Ultimately 30% is more like it.

No other person wears that and doesn't have the coat overwhelm their presence. Looking forward to seeing her first lady fashion choices again.

"Of course you can honey, of course you can." I replied

That's how it's done. You don't have to fire them, just let 'em know it's time to leave. Just like with immigration.
I read a pretty decent plan: If you're illegal and you leave by Jan. 20th, you can apply to come back at a later date all legal like but you don't get to jump to the front of the line. If we have to find and catch you, you're deported as persona non grata with no citizenship for you ever in the future.

No, they want to keep that title in reserve, to get the idiot vote in 2028. "Vote for This Empty Pantsuit to be the First Woman President!"
They'll want another white woman, like Hillary, though. To save "First Black Woman President" or "First Latina President" for another election.
Like how Bill was the "first black president" because he was kind of cool and played the saxophone. Then Obama could be the "first black president" who was part black. They've still got the "first 100% black president" chip to play some year, too, after Obama is out of the picture.

Fifth element had an interesting take on basically 3D printing humans, and Westworld had one for 3D printing robots. The real stuff isn't quite there, but is quite impressive tech!
I may have bought the Sanderson RPG Crowdfunding thing as a combined bday/xmas gift for the hubby. Bought him a 3D printer last year so I didn't pay extra for the figures. Just bought the much cheaper add-on for the actual 3D files, and he can print them however he wants.

Trump as well as his Senior Advisor Jared Kushner, at his Mar-a-Lago Home in Florida. During his meeting on Sunday, as well as his meeting on Monday with Senior Biden Officials, Dermer is said to have discussed the ongoing War in both Gaza and Lebanon as well as the possibility of a Ceasefire on both Fronts.

Interesting story there. de Forest invented the triode vacuum tube, which he called the "audion", and proved that it could amplify signals. Thomas Edison had previously invented, and patented the diode vacuum tube, but considered it a curiosity, and never realized its potential usefulness. But when de Forest tried to patent the audion, Edison sued him for infringement, IIRC. Edison really didn't understand the physics of what he had invented. He was trying to find a means of preventing light bulbs from going black when metal sputtered of the filament condensed on the inside of the bulb. Adding a charge plate didn't help that.

Grew up in Las Vegas in the 60's and 70's -- and have friends who worked out at the Nevada Test Site (which I visited in the 80's a couple of times working for Ford Aerospace).
Will never forget a magazine cover -- I think it was TIME -- with a big mushroom cloud and a title something like "The Day We Bombed Utah."
Turns out that they would only proceed with above-ground nuclear testing there in the 50's when the winds were blowing east (from the west) so as not to endanger Las Vegans to the south and Californians to the west).

No, they want to keep that title in reserve, to get the idiot vote in 2028. "Vote for This Empty Pantsuit to be the First Woman President!"
They'll want another white woman, like Hillary, though. To save "First Black Woman President" or "First Latina President" for another election.

Yeah, I was going to make the same point, it would be a waste of a "historic first", which is a big part of their usual gameplan. No way they'll blow they're load on Harris now. *throws hanging curveball*.

There are many lefites I enjoy their takes on. However, it never fails: They lose me with Israel/Gaza. I just don't get the knee-jerk anti-Israel hate while believing at face value Pali propaganda, especially about civilian casualties they cry about yet also create.
I'm not for giving military aid/money around the world anymore, but I'm also wishing we would stop telling Israel to stop. It's their problem, let them finish it. We have bigger fish with China/Iran.

If you can find an old, but SOLID, wooden surveyor's tripod that can attach and hold the 'scope's motorized "clock" base, BUY that tripod.
And then spend more than you've ever given yourself permission TO spend on a "gadget", and buy the best glass you can find.
A BRILLIANT 8" scope will beat all to hell, any lesser 10" scope, and etc.
Mine is not an astronomical scope, but my Vortex Razor 27x60x85 Angled Viewfinder scope, CLEARLY rendered Saturn and it's rings, and Jupiter with it's moons, during the "Convergence" event, four or five years back.
Buy Quality glass, realized Quality results.

You'll want some astronomy photos. They've got nifty cel fone adapters for that, now.
You can't GET good pics though, without a proper, computer driven TRACKING base, that does it all and does it right, every damn time.
So, that's Monster Tripod. Tracking Base. Killer Glass.

Nice! I was searching the 'net to find a telescope similar to mine. Found one identical to it on a British site called "Gunstar.com". The identify it as a Victorian midshipman's telescope, and value it at 395 pounds. Mine is missing the leather strap that retain the objective lens cover, but it might be around here someplace. The stitching rotted out.

Do not ever sell it. They didn't sell all that many of those, and they were OMG expensive for them to make.
Most folks don't know. But Nikon was one of the FEW Japanese lens makers that formulated and made their own glass. Olympus, another. The third? Fujinon. And all through the 80s/90s, Fuji TV lenses were the NFL standard on their broadcast cameras.
It would take a historical detective though, to undwind the DNA of the Japanese camera industry, post WWII.
That multi-thousand $ Contax has it's roots in the humble Yashica SLRs of the 70s. Contax's Made in Japan "Zeiss" lenses? Zeiss optical design, rendered in Japanese glass, in Japanese (former) Yashica factories.
Someone would have to enlighten me, as to any CURRENT U.S. maker of PREMIUM optical glass. For any application. Fair warning. The art and science of Optical Glass is one hell of a Deep Dive. Reader Beware.

I've had many makes and type of cameras over the years. Still using my simple Nikon D3200 SLR.
But the best overall camera I ever had was a simple Olympus rangefinder back in the mid 70's. Super sharp pics and very real life colors. It was outstanding.

Also from here to you both, and Debby. These are some trying times lately.
Since Jules went in the ER Fri with a perforated ulcer she hasn't been awake for 3 days. They told tell me she needs to be sedated and ventilated to help her rest and heal. Today did dialysis.
I vacillate between thinking she's going to be fine and other worse outcomes. Is this the right course? Maybe weaning her off of sedation would help her respiration?
I'd ask if anyone else has been in a similar situation but of course they are all different. It just dawned on me that really she is in a medically induced coma.

He helped Soros break the British pound, and did the same to Japan.
He would not think of Soros as evil. It was probably just a good business decision in his mind, and he made a billion doing it.
He may well be loyal to Trump. Or he could be up to no good whatsoever. Or he could be the exact sort of cutthroat SOB we need at Treasury. He could be All of the Above.
He seems to have been advising Trump in his last term to some extent, and things went well, so... guess we wait and see. But I don't like the Soros connection. At all.
I do love that he has clearly learned a lesson about not allowing Swamp Creatures in. I want more Homan types and less Yale types , though.

I know Rubio is not on many issues. He was crap on the border a decade ago. But he has been a strong supporter of Trump recently, and he does articulate the issues as well. Of course, he hast to have some voice of his own, but in the end, his job is to help the president articulate his voice to the rest of the world. That’s just my view on it. I didn’t pick the guy supposedly Trump did.

Canon's upper end SLR and even upper end rangefinder lenses were always made of in house glass.
Into the 80s n 90s though, they had a lot of really cheap, 35mm consumer grade stuff. Some even had some polycarbonate elements in the focal groups.
THOSE were not made by the Utsunomiya plant. Malaysia, IIRC.
Canon T-70, (and your "kit" lenses), I'm lookin' at you, kid.

BUT I won't second-guess Trump. I have to believe he's better prepared this time and I have to trust his judgment.

I read a statistic that 25+% of people in federal prison are illegals, and a good chunk of that are drug traffickers. Deport them. The more recent arrivals self deport to Canada or Mexico. By the time you get down to the illegals that have been here 10+ years and built a family and have anchor babies, the ones the left always screeches about, that's a small percentage to figure out compared to the rest.

I could give 20 examples but I’ll give just one at least in this post lol. In my region, I have seen several Charitable organization shut down because the demand was so high. They had no chance of fulfilling it. It is the opposite of what you would think would happen you would think they would re-double their efforts, but they were overloaded so quickly they simply said we’re out of business. And these were the people that helped the poor and homeless in our area.

Yes. The kit lenses are a consequence of expanding the market for SLR/DSLRs. They are complete trash while being quite serviceable for entry grade gear. Canon at one time had entry level things masquerading as camera lenses, a mid-range series that lacked in build quality but performed remarkably well (the EF 50 mm 1.4 and the EF 28 mm-135mm IS 3.5-5.6 as two examples), and the "L" series.
Today, as a result of the transition to mirrorless optics, the mid-range lenses have disappeared. I recently took a hard look at the premium RF lens line up at it still has a number of holes in it that Canon is still working at filling. I wouldn't be surprised if Canon reintroduces the mid-range when they finally reach build out.
I am fussing around with of picking up a Sony a7CR which packs a 60 megapixel sensor into a body about the size of a rangefinder box. I may start with a couple Samyang or Viltrox lenses due to their compact size, excellent optics, and remarkably low cost.

This is not sitting well with the Marxist tech commentators whom I find tedious and amusing. Everything with them boils down to this, "Elon Musk is a fascist who belongs nowhere near any public office in the United States." When you are a Marxist you mortal enemy is Fascism. From that sense the nitwit that wrote this quote labeled Musk correctly from a Marxist perspective even though I doubt he or she has a clue about the what constitutes an actual Fascist. So far none of these commentators are talking about emigrating which I find disappointing, watching attempt to them inflict their petulance elsewhere would be most amusing.
