Have you heard of "sexy indifference"? A relative of mine mentioned it. It kind of makes sense. If you don't seem desperate or greedy for a relationship, you'll be more fun to be around and won't care as much either, because you have your own thing going on.

The shots didn't get anywhere near him, he is not a victim. Maybe all of the R's can now go to golf clubs in solidarity with him. It would be way better than wearing a maxipad on their ears.

My bad, sorry about that. I picked up the wrong one. I fixed the link.

Apparently, she not only said it after the debate, but several more times afterwards. The numbers are spiking in registrations and their data says that 80% were shown to vote in the next election.

As detailed in the complaint, the defendants’ alleged scheme has three main components. First, an agreement to fix the price of peer review services at zero that includes an agreement to coerce scholars into providing their labor for nothing by expressly linking their unpaid labor with their ability to get their manuscripts published in the defendants’ preeminent journals.

Second, the publisher defendants agreed not to compete with each other for manuscripts by requiring scholars to submit their manuscripts to only one journal at a time, which substantially reduces competition by removing incentives to review manuscripts promptly and publish meritorious research quickly.

Third, the publisher defendants agreed to prohibit scholars from freely sharing the scientific advancements described in submitted manuscripts while those manuscripts are under peer review, a process that often takes over a year. As the complaint notes, “From the moment scholars submit manuscripts for publication, the Publisher Defendants behave as though the scientific advancements set forth in the manuscripts are their property, to be shared only if the Publisher Defendant grants permission. Moreover, when the Publisher

I found it really entertaining if you like someone skillfully tearing someone apart. She let herself and trump get comfortable and then she stabbed him over and over with her words. She said things we've all wanted to say while using a lot of his terms. This was a masterclass. She stumbled maybe 2x in front of a psychopath, I thought it was pretty good.

Trump mentioned Seattle as a shithole at this debate and another time. That's why I said it's Maga.

You can still watch it on CSPAN if you want to. I was glad I went back and watched its entirety because watching her skill at taking him down was something. The first 10 minutes are kind of scary, he seemed normal and accessible. Then she started her campaign.

You can always tell a Maga if they ask you how you live in Seattle because it's so "unsafe" lol.

They did ask, Trump talked over the mods. I can't find a clip of the entire exchange, but the mod asked later as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5qoaj3YndQ

I think that's an honest mistake. She was awarded the Women's Grandmaster title and the International Master which is confusing unless you look at the standards. It's arguably a world title holder? Maybe? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorsa_Derakhshani

 

I had saved this site a couple of years ago. This doesn't seem correct unless pink means fighting. I know Ukraine has captured some areas and it doesn't seem to show. Any thoughts if I should ditch this as a source?

 

The San Francisco Chronicle reports that police in Oakland, California, and other places, have been obtaining warrants that allow them to tow Teslas that may have been parked within close proximity to local crimes. In many cases, police will get the driver’s permission before they access the data inside the vehicles. However, on rare occasions, when police feel the information needs to be gotten quickly, they will simply use a court-ordered warrant to tow the vehicle and empty it of its necessary evidence.

The Chronicle reports that the warrant-and-tow method has been used by Oakland police in at least three instances over the past two months. The cars’ external cameras, paired with its sophisticated network of sensors, can prove particularly helpful in solving cases. In one recent case in the city, a woman was shot and killed after a group of men pulled guns on one another and began shooting. Police took advantage of video recorded by a nearby Tesla to aid their investigation. Ultimately, two men were arrested several weeks later and charged with murder, the newspaper reports.

 

The survey looked at two data sets, one with lesions and one without. They could reproduce the same patterns in both sets, making them believe the results were "real."

He went on to say that the researchers had "cross-validation" in that they could see one dataset predicted fundamentalism scores for another.

"Lastly, we explored whether our religious fundamentalism brain network resembled the neuroanatomy associated with various neurobehavioral conditions," he continued.

"The strongest similarities to the neuroanatomy linked with confabulation and criminal behavior," he said.

 

Some of the drones were shot down over the city of Podolsk, Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said. The city in the Moscow region is some 38 km (24 miles) south of the Kremlin.

"This is one of the largest attempts to attack Moscow using drones ever," Sobyanin said on the Telegram messaging app in the early hours of Wednesday. "The layered defence of Moscow that was created made it possible to successfully repel all the attacks from the enemy UAVs."

 

LA police opened an investigation in May to determine why Perry, 54, had so much of the drug in his system when he died.

On Thursday, two law enforcement sources told the BBC's US partner CBS that arrests had been made in the investigation. The news was first reported by TMZ.

Police and law enforcement officials have not publicly confirmed the reports.

 

Ford and Mazda on Tuesday issued "do not drive" warnings to owners of more than 457,000 older vehicles across the United States due to a severe safety threat posed by defective Takata air bag inflators.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), which announced the car manufacturers warning, the warning affects all unrepaired, recalled Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles, as well as all Mazda vehicles that are equipped with unrepaired Takata air bags. The advisories cover more than 374,000 vehicles from Ford spanning model years from 2004 through 2014 and nearly 83,000 Mazda vehicles from 2003 through 2015 model years.

Consumers are urged to not drive the vehicles until repairs are made on the air bags.

Note: I haven't used any of these, I can't speak for them. I do think it's cool for the environment and people on a budget though.

 

The trust document sets out what will happen to ownership of the media assets upon Murdoch’s death: His voting share will be transferred to the four oldest children. That could lead to a scenario in which the children are fighting over the future of the media assets. Fear of that outcome seems to have motivated Rupert Murdoch to seek this change to the trust.

Although Lachlan is now the chair of News Corp. and executive chair and CEO of Fox Corporation, the children have already aired some of their disagreements over the political direction of the media companies. For example, James and his wife have criticized Fox’s move to the right. Murdoch may well see this as a threat to the company’s business model, which caters to a conservative audience.

 

Boeing named a longtime aerospace industry veteran Wednesday as its next chief executive, who will take over a company rocked by legal, regulatory and production problems and mounting financial repercussions.

Robert “Kelly” Ortberg, a former CEO at Boeing supplier Rockwell Collins, will succeed David Calhoun as CEO and president effective Aug. 8, the company said. Calhoun said in March that he would retire at the end of the year, and analysts generally praised the quicker transition.

Boeing announced its new CEO as it reported a loss of more than $1.4 billion on falling revenue during the second quarter. The loss was wider and the company's revenue lower than Wall Street's dismal expectations, as both Boeing's commercial-airplanes business and defense unit lost money.

 

A geyser in Yellowstone's Biscuit Basin suddenly and violently exploded at about 10 a.m. local time on Tuesday because of a hydrothermal explosion underground, sending debris and boiling water and steam showering down on the area.

Some of these pieces of rock were up to 3 feet in diameter and weighed more than a person, according to an update from Yellowstone National Park and the United States Geological Survey.
