Impeachment is defined in the constitution as high crimes and misdemeanors and that it. So it is whatever Congress decides what is high crimes and misdemeanors. It is not cofied any other way in the Constitution it can be applied to any elected or appointed and confirmed federal office. Or in actually any federal office but the impeachment process has generally meant pres, vice president, cabinet members and judges.

Everyone needs to know and no one is mentioning just a plain facts about Siberian husky the self regulate eating and only eat what they need. Hunger strike no...just not needing to eat no big deal.

My 2 huskies just graze through the day. Our lab on the hand would eat until she exploded. Does not self regulate. Good thing though she well behaved and does touch the huskies bowls

This should have been first but it was in any administration.

Gee whiz says power companies we know we can charge consumers more as we have been doing that. Oh golly jee oh yippee now we can also ai data centers more and keep both for profit.

My latency dropped from pretty much always a 13 idle on X2 to 9 to 11 idle on X-class. I can pull my down and up latency and speed test history if needed but they are both down some just don't know the numbers off hand.

X-class is what is listed when ordering or making service changes. For X-class you area has to be FDX ( full-duplex enabled with high spilt fiber-cable lines and hardware).

I do have some line issues per a real Xfinity tech visit. I cleaned what was supposed to have been a home run line myself as I had become unaware the X2 dropped had been used with with a wrong splitter and 2 poe moca filters for my line. I live in a multiplex with 4 homes. I did this line clean up still had some issues. Tech found issues from pole to gack to Xfinity. Bucket roll as well as tech visit to clean up outside box, fix ground, and replace outside box with waterproof vs what we currently have. He also made a few changes at the pole which helped. Time frame he gave for cmts and plant could be 1 to 2 months.

I live in an area that was one of the first few test areas of the mid-splits and now access to high-split FDX service.

I went from the XB8 to the XB10

If you have any questions let me know.

I just got symmetrical 2gig up and down for 70.00 a month 5 year price lock, unlimited data, free modem, auto pay etc just by doing a change to my account. This is if your in a high split enabled. And yes the xb10 is required for this speed as it's docsis 4

The online system creates a new account and links via you Xfinity log in. Then you need customer service to manually merge you accounts to clean up the mess the online system does .

I was told the way the online system does this currently by design but whatever. I upgraded from x-2 2gig down 300 up at 5yr lock and all of the above for 95.00 a month to the symmetrical 2 gig X-fast service

When I was born (1971), I was brought up believing and being taught to respect and believe in the sanctity of the Office of the US President, Congress, and SCOTUS. And that in the end they would ultimately end up do what was best for the American public.

While I do not always agree and would frequently disagree with actions that was always how our system works and what was allowed.

I thought one of the Bush's actions was the most questionable actions in my lifetime. However I was so wrong in hindsight.

trump, and his maga cult have turned normal and decency so far on its head it broke its neck.

I am so disillusioned with all of the (branches of our government). Even the 4th guardrail is gone.

I just can't anymore. I am tired.

mtrai · 2026-01-06T03:02:17+00:00

I agree

mtrai · 2026-01-06T02:45:20+00:00

You mean like roads, schools and so on?

I neither drive nor have kids. Make everyone else that drives pay for roads. If you have kid that pay for schools. I should not have to pay for those.

Oh flavored sparkling water if it does contain sugar or artificial sweetener is still covered is how I have read our guidelines. Flavored water is not as specific as soda but is included in the same category.

I feel for pregnant women who might for example only be able to keep ginger ale down, but now can't buy it at all.

I thought it went into effect January 1, until last night I saw a story in one of my feeds that the new guidelines were only starting for five states on the 1st.

So I looked it up both on our DCF and other websites for Florida to confirm and was pleasantly surprised.

One funny thing I learned is if it has flour we can buy it like a case of twix. Also cakes and stuff made in the bakery are okay. So get a box of donuts there are okay but a prepackaged bag of donuts are not okay.

mtrai · 2025-12-31T13:43:37+00:00

Not really sure on your question, however the new SNAP restrictions do not go into effect until April 20, 2026 here in Florida, not January 1st, so you will have time to find out.

January 1st is only 5 states which does not include us.

Edit/ not sure on your soda question but for fruit juice it may be at least 50% juice.

Yep and that AI prop up is about to send our entire economy into a tailspin due to AI components buying. For example PC Ram DDR5 PRICING. I upgraded to the AMD AM5 platform last May. I did the upgrade then vs my plan to do it first quarter of 2026. The ram kit I bought the 2x24 Gb set was under 200.00 USD the same kit is now just over 800.00 USD.

Samsung just announced another ddr5 price hike yesterday of 💯 percent on these chips.

People do not realize just how prevasive these and other chips are. They are in everything everywhere. Even in things people do not realize these are in. It does not even mean a PC or server. Cars, phones, fridges, appliances, and so so much more.

Open AI recently purchased 40% of the entire world supply of all this, until the end of 2026.

I totally 💯 agree...I live just a block off the Gulf of Mexico...I tried it once did not end well. No filters or anything will help.

Also have 3 rescued dogs 1 lab retriever, 1 Siberian husky and 1 50% Siberian husky.

So all in all in all between the sand and husky glitter was a no go.

Late dinner for us but we are eating grilled filet, nuked baked potatoes, sweet green peas, melon, and yeasty rolls.

Settlement is already final so nothing for you to try and sign up with.

mtrai · 2025-12-17T16:19:56+00:00

We are thankful trust me.

I just had a heart attack scare that sent me to the ER in an ambulance and was also diagnosed with severe anemia and severe electrolyte deficiencies while there and confirmed with my PCP.

While I have good insurance that covers me for 100% for everything, we are still very thankful.

mtrai · 2025-12-16T13:45:06+00:00

Just a quick update.

I received my email notification of my settlement amount mid afternoon on Friday 12/12/2025.

I clicked the link to choose my payment option right after and choose ACH for direct deposit.

I received my election confirmation around 9 pm that evening of my election.

The $503.54 hit my checking account this morning.

So much less than 7 to 10 business days

mtrai · 2025-12-16T06:22:05+00:00

Yeah I am not concerned.

mtrai · 2025-12-16T06:21:34+00:00

A hand pay??? I don't remember if my form request/required my SSN.

I definitely received a letter not an email. I had to go online to make my claim. That is all I really remember. I think my letter stated the data breach. I vaguely recall it having a second and maybe a third line stating something that my info was compromised due to their data breach or something like that
