True, it was outside the statute of limitations so it was a civil case, not a criminal one.
Making Trump an “adjudicated rapist”, as opposed to a “convicted rapist”.
A judge called him, correctly, a rapist.
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/aug/07/donald-trump-rape-language-e-jean-carroll
“As the court explained in its recent decision denying Mr Trump’s motion for a new trial on damages and other relief [in the New York case] … based on all of the evidence at trial and the jury’s verdict as a whole, the jury’s finding that Mr Trump ‘sexually abused’ Ms Carroll implicitly determined that he forcibly penetrated her digitally – in other words, that Mr Trump in fact did ‘rape’ Ms Carroll as that term commonly is used and understood in contexts outside of the New York penal law.”


True story:
Dead Wednesday. I was working the front by myself.
“I don’t know why I’m here, you can’t help me.”
“Well, I know a lot, and I have a computer for our inventory and one for our distributor, if you can remember 1 or 2 words, we have a good shot.”
“Yeah, but I don’t know the author, you can’t help me.”
We went round and round like that for 10 minutes, finally dragged it out of him and found it in the distributor system:
“How to Have Confidence and Power in Dealing with People”.
“Ordinarily it would take a couple of days to get this, let me expedite that for you, it will be here tomorrow.”
He never picked it up. 😟


Some of you are going to prison again regardless…


“It’s that book with the picture of the woman on the front.”
“The Stories of Eva Luna by Isabel Allende?”
“Yeah…”
Co-worker: “How did you do that?”
“Every time I walked by it I thought ‘oh, hey, it’s that book with the picture of the woman on the front’.”


Not while he’s President.

One year, right around Black Friday, I was working registers and we had a line of people out the door… we were all just trying to get people rung up as quickly as possible.
I’m in the middle of helping someone when this woman jumps the line, interrupts me while I helping another customer, and goes “Excuse me, I just have a question?”
So I turn to my first customer, “Do you mind? She just has a question?”
Ok, fine, what’s the question?
“Where are your etiquette books?”
ಠ_ಠ
“They… they’re on the reference wall. Right hand side, about 1/2 way down.”
That night, cleaning up the store, I found a pile of 20 etiquette books just sitting on the floor.


30+ years ago, man I could tell you stories… 😉


I knew it was wrong the instant it popped up on the White House site…
https://ag.purdue.edu/cfdas/chew-on-this/the-expected-cost-of-your-thanksgiving-turkey-in-2025/
"Wholesale turkey prices have surged 75% since October 2024, reaching $1.71 per pound in October 20251. This comes after prices dipped substantially from 2023 to 2024. This year, we are seeing the continued impacts of the ongoing battle with highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) that first appeared in February 2022. "


There seems to be some confusion, and rightly so.
This is “Farmer’s Almanac” which, yeah, started in 1818 and is 207 years old.
But “The Old Farmer’s Almanac” started in 1792 and is generally ‘the one’ you think of when you hear ‘Farmer’s Almanac’. That one is still running:

Interesting history here:

Edit Used to sell both and man people would get PISSED if they asked for “the farmers almanac” and you grabbed the wrong one!


I bought chicken salad, ate some, and realized that there was no chicken in it and returned it.
“Your chicken salad is just ‘salad’.”
They apologized and refunded it.
Like an angel straight from heaven…


Ubiquiti looks more for a commercial setup, which is cool, but it also looks like power over ethernet which isn’t an option for me in multiple camera locations. 😟 Whoof! You are right on pricing though! And getting a solar connection looks to be a bit of a kludge.


For me, she lost all credibility when she refused to impeach Bush for war crimes. Seriously, Abu Ghraib? The torture memos? Nothing?
If we had gone hard on Bush, Trump never would have run.

Fire version of “you can’t step in the same river twice.”
Now we just need air and earth versions. 😉
You can’t take the same breath twice?
You can’t dig the same hole twice?
