“I mean, you have Tim Walz, who is a huge jerk, running on stage with the Tesla stock price, where the stock price has gone in half—and he is overjoyed,” he said. “What an evil thing to do. What a creep, what a jerk. Like, who derives joy from that?”
We all derive joy from watching the villain get their just deserts.
Ah, I see your point. Yes, he should have kept the tip when you look at it that way.
No. The system automatically adds an 18% tip. Because of their message, he removed the tip from their CC charge.
Yes. It is a U.S. territory.
- Persons born in Puerto Rico on or after April 11, 1899
All persons born in Puerto Rico on or after April 11, 1899, and prior to January 13, 1941, subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, residing on January 13, 1941, in Puerto Rico or other territory over which the United States exercises rights of sovereignty and not citizens of the United States under any other Act, are declared to be citizens of the United States as of January 13, 1941. All persons born in Puerto Rico on or after January 13, 1941, and subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, are citizens of the United States at birth.
Punchline for those who don’t want to read the article: He’s Puerto Rican.
As much as I love to hate on billionaires, Pritzker is the exception to the rule. He’s been using his money and influence to help workers and the downtrodden since he became Governor of Illinois.
And we pinky-swear that we will not wait three to six months and then fire for some other made up reason that you can disprove.
Obviously he was just there to make sure everyone using the women’s restroom had and honest, God-given pussy.
Russia has been sending out specially crafted QR code in phishing attempts. The codes use the Linked Devices feature of Signal. If they can get one of these idiots to scan the code, the hacker’s device will be copied in on all the user’s messages. Now, given how stupid the people in this administration are, how hard do you think it will be, or more likely, how hard it was to to get them to scan such a code?
Signal is not safe for them to use. The pentagon issued a warning last year that Signal was not safe for non-public communications. Google also put out a threat alert about it more than a month ago.
One of the means used by Russia is crafting special QR codes, that take advantage of the Connected Devices feature, and sending them to users. If the user is tricked into scanning the code, then the hacker’s device will then be copied in on all of that user’s Signal messages. I wouldn’t trust any one of these people to be smart enough to recognize a phishing attempt like that. I would be surprised if one or more foreign powers weren’t also copied in on all these messages too.
It is beyond stupid for these people to be using an app like this for confidential or secret communications.
It’s like an entire administration full of Rudy Giulianis. He had a history of butt-dialing and accidentally leaving unfortunate (for him) voice mails on reporter’s phones.
Because, for the last four or five decades, the wealthy in America have used assorted media to foment never ending religious, economic, and racial culture wars between different elements of the middle and lower classes. That constant state of conflict keeps the American people from ever being able to unite and accomplish anything at all.

While some early Tesla models, including the Model S, were prone to spontaneously catch fire if they suffered underbody damage, it’s unlikely the Cybertruck, which has been recalled seven times since it went on sale in November 2023, was released with a similar flaw.
Nah, no chance a cybertruck would have the same flaw. No chance at all, am I right?
Depends what you like. I’ve been enjoying Space Pirate Trainer and Gun Club VR. Single player FPS types where you shoot down waves of attackers. Hands down favorite, though, is Half-Life: Alyx. Great story, very immersive, and the use of VR is top notch.
A bipartisan group of 12 senators has urged the Transportation Security Administration’s inspector general to investigate the agency’s use of facial recognition, saying it poses a significant threat to privacy and civil liberties.
To which the TSA probably said, “Well, duh!”
Not one they love or, I imagine, that loves them.
I am not an expert, but I am assuming that the interference would slow down mobile data, lower sound quality on mobile phone calls, and probably more dropped calls. Much as I hate AT&T, I am on their side for this one. An “an 18% average reduction in network downlink throughput” sounds significant to me.
Knowing Trump’s irrationality, he just wants to erase all the market gains from when Biden was in office. That means he’ll keep at it until the DOW looses another 10,000 points or so.
