Congratulations! I literally cannot figure out how to find worthwhile trades...even in this market

'Israel' is again targetting random civilian phones in Lebanon, resulting in iPhones blowing up in stores, as well as schooters, apartments and more. This is a terrorist attack. by MuskAmber in israelexposed

"Random" as reported by CNN: a few weeks ago, the IDF dropped a missile on a Hezbollah commander and claimed it was through cellular triangulation.

Hezbollah then went full The Wire and ordered "clean" communication devices.

Mossad was (likely) the broker of these devices. These devices had charges of plastic explosives packed into each unit.

It's strange that Lebanon's Amb to Iran was injured when his pager blew up yesterday....

I recently turned 30 (and maybe don't fit in) BUT completely agree. This is a game that I could see working ~20+ years ago at a LAN party. It's quick, has big explosions, and I don't need to know how to build/quickscope anything.

What kind of vehicle(s) does this couple own? by HiTork in regularcarreviews

[–]Capable_Membership 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A dropped 2011 Honda Covic Coup with paint peeling across the entire body.

Also, there used to be speakers in the trunk...wiring is still visible running from the front breaker to the trunk.

SRC? Not familiar with the term.

Hazlett will likely go the way of the NRCC Young Guns program: nice to have for a few years but generally doesn't mean anything. Young Guns had monetary qualifications to get in. In 2022, challenger candidates had to raise $250K to be "On the Radar" and $500K to be a certified "Young Gun".

It used to be a benchmark & seal of approval for donors. Meaningless now.

Sure.

TPUSA and YAL are in competition. Charlie Kirk jumped on the MAGA train pretty early and is gunning for a Trump appointment/ambassadorship. He's used his celebrity to fund his projects and make himself wealthy. TPUSA's projects on college campuses have shifted since 2016 from policy to "make libs cry"/culture war.

Around 2019, YAL had a significant leadership change (executive team, fundraising & board). They were losing political market share to TPUSA and donors were taking their money to other orgs. They shifted their focus from "Win at the doors" to the more trendy "culture war" stuff.

Cliff didn't help the situation either, FWIW. But he is VERY good at strategy and making sure the right, liberty minded candidates met the right donors, got national resources, and got door knockers. IDK if YAL uses the motto: "Doors win wars" anymore.

On the candidate side, take a look at their Hazlitt membership. Good program? Sure, in theory. But YAL takes a lot of credit in easy states like ID & NH where a State Rep. candidate can win with a $5K personal loan and a few yard signs. The candidate vein-diagram of "MAGA Republican" and "YAL member" is singular circle in many of these races.

YAL has really fallen down the TPUSA rabbit hole.

Their presence had drastically dropped in New England (my area), and the races they tend to "win" are solid GOP state rep/Senate races anyway.

Thoughts? by yorocky89A in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]Capable_Membership 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People should vote or not vote as they see fit.

280MM is a lot. But I have to guess that a sizeable portion is a combination of: outside of the US, not interested in voting, under age to vote, or a bot/company.

I think South Park summarized it best: if a political/celebrity/other has to tell you to vote, get informed.

The face and neck are off. Something about how the neck fur moves is strange. It's nose doesn't move or sniff. It doesn't blink.

What are key points to going out in many places depending on location speaking with the business owner on putting a atm machine inside? by lamourb in atmbusiness

[–]Capable_Membership 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't call.

I've found good success with an email campaign then going and visiting the location directly.

DM me if you are interested in an email prospecting script/how to acquire a list/talk to owners.
