She announces herself an Independent. Of course she also has a book coming this fall titled “Independent: A Look Inside a Broken White House, Outside the Party Lines”

Like Jake Tapper, trying to cash in while also attempting to absolve themselves of any wrongdoing. Watergate doesn’t hold a candle to the magnitude of this four year-long cover-up.

I've never really spent the time to truly understand crypto and I've historically / hysterically turned my nose up at things like Paypal, Venmo, etc... I know I'm probably missing the boat but I've never understood where that boat was taking me... On this board we're generally of the seasoned set and curious how others of my vintage view these things and what persuaded / convinced you to adopt these new practices?

I'm not interested (kinda true) in the investment portion of crypto since all the billions of dollars have already been earned/lost/stolen but is there a case for having crypto wallet in anticipation of whatever?

I'll hang up my landline and listen to responses while I play Atari on my Curtis Mathis....

Awesome!

How about that for press?!

So good!

PS. It’ll change within hours but it’s on there now

Just something to think about. Currently the internet consumes at least 84GW of power, and 1 GW of power is the equivalent of one nuclear power plant. So that is about 84 Nuclear Plants just to keep the internet running.

Now the scary part, AI searches are going to replace Google type searches, and on average an AI type search takes 20X the power of a google search. That means AI searches will require more power than probably all the nuclear power plants that currently exist can produce. We will need hundreds of new nuclear power plants to keep up with AI.

Company after company are pulling or slashing their earnings outlooks as Trump's reckless policies are making it impossible to forecast earnings.

"Executives are increasingly sounding the alarm over how Trump’s vacillating trade policies have sapped consumer and business sentiment, raising fears that even if tariffs are rolled back substantially, the damage done in the last few months will not be easily reversed."

Whether you like what you think his end goal is, the market reaction has led to layoffs and chaos. Despite Trump's strong handed approach, he may be forced to pull back so businesses can regain some sort of sanity and actually create plans. The ability of businesses to plan is an absolute necessity.

Part of me thought maybe shock is the only way to get things to happen, although I'd have preferred a more surgical approach. I thought maybe this is just part of Trump's negotiating strategy to get some movement. But with the difficulty this is creating for businesses, he will be losing some of his leverage. Foreign countries will see this and may wait it out as our own businesses push back and do their fighting for them. At least to an extent. China is one that could wait it out for the next President if they wanted to. They have always had longer term economic views than that of western nations.

Read something about water shortage/contamination requiring boiling water.
What’s the story?

Aside from the five probable starters and four probable backups, we have a buttload of true freshmen and redshirt freshmen on the OL. I count 8 underclassmen in that group. There would have been 10 had the Helton twins not jumped ship. There are only two sophomores and two juniors in the first 9 I mentioned as well. The other five are seniors. I just didn't realize we were that young.
