Plain and simple, this was climate change. North Carolina has had record rain fall this year. Also the hottest summer on record beating out 2023.

Plus side is we are expanding highways and building a lot more houses. Plus we are getting a Buc-ees, so at least we will have cold drinks while we fry and drown.

Damn it Google, how hard is it to spin Trump being liable for raping a woman, supporting a black nazi, supporting klan stories about eating pets, saying he will be a dictator,... (Got tired of typing). You know all the shit he does.

Terminal or not this is a human way of accepting death.

Imagine your an old 70+/ 80+ couple that are ready to go but together. You can hold your spouses hand, spend time with family, and say your final goodbyes while you are still mentally functioning. Not a burden on anyone or heart broken after losing your partner.

To me, this is a great alternative to dying alone in a cold "retirement home." I know it is not for everyone but, my partner and I have talked about as an option.

Fucking heart breaking that we are still watching this shit unfold. Playing musical chairs with bombing locations need to stop. Those directing the bombings need to be charged. Peace isn't enough anymore, the Palestinians need protection.

Harris puts housing at center of economic pitch to US voters (www.reuters.com)

U.S. home prices have risen 50% in the last five years and rents have risen 35%, according to real estate firm Zillow.

"I keep hearing about the suburban woman doesn't like Trump," he said at a campaign event in Howell, Michigan last week. "I keep the suburbs safe. I stopped low-income towers from rising right alongside of their house, and I'm keeping the illegal aliens away from the suburbs."

At an Aug. 16 campaign stop in North Carolina, Harris called for building 3 million more housing units in four years, on top of the 1 million or so built annually by the private sector, through a new tax credit for developers who build homes aimed at first-time homebuyers and a $25,000 tax credit for those buyers.

  1. Trump's remarks are reminiscent of how red lining was pushed. Same language. John Oliver did a great piece on it.

  1. Harris's plan is estimated to cost tax payers a lot long term. However, that is what investments in our future will look like.

The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, a nonpartisan watchdog group, estimates those policies would cost at least $200 billion over 10 years.

Google’s research focuses on real harm that generative AI is currently causing and could get worse in the future. Namely, that generative AI makes it very easy for anyone to flood the internet with generated text, audio, images, and videos.
