Tell them about Saint Nicholas too, so they have to replace all those Caucasian Santa Clauses with ones that have a browner middle eastern / Turkish complexion.

What do the bold and italic buttons do? Is it formatting in HTML or something else now? I've been mostly on Linux for years, using Windows only when I have to which is only for Windows-specific projects now, but Notepad was always a simple plain text editor back in those days.

It seems we're heading much faster towards a Kessler scenario than previously thought. This is where it low Earth orbit fills with so many satellites they start colliding, and the debris field creates a cascading runaway effect, rendering space pretty much inaccessible after that.

The discomforting thing for me about going after non traditionally approved spiritual practices is we give traditionally approved mainstream spiritual practices a green light. There's a lot of stuff in Christianity that seems more far fetched but never subjected to the same kind of criticism.

Are you already in Oregon now? In the western side or east of the Cascades? If you are in Western Oregon, you need to take a trip over the Cascades. ~3000 foot elevation in low lands but lots of higher areas, mostly rural, desert climate. There are lots of dark skies over there.

We're a nice state. I'm glad you are coming here. We also have some places with nice dark skies you would love to stargaze at if you're up for driving out to the eastern parts of the state. But even places not so far out like Central Oregon away from Bend are very clear crisp milky way views.

I bet ESA and other space agencies outside of the U.S. would love your PhD.

These are true, but this won't help. His followers won't believe any of it and think you're feeding them radical left wing propaganda. If you want to reach them, you need to come at it from their mindset.

You and others should warn that most of the provisions don't kick in until after the midterms or it'll backfire. Ppl will not see these things happening and think you're full of baloney, electing Rs. If somehow Ds win Congress and then they kick in, you'll be blamed.

When I was a kid / young adult, I lived off Coca Cola. Somewhere along the way --many years ago-- I switched to water and it was so incredibly refreshing. On rare occasions soda is the only thing to drink it tastes so weird now and like something my body was definitely not made to ingest.

A politico article today says the DOJ says there will be redactions of not only victim info, but "other personal identifying information" as well. I'm betting Clinton will be shown but trump redacted out. I'm betting he's counting on blasting Clinton and this "fake" claim to distract and cover.

One thing that became clear to me way back when we went to Iraq to avenge for 911 (and they didn't actually have anything to do with it), was that voters pay attention to and are easily steered by whet their TV sets tell them. They mostly don't think independently.

Don't these kick in after the midterms? If so you and other Ds need to be emphasizing this or I'm afraid it will backfire. People will see them not kicking in and they you're full of baloney and vote R. If Ds do win Congress in midterms, they'll be blamed when it kicks in.

The more we let go of these kinds of obligations and instead surround ourselves with those who nourish and support us, the better.

It's a perfect cat drawing. Art classes often teach you to strip the creativity and art out of art. For those complaining there's no tail, well it could be a tail-less cat or the tail is hidden behind it.

It looks like the problem you spotted on 2W-WT is also just under it in 4W-WT, but just more subtle.

There is an uncomfortable question for bondi et. al. Why is she in prison for sex trafficking if there was not sex trafficking? I think she has high risk of following Epstein's path before any possibility of her testifying.

My guess is they were trying to scrub trump and his friends off the list while leaving Clinton and their enemies, with plans to blast it out as soon as they got it done. But they finally concluded they could not do that and cleanly cover their tracks.

I did that a few months ago. After a few very sleepy days, I started to adjust and am not going back. Sorry to the 2 coffee shops 1.5 blocks down the street (on different sides of the same street corner) that I used to frequent every morning. :(

Does this only kick in after the midterms like many parts of that big ugly bill? If so you need to make that clear to people. If they aren't aware and don't see it happening sooner, they'll think you're full of baloney and vote Rs. If D's win in midterms and it kicks in, they'll get blamed.

That doesn't mean search engines cannot also use specific keywords with it. I tested with and without -AI and confirmed it works.

Looks like it works with duckduckgo also.

Don't these kick in after the midterms? If so, you need to emphasize that in messaging. If you don't, people will think you're full of baloney when they don't see them kicking in. This kind of messaging without pointing that out could backfire.
