There is an interesting article in The Hill about Joseph Cuffari. In case you don’t remember, Cuffari was a tRump appointee. The whole situation reeks. He should be in jail.
“Inspector General Cuffari’s failure to promptly notify Congress of the Secret Service’s months-long refusal to produce text messages that OIG had requested in February of 2021, or of the Secret Service’s belated admission that those texts were erased as part of a device replacement program, calls into question his ability to effectively and objectively conduct the criminal investigation he recently opened,” Durbin wrote to Garland.

SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) — A historic Bay Area dojo could be on the brink of closure because of a rent hike.
ABC7 News was as at San Francisco Taiko Dojo.
It was founded in 1968 by Seiichi Tanaka, who was instrumental in bringing taiko drumming to the U.S.
We spoke with his son about the rent increase.
“We are currently paying $2,700 a month, the rent is going to be more than double, almost triple to what the market rate is,” said Ryuma Tanaka, Taiko Dojo’s general manager. “And unfortunately, at first I thought they we were crazy, they were playing games on us, they were just trying to scare us, this big number.”
The dojo has until the end of the month to find a new location.
It is asking for donations on its website to help find a new spot. For more information on how to help, visit here.

So she has demonstrated that she knows how to act with satipatthana. Then allow her to enter, but if she fails, then you must stay among humans until you can train one to truly act with mindfulness.
The curious always finds complexity. Please, drink.
Everyone is so impressed by Azziza. It is said that on earth there is her counter part. We have been studying that counter part. It is my opinion that we expected a dragon and she is a Barbie.
We need three months to train her. Then we can invite her up. Of course, If she does not get the three months, she will still be invited up because of who you think she is. The important thing is, if she gets the training she has a chance to at least survive. If she doesn’t she will die. This may all be moot if the planet doesn’t last 90 days. But then, her need to fight for humans to retain possession of the planet would also be moot.
It is your choice: We train her, if she loses and humans are replaced with Ylofiens, but she survives; If we don’t train her, she will definitely lose, Ylofiens will be replaced by Ylofiens, she will definitely die.
The fact that she is now with _____ who represents our MotherShip was not luck it was synchronicity.
Why should you be the ones training her. We should be the ones because the heart of our work is simplicity. We train our gladiator to do what works to overcome the opponent. We will be working with a being raised beneath the wrong Sun, on the wrong planet, with more emotion than logic, hence always chasing rainbows.
We will see who gets to train her. What you say about her is true, but you want to train her as we do because she has a “spirit” that follows her. Some say it is the spirit of her dead brother, others say it may be ONE of the GODS.

Now that our scientists have established that humans require actual interactions to experience xchemistry.

Chemistry is an emergent phenomenon. Chemistry emerges from interactions rather than from the attributes, expectations, or biases of the involved partners. This might explain why online daters often struggle to predict whether chemistry will develop just from reading online descriptions of possible partners and why there is no scientific evidence for the effectiveness of matching algorithms in dating websites.
Chemistry is a relationship effect. Chemistry can be related to liking, but it’s broader than that: It encompasses the feeling that a given relationship is special and different from other relationships.
Chemistry is often embodied. Several aspects of chemistry occur nonverbally or even outside of awareness. These aspects include eye contact, mimicry of facial and bodily expressions, and synchronous movements. Interpersonal chemistry can also be felt inside one’s body.
Chemistry is different from other high-quality connections. Relationships with family members, friends, coworkers, and even lovers can be productive and satisfying, but that does not mean they create chemistry. Similarly, an intense and immediate physical attraction might be conflated with chemistry, but relationships with chemistry have unique characteristics.

How Zelle Scams Work, and How to Protect Your Money
TIM BROOKES
Zelle is one of the most popular financial platforms of its kind, so it’s no surprise that the platform has been made a target for scammers. Here’s what to look out for and how to avoid a nasty surprise.
What Is Zelle?
Zelle is a peer-to-peer (P2P) payment service that makes it easy to send money from one bank account to another. The service is (at the time of writing) only available in the US, having been set up by some of the country’s largest financial institutions.
The fact that Zelle charges users no fees to send money has seen the service grow hugely in popularity over the last few years. All you need to use it is a bank account with a participating financial institution and the Zelle app for iPhone or Android. Some banking apps already have Zelle integration, which makes it particularly easy to send or receive money online.
The approachability and growth of Zelle as a service means it’s easy to set up and use, but this has also attracted scammers. Fortunately, most of the scams that target Zelle users are nothing new and should be easy to spot.
Zelle Scammers Use Fake Text Messages and Calls
Zelle scams mostly rely on social engineering, where a scammer builds trust so that the target will send money willingly. Similar scams have plagued banks and older payment services like PayPal for years.
One of the most common scams starts with a fake text message that requests approval for a pending transaction or issues a warning about fraudulent activity on an account. When users interact with the message (usually texting back “no” as instructed) they receive a phone call from what seems to be a legitimate financial organization. Scammers can spoof phone numbers so that the number that’s calling appears to match up with a bank or credit union.
From here, the scam takes a turn. Targets are informed that a thief is trying to empty their bank account and that they need to transfer money back into their account to be safe. Ideal targets do not already use Zelle, which provides would-be scammers the opportunity to link their bank accounts to a target’s phone number. To do this, the scammer will walk the target through the two-factor authentication process and ask them to read out the verification code that’s sent to the victim’s phone.
With the victim’s phone number attached to the fraudster’s account, the scammer will then initiate the final stage of the scam: getting the victim to send money to their own phone number. Since the phone number is now associated with the scammer, the money is finally leaving the target’s account. Scammers will often try the same trick multiple times, requesting repeat transactions to “recover” lost funds.
The scam mostly affects those who don’t already use Zelle, who don’t have a tech-savvy background, and who believe that there’s no way sending money to their personal phone number could play into the hands of a scammer.
Online Sellers May Also Fall Victim
In another example of a scam that used Zelle, TikTok user Tarek Ali (@itstarekali) was scammed also by way of a fake email. The social media user explained how they listed some camera gear on Facebook Marketplace after which someone started enquiring about the item. The supposed buyer asked for videos to appear legitimate and requested that an additional lens be included for a total of $770.
The scammer sent a fake Zelle confirmation email, stating that Tarik had received the money. Instead of checking whether the money cleared into their account, Tarik suspected nothing and sent the camera to the buyer. They then requested an additional payment for the shipping fee. The scammer sent another follow-up email claiming that Tarik was unable to receive money due to having a “personal” account.
What is socially acceptable in Denmark that would be horrifying in the U.S.?
Denmark is quite unique.
SEX. – Everywhere. Sex education is done early and the right to have sex is taken seriously. A friend told me once, if my dad ever walked in on me having sex with a girl I would yell at him to get out. We were 15. Also, X-rated content would be aired on national TV after midnight. Wasn’t an issue.
Nudity. – I would sleep over at friends and realize their moms were very comfortable being topless. Sun bathing or not, it just wasn’t inappropriate showing skin. Body painting was common in the summer. That’s topless women with only paint covering the sensitive parts.
Social disparity. – It’s just one big middle class. Where you went to school pretty much determined what sort of people you met but it wasn’t uncommon for a son of a doctor or a lawyer to be content with being a supermarket clerk. The lines are clearly blurred between the rich and the poor and much fewer people define themselves through their wealth.
Social involvement. – Danes are more involved with politics at an early age. They have stronger views and a sense of what they believe is right or wrong at a much earlier age. This usually results in open discussions on sensitive topics at dinner tables and at school. Political correctness is less important as people are more inclined to express their beliefs.
Why do some people tend to talk on a speaker phone while walking around a store?
They don’t care about the feelings or rights of other people, and they don’t mind letting you know about it.
JOKE:
Teacher asked the children what their Dad’s did for a living.All the typical answers came up… Builder, fireman, policeman, salesman,etc.Joshua, a kid with a blond mop of hair, was being uncharacteristically quiet and so the Teacher asked him about his Dad. ‘My Dad’s an exotic dancer in a gay bar and takes off all his clothes in front of other men. Sometimes, if the offer is really good, he’ll go out to the back lane and have sex with them for money.The teacher, obviously shaken by this statement, hurriedly set the other children to work on some colouring, and took little Joshua aside to ask him, ‘Is that really true about your Dad?”No,’ said Joshua, ‘He’s a stuntman for a famous female actress, but I was too embarrassed to say that in front of the other kids.’
“According to a news report, a certain private school in Washington recently was faced with a unique problem. A number of 12-year-old girls were beginning to use lipstick and would put it on in the bathroom. That was fine, but after they put on their lipstick they would press their lips to the mirror leaving dozens of little lip prints.
Every night, the maintenance man would remove them and the next day, the girls would put them back. Finally the principal decided that something had to be done. She called all the girls to the bathroom and met them there with the maintenance man. She explained that all these lip prints were causing a major problem for the custodian who had to clean the mirrors every night. To demonstrate how difficult it had been to clean the mirrors, she asked the maintenance man to show the girls how much effort was required.
He took out a long-handled squeegee, dipped it in the toilet, and cleaned the mirror with it. Since then, there have been no lip prints on the mirror. There are teachers, and then there are educators…”
How do the underground pipes that deliver water for us to bathe and drink stay clean?
Clean is a questionable term. Tuberculations, are mineral deposits that build up in old cast iron and modern day ductile iron water pipes. If you were to cut a small section of this pipe and weld a bottom into it, would you drink out of it?
Nasty as it is, water lines are disinfected with liquid, granular, nodular or gaseous chlorine when initially constructed or breached for repairs.
Usually when a water main breaks and is repaired, a “boil water” notice is issued until the line is disinfected and samples of the water are lab tested. Most modern water mains have small taps called sampling points so water can be routinely tested at random points throughout the distribution system as well as at the water treatment plant or pumping station.
Older systems are generally sampled at fire hydrants. Maintaining the safety of the water supply is a priority involving disinfection and backflow prevention, another critical prevention system that’s understood by few.

A Russian female commander who boasted about how she enjoyed killing Ukrainians and whose troops fired on civilians in the Donbas region has been killed in a missile strike.
How we killed Lieutenant Colonel Olga ‘Kursa’ Kachura, 52, was within the boundaries of the regulations I was issued when I replaced M. She was killed instantly after a Ukrainian missile hit her car as she was driving in the city of Horlivka, in the Donetsk region of Ukraine. She was the Russian female commander who boasted about how she enjoyed killing Ukrainians and whose troops murdered civilians in the Donbas region.
You are to commended. Soldiers win battles, but logistics win wars. Following the tactics dictated by M is a wise move.
Here is another case of the rich killing animals and pulling a tRump to justify it.
