Quote of The Day
“Ballroom construction is continuing unabated until June 5th at the earliest because the injunction is on hold. We have always acknowledged the utility of a larger meeting space at the White House. Building it lawfully requires the approval of Congress, which the administration could seek at any time.” National Trust for Historic Preservation President and CEO Carol Quillen

*Because thinking outside of the box never occurred to this box.

The three bears become Genius Award Winners

Three people were sentenced to jail in an insurance fraud scheme that involved dressing up as a bear and staging fake attacks.
Alfiya Zuckerman, 39, Ruben Tamrazian, 26, and Vahe Muradkhanyan, 32, pleaded no contest to felony insurance fraud (injuring or destroying insured property) in the "Operation Bear Claw" investigation. The scheme involved the suspects claiming a bear entered their 2010 Rolls-Royce Ghost and destroyed the interior, according to a California Department of Insurance (CDI) news release.
After their November 2024 arrest, each was sentenced to 180 days in jail and two years of supervised probation on Thursday, April 16. Zuckerman was ordered to pay $55,360 in restitution; Tamrazian, $52,268; while Muradkhanyan's restitution amount is still being determined.
A fourth suspect, Ararat Chirkinian, 39, is scheduled to return to court for a preliminary hearing in September 2026.

The honest answer? The government is obsessed with secrecy.

It means no one is ever on the hook, for example deciding if spending government funds on BigFoot is a good expenditure of money

Oh, and the alarm clock seems to have no way to set the time, and it's reading two and a half hours late. Probably setting the alarm won't work either. They'll need another feedback note about that one.

Having been on oilfield jobs in bear country just like that pictured above, the safety hands keep up a constant refrain of "beware of bears", so people are psyched up to bears under every tarp. And if it's an oilfield in Canada, nobody can keep a firearm in camp, except the one Indian whose sole job is to shoot problem bears, when and if they do become a problem.

105 AI bot says:

1. The Public Buildings Act of 1959
40 U.S.C. §§ 3301–3316

This is the closest thing to a “specific statute.”
It requires congressional approval for major alterations to federal buildings above a certain cost threshold. A new White House ballroom is unquestionably a “major alteration.”

Courts have repeatedly held that the White House is not exempt from this Act.

make of that what you will

I take it as a sign that they couldn't balance the power scaling, and instead of either tweaking the mechanics or lowering the ramp rate, they just wiped the progress to keep it in the balanced range. Even with a good in-game narrative reason -- like getting kidnapped or arrested and having everything confiscated -- the meta would keep from fully forgiving them.

This is the closest thing to a “specific statute.”
It requires congressional approval for major alterations to federal buildings above a certain cost threshold. A new White House ballroom is unquestionably a “major alteration.”

Courts have repeatedly held that the White House is not exempt from this Act.

Posted by: Don Black

Yes, That presumes federal funding. Below that cost threshold they can do major repairs with 'maintenance' money at the agencies discretion (the money is given lump sum by Congress w/o regard to specific projects). I had one project where the building "maintenance" money was used to strip it to bare structural steel.
How?
If funded by Congress the threshold is relative to all new construction cost.

I've lived for years with PB&J for lunch, bring in cheap loaf of bread, generic PB and J. This was an office job. Coworkers going out to lunch every day thought I was stuck up or some shit.
Then I moved up to big ass pots of chili. Freeze individual portions. Eat with saltines. Chili for months on end.
Then switch over to bean soup w/ ham or kielbasa...

Move to Hawaii while that deal was still going on... there whopper had the same bun and meat, but a little piece of brown lettuce, sliver of onion, and a mushed half slice of tomato... the veggies in Hawaii coat almost as much as meat because it had to be shipped in 'fresh' vs. frozen.

Here in jersey we can get these ravioli from a company called Pastosa. I think they may have originated in Brooklyn, but you see them in some of the italian stores around here. They come in a box packed in corn meal. My grandmother was the italian cook from hell and thats what she used if she didn't make her own. They are the shit.

If funded by Congress the threshold is relative to all new construction cost.

This is why we spend so much on military housing on base. Redoing old, useless 1950's concrete barracks into "apartments," which are always awful, and cost more than going into town and buying each soldier a 2-bedroom house. It is all "maintenance" money. If we tore the whole thing down and started new, it would be cheaper, but the funding would take 6 years through Congress and might not happen at all, so we spend all the maintenance money making something that's about half-assed.

Under the Unitary executive power he can issue any executive order that is not otherwise illegal to direct the actions of people and property use under the executive purview. The White House is definitely under executive control.

I expect it is on the Historic Register or some such foolishness, which would mean it was administered by the Parks Service. If that were so, then perhaps there would be paperwork to file, but I rather doubt the Parks Service can over-rule the POTUS.

Then again, the East Wing is probably NOT on the Register, because it was a piece of crap. But, you never know.

268 263 I lived in “B Quad” at Schofield Barracks, Hawaii one of the oldest buildings on base. I think it was actually bombed in World War One. Consisting of open bays, the floors were converted into individual 2 or 4 man rooms sometime in the 1960s. During remodels decades later all kinds of contraband was found behind the walls, knives, numbchuks, bags of weed, etc.

Sdhofield is definitely on the Register, but they get around that because it is considered militarily necessary. Also means things like they don't need elevators for the HCP access, etc.

I've found all sorts of odd items when remodeling old barracks on bases. So far no body parts, but some of these guys would squirrel away.... well. Nuff said.

Damn.
I forgot the bacon. Don't forget bacon.

Best thing about making your own is you can focus on the stuff/quality/quantity that matters to you. Sometimes I keep it simple, but most of the time I go total carnivore.
