Firefox and hardened forks, possibly Cromite. All you can do is harden your defenses as much as possible and try not to go "oooooo shiny" when looking at extensions.

No. It will also include anyone who had even a slight relationship to Obama, as she did.

So far, just lots of unemployed people.

I heard no heckling, just traffic and one horn that could have been either support or heckling.

I think their not usually wrong expectation was the students would decide it was too much trouble to do it. Good on them that they are more driven than many.

I can't conclude anything from this. No specifics on the discrimination, and nothing but innuendo on tje firing itself. I get the feeling the implication is she was fired because of her opposition to this adult mode, but there is no proof on either conclusion.

That was an amazing movie. Rowdy Roddy piper wasn't horrible, either. That was made in response to the Reagan era politics, which was the start of what continues to this day.

How did declaring an emergency (per the Stafford Act) make it his responsibility to fix it? Last I checked, in a federal system it is the local authorities who are responsible for doing the work. The feds supply public funding and potentially manpower if FEMA gets involved.

The local authorities in fact caused the problem by trying to cheap-out on water treatment. Replacing huge quantities of buried pipes is not a short-term operation, even if they put all their attention on it. In fact, it was the city that had to be sued multiple times to get the job mostly done:

Well, we've had to go back to court now six times and constantly been tracking to see if the city was actually following through on this settlement agreement. Finally, the court actually held the city in contempt and the state took over most of the finishing up of this project.

So, what actions did he take to show he "didn't give a fuck?" Maybe you're referring to this drink of water someone put him on the spot to drink?

"This used a filter," Obama said of the water. "The water around this table was Flint water and it just confirms what we know scientifically, which is, if you're using a filter, if you're installing it, then Flint water at this point is drinkable."

Properly filtered water was safe, exactly as he said. It is the responsibility of the local governments to ensure they're available to their residents - with federal help per emergency funding.

Here's a full breakdown.

The matter of blame appeared to be settled conclusively in March 2016, however, when Snyder’s nonpartisan task force released its blistering final report. Primary responsibility for the crisis in Flint was placed on the state, and particularly on the MDEQ, and task force members called for a thorough review of the emergency manager system. The report also characterized the crisis as a clear-cut example of environmental injustice, as evidenced by the fact that Flint’s poor, largely African American population “did not enjoy the same degree of protection from environmental and health hazards as that provided to other communities.”

Now, I am fairly sure you will completely discount any evidence of the reality I posted here. Truthfully, I mostly did this to inform anybody else who stumbles upon this so they can verify it for themselves.

I’ve been waiting for this for a year.

So... you either didn't read the linked article, or you decided it was a lie because it differed from your "gut feelings"... or maybe you just didn't understand what it was saying?

While the talking heads feign excitement over the "unexpected 130,000" new (healthcare) jobs last month, the reality quietly deepens.

He's well programmed.

Wait...what? You took my statement as a support of dictatorship?? Wow. Take a look at my comment history.

Rule of law is the foundation of a functioning democracy, and it is the dictators who selectively enforce laws on their foes while letting their allies off the hook.

You know, like when all the Jan 6 insurrectionists were pardoned while all his political enemies are being indicted on the flimsiest of charges?

Unfortunately, they've been so successful, we won't be able to get our kids to read this report.

 

The most affluent consumers account for a bigger share of total US spending, reinforcing the lopsided dynamic of unbothered consumption for the wealthy and more cautious shopping for everyone else.

 

I want to install Graphene on my Pixel 6. It is rooted and i use NeoBackup for app state, wifi, call logs, etc.

I do not want to startvfrom scratch and rebuild everything. Is it possible to port most of my data?
