The court press release said she was sentenced to “45 days to 23 months” and the linked news article garbled that to “23 months and 45 days” which they somehow added up to “nearly 2 years”. No idea why the sentence itself has such a wide range.

It’s fine, if it’s state charges instead of federal then Trump can’t pardon him.

If they say 60% odds when it’s obviously 100%, how does one go about making money on the spread?

I know there are two events, 1) boycott and 2) foot traffic down. I’m not at all convinced that the two are related more than slightly. Foot traffic down = people are broke and/or more frugal because of Trump, maybe. I’d like to know how foot traffic has been for retail in general.

I’m surprised if the boycott is having any effect since I’ve hardly heard anything about it since it started. Target around here is somewhat useful though I haven’t gone there since pre-boycott. Also when I’ve gone, I’ve often taken parking lot delivery, which might not count as foot traffic.

Stoli USA, which distills vodka and other spirits, on Nov. 27, 2024, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy after financial distress led to a default on $78 million in secured debt owed to Fifth Third Bank NA

I didn’t see anything in the article about the agent being held (locked up) in contempt of court. Judges are allowed to do that. This seems to have been a weaker meaning of “held”, where the person is potentially in legal trouble but meanwhile is still at large.

Dems were hoping that anti Trump backlash would flip those seats. Oops.

Pretty stupid since if you use the bank’s regular voice-menu phone service, chances are it asks you to enter your PIN on the touch tone keypad. It has no way to know what dialer app you are using.

I know that some banks used to give out hardware 2FA tokens and if done right, that’s way more secure than any phone app, but obvs has convenience issues.

I have gotten by without usng bank apps of any sort. Maybe they are better than I realize and I don’t know what I’m missing, but that’s just as well.

Why do non price sensitive customers go to dollar tree in the first place? They have daiso for that.

Basically there’s no executive branch. Voters elect parliament and parliament elects government ministers (equivalent to the Cabinet) and the PM, similar to how the US Congress elects a speaker and committee chairs.

Yes I’ve been using it, it’s nice. Just wish it could set the font bigger.

This is about Nixon’s Treasury secretary, William Simon.

Yeah I see now. I think I can calculate a meaningful upper bound using the GINI index. I’ll see if I can work out numbers that look plausible, and make another post sometime.

I wonder how they set those endpoints and how they have changed over the years.

It used to be “all lives matter” and now it’s this? Wow.

‘People Will Not Forget’

They always forget.

I’d say forget Android and just use a Linux board.
