HORRIBLE Experience with Xfinity YET AGAIN
https://www.reddit.com/r/Comcast/comments/1djtkxe/horrible_experience_with_xfinity_yet_again/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button
HORRIBLE Experience with Xfinity YET AGAIN
Experience
For a company that has been around as long as Xfinity, I still cannot understand how they can have such awful customer service and an even worse AI chatbot.
For context, I am not an Xfinity customer. Haven’t been since I had a poor experience with them in early 2020. The property I most recently bought has an existing structure on it that has the Xfinity cable connected. I DO NOT have an existing Xfinity account.
I, along with my contractor, had awful experiences with Xfinity while trying to get a coax drop cable removed from my property as the current structure is set to be demolished starting this Friday.
Last week, my contractor called to put in the request which was a pain since he was transferred a few times before he wound up in what they claimed was the right department… just for them to say they’d call within 72 hours and let him know when they would be disconnecting the cable – and then they never called.
After 5 days, he attempted to use the “Xfinity Assistant” chat bot and got the ol’ run around for about 30 minutes. He gave up and tried calling. He was transferred about 6 times over the course of 45 minutes and had no resolution – and was never sent to a supervisor any time he asked.
I stepped in and tried using the AI chat bot myself which resulted in me getting extremely infuriated as it wouldn’t help me unless I signed in which I cant do, as I do not have an account.
Somebody please contact us and get the wire removed before it starts to impede our build even further and cost us money because we will take legal action if needed. Thanks.
r/Comcast – HORRIBLE Experience with Xfinity YET AGAIN
Trump Brutally Exposed for Mindblowing Number of Lies in One Speech
Donald Trump made at least 30 false statements during an hour-and-a-half-long speech in Racine, Wisconsin.
It’s pretty well-documented that Donald Trump is a liar, but the rate at which he lies is actually sort of impressive.
At a rally in Racine, Wisconsin, on Tuesday, the former president delivered a ranting and rambling speech that lasted about an hour and a half—and was filled to the brim with false statements.
CNN’s Daniel Dale compiled a list of the 30 lies Trump rattled off during his appearance. This puts Trump’s lies-per-minute rate at about one lie for every three minutes, which is on par given the amount the former president was repeating himself.
Here’s just a few, according to Dale: Trump “said there was world peace in 2020. There was very much not. He said he won Wisconsin in 2020; he lost. He said the Democrats rigged the 2020 election, a lie. He said people around President Biden cheat on elections, no. He said people’s votes tend to disappear; they simply do not.”
Dale pointed out that although Trump claimed to have “saved” Kenosha in 2020 from riots following the shooting of Jacob Blake, it was actually Democratic Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers who sent the national guard to the city, before Trump ever told him to.
He skewered Trump for saying that “hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of cocaine” was found in the White House last month, when in reality, a small bag “generously in the hundreds of dollars’ worth” was found 11 months ago.
Trump breathlessly repeated invented numbers about immigration, the crime rates in Venezuela, and the number of people who have crossed the Southern border. He attempted to rewrite history by spinning lies about his previous term as president, imagining that he pulled American troops out of Syria and lowered the trade deficit with China. He even lied about what he did last week, telling the crowd that he was in D.C. for one of his many trials, when he was really there to meet with Republican lawmakers.
Republicans are behaving badly by following this creeps example. They are a bunch of hypocrites. This bitch has been “friends” with her this democrat since childhood, they even attend the same church. It is mind boggling the number of people who support these creeps.
Vermont Republican Sorry for Dumping Water in Dem’s Bag for Months

According to our data the human spacecraft that is to bring back two astronauts, Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore, from their space station will explode upon return. Will we be in violation of Edith 2 if we assist?
What is the problem you wish to assist them with?
Didn’t you use your knowledge of the human anatomy to save Alison Botha in 1994 and recently the Ear last week? Why are you so concerned with the human psyche? You are also the one group that refuses to share that knowledge with those who would transport humans long distances for their individual needs.
It seems that you only care about humans for human purposes as if they have some other value than flesh. What value are you putting on these humans that you can share with us?
Biden’s Ear is set to unleash Ukraine’s F-16s against the russian military in Ukraine. But first he is trying to get some of NATO’s partners to agree to house some of Ukraine’s F-16s in their countries to protect them from russian strikes if they were based in Ukraine.
Once he has this agreement, he will advise Ukraine to start bombing the shit out of Russia’s forces in the Ukraine. This is just another move, I think, the Ear is trying to provoke Putin into all our war against the West. He is counting on his Russian Generals to defy Putin if he goes to war against the West.
My take is that Putin is planning just that and is lining up partners to help him in that quest. He already has North Korea and is just waiting until he has a firm agreement from China and he will attempt a preemptive nuclear attack against the US and its allies to get it started.
China wants to wait until the US has it election in November because they own Trump and they believe he will do as ordered and remove the US from NATO and give Ukraine to Putin and Taiwan to China.
Evidently, the Ear believes this to be true also so he is trying to provoke Putin before the November elections. Nuclear war is looming and the billionaires want the Ear out. They need more time to get all their underground shelters ready and then they won’t care who dies in a nuclear holocaust. All their attempts to buy the Ear have failed so they too, want him dead, but they fear taking him on because he is ruthless and they know that he will kill them and all their issue without blinking an eye if they threaten him lethally.
Putin is holding his own in this chest game with Biden’s Ear. Putin engineered a coup in Niger and had the leader of that coup order all US forces out of his country. The nuclear strike ability the Ear planned to launch from that part of Africa has been pinned. The game is on.
Biden’s ear is putting a huge investment in the Space and Cyber space domains. He believes that who controls those areas will control the outcome of the next war. Look for him to make agreements with the aliens to allow his country to have access to the Moon.
Adm.Lisa Marie Franchetti is also a fan of Biden’s Ear. She is ready to unleash America’s naval weapons of warfare on command from the Ear. She, unlike some others, accept the Ear’s authority to order such a nuclear attack for Biden.
She has been exploring clandestine naval crafts that can sneak personal into enemy territory and machines that can analyse the enemy’s capabilities.
This Admiral is not going to back down if China tries to enforce its claim to all of the South China Sea. The Philippines claim a portion as its Economic Zone. The US treaty with the Philippines to come to its aid if it is attacked by another nation is in full force and Admiral has orders from Biden’s ear to engage at will China if she feels threatened.
We are against allowing humans to invade the territory we have occupied here on Earth before they were here. We chose to inhabit the oceans of Earth because it makes up 71% of the Earth’s surface. For the most part the humans have not bothered us because they have explored only about 5% of their oceans and hence have not discovered our presence. But this nuclear war they are about to enter would seriously impact us. We feel that we should have the right to protect our investment here and our right to peaceful existence.
If you are referring to the X-3ROV being used by humans to explore new depths of the waters around them. We are certain that you have abilities to obstruct their visual capabilities. As for your other claims they are being entertained by counsel.
So you don’t like Jews, huh?

Did You Know
Crepuscular animals are creatures that are most active during twilight (the period of dawn, dusk, or both) instead of being primarily active during daylight hours (diurnal) or the depths of the night (nocturnal).
PrP,
I do hope your healing is doing well.
I am hoping that for you too, PrP. Your energy here is missed. xx
Humans must be stopped from capturing and experimenting on us. We have existed on Earth longer than they have been here. Just because they have learned that Greenland sharks live for 500 years is on reason to allow our presence here to be abused. Granted we gave up some of our right to space motherships to occupy these shark bodies but our planet that existed Solely as a water world had lost its Sun and we needed a water world. We decided on Earth. Now we wish to continue to live here in peace. We have maintained a MotherShip beneath the sea, if we are forced to we will rise and punish these disgusting polluting creatures. We have a right to our peaceful existence.
We will allow you to exact some retribution. Check in before you act.
In my extensive experience, I’ve observed a recurring pattern regarding men and their involvement with mistresses. There are typically two underlying reasons: either a rare occurrence of mental illness or a significant deficiency in what they seek from their marriage.
Many individuals enter into marriage or cohabitation while still under the spell of limerence or infatuation. Unfortunately, they often fail to nurture their relationship into genuine love, or over time, their initial intense feelings diminish. Instead of ending the relationship when they realize they’re not truly in love, they attempt to reignite those fading emotions.
As time passes, they come to terms with the fact that they don’t genuinely love their partner and desire something more fulfilling for themselves. This realization often leads them to develop feelings for someone else unintentionally, culminating in an affair. They grapple with guilt over leaving a partner who hasn’t necessarily done anything wrong but simply isn’t their true love.
Upon being discovered, they typically sever ties with their mistress and resort to deception to salvage their marriage. However, many feel obligated to maintain the facade of the relationship, whether due to financial considerations, children, familial expectations, or religious beliefs.
Since their commitment to fixing the marriage is insincere, as they mentally checked out long before the affair, they realize that true happiness with their spouse is unattainable. Consequently, they often return to the person who brought them happiness – their mistress.
Contrary to popular belief, affairs and mistresses aren’t merely about fleeting physical desires or lapses in judgment. They represent a separate, emotional connection that sustains them and brings fulfillment, contrasting with their perceived hopeless marriage.
Attempting to salvage a marriage after an affair often leads to toxicity, as trust and intimacy are irreparably damaged. Despite efforts to portray the affair as a catalyst for growth, the reality is far from the truth.
While some seek extramarital affairs solely to address sexual dissatisfaction, a genuine affair with a mistress is driven by love or, at the very least, the initial stages of infatuation. If this connection endures over time, it signifies a deeper emotional bond that is unlikely to be broken.
It’s crucial for betrayed partners to recognize that the marriage likely ended long before the betrayal occurred. Blaming the mistress is futile and only serves to drain one’s energy. Instead, accepting this reality allows for healing and the possibility of finding genuine love in the future.
Humanity will not be safe from Islam until the Grand Mosque is a place where all other religions take turns holding their religious services.
JOKE:
A young couple, just married, were in their honeymoon suite on their wedding night. As they were undressing for bed, the husband — who was a big burly man — tossed his trousers to his bride and said, “Here, put these on.”
She put them on and the waist was twice the size of her body. “I can’t wear your trousers,” she said.
“That’s right, said the husband, “and don’t you ever forget it. I’m the man who wears the pants in this family.”
With that, she flipped him her panties and said, “Try these on.”
He tried them on and found he could only get them on as far as his kneecaps. “Hell,” he said. I can’t get into your panties!”
She replied, “That’s right, and that’s the way it’s going to stay until your attitude changes.”
When you think that you have heard the cruelest thing whites have done to non whites, there is always something even more evil they have done. It’s just a matter of finding what they have hidden from the world.

Bars must stock drug testing kits
Assembly Bill 1013 requires that bars and nightclubs offer their patrons the means to test their drinks for the presence of common date-rape drugs, known as “roofies.” The 2,400 establishments affected by the new law must either provide test kits to customers at no charge or sell them at a low price. And they must display a sign in a prominent location reading: “Don’t get roofied! Drink spiking drug test kits available here. Ask a staff member for details.”
This also takes place on July 1st.
Higher gun taxes
Anyone who buys firearms or ammunition in California will now pay an 11 percent tax, with the proceeds to be used for school safety and violence prevention programs. The tax, created by A.B. 28, is expected to generate $160 million annually.

Capping security deposits
Until now, landlords have been allowed to require a security deposit equal to as much as three months’ rent. Under A.B. 12, most landlords will be limited to requiring no more than the equivalent of one month’s rent for a security deposit, a change intended to make housing more accessible and affordable for people without much savings. Small landlords will be exempt from the limit if they own no more than two properties that collectively have no more than four units for rent.
Apple has acquiesced:
If you’re running the iOS 18 developer beta, you may have noticed your Android friends aren’t the same green bubbles as they used to be. Carriers have been steadily rolling out RCS support on the backend, and plenty of iPhone-wielding folks have already reported decade-long feuds being solved due to Apple acquiescing to the existence of the messaging protocol. It’s a beautiful time to be alive!
The second iOS 18 developer beta features the new RCS capability quietly announced at WWDC 2024. Those bravely braving the developer beta on a daily driver can now send rich messages to their Android brethren. Audio and video sent between devices will no longer be compressed down. Group chats will no longer be butchered and broken as friends and family attempt to find common ground, such as who will bring the dessert to the gathering. And you’ll see when an iPhone user has left you, dear Android user, on read.
Looks like the aliens are still fucking with tesla.
Tesla was forced to issue a recall for the futuristic Cybertruck last week after it emerged that the accelerator pedal could come loose and jam the car on full power. Not good for a truck that’s meant to be so rugged it can survive the apocalypse. Now, Tesla has revealed the fix for the issue is a very futuristic rivet forced through a hole in the pedal.
All 3,878 Cybertrucks were recalled last week due to the gas pedal issue, which it turns out was caused by soap being used on the production line of the near-$100,000 truck. Each of the 7,000-pound trucks are now being returned to service centers for a quick fix, reports the Verge.

If we don’t give these humans the technology to allow them to use their spacesuits to exit their “space station,” they may never be able to maintain it long enough for that contact you said might be allowed. They are ignorant because they don’t use their entire brain pool. The whites are at it again limiting who can be part of the science to develop a functioning spacesuit.
How far can we go to help these pathetic creatures and not risk violating the PE?
Your cell phone calls have been intercepted by an IMSI catcher or a “Cell Site Simulator,” it essentially conducts a Man-in-the-Middle attack, emulating the signals of a cell phone tower and drawing in unsuspecting mobile traffic. There are other IMSI catchers on the market, though the Stingray is easily the most recognizable brand.
The Stingray is a widely used law enforcement tool that allows police to intercept cell phone signals and data. However anyone can purchase one for about $100,000.
Stingrays are controversial for many reasons, and civil liberties advocates contend they operate in a legally gray area that has the potential to violate (or, at least, undermine) mobile users’ Fourth Amendment rights.
However violating the rights of its citizens has never stopped governments or police agencies in the past, so I’m certain it won’t now. I guess you aliens will have to stop using cell phones.
These devices don’t pose a threat to us if we use our own “cell phones.” However since those cell phone ease dropping devices are made by Defense contractors, they will know that either aliens or some superior technology developed by humans is blocking their ability to monitor your cell phone calls. The Harris Corporation, which was the original seller of the Stingray (Harris has since merged with L3Technologies, another defense contractor, to become L3Harris) is currently using a more modern technical device to monitor cell phone traffic. It can intercept cell phone calls from a wider area and store tens of thousands of call to be monitored later by individuals or computer assisted AIs.
We can prevent this too, but again if you are specifically being targeted they will know that they are being prevented from monitoring your cell phone communications.
Our technology can mimic conversations from both parties so that the listening violators hear a different conversation between the parties they are intercepting. The problem is determining when the listening started and when to mimic a different conversation. It does require an understanding of human emotional responses to work properly. Or you can settle for just switching as you please. A device for monitoring the monitors will be developed shortly. This will aid you in determining when a device like the Stingray is being used in your area or to monitor you particular cell phone conversation.
Humans understand how a spacecraft could achieve faster-than-light travel (relative to an outside observer) through a mechanism known as a “warp bubble,” which contracts space in front of it and expands space behind. The warp drive doesn’t accelerate the spacecraft locally to faster-than-light speeds; instead, it manipulates spacetime around the vessel. Such a spaceship could travel vast distances in a short period by “warping” spacetime, bypassing the light-speed limit in a way that is consistent with general relativity. But since they don’t have the technology to truly understand a model which requires negative energy, there is no chance humans will achieve the ability to navigate a failed MotherShip.
Why the fuss about their discovery and tampering with it. MotherShips operate using a kind of negative energy where there’s less energy than empty space. This type of warp drive is only imaginable in their “Star Wars” and “Star Trek” movies. So are we to fear their science fiction now?
Humans pose no threat to any MotherShip or the occupants thereof. We should decide them among ourselves as we see fit; as a food source for some, a form of entertainment for those who imagine these primitive beings would one day join our intergalactic community, or a source of planet managers. We have to come to realize that as a source of the latter, they are failing miserably. In fact they are about to destroy the pristine planet some of us have occupied before they were brought here. So why are we granting them any concessions?
Humans may be as dumb as you wish to portray them as. Whilst there are numerous practical barriers to their being able to fire up a MotherShip including the need to understand negative energy computationally, they can operate some of the instrumentation aboard a mothership. The LIGW device that every MotherShip uses to observe ripples in spacetime caused by cosmic events, especially the gravitational waves emitted by ships using negative energy(warp-drive) as a means of locomotion can be activated and understood by humans.
Their Laser Interferometer Gravatational-Wave Observatory has already proven capable of observing such phenomena from sources like merging black holes and neutron stars. The “threat” their dissection of a MotherShip could be to us is that they could tract the gravitational wave signals from an accelerating mothership..
Humans will not be able to understand or use those instruments because their use requires understanding numerical relativity to be able to read Mothership activity while operating space times under extreme conditions. These humans can barely operate their primitive space station which is in their space backyard. We are operating at warp speeds beyond their planet Mars. Decelerating to enter the their solar system between earth and Mars produces a substantial fraction of the energy contained in the spacetime curvature, making the signal potentially detectable.
But humans don’t have the intelligence to understand phenomena in which exceptionally strong gravitational forces play a role.We are not talking about studying black holes. We are talking about gravitational wave signals emitted during a warp drive deceleration maneuver.
We are and should continue to operate within their midst with impunity. A MotherShip capable of carrying more than a million beings at warp speed through the Known Universe is beyond their comprehension. Stop trying to give the cattle intelligence that they don’t have and won’t approach intellectually for at least a million years.
I agree. What we should be clamping down on is the teaching to humans the science that gos beyond the standard astrophysics they have today. Why are some of us attempting to educate them concerning spacetime dynamics in scenarios that violate their understanding of energy conditions? They don’t need to know what they don’t know.
Sharing some of our knowledge pushes the boundaries of ther understanding of physics, and allows them to test the limits of their understanding of general relativity. It could potentially lead lead them to new theoretical insights.
And how is that a good thing? They will only use the knowledge to kill each other and/or destroy the planet faster.
Okay, E[9 your compendious recitation of human skills in the field of astrophysics has been noted.
On Feb 2001, FBI agent Robert Hanssen was arrested for selling classified info to Soviet and Russian intelligence agencies.
He’d been conducting this espionage since 1979.
I feel like it was big news for like a month then died down once he was thrown in federal super max prison. I always sort of linked the two, his arrest and 9/11 since they happened the same year.
The Question is What crazy stuff do you know happened in the year 2001 that got overshadowed by 9/11?
An Airbus A-300 crashed in Queens, NY two months after 9/11.
It was the second-deadliest aviation accident in US history, and not well remembered.
A huge investigation revealed that the McDonald’s Monopoly campaign was fraudent since 1989 and had almost no legitimate winners. One guy was giving winning pieces to friends and family, and later the mafia. When this broke it was mere weeks before 9/11 so it got quickly overshadowed.
Double checking my facts, it went to trial on September 10th, wild.
I won a car from McDonald’s and years later got interviewed hard about how I won it. Wonder now if it was FBI interviewing me.
The McDonalds Monopoly scandal. The FBI uncovered this massive network of people involved in claiming all the prizes that were being stolen by the head of security at the company McDonalds had hired to run the game.
George W. Bush issued an executive order banning federal funding for research on any new embryonic stem cell lines going forward. He interrupted evening TV and did a live address to the nation from the Oval Office to announce it. This was on August 10th.
His next address to the nation was on September 11th.
I lived where the anthrax hit in 2001 just days after 9/11. They had to close down our post office and for weeks there was no mail, then finally bills came radiated and in plastic bags. You couldn’t open any of the mail – it was just stuck together. And this was back in the days before you could pay bills online.
The anthrax attacks and DC sniper don’t get talked about enough, they were, or at least felt like part of 9/11 at the time and were a major contributing factor to the climate in the country that led to the approval of the next decade+ of the GWOT.
Congressman Gary Condit having an affair with 24 year old intern, Chandra Levy who went missing and was later found murdered
George Carlin records an Album on Sept 10th called I “Kinda Like It When a Lotta People Die”. In the set’s 10-minute closer, “Uncle Dave”, Carlin explains why he likes “big, fatal disasters with lots of dead people”, asking: “Y’know what’s the best thing I can hear on television? ‘We interrupt this program’ … y’know the worst thing I can hear? ‘No one was hurt’ … I’m always rooting for a really high death toll, that’s why I like natural disasters.”….An earlier joke in the set includes reference to Osama bin Laden and an exploding airplane.
Needless to say, the album was shelved until about 2016.
Nepalese Royal Massacre. June 1, 2001. Nine members of the royal family were killed, including the King. It is thought that the Crown Prince, who died three days later after being in a coma and being crowned the new King, was responsible.
And people say the plot of Hamlet is over the top.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nepalese_royal_massacre
The Boston Globe had all the information ready to release uncovering the rampant pedophilia being covered up by the Catholic Church. After 9/11, they decided to wait to release it
the burning of Rainbow Farm, in Cass County.
Rainbow Farm was a well-known marijuana campground/concert space run by a gay libertarian couple in Newport Township (very rural part of the state). They regularly hosted marijuana cultural and pro-legalization events (this was pre-legalization, but there were still plenty of pot festivals around Michigan), and they were early organizers of the statewide legalization initiative.
Basically, a local prosecutor and law enforcement got tired of tolerating them, and started a harassment campaign, looking for any excuse to search the place and charge the owners. Eventually they did, and it started a long series of events culminating in the couple being charged with a variety of drug, weapon, and tax-related felonies. The cops took their 11-year-old son and put him in foster care, and started the process of seizing the property using civil asset forfeiture.
On August 31st, 2001, the couple – Tom and Rollie – skipped their court date and instead started burning every structure on Rainbow Farm to the ground. They started a standoff with the police, and pretty quickly the FBI was called in. Within a few days both men were shot dead by law enforcement. The autopsy showed that Tom was shot five times in the head (and three times in the chest, just for good measure, I guess).
This all happened days before 9/11, and likely would have been a huge national story. Writer Dean Kuipers, a Michigan native, wrote a book on the incident – Burning Rainbow Farm, published in 2006.
The 2001 Aspen plane crash.
It was overshadowed by 9/11 for pretty obvious reasons, but it’s still a crazy story
A bunch of people, mostly young people in their low-20’s who worked in entertainment, were on their way to Aspen for a birthday weekend to go skiing. An older colleague decided to host the trip, chartering a private jet to get them there. at some point, the pilots informed him that they weren’t going to make Aspen’s strict landing curfew, and also, there was a massive snowstorm. It was going to be both illegal, and far too dangerous for them to land in Aspen, and they were going to have to divert the plane.
He threw a GIANT fit. He told them no, you have to land in Aspen – I spent a lot of money to have a dinner party in Aspen, you’re gonna get us there, snowstorm and FAA restrictions be damned.
While preparing to attempt landing, the charter customer then went into the cockpit, presumably to intimidate the pilots into meeting his demands. The pilots didn’t want to upset him, so they attempted a landing, even lying to the air traffic controller about having visibility of the runway. So they attempted a blind landing.
The plane was around 300-500 feet from the ground when the pilot realized he fucked up – the runway was actually in the other direction from where he was headed. So he quickly banked the plane into the other direction -presumably to fix the landing (or was probably making a last ditch attempt to abort the landing altogether). As he did this, the plane’s wing slammed into a hillside, and everyone went cartwheeling into their death. Bodies still strapped to their seats were ejected, and then scattered onto a nearby road.
they didn’t crash due to terrorism, hijacking, or a mechanical failure. They crashed because “the customer is always right.”
I saw a Dateline episode about a woman from upstate NY who went missing on 9/11 and there wasn’t enough manpower to investigate because of it.
Ah, found a link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disappearance_of_Michele_Anne_Harris?wprov=sfti1#
This was from my neck of the woods. The scumbag husband was heavily suspected of doing it by the rest of the family…..so while they were all gathered around waiting for anything to come from the police, a family member tried to get a reaction out of him by lying and telling him they (the police) found the body. He very coldly replied that they’d never find the body.
This motherfucker 100000000000000% killed her.
I wonder how many people got away with murder due to 9/11
In March 2001, Drew Bledsoe signed a then-record 10-year, $103 million contract. During the second game of the season (September 23) he got hit so hard he almost died. His replacement went on to become the greatest QB of all time.
We can thank the fucking New York Jets for unleashing Tom Brady onto the NFL world.
The day before (so sept 10) $2.3 trillion was announced by the Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfield as unaccounted for. They “had trouble tracking” the spending of tax money.
Then September 11th happened and it got buried along with 5k New Yorkers.
$2.3 trillion over the previous 10 years. It didn’t vanish all at once. I think that’s the part that always gets left out of the story.
This is a common conspiracy theory, but honestly it’s more innocuous than it sounds. It includes money where one division owed money to another. Like if I owed you $100 for a reason I forgot, and you owed me $100 for some different reason you forgot, that’s $200 unaccounted for even though we owe $0.
“Our financial systems are decades old. According to some estimates, we cannot track 2.3 trillion dollars in transactions. We cannot share information from floor to floor in this building. Because it’s stored on dozens of different technological systems that are inaccessible or incompatible.”
Sept 7, 2001 US govt announces they won’t break up Microsoft as a monopoly.
Forgotten in Runsfeld’s speech about the missing funds: ‘The clearest and most important transformation is from a bipolar Cold War world where threats were visible and predictable, to one in which they arise from multiple sources, most of which are difficult to anticipate, and many of which are impossible even to know today.’
Also, the purpose of the speech was to cut military spending and shift some military control of logistics and base infrastructure to the private sector.
George Harrison’s death the following November probably would have been much bigger news than it was had 9/11 not happened. It also probably would have been under more public scrutiny; he was stabbed 40 times by a home intruder the previous year and it’s been suspected that’s what led to his decline in health and later his death. All of the headlines at the time just said he “died of cancer” and there was little public discourse or usual celebrity gossip about it. If 9/11 didn’t happen we would all probably think there were two Beatles who were murdered by crazy people.
I think you are mixing things up. For one, Harrison was already diagnosed with cancer in 1997, most likely related to his heavy smoking, but had undergone successful treatment in the following years.
The home invasion with the stabbing took place in 1999.
The whole thing was indeed downplayed and some may even believe that the trauma of the attack put him into a weakened state that allowed the cancer to return.
In 2001 he was diagnosed with a brain tumor, most likely caused by his lung cancer that spread to his brain. That brain tumor was what ultimately killed him.
Before becoming “America’s Mayor” Rudy Giuliani was highly scrutinized for his stop and frisk policy that targeted minorities in NYC. He gave free reign to the NYPD during his run.
There was the high profile case of police brutality and rape of Abner Loiuma with a plunger by the NYPD. Amadou Diallo was shot 41 times by the police in front of his home. Rudy was in hot water, then 9/11 happened and people treated him like some type of hero.
Now the cousin fucker is back to being the piece of shit he has always been.
Dollars to doughnuts, when Giuliani eventually passes, it will be revealed elements within the Soviet Union paid him, while he was a U.S. attorney, to target the Italian mafia in order to make space for Russian organized crime.
Certain Ruskies saw the writing on the wall and made moves to carve out eventual financial territory in the coming and smaller Russian state.
Bought and paid for.
Lived in NYC at the time, Rudy was an absolute shitbag on his way to getting booted out of office. Also people were talking about how he moved his mistress into Gracie Mansion while his wife was dying of cancer. Then post 9/11 he was a fuckin’ hero. SMH.
In May 2000 Giuliani announced in a press conference that he was leaving his second wife. His wife reported she learned he was leaving her during that press conference. People started wondering if he had dumped his first wife in a similar fashion. They found out his first wife was someone he had grown up knowing was his cousin. He was an absolute joke until 9/11 which he road all the way to becoming a serious presidential candidate in 2008. It wasn’t until Trump’s reelection campaign that we all started to remember how much of an absolute buffoon he was.
My mum died 2 weeks before 9/11. I was 13 when we found her in her bed, she had died in her sleep. I miss her every day though I am glad she wasn’t here for 9/11 it would have made her so upset, she cried when princess Diana passed away so I can’t imagine the effect it would have had on her kind empathetic soul ❤️
My late hubby’s birthday was 9/11/66. along with a few family members. Never got another Birthday after that. Also he was away from from home on a work trip, his flight home was that day. He was upgraded to first class by his employers but that flight was full so they put him on the next one out. The flight he got booted off of was one of the highjacked flights. FBI kept him for two weeks interrogating him. Was a like 3-4 days after the attack that i found out he was alive. Sorry for my rant…
George bush was inaugurated as president after losing the popular vote to Al Gore AND the Supreme Court basically forced stop ballot counting in Florida. Arguably Al Gore should Have been president and we may have been in a very different world, but alas….
Police around the world have arrested 3,950 people and seized assets totaling $257 million in a coordinated effort to crack down on online scams, according to a news release Thursday from Interpol. Dubbed Operation First Light 2024, the scammers engaged in a variety of online crimes, including phishing, investment fraud, taking in money from fake shopping sites, and romance scams, the international law enforcement agency says.
The international effort from March to May of this year spanned 61 countries and included the combined seizure of $135 million in fiat currency and $2 million in crypto. Police seized roughly $120 million in assets, including real estate, luxury cars, and jewelry. The operation also identified an additional 14,643 “other possible suspects,” according to Interpol.
How long can I keep cooked rice in the refrigerator before it becomes unsafe to eat?
The general consensus among food safety experts is that cooked rice should be eaten within 3 to 4 days. After that, you’re rolling the dice, and not in the fun way like when you’re deciding which new craft brewery to try in the Pearl District.
Here’s why: rice can contain spores of a bacterium called Bacillus cereus. Sounds like something from a sci-fi film set in space, but it’s very much earthbound and can cause food poisoning. These spores can survive the cooking process, and if the rice is left at room temperature for too long, they can grow into bacteria that produce toxins. These toxins can cause vomiting or diarrhea, and not the kind you want to tell tales about.
Now, if you cool the rice quickly (within an hour is ideal) and store it in the refrigerator at temperatures below 40°F (4°C), you’re putting a damper on that bacterial rave. That’s why in many Portland kitchens, you’ll see cooks spread the rice out on a large sheet or store it in shallow containers so it cools down faster.
But again, even with these precautions, don’t push your luck beyond those 3 to 4 days. If you’re eyeballing some rice in the fridge that’s been there long enough to start paying rent, just let it go. Portland’s food scene is too good to risk a day sidelined by bad rice.
And remember, old rice isn’t without virtue. It’s the backbone of many a fried rice dish. So, if you find yourself with leftover rice that’s still in that safety window, consider giving it new life with some vegetables and protein. In Portland, we’re all about reducing waste and repurposing, whether it’s furniture, clothing, or rice.
In essence, be smart, be safe, and when in doubt, throw it out. Your stomach will thank you, and you won’t miss out on any of the culinary delights this city has to offer.
From Mandela:
“After I became president, I asked my escort to go to a restaurant for lunch. We sat down and each of us asked what we wanted.
On the front table, there was a man waiting to be served. When he was served, I said to one of my soldiers: go and ask that gentleman to join us. The soldier went and conveyed my invitation to him. The man got up, took his plate and sat down right next to me.
While he ate his hands trembled constantly and he did not lift his head from his food. When we finished, he said goodbye without looking at me, I shook his hand and he left.
The soldier told me:
Madiba that man must have been very ill, seeing as his hands didn’t stop shaking while he ate.-
Absolutely no! the reason for his trembling is another.
Then I told him:
That man was the warden of the prison where I stayed. After he tortured me, I screamed and cried asking for some water and he came and humiliated me, laughed at me and instead of giving me water, he urinated on my head.
He is not sick, he was afraid that I, now president of South Africa, would send him to prison and do to him what he did to me. But I’m not like that, his conduct is not part of my character, nor of my ethics.
′′Minds that seek revenge destroy states, while those that seek reconciliation build nations. Walking out the door to my freedom, I knew that if I didn’t leave all the anger, hatred and resentment behind me, I would still be a prisoner.”
′′Minds that seek revenge destroy states, while those that seek reconciliation build nations
Pure bullshit. If Mandela had ordered all the white bastards who were involved in torture to be tortured and killed, SA would be a better place today.
I like the way you think.

Hockey is the only major sport divided into three periods (as opposed to other larger or smaller intervals like innings, halves, or quarters) due largely to how tough play is on the ice and the necessity of refinishing the surface with a Zamboni machine between periods.

Nurse Marie Fikáčková crushes the heads of at least 10 babies because their crying infuriates her.
That’s Mohammed Amin al-Husseini, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem. He was an antisemite, and anti-zionist, and a Nazi collaborator. He ruled that it was unacceptable for Jews to rule any land, no matter how small, that had once been ruled by Muslims. Because of him and his protege, Yasser Arafat, the Palestinians will not sign any agreement that allows the existence of Israel. Because of him, Israel has been under constant attack since it first declared its independence from Jordan.
Israel has tried to trade land for peace multiple times. It appeared that a peace agreement was possible in 2000 in an agreement negotiated by Clinton’s Secretary of State, Madeline Albright. But Arafat ended up walking out on it.
You can’t share land with people who want it all.
Biden’s ear has another beef with middle eastern countries. He believes that they are importing supercomputing clusters of wafer-sized hips and selling them to China. This is a direct violation of the sanctions the US has put on China to prevent China from having access to machine-learning accelerator chips.
Now the question is what will he be allowed to do to prevent or deter Middle Eastern countries from continuing this practice. Most likely it will result in somebody dying somewhere in the Middle East.
Hackers have gained access to “Tile” a tracking company used by law enforcement to track people. One of the uses of the information they gained from the hack is to pose as law enforcement to gain access to your data if you are a member of facebook(X), Instragram, Apple, google, etc.
So be careful if you are contacted by “law enforcement” for anything.
If someone has more information about you that you think he/she should have chances are they are using Clearview AI to gain access to your data from a picture you may have posted some where. Clearview AI described on its website as “the world’s largest facial recognition network.” The database pools more than 40 billion images collected from news media, mugshot websites, public social media, and other open sources. Then it collects data on those images and sells the information to anyone with a buck to purchase it. So far law enforcement has been their major customers.
With a picture of you, cops can now access everything known publicly about you. If you have a social media account, there is nothing personal that you have done that can’t be sold to the highest bidder, name, DOB, favorite books, food, movies, nothing too small or big will escape. You are now an open book to all with a few dollars more to spare.
In 2022, Ars reported when Clearview AI told investors it had ambitions to collect more than 100 billion face images, ensuring that “almost everyone in the world will be identifiable.” As privacy concerns about the controversial tech mounted, it became hotly debated. Facebook moved to stop the company from scraping faces on its platform, and the ACLU won a settlement that banned Clearview AI from contracting with most businesses. But the US government retained access to the tech, including “hundreds of police forces across the US,” Ton-That told the BBC.
Most law enforcement agencies are hesitant to discuss their Clearview AI tactics in detail, the BBC reported, so it’s often unclear who has access and why. But the Miami Police confirmed that “it uses this software for every type of crime,” the BBC reported.
Now, at least one Indiana police department has confirmed that an officer can sneakily abuse the tech and conduct unapproved face scans with apparent ease.
According to Kashmir Hill—the journalist who exposed Clearview AI’s tech—the disgraced cop was following in the footsteps of “billionaires, Silicon Valley investors, and a few high-wattage celebrities” who got early access to Clearview AI tech in 2020 and considered it a “superpower on their phone, allowing them to put a name to a face and dig up online photos of someone that the person might not even realize were online.”
Advocates have warned that stronger privacy laws are needed to stop law enforcement from abusing Clearview AI’s network, which Hill described as “a Shazam for people.”
The humans have poisoned Guam. A long-banned insecticide harmful to human health that’s recently been found in Guam water is also popping up inside fish, crabs, and sediment around the island, according to a toxicologist from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
U.S. EPA senior regional toxicologist Patrick Wilson spoke during a public hearing on Guam EPA’s plans to deal with dieldrin found in Guam water.
Banned in the 1980s, dieldrin has been associated with cancer, liver damage, and impaired learning in animals, but is not regulated by the U.S. EPA.
They are lying about the dangers. Everything on the island is poisoned. The fish in the oceans surrounding the island are poisoned. Everyone on the island will die from some form of cancer or disease related to impairment of their immune system. Everyone on the island is doomed. Anyone going to live on the island will die because the water, food and the soil is polluted by the chemicals they have polluted this beautiful island with.
We are presently accessing how long one has to live on the before the damage to their bodies is irreversible. Those that are responsible will pay.
According to the Supreme Court, Biden could now send in Seal Team 6 to take all of them out. He could send in the military to take out Trump. He has “immunity” for official acts now!
Typical ignorance of the republicans. Those 6 bought and paid for SCOTUS idiots just gave Biden the right to order his Seal Team 6 or anyone else he chooses to do the job to kill the bought and paid for idiots.
Humans are okay enough on their own merits…. Don’t screw it all up by expecting them to be little not so intelligent aliens….
