^^^^ Yeah that was my opinion as a layperson too, it seems hard for me to believe any bridge would withstand that.

I can't speak from a civil engineer perspective but would love to hear more about it. I think the GOP see's mayor Pete as a serious threat down the road and act accordingly to besmirch him as much as possible.

reasons mayor pete should resign: 1) Built the Francis Scott Key bridge in the wrong place 2) Ran his fancy Sri Lankan cargo ship into his misplaced bridge

we can't have an election during this political season though

I don't think this is true, unfortunately.

The Sacklers put out Oxy under the advertised notion that it was not addictive. They got special FDA language that had never before been put on an opioid that their sales representatives then used as a piece of evidence to persuade doctors to prescribe the non-addictive opioids according to the FDA. Coincidentally, I'm sure, but the individual at the FDA that approved the language then went to work for Perdue shortly after. From my understanding of the events the marketing preceded the prescribing.

sorry, tangent - Doug Jones is the president we need.

daaaaaang usually you don't see them pull the pin on a grenade and throw it over their shoulders as they leave

Does the RNC govern though? Maybe indirectly but I've always figured it was political operation and thus should be separate from governing, kinda hatch act sorta

catching up on some of the clips of Lev Parnas yesterday...... he raised his right hand before he said that stuff. People saying the opposite haven't.

yep maga calls c-span on the independent line all the time and also say democrat party

I was being only somewhat facetious but that clip above is of their host begging some rich a-hole to donate to chump

LOL at FoxNews running a telethon for trump. Best get some tote bags printed up

Manafart rolling up on the scene again is also super sketchy

Detnews now saying she got arrested: https://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/politics/2024/03/18/pro-trump-lawyer-stefanie-lambert-arrested-on-bench-warrant-in-washington-dominion-voting-elections/73023957007/

Gotcha. I believe I heard or read that in this case, the judgement included that he couldn't get a bond from a New York entity as well.

Would it be illegal for him to accept money from a foreign entity to pay for this? I legit don't know With this caveat you have raised I kinda agree w/ Chas, I'm surprised there's no one out there that would take a $500m chance to leverage a potential future leader of the free world. In the grand scheme of nation states 500m seems like nothing

I think he knows that now any burnout with python and tensor flow can develop models way more power than he was doing

Kenny didn't cheat in that game though that stuff fell on his hand

Mr Pence, welcome to the resistance

LOL imagine being a strict constitutionalist and also citing Sir Matthew Hale in a SCOTFS decision and also believing judicial review exists in the constitution

I haven't been into the home recording studio stuff in a long long time, I was never that good at it. However, it has recently DAWn'd on me (great pun) that w/ how a lot of recording is done these days (recording super dry signal and applying effects later) that I can definitely at minimum record good dry signals for my bands record & send them to the producer. So I grabbed an Apollo interface and threw Reaper on a computer and made myself an electric guitar -specializing DAW. Right now using AmpitubeCS for my guitar sounds. Yesterday was the first day I was able to get it all connected and signal through, and even with my scant knowledge I was able to get pretty decent tones out of it, and it's fun!

The Boebert stuff is news to me but yeah he was pretty strong on the President Hunter Biden Impeachment. I feel like his change of heart was happening before that. Maybe it was still the President Hunter Biden Impeachment but he knew what was going on in the smoke filled back rooms before they took their "strategy" public.

Personally I'm looking forward to a decent long-form interview with Ken Buck where they discuss whatever has caused his change of heart over the last couple years. My favorite memory of him is when he thought he was being all cagey with Mueller in that hearing but basically walked Mueller into saying he had enough evidence to charge Slump had Slump not been president, and that he could charge him after his presidency.
