What are the odds of two billionaires sharing a jail cell? Has it ever happened before? Or I guess SBF is a former billionaire on paper so maybe he doesn't count. Either way, its nice to see the legal system locking up monsters.

Poirot. It's charming, full of mostly subtle humor, and generally just well written, acted, and produced. I appreciate that it has a deeply humane perspective where justice matters, and that effort has been put into historical accuracy. It's also sufficiently detached from contemporary reality that its not a downer to watch even though it still has a very honest view of human nature.

I think part of the problem, at least for me, is the horrible color temp most headlights use now. They are like 6500k hard white light instead of something less harsh like around 3500k that is much easier on the eyes. I think the only criteria they care about when selecting LEDs is maximum brightness so this is what we get.

You should take a look at how simple civics tests have already been used in the US election system. It did not go well.

No? Growing up around conservatives I remember them talking a whole lot of shit. If they thought you were a liberal that shit would get directed at you. Things weren't quite as bad back then compared to now, but they were still whiny hateful assholes.

He is a billionaire with at least one private jet, and they have recordings of him threatening and attempting to bribe witnesses.

That's a dangerous path, and also very likely unconstitutional in the US.

It's one factor among several. Another large factor is that Chrome was easier to deploy and manage in a corporate environment for many years. Really until Edge came out a whole lot of people had it foisted on them via their IT department at work, I'm sure many still do but Edge has definitely changed things and made that less common since it gets included with the OS. Combined with Google constantly pushing it everywhere these workers were guaranteed to encounter the option to download it at home even if they didn't explicitly seek it out, and since they already used it at work it wasn't a scary download it was familiar and made by that great company Google that everyone is so impressed by. They click the download and that's that, they don't even know Firefox is an option.

Vance is referencing curry because Laura Loomer recently said the White House will smell like curry if Harris wins.

Reading over the details, he is fucked. There's no way he isn't spending a long time in prison, probably the rest of his life.
