Wealth management. If you don’t believe all the mossad stuff, Epstein made investments. Maybe he blackmailed people into not pulling out when he didn’t want them to. Or blackmailed/extorted them to invest or else kind of deal. He was a well connected society type in New York City. Not like upper crust but enough to be with rich people even though he wasn’t born into it the same way Trump or Ghislaine was.

I think I’ll look into the separate components of this. I’ve been trying to figure out which project management software I want to host for both my house and my business. I’m trying to keep track of time, expenses, deadlines etc for the business and similar but more schedule oriented stuff for the home. One portal would be cool but not necessary really. Only 5 users or so. I’ve never worked anywhere with “project management” so maybe I need something else. That’s the fun though. Trying stuff out!

Probably. Gigi is a French female name and diminutive for g names. They always use women’s names for lmde. Last one was Faye.

You get more than the inflation adjusted difference. You also get the time value of the money you would have spent for those services. So inflation plus like 5% or however you estimate your returns.

Don’t give up hope. “Life, uhh, finds a way.”

That’s brutal. This kind of adventurism will not help revolutionary aims in the long run.

I would prefer this with a web browser but maybe I can find a tui rss reader and browser to ssh into. I have an eink device the size of a phone and reading/browsing outside in direct sunlight is the best

I think it was a military action not a law enforcement action so jurisdiction is irrelevant in that sense. Just the world’s largest military killing random “terrorists” in international waters. Good practice for getting the terrorists at home next. People who cheer this need to understand that authoritarians always need an enemy and will invent that enemy out of the citizenry as needed.

Good write up. Spotify is the lsdt for me to replace

If he had diplomatic immunity, he didn’t claim it as far as I’ve seen. He was given a date for appearance before the judge so they could have held him until then with no problem. I agree they didn’t want to make an incident of it but it wouldn’t have involved the ICC.

He probably just had some ecstasy and that had a little cocaine in it. Also if they just did a Marquis test before sending it off both mdma and cocaine can show as the same color so they would just go with that until they get confirmation from the lab.

They have a rule against United States news here maybe they should make one against comments that derail the topic to be United States focused. Unless that would be too broad to be applied fairly? Always room for improvement though.

I think the charitable explanation is that the US exports so much pop culture and also several of the main social media companies are US based that US Americans see “their culture” constantly reflected back to them causing a reflexive assumption that is often wrong. The less charitable explanation would be willful, myopic ignorance I guess.

Houston is a big place. The vast majority of it is safe and some of it is pleasant.

I think impoverished would be the common thread in my experience

Yeah, they are still complaining about it over there.

Now we’ll pay special assessments to whatever major shipper gets our area when FedEx, UPS and DHL divide the country into noncompetitive exclusive territories.

I guess this is okay since they will be shutting down our postal service as soon as they sell off the parts the major logistics companies want.

Mostly the United States South but long stretches out west and up north too.

To be clear I’ve never seen anyone shoot a gun at a wedding (and I’ve been to some trashy weddings) I just meant celebratory gunfire in general
