He has a safe hooked up to a case of acid and an accelerant that he can trigger. Even if you agree with his point, why are you acting like a James Bond villain?

I don't agree with him but I approve of the methodology.  If you are going to be crazy, be crazy with some flair and creativity.  Of course, if he were a man of conviction, he would get in there himself with the art to maximize the sacrifice but some people just don't care enough.

The Canadian election should be interesting as well.

One of them was a Warhol picture, so that actually would be kind of appropriate I guess?  I dunno I'm not good at art.

The main issue is cost of housing for millennials, especially "starter home" variety housing.

No doubt there are several unique challenges facing millennials and the starter home is certainly one that could be troubling.

Don't get me wrong - I want free stuff too

especially something like an apartment (or a hooker)

I just don't think I'm entitled to such things (except maybe hookers)

Yeah, I'm pretty sure you aren't entitled to much of anything.  Not even a pint of Watney's Red Barrel.

btw - My daughter is fully expecting to pay for a flat but is a bit naive as to the actual costs and details associated with borrowing money.  I'll give her the down payment but rest is on her.

seems like a fair deal - if you have the money to help your kids start out, that's a good way to do it, give them a little kickstart but also the long-term benefit of self-reliance

Lula da Silva keeps his promise: Amazon deforestation reduced by 64%

 

The current president, Lula da Silva, promised to stop deforestation when he took office – and it looks like Silva is keeping his promise. Compared to the previous year, deforestation fell by 64% in November 2023. According to the Brazilian Space Agency (INPE), around 200 square kilometres were destroyed. This is the smallest area since the evaluations began. It is also the first time since 2018 that less than 10,000 square kilometres have been deforested in one year.

Navy Chief Petty Officer Charged with Espionage for Sharing Classified Information with Foreign National

https://www.military.com/daily-news/2024/02/22/navy-chief-petty-officer-charged-espionage-sharing-classified-information-foreign-national.html

Quote

Pedicini marks the third sailor in a year to face espionage-related charges. In January, Wenheng Zhao, 26 -- who is also known as Thomas Zhao -- was sentenced to just over two years in federal prison for transmitting sensitive U.S. military information to a Chinese intelligence officer. The petty officer second class had sent more than 50 technical and mechanical manuals for various systems of the USS Essex and similar ships to his "handler," court documents show.

Zhao was arrested and charged in 2023 alongside Jinchao Wei, a machinist mate separately assigned to the USS Essex in San Diego. Wei was charged with four counts of conspiring and sending defense information to a foreign citizen and has yet to be sentenced, according to the Justice Department.

While court documents detail Wei and Zhao each receiving thousands of dollars for alleged actions, no such information has been made public regarding Pedicini's case. A request for further comment from Naval Surface Forces was not returned.

Pedicini, originally from Tennessee, first enlisted in 2008. His awards include a Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal, three Good Conduct Medals, and two Sea Service Deployment Ribbons.

The third squid to be arrested for espionage in a year?

WTF?

British authorities on Friday said they had found more than 12,500 pounds of cocaine hidden in a shipment of bananas, shattering the record for the biggest single seizure of hard drugs in the country.

The National Crime Agency said 5.7 tons of cocaine were found in a container of bananas at the port of Southampton on England's south coast on Feb. 8. The haul of drugs had an estimated street value of $568 million, the agency said.
