WTF-Beta

Thanks! One of the many problems was I didn't have the old phone to copy its data. Goggle wouldn't give me my own Gmail address because it already existed. This created a cascade effect where every site and app (including my carrier) wouldn't let me sign in because my new Gmail address wasn't their address on file and/or they sent codes to the old Gmail address and I can't access it. My new phone is still logged out of about half of the sites I visit. The would be (hopefully) engineer said it's "a very sensitive thing to change phones." It's not that sensitive. Wow.

That's even scarier than the people climbing the tower!!

At least Trump(CF) is truly elected. We had Liz Truss and Rich Sunak foisted on us

Well, seeing as searching phones is now a thing, maybe it's just safer all the way around to not carry a phone.

Just imagine the second term telling the first "hold my beer."

The leakers aren’t backing off. “I look forward to the prosecutions of those at the Pentagon who are leaking maliciously false information to NYT,” Musk wrote in his post. But Musk’s post is not having the chilling effect on leakers he’d intended, according to conversations with more than half a dozen government employees who had previously spoken to POLITICO. If anything, it might be the other way around. “We are public servants, not Elon’s servants,” said one Food and Drug Administration employee who, like all people interviewed for this story, was granted anonymity to speak candidly about internal dynamics. “The public deserves to know how dysfunctional, destructive, and deceptive all of this has been and continues to be.” “Leakers are patriots,” said one Agriculture Department employee. Helping the media report on problems or concerns inside agencies, the USDA employee added, is motivated by a desire for greater transparency — the same goal Musk has said undergirds his own work through DOGE. “If the Biden administration or Obama had acted like this, no one would have tolerated it,” the staffer said. “The Trump administration doesn’t get a pass.” https://www.politico.com/news/2025/03/21/musk-leakers-government-trump-doge-00243208 The GOP loves whistleblowers. Will be interesting to watch their reaction to these folks.

Leopards, faces, etc.

@Jodi that was great!

But they need to find a feather to figure it out for sure.

@ShiroKuro I was actually referring to the steep decline in the stock market as "The Trump Slump"....

Thanks. So he talked to ex-hostages and knows first hand what happened, what they suffered, and what one US citizen is still enduring.

In the end all we got was some rain. I understand that some areas got hit pretty hard.

In college, I worked for a sleep researcher. In addition to monitoring subjects at night, I also worked part-time doing transcriptions of people's dreams as recorded when they were awakened. It was a funny type of typing because I needed to incorporate grunts, coughs, and pauses. Long pauses became.......drawn out ellipses. I'd start with the normal 3 but then add another period for each 2 seconds of pause.

Yea, no kidding.
