Never talks of raising taxes on landlords and empty units tho.

Canada passed this law in 2022 addressing that:

Underused Housing Tax

But on the other hand, all of that stuff could be insured against.

Thats exactly what PMI (Private mortgage insurance) covers. However if the insurance company doesn't think you're a good risk, then you might not be able to get that either. I have never looked at what criteria they use to grant or deny PMI. I've also never known anyone personally denied PMI.

because we all know that Biden will ship harder for Netty-Boo

Don't forget your fight is also with the House of Representatives now. Biden did stop shipping some weapons to Israel and Congress forced the shipments of weapons to start again.

"House passes bill to undo Biden’s partial Israel weapons hold"

Since the collapse of peace talks between Ukraine and Russia in April-May 2022

This was just 2 to 3 months after Bucha massacre and this rag has the gal to call what Russia has ever offered as "peace". Total bullshit.

Its extremely helpful that people post that stuff. It shows that they lack the boundaries needed to work in a professional environment and you should avoid hiring them.

Likely lots of hole in the guy from shrapnel and he would bled out in the next 15 to 60 minutes.

It wasn't smart on the part of the russian killer. We've seen UA Defenders drop grenades on injured, but living invaders. This russian killer just freed up another UA drone and operator to go after able bodied invaders.

While an FPU (Floating Point Unit aka math coprocessor) would be nice, the 386SX is still a 16-bit CPU. The 386DX is a 32-bit CPU (and would still need a 387 for a dedicated FPU). In the 486 line SX meant no FPU, while DX meant FPU inside.

The lawsuit centered on the objections of a coalition of small businesses

One business and a few individuals apparently.

From another source:

The ruling from U.S. District Judge Reed O'Connor focuses on claims from Braidwood Management, a Christian for-profit corporation owned by Steven Hotze, that its rights were violated by the mandate under the Religious Freedom Restoration Act.

And that complaint is:

But Hotze, whose company provides health insurance to about 70 employees, argued that offering coverage for PrEP drugs encouraged "homosexual behavior" and violated "his religious beliefs by making him complicit in encouraging those behaviors."

So some old fashion christian homophobic and even heterosexual shaming is the basis for this law suit.

This could be very useful to run really old PC tied commercial and industrial equipment. There is a surprising amount of old systems still keeping our lives running in small niche ways. It could be:

The fact that this has all the legacy ports of:

  • IEEE 1284 parallel printer port
  • RS-232 serial port
  • a 16 bit ISA slot breakout!

...gives this some of the newest hardware I can think of that still interfaces with old ancient hardware.

I think you're confusing fame with infamy.

Manufacturers should include a second GPS in these units that doesn't block operation of the machine, but produces a kind of intermittent error code that makes the operator contact tech support. Tech support gives an instruction to the operator that clears the error.

However, included in the error string, which tech support now has, was obfuscated GPS coordinates that the manufacturer can decode. Provide these GPS coordinates to the Ukrainian military for priority targeting of the factories.

So wholesome!

 

Tom Smothers, half of the Smothers Brothers and the co-host of one of the most socially conscious and groundbreaking television shows in the history of the medium, has died at 86.

The National Comedy Center, on behalf of his family, said in a statement Wednesday that Smothers died Tuesday at home in Santa Rosa, California, following a cancer battle.

“I’m just devastated,” his brother and the duo’s other half, Dick Smothers, told The Associated Press in an interview Wednesday. “Every breath I’ve taken, my brother’s been around.”
