Using states as a unit of measure for forest fires seems to be a common thing. A couple decades ago I flew into Fairbanks Alaska , and as we were getting close to landing the pilot told everybody not to panic if we smelled smoke because it was just the forest fires that were covering an area the size of Massachusetts.
Somebody had to defuse all the sea mines that washed ashore during WWII…
I loved the bit where he spent a small pile of that money on an Inverted Jenny postage stamp then used it to send a postcard.
I’m very close to you but I did get married in my late 40’s and my wife was mid-40’s. Neither of us ever wanted kids, nor had either of us ever considered marriage until we met each other. The marriage is more about dealing with elderly parents, insurance, shared assets like our home, etc. than anything else.
If he/they did go through with this I’d start a GoFundMe to reward the employee(s) that successfully sabotages the effort, wether by substituting their own sample or any other verifiable means.
You really think these people are able to get credit cards without defaulting on them almost immediately?
Don’t know why you’re being downvoted… My employer sees a lot of bot activity on our sites, which are hosted in AWS and protected by Akamai. It’s Akamai that informs us when a bot visits our site, and Akamai that lets us block it. Google never sees this traffic.
Biden can just write “official act” in the memo field of a $90 million check…
It’s Elons pet project. No way they discontinue it as long as he’s CEO. He’ll never admit it was a terrible idea.
I got a free Echo Dot a number of years ago when I attended an AWS conference. I played briefly with it but never found it all that useful. I certainly never would have trusted using it to order things from Amazon, which is one of the things they hoped people would do. It sat in a pile of junk for a year or so before I finally got rid of it.
Just as long as he declares it “an official act”. I think he just has to say that. It doesn’t have to be written down or anything. And it doesn’t matter if anybody actually hears him say it, as long as he does.
Kelly represents a swing state, so this is a move to improve their chances to win it.
I’m a Democrat and a Tesla owner. No way in Hell will I buy another Tesla as long as Musk is involved in any way with the company. It would actually take a significant overhaul of both the company and their cars to convince me to buy another one.
But what if it had been Trump himself who had been shot away, and only Trump’s ear fragment had been saved by security? Could Trump’s meat ear rim itself have been persuaded to run for the presidency?
You need to go watch the Woody Allen movie Sleeper. Only difference is that it involved the “leaders” nose instead of ear…
Including nutjobs like Hinkley who shot Reagan to try to impress Jodie Foster?
I would think that the heat signature of an actual engine in a metal tank would be significantly different than a random heat source in a rubber one. I doubt it would fool a drone operator etc. that’s encountered one or two real ones.
Do you not recall when Amazon lost their S3 service in us-east1-1 region back in 2017? That caused cascading failure across the Internet for a good part of the day…
What's the funniest/strangest thing you have seen out your office/apartment window?
This just popped into my head after a similar question came up with a coworker…
Back a few decades ago I worked in Kendall Square in Cambridge, MA. My office window looked out towards another building about 15 feet away, and for some reason our floors were about 8 feet higher than the other building. So we could look down into the offices across the way.
The person in the office I could see into had his desk set up so that his back was to the window and he faced his office door. This gave me and my coworkers a clear view of his computer screen over his shoulder. He played Microsoft solitaire constantly, except when somebody walked in. He would very quickly close it so he wouldn’t get caught.
My coworkers and I actually tried to figure out his phone number, but never did. We wanted to call him up and tell him he should have played the red 9 on the black 10…
