management will explode, but now you’ve demonstrated that they can’t just replace you with AI.

Now explain what you’ve been doing (reverse engineering to figure out their requirements), but that you’re not going to do that anymore. They need to either give you proper requirements so that you can write properly working code, or they give you AI slop and you’re just going to “put it in” without a second thought.

You’ll need your whole team on board for this to work, but what are they going to do, fire the whole team and replace them with AI? You’ll have already demonstrated that that’s not an option.

Confirmed: https://www.nbcnews.com/video/danish-lawmaker-delivers-blunt-message-to-trump-over-greenland-229888069703 <- article from January, 2025

I found a bunch of “reputable” news sites all talking about this as if it just happened. I had to really dig to find something actually posted a year ago, but… there it is.

I fucking hate this “rush to publish, fact check later never” news cycle.

So, the date in the video above seems to be intentionally misleading. Downvoting.

Where are you getting that information? The article very clearly indicates that this happened on Jan 20, 2026, and there’s no date that I see visible in the video (in the article).

Edit. The video posted above actually does have a date, and it’s January 20, 2026. So, not a year ago at all.

one that saw the lawmaker censured for his use of an expletive.

Trump is rapidly turning one of their former allies into one of their worst enemies (against the will of it’s own people), and these asshats are afraid of someone using adult words.

I thought you meant actual staples… like for your stapler, and I was like, “Ok, you do you. Who am I to judge how someone prepares for the apocalypse?”

I think you mean more blurred, not less.

A less blurred line would be more distinct, providing a stronger, more obvious separation between the two.

A more blurred line is fuzzier, making it more difficult to tell where one ends and the other starts.

I’m thinking terrorism, but I’ll settle for whatever sticks and makes all of these traitors reevaluate their life choices.

Don’t be, Evil Larry!

I’m not the person you’re responding to, but here’s one.

https://abcnews.go.com/Health/flu-activity-continues-climb-us-11-million-cases/story?id=128891188

The percent of outpatient visits for respiratory illnesses are now at the highest rate on record.

About 8% of visits to a health care provider were labeled as flu-like illness, surpassing any levels seen since 1997, the earliest for which data is available.

Data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows that influenza activity in North America remains relatively low but is increasing, driven mainly by detections of influenza A viruses.

I’m having a really hard time reconciling that quote with this one from yesterday.

The percent of outpatient visits for respiratory illnesses are now at the highest rate on record.

About 8% of visits to a health care provider were labeled as flu-like illness, surpassing any levels seen since 1997, the earliest for which data is available.

”remains relatively low” vs “highest rate on record” seem contradictory.
