Americans are just as horrified as you are, this isn’t normal, lol.

Reuters is owned/ran by a Canadian billionaire family.

The Thomson family controlled the Thomson Corporation through a family-owned entity, the Woodbridge Company, based in Toronto. (Along with 70% of Thomson Corporation, Woodbridge also owns a 40% stake in CTVglobemedia, which now owns the Globe and Mail daily newspaper in Toronto and CTV, Canada’s largest commercial TV network.) David K.R. Thomson and his brother, Peter Thomson, became co-chairmen of Woodbridge after their father’s death.[12]

True, but Blender is free as in awesome, free and freedom. They’re making movies with it.

Also, DaVinci is old school in that the free version is pretty good for beginners. I bought the lifetime version for a one time fee. For now, it’s better than premiere pro.

The great free software that works on windows and I have personally tried (some are only free for personal use, but others are completely free):

An obvious solution against bad debt is non-payment insurance or trade credit insurance: if your customer fails to pay you, your insurer compensates your company in the event of a non-payment.

But it’s hard to take that argument seriously after everything guys like Altman have been saying. It didn’t even start as late as 2022, either. Back in 2015, Altman said, “I think that AI will probably, most likely, sort of lead to the end of the world. But in the meantime, there will be great companies created with serious machine learning.”

I think OP meant insurance for non-payment.

And the cheating, there is so much cheating.

You could see this coming in their roll out of the info on him.

• First they talk about non-provable shit that he’s a drinker, or fired the pilot for the coast guard because of a blanket, etc.
• We are here: Then they start about maybe, possibly, firing them. It’s in the air.
• Person is fired and left taking the blame for everything.

Uh oh, another teleporter.

Well this is kind of scary, hitler had better taste:

A scandal isn’t jail time though. Formerly known as prince andrew lost a couple houses and a title, but he’s still free too.

Trump is the worst president in American history.

“Yeah people with no power, how did you let them be that way?”

So, trump started a war and worldwide economic disaster and now he’s going to take credit as stopping a war, and then when prices come down a wee bit, take credit for that too, isn’t he?

You could do both if you travel cheaply. Exploring keeps you healthy, consider it medicine that you need.

The new waterfront park is awesome too. You got Pike Place being hooked up to it via ramps and a giant aquarium (that leaks only a little). Pier 62 has all kinds of free events with crazy views.

1% chance of being enacted

Not incited by a US president though.

The Catholic Church can sell a painting to keep that open.

Right? I see no downsides to this.
