To make up for the Cats movie not having them?

Then you’ve got Bill Maher meeting him in person and then dick-riding him on his show talking about how sane, charming, self-deprecating, and how he has a sense of humor afterall, and listens to criticism calmly.

Then Maher gets offended when a guest says ‘the president played you’

I mean, jfc, Maher is in the entertainment industry how has he never met a charming backstabber before?

I just read that DOGE literally manhandled and dragged a career Social Security worker out of the offices because he wouldn’t let let put alive people on the dead people list to cut off their benefits.

Sane/Insane - the work they are doing is crazy, illegal, immoral, unethical - we need more Jasmine Crockett type people loudly calling this out.

We need people with her visibility and charisma out-shouting Margie with actual truths instead of made up bullshit.

At this point the truths are more wacky than the hacky shit being made up about space lasers and weather control.

because I’m sometimes too literal, you mean a surveillance bug, not an insect bug?

They are supposed to fit tight enough to not need pinning.

First image of the war between Canada and USA?

She should dump him and get an EU man

For the better citizenship opportunities…

Maybe become a writer?

I’m pretty sure all personal data leaks to me and my friends and family have nothing to do with personal EOL OS on personal PCs/laptops.

My Dad, ran Windows 7 (yes, 7) until he passed last year, almost 80. We had his credit locked down, we had antivirus running, we kept the browsers up to date, and he was very good about not clicking weird links or calling fake support numbers.

His biggest data breach (and ours too)? Was from myChart a couple years ago, he got a letter that his data was part of the big hack, yada yada yada free credit reporting - so sorry. If you don’t know, myChart is like The Main medical everything portal in the US at least for most doctors and hospital systems. So all your test results, making appointments, sending messages, requesting Rx refills, all through myChart’s website. The hospitals and doctors using MyChart can see pretty much everything in your myChart health record (some exceptions)

So using super secure OS on your personal computer means nothing when you are part of a hundreds of millions data dump from someone hacking into that. Not having an account just means you don’t have access to your own records, they are still part of the system.

But Yes, I was in the process of getting Dad an upgrade to a flavor of Linux that would be the closest to what he was used to. And the only reason was because browser support was coming to EOL for Windows 7. He really didn’t want to change or lose his solitaire games and he deserved a stress-free life to play his damn games like he wanted.

THAT SAID - if businesses are using EOL OS and getting hacked - they definitely need to do whatever they need to do and protect their customer data. But EOL OS for an average person checking email, making doctor’s appointments, checking headlines, and playing solitaire while streaming music certainly doesn’t call for a need to panic.

IF you are a power user doing sometimes sketch things (according to Apple/MS anyway) probably switch to Linux sooner than later.

We have computers running Linux, Windows 10 (one of which was on 8.1 until a year ago), and Windows 11 in our house. The one on 11 is being tested basically, and will probably be reinstalled with Linux. But we are trying to give it a shot.

What’s really to keep states with ports from just taking over Customs, especially with doge firing and closing federal agencies? If the states control their ports they control what gets tagged for tariffs, or am I wrong?

Wasn’t Jim Jones the koolaid test? The Branch Davidians went up in flames in Waco, TX after the Feds attempted to raid them.

Or did they both do it? It’s been a while since I read about David Koresh.

No shit, Kim K would be an improvement over 99% of the current pics.

No, cause then Mike Johnson. And he is definitely gonna rename it to Gulf of Gilead.

Does anyone know how long it takes asset seizures to be processed in the UK?

Very true on not being able to fat loss specific areas. Thanks for the article.

For me, upper body strength is probably my weakest area. So putting effort into building strength is a good thing regardless.

My dad was really strong (but not huge) and his arms always looked great, until all the cancer treatments and he lost muscle mass and fat. The loose skin stayed even though the muscle was gone on his upper arms (and gave him flaps) - and I wondered if he had recovered and been able to build back the lost muscle, would he loose the flaps. (I never said that to him, of course)

But it’s made me wonder if muscle building can minimize the effect, especially if my body fat is on the very high end of acceptable. (sometimes just over)

Plus I already know tricep area and belly are where I hold on to fat, even when “skinny” like I was in my 20s. So there’s only so much fat loss I can do before I’m just grumpy/hungry and still have a pooch.

I’m trying to stay strong and get stronger as insurance for when I can’t.

There’s at least 4 of us!

Did this improve after you recovered from covid?

I’ve been noticing on YouTube that the Diary of a CEO guy has been having a lot of menopause and women’s health doctors on over the past year.

Hope you are doing better! Did you ever get your hormones retested? The menopause subreddit says testing only tests for that day and our hormones fluctuate a lot so you’d need constant monitoring to really know.

My peri start has been insane, I was going 90+ days between, to now extremely unpredictable - sometimes short spans, sometimes heavy and bad cramps, to spotting that lasts two weeks with no cramps. then another 60 days free, then boom two almost back to back.

Also, I would like to add, I’m still working through the details, but I’m trying to stockpile (90 day Rx from doctor helps with this) so I always have at least a month in reserve in case of pharmacy problems. Not just HRT, but everything.

This goes for my husband as well… he’s on medications he absolutely needs to take every day. During 47’s first term, we actually ran into supply issues on a couple of his medications and the doctors and pharmacist were scrambling trying to find supply and alternatives.

My HRT journey only started a few months ago, so I’m still working out dosage and details.

My daughter-in-law is trans. We had a conversation not long ago about HRT availability. The fact is that those of us who choose the HRT path for our peri and post menopause will have a lot of the same fights for access if things continue as they are in the USA. We are definitely on the same team.
