A contractor I know says if you're over 50 you should avoid living in a home that separates the bedrooms from the main living area with stairs. He says stairs are fine if you in your 30s but they're not in your favor after 50.

It's gone. The giant, glowing 'X' that briefly sat atop Twitter HQ has been taken down, according to Reuters.
Apparently, after dozens of complaints from his corporate neighbors Elon had to remove the giant glowing monstrosity

Alabama is one of the few states I have never visited. Maybe it’s lovely and just has a PR problem. But, putting Space Command there never made any sense to me as a layperson. And the AL Governor sputtering about leaving it in Colorado is a threat to national security made me laugh and spit my coffee.
@WeThePeople There is exploration into uranium from BF, as with oil added to vanadium, titanium or iron or kimberlite. They're telling the Euros they will not be able to loot their strategic minerals anymore.

@allin I hope it was very painful for that company.
@ToruOkada He takes other people's work and starts yapping about it. He doesn't even know what he's doing.

@greenshrink No way am I doing Google fi. I like some separation between services run by evil corporations if I can get it.
@T_Zen_Warp As an Air Force veteran, I was shocked to read about "Air Force Day"! A national holiday.
I researched it and discovered it was a one time national holiday to thank the US Army for building the Air Force. This was as the new Department and secretariat of the AF took over.
When I went in, many people continued to ask if we were in the Women's Air Corp, or "WACs". They didn't understand that we were the real Air Force and could do just about any job possible.

I really do dislike the divide our society now has. Just had to block/unfriend 3 friends on FB because of their views. I dislike what Trump did to our society. Up is down. Left is right. Down is up. Right is left. You disagree for anything and you are like the black plague.
But it's okay to say NO and ENOUGH. And I just had to do that. And I do not regret it. It's okay to disagree, but don't be a complete jerk about it.

@mikeharmanos IT looks like a time for slyly blocking the "help" Russia is getting from other nations. That is part of this war, too.

Russia is Preparing For A Long War
Good rundown of domestic political moves within Russia and how they play out in continuing the war.
You can build and sell virtually anything to the Russian government.
In political terms, “eternal war” is increasingly becoming a cornerstone of the Kremlin’s narrative. Putin has no other vision to offer.
THIS is why we kept fighting privatization of military functions a long time ago! Some functions are STUPID choices for non military "contractors" to perform.
How many more disasters will have to happen before we demand those contracts end, and the military take back its critical, PRP work?

Tuberville may cause a practice that I've always hated, the Senatorial "hold," to be rethought or, hopefully, removed altogether.
@radar323 It is based on just a RULE that could be changed to stop this madness, but REpublicans won't vote for a rule change.
So we must bash the REST of them, constantly and daily until they fix this.
