What makes you think the Democrats will get a chance to nominate someone? There's going to give the nomination to the Republicans as an act of bipartisanship to cross the aisle you know

The jury in U.S. District Court in Alexandria on Friday found Mohammed Tariq, 24, guilty of abusive sexual contact.

Tariq was arrested in September at Camp Upshur in Quantico after Marines observed him fondling the girl, who was not related to him, above her clothes on her private parts.

According to court papers, Tariq tried to explain through interpreters that his conduct was acceptable in his culture. Efforts to have his statements suppressed were rejected by the judge.

There is some wild rear end poo poo in there and people should read the whole thing. I did like that they thought they had a quick reaction force and they discussed the after affects of the “raid” at a loving Olive Garden.

Also one of the guys who offered to take Flaccid Snake in, described himself as a rideshare driver and political consultant.

Holy poo poo this piece of poo poo used to abuse his kids under the guise of martial arts practice. When he was angry he would tell the kids to practice martial arts with him and would hit the children and apologize claiming it was an accident.

Just got the USPS ping about the COVID tests about to be delivered today. So https://special.usps.com/testkits if your address hasn't been signed up yet - don't know if they've fixed bugs related to apartment buildings yet.

Also, been seeing a bunch of postings at local stores/etc that they're about to get the three free Fed N95s from the stockpile, so keep your eyes open for those too.

Yeah it should be interesting when people start posting what they got. It's really unknown how much of the stock was part of a Jared Kushner Special and how much was actually part of normal/emergency government contracts.

As for the *why*, it's not a huge surprise. The national stockpile was a clusterfuck when it started to get pulled from and some of the poo poo in there (lol hydroxychloroquine) is pretty comical. And it's really not designed to ever go down to zero and the masks were mostly destined for healthcare folks that eventually got their own sources after the early clusterfuck. Probably nothing nefarious, or at most, basic government incompetence.

Biden's mostly pulling these because hey - gotta do something and KN95s/N95s are now plentiful as manufacturers caught up.

Platystemon

I am implying that those specimens, at least, are Kushner specials.

By the time Biden took office, healthcare purchasers could order surgical N95s through the usual channels, so whatever, no need to open the spigot, but he really ought to have started refilling the stockpile with excess domestic manufacturing capacity.

Yup that was my excitement too. If there's Dark Troopers, there's a good chance Kyle is cannon.

Eh, doesn't fit as a character or back story. I refuse to believe it. For one thing Kyle was trained by Luke and was eventually seated on the New Jedi Council. So it wouldn't match timeline wise.

I use amazon prime. There's a free Prime music app with prime subscription that obviously doesn't have everything, and I think it's $7/mo for access to everything. And you can download music to your phone so you're not always burning data.

Sucks that it's more money to Bezos, but it's cheaper than the competition and the selection is pretty good.

Amazon Music is really good to me. They have high def, ultra high def, and spatial audio support if your headphones support it. I can’t think of the last time I couldn’t find a son in their catalog. I believe it’s included with Prime. I pay $5.99 for a family plan so my wife can play music on her Alexa Echo speaker in the kitchen and I can stream in my shop on my Bose speakers.

A++ would recommend. Of note, I don’t listen to a ton of brand new music, but they seem to have plenty of that. They have all of Johnny Cash, Jon Prine, and The Highwaymen, and Bob Dylan.

Jon Prine should be a patron saint of GiP for the song “Sam Stone” alone. YouTube link: https://youtu.be/OLVWEYUqGew

Oh nice, looking forward to it. Took a break for a few weeks after the episode with the tedious teenage low speed car chase but glad to know it gets better. If they wanted to stop setting movies/shows on Tatooine, the dullest of planets, or limiting them to one per season I’d be fine with that.

For sure it’s my second favorite SW film only after empire, and has the best space battle. What if battle of Endor, except all the digital effects are figured out and the ground fight makes sense? I liked Mike Duncan’s observation that it’s the rare film about an insurgency that shows factionalism and infighting rather than one happy struggle.

Someone I know did a brief breakdown of pro/cons a while back so here it is, I switched to Apple Music and the algorithms are total dogshit (my preferred genres aren't even options on their "listen now" feature lol) but the playback/catalogue is equivalent. If you have a ton of playlists you want to move over, there's an app called SongShift that will do it for you. I didn't add "actively funds and promotes anti-vax propaganda and probably more of your subscription money goes to Joe Rogan than literally all the artists you listened to this month combined" as a con under Spotify but you can if you want.

quote:

YouTube Music
Pros:
* You can upload 50k of your personal mp3 collection for streaming
* includes ad-free YouTube and ability to listen to YouTube videos with screen locked
Cons:
* loving sucks in general compared to the old Google Play Music
* no upload manager like Google Play Music had. You have to manually upload your own music
* no "power user" features like being able to select multiple tracks when editing playlists
* the algorithms/suggestions/curated playlists suck
* no lossless audio option

Spotify
Pros:
* best algorithms/suggestions/curated playlists
* easy to make and edit playlists
Cons:
*can't upload your personal collection for streaming
* no lossless audio option. they said it was coming in 2021, but never did. Apple offering it in their base plan may have made them reconsider.

Apple Music
Pros:
*best lossless audio option. lossless audio included in base price, and entire catalog is available in lossless
* easy to make and edit playlists
* you can upload 100k songs from your personal collection for streaming, and it's auto-updated
Cons:
* lossless audio not available in iTunes client on PC. there's a workaround by using the Apple Music app on an Android emulator
* lossless audio doesn't work with wireless speaker systems such as Sonos, etc, though apparently it's coming very soon

Amazon Music
Pros:
*lots of lossless music
* best price
* lossless audio works with some wireless speaker systems such as Sonos, etc
Cons:
*worst UI/UX. making playlists is tedious

Tidal
Pros:
* lossless audio
* algorithms/suggestions/curated playlists are good
* lossless audio works on wireless speaker systems such as Sonos, etc
Cons
* very expensive compared to other options w/ lossless audio
* can't upload personal collection for streaming

Bandcamp
Pros:
* you own everything you buy
* artists MUCH more fairly compensated
Cons:
* no subscription service
* streaming catalog limited to your purchases
* no recommended playlists, but the recommendations for what similar uses have purchase are spot-on, and you can find great stuff with just a little more work.

Yeah, it’s similar to how lovely the UI/UX for Amazon Prime Video is. Honestly, it’s a shame for both as they have amazing libraries and just neat stuff, but the problem is half the time you don’t even know it exists.
