On the other hand, when you start from Texline (which I suppose is the starting point of that 13 hour journey) in the northeast of the state, you could easily escape Texas within minutes.
On the other hand, in Europe you can get through a number of countries in thirteen hours just because we have a working road system.
"If you disrupt the proceedings we can proceed with the trial in your absence. … Do you understand?" the judge asked. "I do," Trump replied.
That might be a problem. If the judge kicks him out, is he free to go campaigning, or does he have to be in reach, e.g. a room in the court house?
I think it would be better to have him present all the time, so a) he cannot go campaigning and b) he will irritate and annoy everyone in court when he is present as he does not understand when to shup up, and pissing off the jury would be a good thing here.
As a lay person, I agree. If "publishing in the media" is indeed "communicating" (which I see as such), then this guy does at least attempt to tamper jurors.
GAZA – A man in the Gaza Strip is using solar panels to clean water for his neighbors – a seemingly small gesture that has large consequences at a time when the region is in the midst of a humanitarian crisis....
So, basically, he had one accident per year. And he is not smart enough to understand that the universe is trying to tell him "Don't drive a car, then!"
Aaaand World Central Kitchen leaves Gaza. For Isreals' plans to kill off the Palestinians this is a big win. Any person starving will not be listed as a civil victim of war.
Are people still in denial on the overall target of this wargenocide?
Now I'd like to know how a saw blade could actually run away like that?
I can imagine a lose saw blade rolling down a hill, but it probably won't gain that much speed. And within a saw, it is mounted on an axis and surrounded by a lot of other stuff, so even if the nut comes lose on the axis, it won't be going anywhere much, at least not while taking that much rotational energy.

While the loss of life is tragic, what the heck drove a kid in a war zone to ignite fireworks? If foreign troops are in your country who are not even look for excuses to shoot people, one keeps the head (and the rest of the body) out of sight. Playing with explosives in the open is probably the dumbest move I've ever heard of in such a situation.
I bought and installed gallery rails in the living room. We wanted to completely re-arrange alle the framed stuff there, and I didn't want to turn the wall into swiss cheese. The hooks I've bought have been a bit beefy for some things I needed to hang, so I had to put a few of them to the grinder, but all in all this made the walls very neat, and easily to rearrange later.
