7·10 days agoNPR says it will go into effect in six months.

Somewhere in West Texas, a non-profit company with a staff you can count on one hand is born to sue the FTC for damages claiming their finger muscles were atrophied by the lack of clicking or some other nonsense that will climb to a 6-3 vote.
Spoiler, Walters is 100% buying the Trump Bibles anyway. All this does is open the bidding a tiny bit more. Sure, someone can do a FOIA request and ask to see the bids, but they’ll ignore it. The Oklahoma State AG is currently sueing the Oklahoma State Department of Education for ignoring the AG’s own information requests. It’s just $5-6 million for Trump out of OK schools. But hey, it’s one of the best school systems if you flip the list up side down.
This is one nice thing about a former president running again, we can see what kind of president they will be and…yea, he’d do that, because he kind of already did that, several times.
That’s not fair! The longest shutdown in US history was under Trump when GOP had full control of the government. They’ll happily obstruct themselves too.

In 2024, the DOJ has collected over a billion dollars in plea agreements across 3 of the 6 cases brought. The other 3 appear to be unsettled.

InB4 “WhY DiDn’t hE Do iT WhEn hE HaD ThE MaJoRiTy?” Because he’s calling for constitutional amendments that require a 2/3rds support in Congress and the SCOTUS may finally be disliked enough to get some GOP members to support reform, especially if it comes with limiting Biden’s own immunity.
He retired a couple years ago and was replaced by Mark-wayne “I don’t want reality” Mullin.
Cabinet and federal appointments are the big thing. That’s why I’ll take Biden over Trump. I’m not just voting for him, I’m voting for the 4000 jobs in energy, health, labor, transportation, etc. to be run by Democrats, liberals, and qualified people.
Trump, and project 2025 plan to fill all those roles with right wing nutjobs who will do anything to please the right. On top of those 4000, they’d expand the presidential appointment power to fire up to 45% of the federal workforce. Meteorologist who said the hurricane won’t hit Alabama? GONE! Doctor who said injecting bleach was a bad idea? FIRED!
I’ll take anyone who won’t put Project 2025 in motion.
Freeze your credit on all three bureaus. IIRC it is free for all of them, just don’t get tricked into enrolling in their credit monitoring service. You’re there to freeze and unfreeze your credit, nothing more. From then on, any time you apply for something that requires a credit check, you need to go thaw each credit bureau temporarily. They all let you schedule thaws, so just open it for a day, apply. And close it back up. Or however long your credit check takes.
The premium service offered by these data breaches is pretty terrible. In some cases, they’ll have a clause that says if you accept, you can’t sue or be part of a class action suit. If you have a credit card with monitoring included, they will notify you way faster if your credit is run. My credit card companies email me within minutes of an application being submitted. The paid service I got from a breach years ago doesn’t let me know till about a week later.
Facebook would be worth what disguy_ovahea says below, I’m bad at math
It looks like slab on grade construction, there’s no moving those. The houses that can be moved are up on posts or over a basement.

Be careful not to give them too much sin. After 3-4 they turn against you and are lost forever.
20·9 months agoHang around for a while and one of your followers will bring you quests to do that unlock the new stuff. They first came up to me right after I loaded in, so you may need to reload your save.
2·11 months agoThe article, and their sources for cost analysis, don’t appear to say, but how long is the lifespan of the production infrastructure? This detail is often left off these kinds of graphics and I have found that many articles pick 20 years as the lifespan, since that is the typical lifespan of common solar panels (not saying that can’t last longer, but 20 years is a nice easy number). This becomes problematic when leveling cost against nuclear, where the plants a built to run 50 years and often run longer. Fossil fuels to a similar extent with many running long past 50 years. Nuclear takes a long time to become profitable, around 15 years typically. Not a problem in a 50-65 year cost analysis, but certainly a problem in a 20 year scenario. Unfortunately, 20 year cost analysis are common and if the article doesn’t say what their timeline is, that is usually the case.

3·1 year agoHow weird, I’ve never seen that configuration. Today I learned. I just wanted to add that in case anyone read that and thought their living space was unsafe with a combination detector. The EPA says, if they are CO specific, to put them about eye level from the floor, or on the ceiling.
If you’re referring to Carbon Monoxide detectors [I recognize the OP made an error calling them CO2] commonly referred to as “smoke/CO”, then, in the US at least, smoke and Carbon Monoxide detectors are usually combined units. I’ve never found one to be separated like that. A common example is below. Carbon Monoxide is similar, if not lighter than common air density, so putting one on the floor wouldn’t make any real difference.
