Musk just tweeted a picture of him leaving a Twitter code review meeting with a group of remaining, hard working employees are clearly NOT self entitled wokesters. Interesting to look at the photo; the loyal, hard working employees who are remaining are (in that picture, at least) 99% male, and about 2/3 asian.

Why did the democrat in CO-3 concede before the mandated recount and issued a statement that he does not want the recount to happen. He even issued a statement to his donors to not contribute money to his campaign for the recount because he wants nothing to do with it.

I'm actually quite curious to know if getting rid of 3/4 of the staff will put Twitter in the black, and even more importantly, enable Musk to make enough money to cover the opportunity cost on the $44B he spent. Probably not, but then, nobody was concerned about Bezos spending much more than WaPo was worth, or Slim doing the same for NYT. Funny that.

Right, but let's say they have Google says they had 7,500 employees. That puts their annual expenditure on salaries at $1.5B. Getting rid of 2/3s of them gets you to $500M, for an annual savings of $1B. That's only 2.3% of $44B. Now if Twitter finally becomes profitable through ads and new customers, great.

Hell, wish we had any of her type here in the USA. Not just someone who exposes the things she exposes, but does it with such ferocity and passion. From what I have seen of Kari Lake and Ron DeSantis, they seem to have it in them. But they have thus far only been talking about things on a local level. DeSantis talks about not allowing things to happen in Florida (i.e. CRT, sexualization of children in schools, gender dysphoria madness, etc). That message needs to expand to saying that these things cannot happen in America, American culture and society, not just Florida. I look forward to hearing what he has to say about those things when he runs for President (as well as what President Trump has to say about these things during his campaign).

It's my guess that Musk has one or two motivations.
1) He wants a powerful media voice. 2) He sees Twitter as the foundation for a much larger media empire based on other applications. IOW, he'll do something like what Zuck is trying to do but failing miserably at. It could be that he's trying to do both 1 and 2. In order to do that, he's creating a much leaner, hard-charging team by burning off the dross that had accumulated at Twitter. Posted by: Archimedes at November 19, 2022 09:39 AM (eOEVl) 99

The disabled 32-year-old woman, known only as Denise to protect her identity, is now in the final stages of the process and is preparing for her medically assisted death appointment. Doctors will soon pull the plug on Denise after she suffered seven futile years of applying for affordable housing in Toronto. Denise suffers from a condition known as Multiple Chemical Sensitivity.

Update on my husband: he is now in hospice. They are warm and supportive and also very firm about making me face the decisions ahead. Not so hard for my kids as they have seen this coming for a while. I couldn't and still can't. I keep thinking I'm making it up.
I know many here have bad luck, but I didn't. On my first day skiing I saw him skiing and I said, That one. I never looked back. Well over fifty years ago. It's been my privilege to share my life with him. Oddly enough, one thing has given me some peace. The kids and I were discussing the ugly coffin vs. urn, and my son said, Well, you can visit the urn, even if it's just in a closet. And I said, if I want to visit him, it would be on a ski slope, not a closet. Aha! said my son. So we're going to see if we can spread his ashes on a slope at the ski area nearby where we spent so many gorgeous days together. Posted by: Wenda at November 19, 2022 10:04 AM (5KpDr) 175

I think that a requirement for ballot harvesting to work very well it requires an area of pretty substantial population density (urban, inner city, etc.). That makes it easier for boots on the ground canvassing and network building.
CO-3 does not have any major urban centers. The largest city in the district is Pueblo (pop. 112,932) and next largest is Grand Junction (pop. 66,95 Plus the population is spread out over some 26 counties covering roughly 1/3 of the area of the state.

Jerky... two weeks ago I thawed out a hunk of beef that had been in the freezer for longer than I care to admit. Sliced it up, marinated it overnight and then patted the pieced dry. Laid the pieces out on racks and put them in our dehydrator for about 6 hours.
Beef jerky. Pretty good for a first attempt. A bit salty. But it's supposed to keep without refrigeration for a couple months if sealed in one of those "food saver" type bags. Posted by: Martini Farmer at November 19, 2022 10:10 AM (Q4IgG) 187

Vegan leather is often made from polyurethane, a polymer that can be made to order for any designer’s whim. It can also be made from innovative and sustainable materials such as pineapple leaves, cork, apple peels, other fruit waste, and recycled plastic and used to create products that put animal skins to shame.
For example, PETA Business Friend Desserto’s vegan leather is stylish, sustainable, and made of cactus. Yes, you read that correctly! Desserto makes beautiful vegan leather out of cactus.

Sustainable leather is based on the same conservationist principles as not doing strip mining or clear cut lumber harvesting. You just skin part of the cow at any given time, allowing regrowth to occur in between harvesting.

Probably some confirmation bias going on. You tend to hear more about the close races due to what stories get reported. In a two-party system, close races will be in the range of high 40s to low 50's. The other 7 districts in CO had winners receiving 80% (D), 70% (D), 61% (R), 56% (R), 61% (D), 55% (D) and (the only other close race) 48% (D).

Being too thin can cause other health issues, which is why anorexia isn’t a great thing. But some people are genetically built thin, are on meds that make weight gain difficult, etc. Hopefully y’all can work with a physician and nutritionist for her particular situation.

Divide by Zero: being thin is definitely considered a factor in osteoporosis. I've also had docs tell me that Alice in Wonderland coloring makes you more susceptible. A couple of times a doc has written me a scrip for some med even before I had the Dexa-scan, just assuming I would need it. I'm one of the lucky ones. (Touch wood.)

That cuck Sununu was on the news just now, talking about how the GOp should go back to the old values that the party has held for decades. ---
He's probably talking about something different but to me that means going back to more social conservatism which they abandon thus abandoning morals .

Just because you’re rich doesn’t give you a right to own and break whatever you want. That is rather revealing statement. RBR has a whole new definition of what it means to be "rich", at least from an economic and wealth perspective. IOW, to be monetarily rich doesn't mean that you own assets or property. It is more of a trigger word for "lucky" or "privileged" - completely disconnected from the concept of ownership and control of personal/private property. it follows in the pattern of the WEF where people are promised that they will have access to things that normally are afforded and enjoyed by property owners, but that their access is conditional on foreign and unrelated criteria (eg. devotion to the Party, social score, CRT totem position, etc.) These lizards don't even understand English anymore.

The American people want two things:
1) Corporate tax cuts, and 2) Unlimited immigration What is interesting about that combination is that where the interests overlap requires industry. Industry requires some formula of labor, talent, materials and energy. The university system has failed to produce talent, materials are regulated to be domestically unaffordable and the government is promising an everlasting energy famine such where not only is power (either through fuel or electricity) is unreliable, but is horribly expensive when rationed or found (ref: Europe) Flooding the country with potential labor but not having any of the other elements makes 1) moot, since companies can't produce anything due to the three other missing elements.

So the patents don't have any value, none of the hardware/servers, the IP the branding - none of it has any value whatsoever. Twitter has already had to engineer scaling into the system years and years ago. I'm not a Twitter user so I'm not aware of any public facing features that have been added that would require large staff of developers. Other than the occasional server falling over, dealing with the usual outages and equipment aging out and needing replacement, the scheduled backups and keeping up with the latest security updates. A good DevOps team could keep Twitter running until Musk can assemble a team of Product, Partnership and Marketing people that aren't corrosive to the Brand.

The Left is terrified because Twitter owns all the material posted to its platform (including the "private" DMs that people send to each other). They all agreed to that, when they accepted Twitter's Terms of Service (you know, that thing that nobody reads). Elon can bring the temple down, if he chooses to start publishing some of the DMs that prominent Leftists used to communicate with each other.
