  1. Season 1 episode 1 dropping now. 6 episodes, one a week. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt12908464 NineBodies in a Mexican Morgue follows nine strangers who find themselves lost in a remote Mexican jungle after their small plane, traveling from Guatemala to the U.S., crashes. One by one, the survivors are murdered, leaving the remaining passengers to solve the terrifying mystery before they too fall victim to the killer.
  2. DOGE Secretly Changes Receipts for Almost Half Its Supposed Savings Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency is once again reorganizing its wall of hunting trophies from supposedly slain government contracts. This time, it has quietly removed five of its seven largest kills from last week, erasing $4 billion in supposed savings. The New York Times reported Monday that the night before, DOGE erased or altered 1,000 claimed savings, or roughly 40 percent of entries into its “wall of receipts,” which has previously proven to be exaggerated or fraudulent. That appears to have been the case with the contracts that were removed Sunday. The removals included the site’s biggest trophy, a canceled contract with Centennial Technologies for technical support for the IRS, which was supposedly worth $1.9 billion. Although DOGE had bragged about the “incredible job” the U.S. Treasury had done in identifying the waste, the Times reported earlier last month that the contract had actually been canceled in November, during the Biden administration. On Sunday, it disappeared from the wall. Another vanished entry claimed $133 million in savings from canceling a contract between USAID and development firm Chemonics International in Libya, but a LinkedIn post revealed that the contract had ended last year. In some cases, it seems that DOGE didn’t even earn its biggest hunting trophies. Other entries were removed due to obvious accounting mistakes that appeared to be the product of human error. One claimed $149 million in savings from a canceled contract to provide administrative support to the Department of Health and Human Services. But DOGE’s website linked to the wrong contract, which didn’t list the correct company, purpose, or value. Even after the latest round of deletions, errors still persisted on the site. DOGE still claimed that it had saved $106 million by canceling two contracts for administrative support to the U.S. Coast Guard—but in reality, those contracts were completed during the Bush administration. https://www.yahoo.com/news/doge-just-changed-almost-half-195929564.html
  3. Thanks for confirming that my post is true. You Russian trolls stick together then, obviously.
  4. VPNs have no effect using GV. I think you're confused. Please explain what doesn't work when you're using a VPN with GV.
  5. Is there a difference? Same thing I think.
  6. Whoever found the passport can easily look up when he arrived and when his visa is good till. Is he an expat with lots of stamps or arrived a week ago?
  7. Anybody but Trump or Erdoğan. No Putin stooge should get the job.
  8. Yes, it was Hunter's. Aww. Too bad. He's been pardoned. Awww.
  9. Haha. Your screenshot conviently excluded the meat of the article. Any you didn't provide the link to back it up. Typical MAGA moron nonsense. Well. Here's the link. https://time.com/7258453/trump-musk-social-security-dead-fraud-fact-check/ And here's what it really says. WASHINGTON — The Trump administration is falsely claiming that tens of millions of dead people over 100 years old are receiving Social Security payments. Over the past few days, President Donald Trump and billionaire adviser Elon Musk have said on social media and in press briefings that people who are 100, 200 and even 300 years old are improperly getting benefits—a “HUGE problem,” Musk wrote, as his Department of Government Efficiency digs into federal agencies to root out waste, fraud and abuse. Read More: Inside Elon Musk’s War on Washington It is true that improper payments have been made, including some to dead people. But the numbers thrown out by Musk and the White House are overstated and misrepresent Social Security data.
  10. DOGE schedule? 555 I've seen no evidence of dead people receiving SS. Only Musk saying people 150 years old were getting it. No evidence. Typical MAGA nonsense.
  11. Had anyone on here actually tried this new treatment? As far as I can tell, it's on approval track in both Canada and the US. I think if it works for a few years I'd much prefer doing this every few years instead of a hip replacement. I may even fly to Europe to get it done.
  12. But, but, but I heard them all promise they wouldn't touch social security, medicare or medicaid. Medicaid is currently being gutted, SS next then medicare. Not a big deal for me but all the high school educated MAGA morons that rely on SS will be thrown under the bus.
  13. Oh, look. Another Russian troll.
  14. I have a couple of 2fa's(mainly Canadian) that now give the option of voice delivery of the security code in addition to the SMS. For me the US institutions have not been an issue with SMS to GV. Having local sims in Canada and the US would be problematic. Canadians get raped by their phone companies compared to the US.
  15. Those get put in the luggage compartment by ground crew snd are retrieved by the same at the destination. Last in to the luggage, first out, so they're available right away.
  16. Picked up pace around episode 5. Hard to get all that way though.
  17. Google voice is free. No sim required.
  18. You can get a Schwab international brokerage account if you live in Thailand. US citizenship not necessary. 25k minimum. You can get their wonderful ATM card with no foreign transaction fee and they pay the 250 baht foreign ATM fee. I'm sure they would convert your account. They are quite strict in tax withholdings. I only keep roth stuff there do no withholdings.
  19. I wonder how long before Trump sends troops to back up Putin in his invasion.
  20. I sure did miss all this chaos when Biden was president.
  21. Best thing that could have happened. Expect Europe, etc. to up their support for Ukraine. Isolate those brain addled Americans with their tarrifs of their soon to be ex friends who back tyrants.
