I've only visited either state and Michigan had a HELLUVA lot more going for it. It's not even remotely close.

And I Hate U of M. (I mean I hate the Buckeyes too, who calls themselves "THE" Ohio State? No on else wants to call themselves that shit.)

That is a separate issue. The Age verification law is for viewers. PornHub doesn't want to store, or be responsible for, your Driver's License info.

I happen to side with PornHub on this one. It's a privacy issue, and the age verification is just an initial step in the direction of censorship.

Now verifying identity/ages of the performers, supporting the fight against sex trafficking and the predation of minors, that is worth putting restrictions on PornHub.

Article says Jill pulls $85k. So the rest is probably investments, which is pretty damn modest, considering their age.

"..., and then saw his knob gobbling support Israel during this conflict."

I'm not sure what you mean here. He has been opposing support of Israel for quite some time now.

I'm not sure if anybody DIDN'T support Israel immediately following Hamas' terror attack, but Israel's conduct quickly changed some hearts and minds.

I don't know what his stance was at the beginning of the conflict, but I'm not going to fault him him if he was supporting the victim of a terror attack.

But he has been calling for the U.S. to stop funding Israel's war for some time now.

Here in Texas, we can vote all blue AND Allred, at the same time.

They are seriously trying to blame WSB for this?. LMAO, Fuck Spez.

A rate charge increase targeting solar customers is fucking horseshit.

Should they pay for infrastructure? Absolutely, but the same flat rate that all customers pay, that are tied in.

That the rate scale was passed without any real review by the elected officials is fucking egregious. Can't even do their fucking jobs.

I used to fly out here when practicing low-level desert flight (helicopters, I was an aircremwan).

We would land right next to the lake but not overfly it. At night, it was like a perfect mirror.

But man did it smell, it was eerie af, and the dust sometimes made all your gear stink for days.

I seem to recall an orange? grove that grew next to where we would land. I always wondered if it's proximity to the Salton Sea affected their taste.

It continually got worse and worse, and this was back in 2003-2012, while I was out there.

Edit: One of my favorite photos, of a sign, where we would land.

Yes, those are bullet holes, no not from us.

We will absolutely have automation but the workers will just be fired and all profits will be absorbed by the stockholder.

No cost savings will be passed on the other consumer either.

This sounds wildly implausible, or at least very exaggerated.

I've worked on jets. If you put them in pieces, you are talking months (at least 3-6), to put them back together. Modern jets aren't Legos. They are very complex machines that require testing and fine tuning.

Most flight surface controls and engines parts have flight hour limits that are painstakingly logged so preventative maintenance maximizes service lifetime. When we transferred jets, we also delivered their maintenance history.

When we mothball aircraft, we only remove certain components and basically seal it up. To take it out of mothball and reassemble it, under normal circumstances, you are talking 8 months.

Maybe they surreptitiously transferred aircraft to Ukraine, I can believe that. But if they broke them down into individual parts and said, "Here you go!", the proper response would be, "Go fuck yourself."

I imagine this story started out one way and has just been embellished each telling.
