October 14, 2024 (Monday) As the two presidential campaigns position themselves for the final sprint to the election on November 5, the difference between them is dramatic. Trump is hunkering down behind what has always appeared to be a plan not to attract voters but instead to create chaos on Election Day. Creating confusion around the election could enable his loyalists to put in...

I think you got that the wrong way around. On palm Sunday, Buxus sempervivens is used. The ashes on Ash Wednesday is Buxus. The reason would be that most of Central Europe didn’t have palms available during most of the time, so liturgically you would be in a tight spot to use palm leaves. No such problems in the Middle East, and of course...

This is part of the formula that has worked so well for Trump; he knows a good sales technique, accuracy be damned. It’s not just a salesman’s phrase, it’s a grifter’s phrase. It’s straight out of the entrance to a carnival tent. Mainstream outlets seem incapable of pointing out that he is, and always has been, a confidence artist.

Nexus 7: Michele71: I had one Still have mine, with Lineage OS it’s still going strong…ish. It’s quite battered, now 11 YO, and used 99% for light browsing, YT and the occasional movie/anime playback - good enough for my plane trips. The micro USB port has become very fastidious, it only likes about 30% of my cables.
