With COVID-19 “stay at home” advisories in effect across the globe, an unlikely technology has come to the aid of public safety agencies responsible for enforcement measures: drones. Government officials everywhere have asked citizens to

The overused understatement of the decade is, “This is an unprecedented time.” While the coronavirus outbreak has turned our lives into something none of us likely ever imagined, one fundamental life safety truth remains: THERE IS NO

  COVID-19 is having an immediate and drastic impact on the construction industry with job sites being abandoned and workers being furloughed. A byproduct of these unprecedented pandemic-related changes has been the demobilization of

If there has been a constant concern throughout the coronavirus, it has been the issue of infection control. While the medical community works tirelessly to save lives and straighten the COVID-19 curve, first responders play an equally vital role on the

Late last month, CBS News in New York reported that 911 dispatchers in that beleaguered hub have received, on several occasions, more emergency calls than they took on September 11, 2001. Call volume in the most populated city in the US typically ranges

Carers should spend at least 30 minutes on home visits to older people as part of a new gold standard for services, according to new guidance.

It’s not unusual for the mother of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to be in the news. Margaret Sinclair Trudeau is a celebrity in her own right – author, speaker, and mental-health advocate.   But Ms. Trudeau, 71, made headlines

В отличие от большинства других финалок, фф5 активно пытается быть комедией. Локализация Advance-версии в этом начинании ей подыгрывает.

Итак, наши герои телепортировались за Галуфом в его мир. И тут же оказались на необитаемом острове, где быстро сдохли от голода и скуки.

Итак, миры объединились, герои пошли бухать в родной Тайкун, но потом все, кроме Ленны, сбежали с вечеринки и попёрлись к мудрой черепахе за сюжетом.

Всю Final Fantasy III легко разделить на две части. Первая - это череда рандомной хуйни, куски которой друг с другом особо не вяжутся. Вторая - это основная сюжетка про злого Занде, чьё имя в первой половине почти не упоминается.

Ещё у фф3 есть две радикально разные версии. В оригинале с NES четверо героев были настолько безликими, что их имена не выводились даже рядом с их репликами. DS-ремейк (который был потом везде портирован) дал им разные дизайны и бэкграунды, но по факту ничего не изменил - герои по-прежнему максимально безликие болванчики. Какой-то намёк на индивидуальность есть только в самом начале, когда партию надо собирать (тут же главное отличие от оригинала в сценарии).

Итак, в прошлый раз мы вернули себе эиршип, самое время полетать по миру и поиссле--

Mail-in voting, as it currently exists, is likely to guarantee Trump's victory in the 2020 election. However, new Democratic mail-in voting proposals can be improved so the will of the people can be fully realized at the ballot box.

The post The Coronavirus is Voting for Donald Trump<div id='sec-title'>Voting by mail is no cure; we're heading for a "pretend election"</div> appeared first on Greg Palast.

I suppose I really don't. It's a horrible situation and even the supposed "good guys" at the federal level, who don't run things entirely but who aren't entirely powerless, have shown no signs of having any sense of the catastrophe that is unfolding. "No one" panics unless stonks are tanking, and the Fed is making sure that doesn't happen.

As long as "the market" is happy, rich people are happy, "everybody" is happy.

The House of Representatives.

I don't have the entirety of The Discourse jacked into my head, but I see very little acknowledgement from the people in power, or even people with big microphones, that this is an unfolding disaster that can't be remedied with the equivalent of a few band aids. Things are fucked - short term, long term, structurally - and they can't easily be unfucked. Fixing the Great Recession was easy and "they" failed at that. Fixing this one is hard and even with unimaginable unemployment numbers coming in there doesn't seem to be much urgency.

It's been 8 weeks since Mitch McConnell took his 3 day weekend and Democrats pretended to be mad about that. Pelosi won't let the House do anything except vote for bills she hands them 5 minutes before, and we have evidence from minute one that Pelosi and her people are bad and incompetent about what needs to be done.

Just a reminder:

As Congress considers the next steps, the Speaker believes we should look at refundable tax credits, expanded UI & direct payments—but MUST be targeted.
