I wondered if we would see vision restored more to normal when I heard about Wonder Man coming out. In the original comics, Wonder Man was the source for Vision’s brain pattern. I wonder if there will be a tie-in of some sort as a nod to the comic Vision’s origin.

Is it odd that exercise makes me less hungry? When I work out in the morning (30-45 minutes on my elliptical machine) before breakfast, I have no particular desire to eat. If I skip breakfast, I don’t really get hungry until lunchtime. On days when I don’t work out and try to skip breakfast, I end up struggling to think about anything other than food all morning.

The assessment found that PFNA interferes with human development by causing lower birth weights and, based on animal evidence, likely causes damage to the liver and to male reproductive systems, including reductions in testosterone levels, sperm production and the size of reproductive organs.

Likely causes reductions in the size of reproductive organs. You would think that this at least would get the attention of these people. I know they don’t care about much, but I’m shocked that they are not panicked over the likelihood that their sons are all going to have tiny dicks like Trump.

“‘Someone’ cancelled my family’s flight out of the country at the last second,” Bray posted on Bluesky social media. “We got our boarding passes. We checked our bags. Went through security. Then at our gate our reservation ‘disappeared.’”

I confess that I know nothing about cancelling reservations like this, but who exactly has the power to cancel a reservation after you’ve gone through security, picked up your boarding passes, and checked your bags? Could some rando have called the airline and done it at that point? I would think that the computer would flag the customer service person that the traveler was already checked in and ready to board. But then, maybe I’m giving their systems too much credit.

Interesting. I can see it fine on Firefox. I’m on version 143.0.4. Are you maybe using an extension like NoScript that might be blocking it?

Yes, this is basically the Riddle of Epicurus.

If God is willing to prevent evil, but not able, He is not omnipotent. If He is able, but not willing, He is malevolent. If He is both able and willing, then whence comes evil? If He is neither able nor willing, why call Him God?

I like to put it this way: Omniscient, Omnipotent, Benevolent - Choose any two. The evidence around us is ample proof that God cannot have all three properties.

The people that won were the only bidders.

And they may not even get it.

Federal officials did not immediately say if they would accept the offer. It was the only bid received.

The Fed could end up saying that the bid was too low and may not accept it despite there being no other offers. This is far, far less than they were hoping for, I’m sure. Per the article, the last successful lease in the area was “$793 million, or $1.10 per ton, for 721 million tons of coal in Wyoming.” This bid is $186,000 to lease 167 million tons which comes to something like like $0.001 per ton. The last coal lease was worth 1000 times more than this bid.

Parente also offered to play an agent’s body-camera video that shows the shooting, noting that prosecutors did not show the video that he claimed disputes the government’s version of the shooting.

Parente said the video shows an agent turn a federal vehicle left into Martinez’s vehicle, after which an agent says, “Do something b----.” The agent then exits the vehicle and shoots at Martinez.

Sure sounds like attempted murder under the color of law to me.

Yeah, in retrospect, I guess I wasn’t very clear there, was I.

Why is this site pretending this is a new story? It happened in 2023 .

That’s a tough one. There is a spray you can get, Bitter Apple. Most cats hate the smell and will avoid it. In your shoes, I would get some and spray a little on a wash cloth or similar and tuck it in the sling. That may keep him from crowding the sling and stepping on your injury. Don’t spray yourself or your sling directly though. If the odor is too offensive and makes him stay away entirely, you can toss the washcloth in the laundry and try something else.

Bitter Apple Spray - Note, this talks about the spray as a chewing deterrent, but in my experience cats will avoid areas where it’s been sprayed. Just remember to start small. You wouldn’t want your boy to start avoiding you completely.

No. According to an article the IDs were from people who were challenging an age determination. Still bullshit, but you don’t need ID to use Discord as a general rule.

The unauthorized party also accessed a “small number” of images of government IDs from “users who had appealed an age determination.”

Small is, of course, a relative term. I would consider a small number to be 2 or 3. They may feel that 10,000 users is a small number. Who can say?

Did you notice that Trump called them “unlawful combatants” in this article? That phrase may ring a bell.

George W. Bush’s cronies invented the phrase during his reign of terror, or as he called it, his war on terror. He said that there were people who were neither enemy combatants, nor civilians. They were a third category: Unlawful Combatants. The conventions that protect prisoners of war did not apply to such _unlawful _ combatants. Such people could be arrested, indefinitely detained, tortured, or even killed without charge or trial. This was the justification for G. W. Bush’s extraordinary rendition program that had U.S. agencies kidnapping people off the streets of the US and other nations and shipping them to black sites where they could be tortured indefinitely.

The repeated use of the phrases unlawful combatant and narco-terrorist tells me all I need to know about where they plan to go with this.

Poe’s Law. Without a clear indicator, a lot of people took it as OP believing this.

“LEAVE DONNY ALONE!” - Ted Cruz while sobbing uncontrollably.

Probably not and they have no intention to. They will give themselves bonuses and stock dividends that will eat up all the income from selling the IP (and everything else) and then leave the company with nothing but debt forcing it to declare bankruptcy.

I’m giving 5 to 1 that within the first three months some script kiddie will take one for a joy ride around campus.

This has got to be some form of vulture capitalism. They will sell off all the IP and physical property, either directly or by spinning off divisions into new companies to sell off. Then sell off any other pieces of the company that they can, and finally they’ll take all that income as bonuses for the new owners and leave the remains of EA with nothing but debt and no option other than to file for bankruptcy. Same thing that was done to companies like Toys-R-Us but on a larger scale.

Laws are to protect the elite, not the common people.
