Is there a reason they used an image of a phone with a screen smeared with what looks like rendered goose fat?

You’ve got a friend in Epstein
You’ve got a friend in Epstein
When the road looks rough ahead
Just fake his suicide in his nice prison bed
Just remember what your old pal said
Boy, you’ve got a friend in Epstein
Yeah, you’ve got a friend in Epstein

Trump has pardoned a bunch more turkeys recently than Biden ever did.

On the web UI they sneakily slide in the Gemini icon exactly where the settings icon is after about 2 seconds of loading the page which caught me out for the first account I was updating. Really annoying.

Microsoft announced a while back that the end of EWS is coming for exchange online which means M365 accounts. They will start blocking EWS requests from October next year and only support access via Graph API. I understand the Thunderbird team are also working on Graph API support.

“When we meet as a team, we discuss these paint points and others in detail, because we want developers to choose Windows.”

Putting aside the “paint points” vs pain points, unless there is some MS Paint aspect I have missed, what about the broader user base who are not developers and simply want a robust OS to run their games and applications without all the AI and telemetry “features”?

From the article

The “polarizing” president was in conversation with Fox News about the economy when he veered off track…

Dad reporter confirmed. He even snuck in an “off track” before talking about trains.

She did wear tight leather pants in an attempt to resemble a Chesterfield leather lounge.

Usually it is the defendant trying to get off during court proceedings.

Is that why it is called cross-dressing?

To be fair to the original poster this news article has been revised multiple times since original publication. When it was first posted the article contents very much matched the headline but subsequent changes were made that included things like the clarifications from the university.

RFK Jr will be very worried that his newly recruited team for the health and human services department had an accident whilst travelling to their new government offices.

I couldn’t also see the definition of “qualified” candidate in the article. Someone may have attended one of these fake recruitment processes but secured employment elsewhere in the same timeframe without any real financial penalty other than having their time wasted. Also just holding stock during that time does not mean an actual loss was realised by a shareholder. A bit of a mess for either type of candidate to work out compensation.

I presume the rationale is that when these claims became public the stock price was adversely impacted meaning public investors during that period lost money. Not all shareholders are wealthy people playing the dips and highs for maximum gains or have any connection to the bank itself. For example some everyday people may have had their modest retirement funds or life savings impacted as some of these investments commonly include bank stocks as they are seen as “safe” and are usually not direct investment decisions that these people make if part of a managed portfolio.

This is the risk that comes with holding stock directly or indirectly, but for some this not really a “benefit” but an attempt to get back their hard earned money that they tucked away and then lost through no fault of their own. Governments have historically bailed out banks when they are in trouble regardless if caused by the banks actions or not, so I see no reason why a bank should not have to cover people’s losses caused by their corrupt actions through a class action lawsuit.

“I’m McTrump’s. They got the Golden Arches, mine is the Golden Arch. They got the Big Mac, I got the Tiny Mushroom Mac.”

Looking at the Henley index, am I the only one that expected 12th to mean that there were only 11 other passports higher than the US. It is actually tied with Malaysia and has 36 other countries above it. In the Olympics if there were two athletes tied for gold then they both get first place and no second place is awarded, but the Henley list is grouping countries with the same scores but still giving out all sequential positions (first , second, third etc). Surely it can be argued that the US is actually 37th.

Edit : This shouldn’t bug me this much but this ranking is misleading. So if next year all the 4th place passports lose access to a place to then equal 5th place, the 5th place passports would be promoted and included with the previous years 4th place passports, and 6th place would change to 5th even though the 6th place passports have technically not changed position.

I hear he has already been made redundant and replaced with a cheaper outsourced contractor from Infosys.
