Whatever they may have gotten passed in the Senate, calling it a win before it's made it through the House is premature.

Apparently it was just Gmail:

Reuters was ​not able to ⁠independently authenticate the Patel emails, but the personal Gmail address that Handala claims to have broken into ​matches the address linked to Patel in previous ​data breaches ⁠preserved by the dark web intelligence firm District 4 Labs. Alphabet-owned Google, which runs Gmail, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

It was with prejudice:

Boyle wrote in her order ⁠that "the ​very nature of the alleged conspiracy ​does not state an antitrust claim, and the court therefore has no qualm dismissing ​with prejudice."

I've claims they use eMMC, which is flash memory. Closer to SD card grade than SSD, but SD card prices are up too.

An opmist would say that it is $70 game and they are adding a $10 discount for buying it digitally. A pessimist would say that it is a $60 game and there is a $10 fee for the plastic cartridge.

With the price of flash memory going up, they're definitely charging a fee for the cartridge.

Why would they sabotage viewership for season 2 instead of canceling it outright? Or at a minimum just dump the rest of it now?

They can't dump season 2 right now because it only finished filming a month ago and there's a lot to be done after that.

The authors of the article don't seem to be the media though:

Steve Hanke is a professor of applied economics at The Johns Hopkins University and a member of the Board of Directors at the Federal Fiscal Sustainability Foundation. He is the co-editor, with Barry W. Poulson and John Merrifield, of Public Debt Sustainability: International Perspectives (Lexington Books, 2022). David M. Walker is the former Comptroller General of the United States and the Chairman of the Board of Directors at the Federal Fiscal Sustainability Foundation.

Just try to get through the whole pilot. The first stretch isn't representative of the show.

I suppose something like cancer would have a long recovery without technically being an "injury".

I think she always wears the boots when she's in uniform.

 

Just the three big revenue streams that Houston cancelled — $272.4 million for HST (that benefits those with the money to allow them to be big spenders), $160 million for income tax bracket changes, $40 million for bridge tolls (that primarily benefit people in HRM but have to be made up for by everyone in the province) — add up to $472.4 million.

The cuts save the provincial government just $304.9 million.

With the tolls now gone, the province is budgeting $120.1 million for Halifax Harbour Bridges.

No matter how you slice and dice it all, the fact is that Houston-the-professional-accountant seems to have badly messed up the province’s accounts.

 

While mired in controversy from all sides, the Walt Disney Company has unveiled price hikes for Disney+ and its other streaming services today.

There was a time when sneering at international law would not have been a good look for someone aspiring to be Prime Minister of Canada.

But, charting new territory, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre contemptuously called Justin Trudeau “woke” for indicating Canada would abide by a ruling of the International Criminal Court (ICC) — a court that Canada helped establish to punish war criminals.

Poilievre specifically rejects the legitimacy of the ICC charges against Netanyahu, on the specious grounds that Netanyahu was democratically elected.
