I mean, Sniper #2 supported Trump in his first run, and just got ticked off about Trump not saying that he’d support Ukraine adequately. I don’t think that that’s something that one can really attach to Biden and Harris.

I’d guess at least some chance of drugs being involved.
I was just in a restaurant where some presumably meth head got a sandwich. Kept talking to the air, doing circuits around the place, couldn’t sit still for a minute, was getting himself agitated talking to the air.
I remember watching Donut Operator – an ex-cop who used to be on a SWAT team and who does commentary on a bunch of YouTube videos. He’s said a number of times that the people that he least liked having to deal with when working as an officer were the meth addicts. Really unpredictable, could wind up becoming violent after acting normal a moment earlier.
I don’t think that that’s grifting.
Like, there’s no fraud or misleading material here. Trump’s campaign is (presumably) providing exactly what one would expect for the donation: trying to improve Trump’s chances at the White House. They’re maybe taking every chance to push for money, but constantly trying to sell stuff alone isn’t grifting.
If it were trying to get people to invest in Trump Media & Technology Group or something, where I think that a lot of small investors have a rather-confused take on the company’s prospects, then I’d be more-inclined to agree.
I would, at this juncture, point out the slightly surreal fact that it is 2024 and:
The primary American strategic bomber is the B-52. The basic aircraft first flew in 1952.
The primary Chinese strategic bomber is the H-6. While the H-6 itself is newer, this is the Chinese version of the Soviet Tu-16, which started being manufactured in 1952.
The primary Russian strategic bomber, two of which were flying along with this H-6, is the Tu-95, which started being manufactured in 1952.

Only eight weeks since the last sniper tried taking Trump’s head off.
For me, it’s corn on the cob.
Man, I dunno if I really want to explore this rabbit hole, but I’m sure that there’s much-less-tolerable stuff out there. Say, live mice or something.
For whoever downvoted this, if it’s out of concern about our resident airborne cephalopod engaging in antisemitism, I believe that he’s poking fun at Marjorie Taylor Greene.
Back in 2018, before Marjorie Taylor Greene was a household name and a member of Congress, she took to Facebook to share a convoluted conspiracy theory. She suggested that a solar energy laser generator was being used by Pacific Gas and Electric, in collaboration with figures like Jerry Brown and Dianne Feinstein’s husband, to clear land in rural California for a $77 billion high-speed railway. She highlighted a connection between a board member of PG&E and Rothschild, Inc. The insinuation was clear to many: The Rothschilds, a historically wealthy Jewish family, were behind this nefarious plot.
Fair enough.
Hmm.
I think that this isn’t actually of massive significance, looking at this summary:
https://d3i6fh83elv35t.cloudfront.net/static/2024/06/scotus_6-14.pdf
That is, it sounds like the argument was over whether the ATF was granted authority by Congress under the GCA to issue such a ban, rather than whether the GCA passed constitutional muster.
I mean, okay, it has an impact, but it isn’t really on par with cases evaluating whether law is in conformance with the First Amendment.
If you’re trying to compare cost of living in different areas in the US, there are a number of online websites that will do that.
Here’s one:

EDIT: That doesn’t answer your question fully, obviously, but it’s probably one piece that you want if you’re trying to find some rural place to move to.
If you want to get deals for the grocery store you need their app
That’s because they want to get their app on your phone so that they can perform data-mining using the data that the app can get from the phone environment.
I mean, I don’t think that it’s worth bothering with trying to game the system. I’m not going to give them my data, and I don’t really care about the discount that they’re offering for it. But if you want to do so, you can probably run an Android environment on a server and use the equivalent of RDP or VNC or something to reach it remotely.
grabs a random example
A container-based approach to boot a full Android system on regular GNU/Linux systems running Wayland based desktop environments.
Need to connect that up to VNC or RDP somehow if it doesn’t have native support.
EDIT: I think that I’d take a hard look at how much it’s likely to save you relative to how much time and effort you’re going to spend on setting up and maintaining this, though.
For me, video is rarely the form that I want to consume any content in. It’s also very obnoxious if I’m on a slow data link (e.g. on a slower or saturated cell phone link).
However, sometimes it’s the only form that something is available in. For major news items, you can usually get a text-form article, but that isn’t all content. I submitted a link to a YouTube video of a Michael Kofman interview the other day talking about military aid to a Ukraine community. I also typed up a transcript, but it was something like an hour and a half, and I don’t know if that’s a reasonable bar to expect people to meet.
I think that some of this isn’t that people actually want video, but that YouTube has an easy way to monetize video for content creators. I don’t think that there’s actually a good equivalent for independent creators of text, sadly-enough.
And there are a few times that I do want video.
And there may be some other people that prefer video.
Video doesn’t actually hurt me much at this point, but it would kind of be nice to have a way to filter it out for people who don’t want it. Moving all video to another community seems like overkill, though. Think it might be better to have some mechanism added to Threadiverse clients to permit content filtering rules; I think that probably a better way to meet everyone’s wants. It’d also be nice if there were some way to clearly indicate that a link is video content, so that I can tell prior to clicking on it.
One thing that I found out was that as “most-Minecraft-like” games for Minetest, there’s apparently Voxelibre (renamed Mine Clone 2) and Mineclonia (fork of Mine Clone 2). Just out of curiosity, if you looked at both, what made Voxelibre particularly appealing relative to Mineclonia?
I’ve played Minetest, even contributed some code IIRC, but that was some time back, haven’t ever played the derived games. Kind of thinking about maybe giving it a go now that there’s apparently more there.
I’m not the person you were talking to, but I agree that I don’t think that they have trouble distinguishing between nuclear and non-nuclear waste.

You can still get a few phones with built-in headphones jacks. They tend to be lower-end and small.
I was just looking at phones with very long battery life yesterday, and I noticed that the phone currently at the top of the list I was looking at, a high-end, large, gaming phone, also had a headphones jack. The article also commented on how unusual that was.
Think it was an Asus ROG something-or-other.

An Asus ROG Phone 8 Pro.
That’s new and current. Midrange-and-up phones with audio jacks aren’t common, but they are out there.
Honestly, I’d just get a USB C audio interface with pass-through PD so that you can still charge with it plugged in and just leave that plugged into your headphones if you want to use 1/8th inch headphones. It’s slightly more to carry around, but not that much more.
Plus, the last smartphone I had with a built-in audio DAC would spill noise into the headphones output when charging. Very annoying. Needed better power circuitry. I don’t know if any given USB C audio interface avoids the issue, but if it’s built into the phone, there’s a limited amount you can do about it. If it’s external, you can swap it, and there’s the hope that their less-limited space constraints meant that they put in better power supply circuitry.
Babies do start to pick up on faces early on – we’ve got some hardwired stuff there – and on the mobiles there, the faces are away from the baby.
https://www.whattoexpect.com/toddler/self-recognition/
At birth: Even though your baby doesn’t recognize you, she certainly likes the look of you. Studies have shown that even newborns, with their eyesight limited to about 12 inches, prefer to look at familiar faces — especially yours.
Months 2 to 4: Your baby will start to recognize her primary caregivers’ faces, and by the 4-month mark, she’ll recognize familiar faces and objects from a distance.
Most of the complex details and shapes are facing away. Oddly, of the mobiles I see there, the few designs aimed at the baby are mostly black-and-white, not colorful, while I’d have also thought that color would be preferable.
I won’t bother to make it myself, but my mother used to make a very light coffee cake on weekends that I really liked when it was very fresh and hot. Probably have the recipe somewhere. Called “cocoa ripple”. Think I’ve seen it elsewhere.

This looks kinda similar. I’d leave out the chocolate chips, though.
https://mindeescookingobsession.com/chocolate-chip-ripple-coffee-cake/
For something that I’d actually be willing to make and like, large portions of scrambled eggs. Throw in some random spices from the spice cupboard and a little olive oil.
They’re gonna wind up with multiple assassins running into each other on the rooftops around Trump at this rate.
