Cloud data storage platform is a more accurate description. My project uses it to store tons of log data from our back end services. They have a query interface that our BI team uses to do long term trend analysis on the data. But we don’t store anything super sensitive there. No PII, no credit card data, nothing proprietary.
I think maybe they meant it the other way around? Tuner/enthusiast trims have been getting high markups for decades. It’s weird that the family cars are now getting the same markups.
And yet, he did continue to spout the same nonsense and nobody stopped him.
“We’ll see how we do,” Trump said as the jury began its deliberations. “It’s a very disgraceful situation.”
You are correct, but not for the reason you think.
Yup, the Taco Bell commercial jingle in the early 90s was based on their menu prices:
59, 79, 99
Everything (or just about everything) on the menu fit into those price ranges. Fast food was where you went to get something cheap and filling. Prices go up, I get that. But even back then, that was considered super cheap. Still, inflation isn’t the problem. The problem is that wages have not been keeping pace with inflation for decades.
Golden rice was developed as part of a non profit grant. Seed is distributed free of charge to farmers with an annual profit of $10k or less, and they are permitted to keep and replant seed as much as they want. Nutritionally it is identical to normal rice except it contains high levels of vitamin A for which large portions of the population in the Philippines (and many other countries) have a critical deficiency. Vitamin A deficiency has a major impact on childhood mortality rates.
The only criticism they have is that it’s a gmo crop and they don’t trust its safety, which is really just a PR issue because it has been thoroughly tested for human consumption. Your response is a perfect example of making the problem worse through your ignorance.
Cities’ populations have declined as they’ve seen birth rates decrease and residents leave over high cost of living.
I suspect the cost of living is a larger factor than decreasing birth rate. Raising kids in the city is becoming less and less affordable. While city schools are underpopulated, schools in the suburbs and rural areas are terribly overcrowded.
Is anyone surprised? When Cohen testified the other day everyone else was reporting how he had recordings of Trump acknowledging the payment was a bribe to kill the story. Fox News and other far right outlets were reporting that Cohen had made secret recordings of his conversations with Trump. They barely mentioned the content of those conversations.
You have got to be fucking kidding me. This shit stain actively planned to go shoot someone, said he could get away with it by claiming self defense, then went and did it. There was no evidence produced beyond his own claim that he was threatened, and several eyewitness accounts contradicted that claim. It was a slam dunk case of murder. Good people of Texas, I’m sorry, but your collective heads are up your collective asses if you think that pardoning this monster is serving justice.

Oh, I know all that. I still think “inconceivable” is the wrong choice of word. “Monstrous” is good. “Horrifying” works. Even “Heartbreaking”, though that’s maybe a little soft. Unfortunately, it’s all too conceivable.
“It is appalling that someone would show up to an emergency room and not receive care – this is inconceivable.”
You keep using that word… I do not think it means what you think it means. This was all predicted as potential outcomes from overturning Roe. It’s not even the first time, because this is what things were like before Roe. You know that quote? “Those who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it.” I used to think it was kind of cliché, but it seems to be more and more relevant all the time these days.
My son is about to turn 18 and is of much the same mind. We pushed him a bit to get his license but he rarely drives and has about zero interest in owning his own car. He just doesn’t have anywhere he needs/wants to go. I imagine it’s a little different for kids with more activities outside the home. Sports, clubs, jobs… He doesn’t have any of that going on at this point. I’m admittedly a little sad about that, but I can’t really force him to be interested.
It must vary from store to store. I’ve used self checkout at our store several times, and no human ever checks my card. I just scan it when I start checking out.
Same. The last time they took my photo was when I got a Costco Amex card in… I think 2005? They don’t even take Amex anymore, LOL.
Costco stores started adding self checkout lanes a few years ago, which means that they weren’t always checking the photo at checkout anymore.
Yup. We live in Washington, and our town has a QFC, a Fred Meyer, and a Safeway. If this deal goes through, Kroger will own all three. Not only will prices probably go up but they will likely shut down the Safeway (where we prefer to shop) because it is just across the street from Fred Meyer. We might end up doing our regular shopping at Grocery Outlet, which is the only other option in town.
The Nordic countries would like a word.
Ohio law requires people running for political office who have changed their name within the last five years to include their former names on candidacy petitions.
That’s not entirely unreasonable, but It seems like that’s the sort of thing they should make clear in the paperwork when you file a candidacy petition. “Have you legally changed your name in the last 5 years for any reason other than marriage?”
He was trying to show that he wasn’t afraid. Unfortunately, there was good reason to be afraid.
I’ll give him this much: Dude really knew how to dodge a shoe.
