“Market prices for this new housing are likely to far exceed the already high prices that existed in Lahaina before the fire. For renters, the old housing stock that was destroyed provided opportunities for reasonable rents,”
I think this is the issue. Poor folks live in older buildings. Can’t rebuild new old, run-down cheap neighborhoods.
Playing music. Started on a shitty hand-me-down acoustic guitar. Got a better guitar. Got an electric. Got a better amp. Got a couple of pedals. Got a better amp. Got like 6 more amps, some cabs, 5 more guitars, a huge pedalboard, a cello, a keyboard, an audio interface, attenuators, mics, etc etc.
You gotta understand… I need all this stuff. There are subtle differences that you’ve never noticed before but will probably hear once I do an a/b comparison for you, and I absolutely must get an AC15 next to round out the collection instead of buckling down and recording something.
Article: The phrase “Rich men north of Richmond” is a cleverly disguised antisemitic trope
The guy that wrote the song: “It was funny seeing my song at that (Republican) presidential debate. Because I wrote that song about those people"

Calling everything racist isn’t helpful. This song is a poor man’s cry for economic justice, and instead of saying “yeah, that’s the 1% we’ve been complaining about, come over to our side,” the left calls it racist because it has Southern imagery in it.
Let’s keep it civil
Oh, in that case I don’t have a comment on the American healthcare system.
Looks good for at least another couple of hundred yards.
I want the actual reviews so I have at least some chance of figuring out if the reviewer is a bot, a shill, a customer, or is reviewing the UPS guy instead of the product.
From the article you linked:
Donald Trump was found liable for sexually abusing and defaming E. Jean Carroll
From Cornell Law School’s web site:
A party is liable when they are held legally responsible for something. Unlike in criminal cases, where a defendant could be found guilty, a defendant in a civil case risks only liability
At no point in the article you linked did the Judge say that Trump was “found guilty” of anything. Trump has no crime on his criminal record.
The judge in the article says that Trump was found to have raped Carroll, but acknowledged that there is “a legal distinction” between liability and guilt.
I’m not trying to defend Trump here, or argue that he didn’t do what he was found to have done, just pointing out that there is a difference between “found guilty of rape” and what actually happened.
Eggs are gross.
They’re both violations of the conditions of release. Two separate violations, unrelated except for being prohibited behavior.
My guess is they’re cartel, and their boss didn’t like the idea of someone shutting down their trade routes.
It’s been a while since I read the Bible, but I remember a lot of emphasis on treating people you don’t like with love and compassion. I don’t remember anything in there prohibiting using someone’s name because it’s been changed.
Maybe this guy should read his book again.
He organized an event without getting a permit.
The permitting process ensures that there’s adequate security, traffic control, etc.
He didn’t do any of that legally required stuff, and the result was an angry mob. We’ve been through this. This is why you need a permit for large public gatherings, and why he’s legally liable for what happened.
Mr Struk … actively pursued a ‘pro-Russian position’ in the last week by 'communicating with the Russian Federation
Actively supporting an invading force during war isn’t “having a different opinion,” it’s treason.
It can force those who disagree with defederating to find a new instance that has access to all the communities they want. It also makes onboarding new people significantly more complicated, as their choice of instance will drastically influence their feed.
To be clear, I’m not arguing against defederation, just pointing out that it causes issues that need dealt with.
Look into cluster b personality disorders and cptsd. This behavior sounds like “splitting.”
I’m not a mental health professional, but lived with someone who was later diagnosed CPTSD, so I ended up doing a bunch of homework on wtf was going on.
I remember hearing an interview with him many years ago, and he shared a story about the shenanigans he got up to as a kid… he was into phone phreaking (used to be you could control the entire phone system by playing specific tones into any phone) and reprogrammed the phone system to think his friend’s home phone was a pay phone. His friend’s mom would try to call someone and the phone would ask her to deposit 20c. She was furious, and sent her son over to demand he fix it immediately.
I always thought that was one of the best pranks ever. RIP to a legend.
it’s possible that he was offered some kind of deal
It’s been reported that Lukashenko (of Belarus) brokered a deal. I haven’t seen any further details.
Wagner took over Rostov last night. They have an airport.
School libraries ought to have all the major religious works of the major religions. Religion has a lot of influence on the world. There are a lot of reasons someone might want to learn about it.
Having just a Bible is bullshit, and imo overt religious indoctrination.
Ukraine is attacking military targets. That’s the big difference here.
