Teddy Roosevelt was shot point blank in the chest at a campaign stop. The bullet penetrated his chest after passing through a steal eyeglass case and his 50 page speech. Teddy noted he wasn’t coughing blood and knew he would survive. He calmed the lynch mod down that were going to murder the assassin and then did his speech.

He lost the election despite being a total badass.

Later, Teddy reluctantly ran as VP with McKinley who won the election and was quickly assassinated. Teddy became president and won a second term.

Anyway, attempted assassination isn’t the boost people think it is - even for awesome badasses like Teddy Roosevelt.

Polar vortex is broken along with jet stream.

Side note: This is an example of why we should call it climate change instead of only global warming. Nitwits can’t understand global warming involves massive fluctuations of temperatures worldwide.

He got 64 percent of the vote in the primary. He's running against two other republicans. The do-nothing incompetent sheriff is still likely to win.

I’m a paying subscriber. Also I sometimes run across a gift link already shared by someone else. I’ll cut and paste that link to continue spreading a good article.

I have big boulders for inflicting car damage if someone goes off the driveway.

Otherwise I don't care if someone turns around in my driveway.

Now that they won - the effort to collect what they won can start…!

TL;DR is record keeping very very terrible. Project speed was so bad pledged money was not donated when milestones were missed. Some money was returned and the rest vanished.

I know we didn’t just leave twitter but $8 seems like a more symbolic slap in the face of an evil CEO... 😆

Apple introduced iCloud Keychain / Passkey early 2021 at WWDC21. At the time Apple was working with FIDO Alliance to make Passkeys an official thing.

Article literally says it’s a software update that needs to be applied to the transmission computer.

Also if you’ve already signed into the app it stays.

He better not touch Apple Music!!

Wow it’s “693 square feet in size” and they need to launch another 168. Also it is already ruining some astronomical studies because of streaking… but hey I need to TikTok while I’m hiking in the middle of Yellowstone so whatever! 😅

Anytime you hit the paywall - take a look at their offers. 95% of the time they are garbage offers. But sometimes they are desperate to get subscribers and you can get a year for $2/month. Cancel the renewal and repeat. 😎

Slashdot is still around and hasn’t changed almost at all. Can enjoy it just like before!

Meh. Been using Safari since 2012 and it’s fine.
