  • What do you think of this condominium?

    I'm wading through the FL statutes governing condos incl laws that went into effect in January concerning condos with more than 2 floors or more than x units. Slow going. There are a few in my area I like a lot. I've been given the go ahead to buy one if that's what I decide. I just have to do a lot more research. It's really tempting because these places I like are beautiful and mobile home living wouldn't compare. I'll have to stay where I am for an extra month or two after my finances are settled. The logistics will take time. Today's adventure was having the cracked casement window blow apart in the wind leaving glass and shards outside and inside and holes in places where there used to be glass. I cut cardboard panels and used duct tape to cover the window and tape up the outside. Wow. I'm glad that happened. Now it's over and done. It's one less thing to need to do in the future.

    Federal prosecutors in Minneapolis this week questioned the U.S. attorney over the lack of any civil rights investigations into two fatal shootings by immigration agents, and warned that more people could resign in protest if things don't change, multiple sources told CBS News. In a somber meeting on Monday between Minnesota U.S. Attorney Dan Rosen and assistant U.S. attorneys in the criminal division, prosecutors expressed concern that they were not allowed to investigate the federal officers who shot and killed Renee Good or Alex Pretti, sources familiar with the meeting said. They also told Rosen they are worried about how President Trump's immigration enforcement surge in Minnesota is being handled by the office, warning that they are facing pressure to rush to file criminal charges against people accused of assaulting federal officers without conducting a formal investigation, and that the intense focus on such cases is interfering with their ability to complete other important work. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/prosecutors-minneapolis-warn-more-could-resign-renee-good-alex-pretti/

    @bernard Link to video I don't know what to make of it. They are politicians. And neither has a good track record. We'll see.

    Who knows, maybe Ohio will kick out some of the MAGA assholes that currently proliferate there.

    I pointed out in a separate thread the one big beautiful bill gave practically unlimited funding. They already have massive funding. So what's to keep them from using it? I don't see an "after..." The Democrats have failed. That's what they do best.

    It's a new bunker, command center, and data center. The ballroom is a ruse. But, yeah, I'll read about the legal drama. I enjoy that kind of stuff. He ignored the laws he was supposed to follow. All he did was demolish a large and historic part of the White House. I don't know why doing that would end up in the courts./ s
  • Aldi vs Lidl

    Aldi won the cheapest UK supermarket award and the big four use their prices to match. Yet of the two I prefer Lidl, and not because of the app and points that generate prizes like a free croissant; though I use ASDA most, going early and raiding the 40-70% reduction areas and freezing as necessary.
