In a frantic last-minute attempt to derail a trial that threatens to destroy Donald Trump’s corporate empire, the former president’s lawyers have turned the heat on the judge overseeing this case—by suing him directly....
Violence is beyond Afghanistan levels. I just came from there. The country is declining rapidly. Truckers are robbed and killed in main highways every day in broad daylight. Hours upon hours of waiting in traffic because cartel blockades or protests against them, with little show of the National Guard. Pollution is horrendous. Small towns seemed abandoned.
Nah.
I hope the US is willing to protect its investments there.
I spent a lot of time at Templo Mayor, and I always wondered how things would have looked like. This is how getting in a Time Machine and traveling to the past must feel like.
Every time I traveled to Mexico City from Veracruz, I wondered how it must have been for the first Spaniards to encounter such a city for the first time. Now I know.
Absolutely mesmerizing. And the overlays with the city finally helped me understand how the city could have grown on top of the lake.

These two are awesome, and they were a big part of why I enjoyed watching the Pens. Their broadcast was always fair, and you always learned something out of the game from them.
Last year they were getting Colby more time on the air, which was odd, but now I can see why. I thought they were preparing for maybe Errey’s departure. I wasn’t expecting Mearsey.
I don’t think people buy happy meals for the toys. You know what you’re getting to eat, which is the purpose of the chain. It is a food service company, not a toy manufacturing company and the toys are only tokens of appreciation for the customer.
EA is a video game company and your experience and ability to play the game basically depends on these loot boxes. In fact, you play or pay to increase the chances to get a good deck, but nothing is guaranteed. It is random or perhaps even more perverse, it is programmed to deny or condition good players on your decks to keep you playing for the next loot box.
The only way this is not gambling, is that you don’t win money at the end of the day. Just satisfaction.
When films are adapted from books, more often than not, I tend to find the books a lot more enjoyable. So I have skipped watching a lot of films in the hope of reading the books later....
The disapproval of Elon Musk is the top reason Tesla Model 3 owners are selling their electric vehicles and going for another brand, according to a new survey of 5,000 Model 3 owners.
Agree. They have the best batteries and were ground breaking on the things they provided…but darn, those cars are louder inside than my Toyota Camry.
And yes, to an extent we haven’t invested in a Tesla because of Musk. My wife can’t stand him. We’ve postponed buying an electric and we’re looking to see how PoleStar develops. At least for our entry point.
A lower Inflation rate doesn’t equate to lower prices. It equates with those prices not rising as much and as fast…but as long as the rate is positive, those prices are still going up.
Until the conflict in Ukraine is resolved, I’d expect those prices to still be up. Wheat and oil being impacted in that conflict have major repercussions across the supply chain across the world.

Wow. I had no idea. I’ve got the NSFW filter and don’t see anything like that. I turned it off for a sec and sorted by new, and there’s a lot of potentially dangerous stuff. I hadn’t seen that before at that level. I hope they take action on that.
I don’t think just blocking Random is safe overall if those kind of filthy things are hitting the Kbik.Social server.
Republican presidential candidate and North Dakota Gov Doug Burgum is offering $20 gift cards to donors who give $1 to his campaign — but some supporters of Joe Biden say they have been funneling the gift card money to the president’s re-election campaign.
Zhou was a clutch thing that was probably human error. Released too quickly, anti-stall kicked in, had to engage again, and everyone passed him. He the. Clipped Ricciardo, destroyed Gasly’s car and Ocon’s spine.
