:06 and :29 seconds into this Trump ad

text on the newspaper graphics:

"Unified Reich"

Almost half of American voters and "conscientious objectors": this is fine.

Trump ad literally spelling out the reich part

@flexghost

Yeah, I get it. It does look like he posted it but, the campaign is blaming a "staffer":

"“This was not a campaign video, it was created by a random account online and reposted by a staffer who clearly did not see the word, while the President was in court,” Karoline Leavitt, the campaign press secretary, said in a statement."

I agree. My concern was this may have been created by someone trying to smear him (like he needs help with that) then it comes out it wasn't him at all.

That's pretty impressive actually. It identified the Stop sign as a temporary one like one held by a construction worker.

Scammers from are fleecing Trump supporters of millions of dollars with fake debit cards. Victims spend thousands of dollars to get the cards, which supposedly have a huge lifeline of millions of dollars. Then, they spend even more trying to get them to work. https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2024/3/2/2226897/-MAGA-faithful-lose-millions-to-fake-Trump-debit-cards-from-North-Macedonia?pm_campaign=trending&pm_source=sidebar&pm_medium=web

I find it difficult to feel sorry for anyone that thinks they can spend $6,000 to get a card that allows them to withdrawal $5,000 per day forever. This level of stupidity deserves no compassion.

Can anyone explain the business justification for this obscene global push to RTO? Remote employees are proven to be more productive, less expensive, and happier in their jobs when remote. It can not just be that execs want company in the office, or some weird thing about real estate value. It might be a way to get rid of too many employees after over-hiring during the pandemic but even that seems like a stretch. I just don't understand the strong push to RTO from all industries/locations.

@spacerog

I read an article a few years back that posited everything in western society comes down to land.

Land without "improvements" has no value. If you put a building on it, it becomes valuable. If people or things are in the building it is now adding value.

I don't know where I read it and I have been looking for the article awhile now. At the time it made a lot of sense and this was before the remote-work push from Covid.

Well, that seals it for me. Thanks, , for being open and transparent about how you make extra money with Prime ;)

€89,90 total costs (not including the new "no ad" price hike)
€49,10 savings

So €40,80 extra revenue for Amazon. Not anymore. Bye, !

(If you want to check your "savings": Amazon website -> Account & Lists -> Your Prime Membership)

@jwildeboer @publictorsten

This must a European-only thing. On the US site it does not list any savings. Also, under "Your Account" it just lists "Prime Membership" - not "Your Prime Membership".

The sad state of my quest for a Usenet NNTP GUI client for Linux.

Pan is awesome but the binaries of my Debian Bullseye based distro, Crostini, are ancient and buggy. The Pan project distributes no .deb or other packages. Building from source requires recent versions of tools not in Bullseye.

Very few other GUI options available. Even fewer with .deb or other binaries.

Wow. Time flies. 1996 was 27 years ago.

In 1996 the equivalent display would be showing objects from 1969.

Small rolling racks can be made into bookshelves and make it easier to change up the room.

MASS MURDER AVERTED

“Extremely lucky”: Disaster averted at Glenwood Caverns after body, guns and bombs discovered

"...Glenwood Caverns is only accessible to the public by gondola."

Which means there would no avenues of escape if you were being fired upon.

Never thought I would have to take things like this into account when I grew up.
