One main difference is that Trump has a competent VP that can take over the reins if he's 25th'ed, or steps aside on his own. Biden had insurance against being shunted aside by cognitive decline, or impeachment. In the form of an incompetent DEI hire.

If it walks like a duck, talks like a duck, looks like a duck and swims like a duck, that's probably a picture of a duck. It's the same with pictures of Bondo.

That's not unusual at all, and often negotiated in advance. Especially if someone's taking a risk to accept the job. If it doesn't work out, they get more than the legally required severance.

If you're using polar coordinates, the earth is flat. Well, almost flat. There are mountains and R is a little bigger around the equator.

The appeal of the Mini NEO is flying indoors. They had one zipping around the DJI showroom when I was shopping. Looked like it would be fun to chase the cat, just for practice. Maybe not so fun for the cat...

I ended up buying a DJI Mini 3, because it has a better camera, and the other choice (Mini 4k) was out of stock. Plus, if I like it and decide later to buy a Mini NEO, the controller will work. 2388 RMB, which is about 12000 baht. Not cheap, but, oh well. In for a penny, in for a pound. I bought it in China instead of waiting a few days until I hit Thailand, because I was concerned about activating it in Thailand, then not being able to fly in China. They activated it (and in English) before I left the store. The other reason for the DJI is that's what 90+% of the locals fly at the park I frequent. I'll fit in better, and the locals in China know the best deals. They're notorious deal shoppers. I'll post back once I sit through the numerous DJI training videos and actually fly the thing.

I want them to base their accusation on something the beside dock rash in that photo, and get the right guy. I've hit submerged and floating objects on a jet ski and never had damage like the photo, especially so far above the water line. BTW, what do you call that 3mm thick white layer below the peeling black paint? We call it Bondo.

Most of the rest rooms I frequent nowadays have vending machines selling toilet paper. 'Cause, we're not in Kansas any more, Toto.

Is that why the uber-expensive airlines advertise the piano bar on their premium flights? Jeez. It's a holiday flight and they're acting like they're on holiday. We from the nanny states have been incrementally castrated over the years in the name of safety and the illusion of security.

When you look at your account statements, are there any service charges added for pulling out your American plastic for a $0.76 charge in Thailand? I'd be afraid the bank would tack on some horrendous fee.

I'd be fine with that, but I just go in to pee and wash my hands. I don't surreptitiously adjust my makeup, brush my hair and all those other things that happen in Ladies' rooms. I'm glad they have that space to be chicks, because I like how they look.

Break down and buy a new computer. They're cheap as chips nowadays. Sooner or later, entropy gets the better of them. Do it while you're still able to copy your important files and settings over to the new one.

Somewhere, there's an Indian guy complaining about how constrained he was on a flight because nobody was allowed to get up and chat and have fun. It is a holiday, after all.

If there was more than one jet ski on CCTV (there were at least 2 according to the OP), and the only criteria they used to determine which one hit the swimmer was "damage", I think they have, at best, a 50:50 chance of having the right guy. Even lower if there were several jet skis out at the time. If witnesses and/or CCTV could differentiate between the riders, so be it. Good on the police for getting the guy. But it needs to be based on something other than damage shown in that photo.

That's Bondo.
