Never use the backstabbing holes on electrical receptacles.

They come loose over time and can cause shorts and fires. Faster if the house is prone to settling.

He’s a disgrace to humanity, for that matter.

I had one of those! Heavy as hell with a half sphere on the bottom where the caps would go, right?

You’re misunderstanding my point. He has chronic back pain and additional related symptoms. His pain will likely worsen with the poor care in prison versus the care he ensure he gets at home. He has limitless resources to continue pursuing new treatments for his condition. He’ll suffer plenty in prison.

He had a lot on the line, and I believe his choice indicates his desire to impact the system for everyone’s benefit regardless of his personal repercussions. Someone in a more desperate state could fall into the, “well, what do I have to lose?” mindset.

Nah. We only shifted from domestic manufacturing in the late 70s/early 80s. The last fifty years have been a rapid shift to Chinese production due to the low price resulting from the posted picture.

Just ask a Gen-Xer about the super safe American made die-cast steel toys they used to hit their siblings with.

Absolutely. That’s my point. Prison is the same bottom floor, but he’ll fall from a further height. It shows how committed he was to the decision. I’m sure it didn’t come easy.

His grandfather owned so much of Baltimore in the 70s that people asked if he was in the mafia. His family owns country clubs, golf resorts, and assisted living facilities, and has donated $1M to a family center hospital.

Like I said, they can afford an attorney.

As I said, I double checked the numbers I cited and could only find them in the NY Post, where I copied them from. I don’t consider it a credible enough source without corroboration, so I removed the numbers.

I’m in no way pitting the working class against him. I’m simply saying the type of support he needs from the masses is not financial. My initial point about him giving up a good life was intended to illustrate that he had much more to risk, and did it anyway.

A California-based startup called Savor has figured out a unique way to make a butter alternative that doesn’t involve livestock, plants, or even displacing land. Their butter is produced from synthetic fat made using carbon dioxide and hydrogen, and the best part is —- it tastes just like regular butter.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court on Thursday made it harder for the federal government to win court orders when it suspects a company of interfering in unionization campaigns in a case that stemmed from a labor dispute with Starbucks.

The justices tightened the standards for when a federal court should issue an order to protect the jobs of workers during a union organizing campaign.

The court rejected a rule that some courts had applied to orders sought by the National Labor Relations Board in favor of a higher threshold, sought by Starbucks, that must be met in most other fights over court orders, or injunctions.

The NLRB had argued that the National Labor Relations Act, the law that governs the agency, has for more than 75 years allowed courts to grant temporary injunctions if they find requests “just and proper.” The agency said the law doesn’t require it to prove other factors and was intended to limit the role of the courts.

The case began in February 2022, when Starbucks fired seven workers who were trying to unionize their Tennessee store. The NLRB obtained a court order forcing the company to rehire the workers while the case wound its way through the agency’s administrative proceedings. Such proceedings can take up to two years.

 

The prosecution contends the reimbursements were falsely classified as legal expenses to conceal their true nature — part of a hush-money deal with Daniels. Prosecutors also say this was done to affect the election’s outcome, not merely to save Trump personal embarrassment, and therefore amounts to election interference.

Trump’s team argues the money paid to Cohen, who in the past said he would take a bullet for Trump but has also become an aggressive critic of the former president, was indeed for legal services.

 

Israel must immediately halt its military operations in the area of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip, the United Nations top court ruled on Friday.

The ruling by the International Court of Justice marks a major condemnation of how Israel is conducting its war against Hamas in Gaza, but also leaves open whether the ruling can be enforced.

 

A former U.S. military intelligence official released a letter on Monday that explained to his colleagues at the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) that his November resignation was in fact due to "moral injury" stemming from U.S. support for Israel's war in Gaza and the harm caused to Palestinians.

 

In a Truth Social post, Trump attacked Biden − and Hamas − by accusing the president of "taking the side of these terrorists, just like he has sided with the Radical Mobs taking over our college campuses."
