The NC fire marshal claiming no one was kicked out of an Amish built tiny home.

Apparently 1500 already (plus 2500 already there) - maybe up to 10,000 total.

"to support the activities of the Secretary of Homeland Security in obtaining complete operational control" of the border.

@ILoveAmericaNews
There is no Spanish site for the Trump White House that I am aware of. It was just something Pinocchio Joe told people to put up. There is probably some press release describing it somewhere.

Here is something from 2021 about Biden putting it back up

@DarthRadar @ILoveAmericaNews
Obsolete link, now here
https://bidenwhitehouse.archives.gov/es/

But yeah - turns out to be a cute meme.

@DarthRadar @ILoveAmericaNews
The whole Biden White House site is now hosted at that new address. The new Trump White House site is at whitehouse.gov.

Nothing was "taken down" - just moved. They did this on the Trump -> Biden transition as well and several before that one.

Should be Kamala's husband instead of Musk.

@ILoveAmericaNews
Are you aware that isn't "The Guardian"?

One tech story

https://notthebee.com/article/more-than-140-facebook-mods-in-kenya-have-been-diagnosed-with-severe-ptsd/

Where over 140 workers for Facebook in Kenya have been diagnosed with severe PTSD & other problems. They were working as safety moderators - describes some of the stuff they were hired to review.

Lawsuits incoming.

@ageha
Umm. There are a few left

The last "full sized" Kmart in the continental US closed Oct 24, 2024. There is a smaller one in Miami still open.

A few Kmart stores remain open in Guam and the US Virgin Islands.

Jim Cramer suggests a Harris win

https://www.cnbc.com/2024/11/04/cramer-says-mondays-action-suggests-some-anticipate-a-harris-win.html

Time to bet on Trump!

@freemo @randahl
Yeah, sort of.

But then I see reasons like
"Federates with the usual suspects"
or
https://fba.ryona.agency/?reason=Federates+with+the+usual+suspects
where we have over 800 rejects with that (or a similar) reason.

Where we have people who block servers because they talk to the "wrong people".

SMH.

@djsumdog
A few suggestions
- could you post a picture clearly showing the front of the case?
- could you post a close up picture of the logo?
- if you pull it out, is there a label on the back panel? Thinking of a model number, lot number, serial number, or other identification.

I also found this

Not a black case but what was demoed at Computex 2005.

@Twig
Zero for agricultural work. You got paid by the pound for picking fruits or vegetables. IIRC, a penny a pound for green beans.

I worked at a car wash for a few weeks in 1974. The minimum wage was $1.60 (federal) according to
https://www.oregonlive.com/business/2014/01/oregons_minimum_wage_1968_to_2.html
I think I got paid $2 or $3 an hour plus tips. The "manager" got $5 an hour.

I got a GS5 job at McNary Dam later that summer & was paid more than the car wash manager. Had to pay for a spot in a trailer park though - maybe $30 a month.

@chris
Okay....

TL;DR - Too verbose.

The FAQ & Glossary far outweigh the content of the story. Being a cheap bastard I just use GPT4All on my laptop with Mistral-Instruct and even it generates way too long responses.

It is this kind of stuff that will make the AI models worse over time as they take this as input into later iterations.

@macspace @ZeroSum06
Actually this is recent.

I saw that last week & the person is really scared of COVID when I looked into it.

She hasn't posted in a couple weeks - I guess too much blowback.

EPA proposed clean water rules may end small meat processing facilities

https://brownstone.org/articles/epa-threatens-locally-produced-beef/

where the cost to clean water to the levels required could be over $300K to buy & $100K / year to operate.

Notes that a SCOTUS ruling about Chevron deference could kill this new rule - we will see.
