  1. Jason Miller says it's possible. I guarantee it.
  2. BRIC is a failure. AI Overview (from Google) The BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) has faced several failures, including: Lack of impact: The BRICS has not become a major player in the global economy or diplomacy. Its summits have been frequent, but have not produced any lasting or concrete value. Lack of a clear agenda: The BRICS has not developed a permanent bureaucracy, steering structure, or clear agenda. Failure to create a global reserve currency: The BRICS has not been successful in creating a global reserve currency that would reduce the world's dependence on the U.S. dollar. Disparate paths: The members of the BRICS have taken different paths, which weakens the analytical value of viewing the group as a coherent economic grouping. Lack of coordination: The BRICS has lacked coordination on priority issues. Unequal growth: The BRICS has experienced unequal growth. Low trade integration: The BRICS has low trade integration. Lack of assertiveness: The BRICS has lacked assertiveness in the face of the international order. The BRICS 2024 summit in Kazan was a diplomatic and political success for President Vladimir Putin, but it failed to take any new steps towards de-dollarization
  3. Best reason for a win ever.
  4. Not even worth wasting the time to read: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PJ_Media PJ Media, originally known as Pajamas Media, is an American right-wing[1] subscription-based[2] commentary website
  5. Sorry. They do have the right to play music louder than you like. There are generally time restrictions where they can't do it after 10pm for example.
  6. It must have been so painful to go through all that noise before you became numb to it. Maybe you were unlucky and grew up on a farm and was exposed to the ridiculous noise from birth.
  7. Careful. Your IQ, or lack thereof, is showing.
  8. It's not noise, it's music. Might be noise to you but that is irrelevant.
  9. Looks like sue is getting a little testy because Trump is going to lose.
  10. Makro has bonus points? Not as far as I know. They used to require you to sign up before shopping but they gave that up years ago. My card has remained in my wallet for a long time as it's easier to say “no card“ than dig it out. No benefit to me, so why waste the time. The main use for the card, other than for the businesses needing the tax docs, is to track what you buy.
  11. You're SOL. Excess noise is legally only a problem after a specific time, typically 10:00 pm. You can move when your lease is up, or leave now and abandon your deposits. Just feel lucky the guy living next to yo doesn't have a chicken. That problem is 3 or 4 am.
  12. He needs som help in Ukraine. Maybe you should show your support by going and assisting Putin there.
  13. Yada yada yada. What a COS. When Elon Musk purchased Twitter in October 2022, the company was valued at approximately $44 billion. However, Fidelity’s latest assessment places X Holdings’ current valuation at around $9.4 billion. https://www.business-standard.com/world-news/trump-s-truth-social-beats-musk-s-x-in-value-what-s-behind-the-surge-124103000366_1.html
  14. X/Twitter was always questionable. After Musk went down the rabbit hole and bought it, fired all the people that were trying to keep the info accurate and renamed it X, it got much worse. Musk brags about how it's all free speech, meaning any lie you want to tell. Hardly an appropriate place to get truth. I'll continue to get my facts from accredited news sources that, if they do report something incorrect, they announce that fact. Please give some examples of X/Twitter or any of your other “news“ sources correcting their mistakes. Remember Faux news being fined almost $800 million for continually lying about voting machines? I didn't think so.
  15. According to the MAGA morons, everything Trump says is out of context.
  16. Who cares. It was brilliant. You can't unring that bell. Trump is toast.
  17. Speaking of the deplorable channel, whatever happened to Trump TV?
  18. I delete any subtitles embedded/accompanying videos I download. I then get the one I like (no SDH) with a4ksubtitles, addic7ed, or opensubtitles addons in kodi. But then, I'm not hearing impaired (yet) and only need the subtitles for words I miss or accents that are unfamiliar to me.
  19. So what? What has that to do with the topic of this (your) thread.
  20. X is hardly a reputable source of info these days. Might as well quote (un)Truth Social.
  21. Lots of 720p's around. Frankly I don't see much if any difference between 480p, 720p and 1080p. I generally watch 480p(dvd quality) video. The big jump in video quality was from CRT to flat screen. Anything since has been of little consequence, IMO. I'll take quality content on CRT or 480p over most of today's junk on the latest hardware. Just because you can see every strand of each actor's nose or pubic hair doesn't improve the enjoyability of what you're watching.
  22. Yes. Put Trump on SNL. That would be so entertaining.
  23. Why would anyone be so stupid to be running around with an expensive necklace at 2:00 am. Does he think it will get him the best LB's out there?
