They probably won’t get rid of elections… they’ll just have sham elections like Russia has to give the impression of “legitimacy” but I guarantee they’ll be heavily rigged in their favor.

only $70 billion showing on the books so far

Are they not finished banning books yet? I’m sure that one’s on the list as well.

My guess is it’s similar to the electric motors they put in cars vs industrial motors… they can both put out X amount of power but the industrial ones (or in this case the laptop power) can do it continuously without overheating while the other can only output “up to” that power rating for a short time without burning up.

In this case though, the laptop power probably also outputs a higher voltage as well.

And seeing they’re stretched and deformed shows they get a lot of use.

He is the master debater.

Ya coffee doesn’t do anything for me, but I do like the taste. It’s mainly about just having something warm to drink, whether it’s coffee, tea or hot chocolate for me.

I go through phases… I’ll drink tons of coffee then end up not touching it for days or even weeks at a time. (Right now it’s been nearly a week.)

That’s weird, still works for me.

It’s still there, just further down the page.

Earlier we reported on the deaths of five health workers in an Israeli strike in Derdghaiya, southern Lebanon last night.

The government-run Lebanese Civil Defence emergency service says the five workers were waiting in a makeshift centre in a church hall in the southern town of Derdghaiya when it was hit by an Israeli air strike.

We’ve spoken to Father Maurice Khoury, head of the St George’sCatholic parish church there, who says those killed were “a model for humanity and chivalry. They sacrificed their lives for the wellbeing of others”.

Father Maurice adds that parishioners and villagers tell him there was no military presence on church grounds, and no gunmen in the vicinity. He says he doesn’t know how the health workers “would have a target on their backs?"

Father Maurice, who left the village on 22 September right before the Israeli escalation, says the health workers killed were looking after the 200-400 displaced people seeking shelter there.

“The church’s two halls were filled with IDPs [international displaced persons]. The Civil Defense used to come with food, water and aid. They were the only one supplying aid to the IDPs,” Father Maurice tells us.

He says one of those who was killed was “the pinnacle of generosity” while another “was a member of my parish. He was my right-hand man. He strived to provide a dignified life for his wife and three daughters. What wrong did they do?”

Israel says it only attacks military targets and the town was in an area which the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) had warned people to leave.

The BBC has approached the IDF for comment.

And I was just going to comment “What year is it??”

If the guys that made Internet Explorer also made bombs…

Yup sounds about right lol

I hope he’s right, but I’m not holding my breath until Putin is in the ground where he belongs.

My glasses. My flashlight. My coffee cup. Pretty much anything I’m holding when I’m doing multiple things. I’ll put something down somewhere to do something else and my brain simply will NOT record where I put it.

Nah, I just have a heart.

That’s likely possible. Either way, I can’t bear to turn the other way when little critters are starving out in the snow and need help. Now at least I know they’re all safe and happy, and not making more kittens under my neighbor’s porch.

I’ve always been a dog person too, but somehow I ended up with over 10 stray cats.

The only reason I can think of is that they are really good at suckering people in to do their bidding.

The door parked itself, I parked the rest of it.

I’ve owned a car like that. Drove that thing for years until the driver’s side door fell off and I parked it.

Wouldn’t your drinks be warmer if kept in there?
