How MAGA sees things.

Det virkelig deprimerende er at de som koker kloden har vært i flertall i årevis, og vi andre må dele planeten med dem. :(

“When it comes to the almost 2,000 Palestinians who were released by Israel as part of the deal… there has been silence from much of our mainstream media.”

Jeg sendte mamma min (lite brukte) vertikale datamus da hun fikk nei til det fra egen ledelse på sin jobb som lege ved SUS. Det var visst for dyrt å bruke 700kr på å hindre spesialister fra å få senebetennelse.

Gjett om jeg blir SINT over lederlønna til Marit Lind og Kim Hannisdal…

That's twenty-seven flat-out murders. That's twenty-seven lives taken without even a semblance of a legal justification under domestic or international law.

Thank you for your reply!
I was able to register 2 of 3 pc's for the ESU.

The 3rd machine was bought from a certified reseller, with warranty & everything (incl. a Pro licens), but it refuses to give the option to sign up. Just a message that I am no longer receiving security updates.

Thx, M$ :(

The Vought administration is risking your life in so many different ways. Gutting NOAA will have devastating implications for families, communities, the nation, and the world.

Americans rely on NOAA weather data. Doge cuts may limit services

NOAA data helps many decide what to wear, where to meet friends and what to do during hurricane, tornado or blizzard emergencies.

ICE has been deployed to *provoke* civilians, not to protect them. They want to throw tear gas canisters and get people on the streets riled up, all to create footage for Fox News and Newsmax, et al., that will be used as a pretext for imposing martial law to lower voting rates in Democratic cities.

The only violence I’ve been seeing in Portland is from the so-called Feds!!!

Synes det er trist at du velger å lese mine innspill som negativ kritikk; det var ikke min intensjon.

Og nei, jeg mener ikke at disruptiv protest = hærverk & vold.

Men grensene går ikke på samme sted for alle, og vi lever i en polarisert verden med stadig mer tabloid presse.

I live in EU/EEC zone, and have jumped though all the required hoops on my three pcs.

None of them have been offered ESU, despite me being logged in, synch'd, backed up and with secure boot, 22H2 etc...

I have tried to get ESU for three days now, reading guides, testing and checking. No luck. :(

Portland's famous Unipiper was spotted at the Portland ICE protest where he played his bagpipes in front of Santa, Mr. Potato Head, Garfield and more -- all while surrounded by bubbles.

"Oppressors" er ikke i flertall. Der er støttespillere, de på gjerdet og en del som er motstandere, men passive.

God oppførsel som demonstrant appellerer til de som står på sidelinjen, tenker jeg. Mer enn hærverk og vold, ihvertfall.

...og bruker man de sistnevnte - så gjør man seg lett å ta.

Øh, det var da på Hawai at ting skjedde:

Utrolig prestasjon av Løvseth, også med tanke på det veldig varme været. (Se tiden og distansen.)

Har jeg gått glipp av noe?

Solveig Løvseth med sensasjonell seier i Ironman-VM på Hawaii

Den norske triatleten Solveig Løvseth vant lørdag Ironman-VM i Kona, Hawaii, etter et dramatisk løp i svært varmt vær. 26-åringen fra Trondheim kom i mål på 8.28.27, og sikret Norges første VM-tittel ...

Ikke gni øynene, men prøv å blunke mye.

Vi fikk teste bittelitt CS da jeg var i forsvaret. Ikke kjekt.
Løp mot vinden sa de til oss, men det kan nok være praktisk vrient mange steder.

Skal du på demo, så allier deg med noen, "bring a friend". Pass på hverandre. Og vær grei. ;)

Det er litt hjelp i å vite at 2 av 3 du møter ikke har følt det du selv opplever.

Empati er en ting, erfaring noe annet.

Selv de som vil det beste for deg, skjønner ofte ikke hvordan du har det.

Skjønte ikke helt selv heller, før livet lærte meg ting.
