The investor fact sheet sourced for that line is over a decade old.

I can't say for sure how things have changed since then that could cause bankruptcy though... maybe people are preferring more products labled "natural" and "organic"?

I favor Stop ICE which is a website, not an app. They specifically address why:

The Stop ICE Alerts Network is designed to work with technology already built into your smart phone, mobile device, tablet or computer.

Apps on your smartphone can be used by service providers and 3rd parties to access details related to your phone's activity across multiple datapoints. This can potentially open up unwanted vectors for user tracking compromising your privacy while also sharing that information without your knowledge.

It's why they're all obsessed about going to space.

 

"We also have a lot of bad people that have been here for a long time," he said. "Some of them were born in our country. I think we ought to get them the hell out of here too, if you want to know the truth. So maybe that'll be the next job."

I don't advocate the use of death threats - just ask any journalist whether they enjoy receiving those from MAGA cultists.

But sometimes, bad things happen to bad people, and the schadenfreude tastes so sweet.

I hope they are also using non-Amazon-owned channels to organize, keep in contact with coworkers, and store copies/screenshots of messages and emails. When you organize, assume you are in an adversarial relationship with your employer... because you are.

Microsoft is prepared to abandon its high-stakes negotiations with OpenAI over the future of its alliance, the Financial Times reported on Wednesday.

Minnesota state senator John Hoffman and his wife were shot at their home in Champlin and Minnesota state representative Melissa Hortman and her husband in Brooklyn Park were reportedly shot by a gunman impersonating a police officer.

 

This is probably one of my favorite games that is completely open source. It's a collection of fan-made first-person stealth missions and campaigns that take heavy inspiration from the classic Thief games. The name comes from its origins as a mod for Doom 3, but it's been released as a standalone game for quite some time now.

If you enjoy the old Thief games, give this a shot!

Found my old grade school calculator while going through some drawers. It's not programmable or retro (yet) or valuable, but it served me well for many, many years.

Pretty sure I learned the pattern for incrementing binary numbers on this thing while I was sitting bored in study hall before I even knew what binary was.
