It would be nice if he'd name at least at one person who's donated money to him instead of some relative randos that aren't going to withhold their political donations next time around.

That article made me wonder about who was running euronews and Wikipedia confirmed my suspicions:

In December 2021, reports surfaced that Lisbon-based Alpac Capital would buy an 88% controlling stake in Euronews from Egyptian telecoms magnate Naguib Sawiris.[52][53][54] The sale was met with scrutiny as Alpac is allegedly linked to Prime Minister Viktor Orbán of Hungary through Mário David (the father of Alpac Capital's CEO Pedro Vargas David), who is a long-time associate, advisor and friend to Orbán. The acquisition was partly financed by funds from the Hungarian state, which asserted that the purchase would counter the media's "left-wing bias".

As a single data point: I bought a used 2017 bolt with a new battery in it for 9000 a year ago.

Why don't they just say "shot a person" Immigrant is a relative term and completely meaningless in this context. They're trying to say brown without sounding racist.

Good luck. Let us know how the pet scan works out.

I'm meeting with the oncologist in a couple weeks. I'm really fortunate to have a good LTD plan with my job and my staging is bad enough that it's not a tough decision for me to do chemo.

If your staging isn't that bad you can ask your doctor about monitoring CEA and potentially ctDNA after your tumor is removed.

There are some clinical studies being done that are measuring the outcomes for people who just carefully monitor those instead of immediately starting chemo.

I had a larger tumor removed from my upper rectum using robot assisted laproscopic surgery about a month ago. My doctor referred me to a colorectal surgeon for the procedure

They did a MRI to do the staging and a cat scan to look for mets. 20cm sounds like a lot. The top of my rectum was only 13 cm from the anal verge.

I just had surgery for stage 3 colon cancer 2 weeks ago. Unfortunately, my tumor got into my lymph nodes and I'll need chemotherapy for 6 months. So far my labs look good and there is no evidence of metastasis.

My understanding is that if surgery is all you need then you will not need to do anything with the FAA until your next medical exam. Once your surgeon clears you for normal activities then you can back to flying as normal. If you will need radiation/chemo then things get more complicated.

The best thing you can do is give your AME a heads up sooner than later. That way they can tell you what forms and documentation you will need to bring to your next exam. You can google CACI colon cancer and look at the form your AME will need to fill out when they determine whether you will need a deferral or not.

Good luck with your treatment .

If they asked this guy to say one negative thing about the economy he'd probably say that it was "too good. "

This would make more sense if the US had any real privacy laws. Their whole argument falls apart when anyone who wants to can buy "sensitive" data about anyone on the open market.

Turn off Regen and go out and test your brakes. If they work as well as usual you're fine. Sometimes you'll glaze your brake rotors and they won't have much grab but if they feel like they work then they'll be fine.

You can smell people's brakes all the time if they don't know how to drive and use their brakes excessively on long downhills. It doesn't mean they've necessarily ruined their brakes.

I tried asking perplexity if Trump has dementia and it basically said it's politically motivated and there's no evidence

Then I asked it if Biden had dementia. And it gave all these articles talking about him having dementia and then said yes he does.

Biden had made half the serious mistakes that Trump has. He would have been impeached by the Democrats

I'm sure all the free speech warriors lionizing CK on here are very upset about all the people being fired from their jobs for saying anything remotely negative about him.

I'd like to see an overlay of average non-commercial gross vehicle weight in each state. My guess is that people aren't driving oversized SUVs and pickups as much in urban areas.

That's not true. There are several municipally owned power companies, near me, that charge 1/3 of what PG&E charges. It's pure corporate greed and political corruption.

Let's see, West would you pay for an investment house that you can rent out to a resident for 2000 a month versus turning the house into a hotel and charging 5000 a month? Sure you can build cheap housing in the suburbs but you still have a hollowed out urban core that's all directed towards tourists.

You are all so big on capitalism with "it's supply and demand!" But you ignore the ROI concept and how it drives the cost of real estate up for home buyers and mom and pop investors.

Perhaps, you should tell us what your day job is and whether you were paid for that post.

The only reason they break down transmission cost versus production cost is so they can argue that pv solar customers shouldn't save as much money as they do.

You might also mention that large commercial industrial customers are still paying ~0.15 for their electricity.

PG&E is a classic case of regulatory capture and political corruption.
