It's times like this that make me wish I were Elon Musk. Would love to have the money to build a home such as these showcased in this video. I will not tell you more about them, because you really have to see them to ap[preciate them. Let's just say they take Frank Lloyd Wright homes to the next level. 😁🤙 Really is creative & quality work done on these homes. If interested, I am posting the link to an abndoned manssion, where I have no clue. The mansion was in complete shambles, inside & out. The epxoy floors are...

This is a short video of Ben Crump attempting, unsuccessfully, to read an autopsy. This is actually the second time he's tried to this. This guy supposedly completed college and law school and then passed the bar while being functionally illiterate. This is the state of our country.

I wrote this song a while back and was told it was a "Ballad" Gee I didn't know that was still a thing. I was told I have a nice baritone/2nd tenor voice. ** Make sure to LIKE, SUBSCRIBE and COMMENT!! Also, check out my other songs on there.

President Donald Trump insisted Russia and China are “not participating” in the Iran war. The president made the declaration Friday in a Truth Social post. The post included Trump claimed he is doing “very big favors” for Chinese President Xi Jingping: "President Xi, at our recent meeting in Beijing, China, told me that he would not, under any circumstances, give or sell Weapons to the Islamic Republic of Iran — And that statement included Chinese Companies. Considering our relationship, I take him at his word and, besides, l am doing him very big favors, also. Likewise, President [Vladimir] Putin, despite...

Perhaps the biggest obstacle to data centers seems to be water use. I just saw this: "One of the most common questions we get about AI data centers is how much water do they use? Fair question. Older designs cooled servers by evaporating water and people naturally assume ours do too. They don't. IREN's sites are different. Direct-to-chip liquid cooling in a closed loop. Same idea as a car radiator or a fridge. Fill it once and the water just goes round and round.Over the life of a 200MW site, the initial fill plus every top-up averages out to about...

Q: A yes or no question: are there any DSA members who are not anti-Israel? If you found, name them. I need specifics, names. Not PC talk avoid hedging, whitewashing term like fake "pro-palestinian." Or the other side "pro-Israel." Focus only on 'anti-Israel.' In other words, no matter what Israel ever does, even in defending against genocide attempts, it is always illegitimate. A: The direct answer to your question is no. Under the organization's official platform and strict rules, there are no active, endorsed members of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) who reject the view that Israel is an...

President Donald Trump is marching full steam ahead in support of “absolutely incredible” data centers being built across the United States, and told Americans: “You’re becoming a utility.” The remarks came during Trump’s roughly 20 minute remarks during a Thursday visit to Environmental Protection Agency’s headquarters in Washington D.C., during which he called data centers a “really important subject.” “It is something that you’re very familiar with. The people in the room are real doers. It’s an amazing group,” Trump continued. “We are here today to continue the incredible progress we are making in communities nationwide, to ensure that as...

Unbelievable footage of a hulking bear stranded atop a utility pole in New Mexico has gone viral online, leaving viewers gobsmacked by the beast’s unusual resting place. The jaw-dropping video posted on X was reshared by the US Department of the Interior on Wednesday and racked up tens of thousands of views. “We appreciate the enthusiasm for American Energy Dominance, but this isn’t what we meant,” the department joked in its post. The clip — which was verified to be real — shows the panting bear gripping the crossarm of the power line pole with its front paws while letting...

For weeks, Verona, Wisconsin tried to get Flock to remove the three automated license plate cameras that its city council had voted to stop using. Flock told city employees not to remove the cameras, and a Flock employee told city officials that they were unsure whether the cameras could be remotely disabled, which led the town to decide to put black plastic trash bags over them until Flock eventually removed the cameras itself, according to emails obtained using a public records request by 404 Media. The emails give insight into the process cities face while deFlocking themselves after voting not...

"The House of Representatives passed the 2027 National Defense Authorization Act on Wednesday. The bill still includes the provision which merges the Israeli military into the U.S. military. The NDAA now goes to the Senate where there is still a chance for the Israeli merger provision to be stripped out."

“When you build a new house, make a parapet around your roof so that you may not bring the guilt of bloodshed on your house if someone falls from the roof.” Deuteronomy 22:8 (NIV) At first, this sounds like a small command. Put a railing around your roof. But it tells us something beautiful about God. God knows people fall. So he tells his people to do more than warn one another. He tells them to build mercy into the house. Do not wait until someone is broken on the ground. Put something between them and the edge. ****************** The...

Sorry I thought I posted this in chat previously. What ideas and hints do you have to make life easier and even more fun? Share the wealth? I'll start. Store cat food cans upside-down and it will come out easier. Kill creepy crawlies with damp paper towel. Waggle your fingers on one side of the monster and grab it with the wet towel or tissues from the other side. It works.

Participants included Dr. Norris Bradbury, Director of Los Alamos and Dr. Edward Teller, the father of the hydrogen bomb - but no one seemed to ask, "What the hell are you talking about?"

Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) pressed Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth in a testy exchange on Iran and the state of the Strait of Hormuz. At a Tuesday Senate hearing, Kennedy questioned both Hegseth and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. John D. Caine on the Strait as tensions have escalated between the United States and Iran with the U.S. launching days of strikes and Iran continuing to target ships in the Strait. “Will they put tolls on the Strait?” Kennedy asked Caine. “I don’t know, sir. That’s a decision that’s a hypothetical and will depend on what happens in the...

Former employees can now share information with AARO or the PURSUE task force without fear of violating agreements

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) was asked during a Capitol Hill press conference on Tuesday at what point he will move to use Congressional power to check President Donald Trump’s war in Iran. Johnson pointedly ended his reply by saying “we’ve got to wrap it up” in Iran, which many pundits and political insiders have warned is an additional threat to the GOP keeping its majorities in Congress. Johnson’s answer appeared to be at odds with Trump, who vowed earlier in the day to continue bombing Iran until they come to the negotiating table in good faith. “You repeatedly said...

President Donald Trump went off on ABC News White House correspondent Mary Bruce during a Tuesday press conference in the Oval Office after she asked him about the Iran war, with the president saying she didn’t know “anything” about the conflict. “Mr. President, there are no signs that Iran is ready to stop fighting, so what is the plan? Is the plan to just keep fighting until they give up?” Bruce asked. The president was agitated by the question and bashed her for it. “How would you know there are no signs? Why, do you know something that I don’t...

Dr Rainer Zitelmann doesn't even remember posting the meme on social media that nearly landed him in prison."When I opened the letter from police, I thought it was a misunderstanding," Dr Zitelmann, a German historian and author of about 30 books, told The Telegraph.Berlin police told Dr Zitelmann he had been accused of violating a post-Second World War law that bans the display of Nazi symbols, slogans and imagery – and could now face three years in prison if found guilty.The 69-year-old found out the offending social media post was a meme about Adolf Hitler. But it was one in...
