How did they arrive at 14? Most stuff has some kind of round number like 5 or 10 or 15 or 20, or it's undefined and you just cram as many entries in as you need and keep writing on the back if you run out of room.
How'd they determine that 14 was the right number? I strongly suspect it is based on something real.

Joe Mannix brought up 401k matching and said the match guarantees no losses, as long as the loss is less than the match.
That doesn’t quite work percentage wise. Losing X% is more than making x%.
Say you contribute $1000. Employer matches 50%, or $500. You now have $1500. All it takes is a 34% drop to make your $1000 turn into less than $1000. A full 50% loss turns the $1500 into $750, ie a 25% loss on the initial $1000.

Quick search definition starts Titian coloured hair refers to a shade of red hair that is often described as brownish-orange in colour. The term originates from Titian, an Italian painter who frequently depicted women with red hair of this description.

And math still works the same.
$1000 contribution. $1000 match. $2000 total. Takes 50.1% to be in the red on the initial $1000 contribution.
Doesn’t matter what the match is, there’s no guaranteed return.

All because they are forced to make EVs due to the WEF policies enacted in every western nation's Deep State. In the USA, it's the EPA regulations and standards, put in place by the Obama Administration in 2009. Trump Administration put a stop to the ridiculous increase in those regulations, but they were put back on track by the Biden Administration after the stolen election.
Trump Administration America First policies also penalized companies for outsourcing and incentivized companies for adding jobs in the USA. That was also ended after the stolen election.
Of course, they are getting what they pay for with these "engineers". The majority of them are awful.

This is interesting framing by Bloomberg, and subtle.
It's true as such. More dollars are entering employees' pockets, but proportionally more production is not entering the economy.
But the framing is where it's interesting. "Sustained productivity slowdown could limit inflation progress" See what they did there? They transferred the burden.
The productivity drop is *because* of the inflation. People need more money but inflation is outpacing growth. It's corrosive. The productivity drop - units produced per dollar (or hour, depending on basis) - would not have happened if not for the inflation. It's a consequence, not a cause of the current inflation (as opposed to, for example, oversized wage gains due to a new union contract).
But Bloomberg just shifted the cause off of government and onto employees.

Possibles include DeSantis (no), Youngkin (yes), Rubio (hell no), Burgum (eh), Robert O’Brien (who?), JD Vance (yes), Kim Reynolds (Iowa Gov), and Sarah Huckabee Sanders (maybe). All save Noem have the advantage of not having shot puppies and then blabbing about it to the world.

The Right needs to wake up to the fact that using the "both siiiiiiides" argument with little evidence of wrongdoing on one side (and plenty on the other) is going to play right into the hands of genocidal maniacs.

I was a bit surprised not to see Stefanik on the list.

My bet is it's Stefanik.
When will the announcement get made, anyway? Two minutes before the start of the Convention?

Rupert Grint feels both weird and down to earth. He was never going to be much of an actor (though he does have a career, he was in M. Night's most recent film), but it seems like he does it because he has no other skills, happy to be a supporting player forever.
He also bought an ice cream truck at one point near the end of Harry Potter. He took it to the wrap party and served ice cream.

She went 0-2 on that when she then blamed conservatives for being upset about it. I remember either her or her staffer calling out "conservative cancel culture."
She's an idiot.

He's got Elijah Woods disease, tiny slight guy who made bank in a tentpole franchise who never really stretched beyond the franchise.
Once Tom Holland burns out of Spiderman/Marvel, he's going to be in the same boat.

Sen. Lindsey Graham said Wednesday that the FBI was in possession of his phone after he received a message from someone impersonating Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer. "I get a message, I think, from Schumer," Graham, R-S.C., said during a panel discussion about artificial intelligence regulations at The Hill and Valley Forum. "It ain't from Schumer."

I think Elijah Woods earned enough from LOTR that he really doesn't have to work any more, so he can just focus on indie projects that sound interesting to him.

The EPA regulations make it impossible for ICE vehicles to meet the standard targets for fuel economy and CO2 emissions. Thus, every automaker has eliminated gas vehicles from their future product line going forward. The ridiculous targets -- (which come with company-destroying fines and sales bans) -- start in 2025.
Knowing that, I bought a new gas vehicle last year. Will likely be the last I am allowed to buy going forward as new ones will no longer be available.

Radcliffe most likely made a whole lot more, so he's doing that too.
He's in plays all the time. He stuff like Swiss Army Man or Guns Akimbo.
He's also made a nice documentary about his stunt guy who got crippled while making Harry Potter 4.
He's just a nutter who thinks that saying men are men and women are women is an attack on trans people.

>>Elijah Woods has an advantage over Radcliff in that his parents protected him every step of his youth and, as such, he's not criminally insane.
The only thing he's done after LOTR that I've liked was Dirk Gentley's Holistic Detective Agency, other than that he seems to be mostly producing.

And the real cost of shitty engineering is shitty product quality and increased production costs which are easy to bury and blow off.
And the government actually makes less in taxes.

The Columbia Law Review admin board of student editors is now asking the law school to cancel exams and give students passing grades because they are “irrevocably shaken” and “unable to focus and highly emotional during this tumultuous time.”

Let's get their names and faces out there so no one makes the mistake of hiring an "irrevocably shaken" (not stirred), and thus defective, attorney.
