American Mechanic Freed After Two Years in Taliban Custody 'President Trump — amazing'
After spending more than two years detained in Afghanistan, American airline mechanic George Glezmann has finally been released by the Taliban. Glezmann, who was taken into custody in December 2022 while visiting the country as a tourist, landed in Qatar on Thursday evening before continuing his journey back to the United States. "President Trump — amazing. Thank God he's in the White House where he's at and thank God he got me out." His release was confirmed following a meeting in Kabul between the Taliban government’s foreign minister and a US delegation led by Adam Boehler, the US hostage envoy. Also present was Zalmay Khalilzad, the former US envoy to Kabul. This marked the highest-level direct talks between the two governments since President Donald Trump’s inauguration in January. The Taliban’s foreign ministry stated that Glezmann’s release was granted "on humanitarian grounds" and as "a goodwill gesture." US Secretary of State Marco Rubio welcomed the outcome, calling it "a positive and constructive step." Since the Taliban regained power in 2021, official contact between the two governments has typically taken place outside Afghanistan. However, Qatar played a crucial role in facilitating the negotiations that secured Glezmann’s freedom. Afghanistan’s foreign ministry emphasized in a statement on X that the agreement demonstrated the country’s willingness to engage "all sides, particularly the United States of America, on the basis of mutual respect and interests." Glezmann, a 65-year-old mechanic for Delta Air Lines, is now on his way to being reunited with his wife, Aleksandra. Rubio expressed gratitude to Qatar for its "instrumental" role in ensuring his safe return. Photographs taken at Kabul airport show Glezmann before his departure, accompanied by Boehler, Khalilzad, and Qatari officials. While in captivity, he was able to maintain only "periodic and limited telephone contact" with his wife, according to the James Foley Foundation, which tracks cases of Americans detained overseas. His return marks a rare instance of direct diplomatic success between the US and the Taliban, offering a glimpse of potential future engagements despite the complex relationship between the two governments.

New Google Docs: "Help Me Write"....What IS this garbage?
Dear Folks, Can anyone explain how to use this NEW Google Docs? I do not understand it. Why is Google Docs making it more, and more, difficult for me to be able to write what I want to write? Why does Google want to WRITE FOR ME, instead of letting my Freak Flag Fly? Someday, soon, will Google Docs become unusable for those who wish to write what they want to write? Will we forget how to write if computers write for us....in time? What is the REAL "plan" behind this new Google Strategy to make humans dumber? Is Google softening us up, and dumbing us down...in advance of.....the Final Countdown to turning the brains of us humans into.... PABLUM? Worried and regards, Gamma Note: For sure, I am worried. Now, whenever I open a Google Gmail....There is always this THING interfering with my cursor, stating that it wishes to POLISH my writing....but WHY? "Help me write Alt + H" This is a CONSPIRACY designed to turn our minds to MUSH, obviously. If you have not yet noticed this, then have you been hiding under a rock? Pls advs.... -

Solar - 8kW Hybrid Inverter w/10kWh (upgraded to 20kWh in Sept. 2022) ESS/battery (not DIY)
That is absolutely brilliant. I see you have different settings during the day, so during cloudy days, you will always start the night with 50% batteries. Just one question, shouldn't your grid charge settings be ON? What brand of inverter are you using? -
