As a consumer, PublicSquare’s website is easy to use. You just enter your ZIP code
Where? In the search box I just get a few products that happen to have my zip code in their description (not as a zip, but as a product number or something). Other comments here mention a map, but I’m not seeing that.
Edit: Found it. It’s really buried.
When you surround yourself with “yes men” that are afraid to challenge your choices because your snowflake ego might erupt, then you’ve got nobody you can count on to warn you when you’re about to do something really stupid.
There’s no radio, no Bluetooth, and no speakers of any kind beyond for those required to play basic warning chimes.
Many will consider this a cost-cutting step too far, but the interior was designed for ease of upgrading, with easy mounting space for anything from a simple soundbar to a full sound system.
There’s an integrated phone mount right on the dashboard, but there’s nothing stopping you from bringing something even larger. I expect the low-cost Android tablet and 3D-printing communities to have a field day coming up with in-car media streaming solutions.
a typically male-dominated and controversial Mexican music genre that’s soared into the spotlight in recent years.
The male-dominated part seems to make this an excellent choice considering the subject of her song. Not being familiar with it though, I wondered what makes it controversial. If anyone else is curious about that part…
Quintana’s new music goes further. She uses “corridos,” a type of northern Mexican ballads that has seen both an international renaissance and a backlash, with critics claiming that “narco corridos” — songs that glorify cartel violence and use misogynistic lyrics – have dominated the form.
The topic has grown so heated that the United States even revoked the visas of members of one band who projected the face of a drug cartel boss onto a large screen during a performance.
Instead of banning the corridos as a growing number of Mexican states have done, the country’s first woman president, Claudia Sheinbaum, has proposed that the government promote a new style of corridos that avoid glorifying violence and discrimination against women.
“We’re not banning a musical genre; that would be absurd,” Sheinbaum said recently. “What we’re proposing is that the lyrics not glorify drugs, violence, violence against women or viewing women as a sexual object.”
You two are clearly talking about very specific fires that occurred under very specific conditions. I’m not going to debate what happened or why. That’s for the experts to weigh in on.
I however would like to point out that there are “best practices” for communities and structures in the wildland-urban interface. Relevant to this discussion is the following…
Guidelines for landscaping:
Guidelines for outdoor maintenance:
Guidelines for flammables:
These obviously aren’t going to protect every house from every fire. But that doesn’t mean people should ignore them.
I’m also not implying that anyone affected by the specific fires being discussed above didn’t exercise appropriate caution for where they lived. Certainly some did. Others possibly didn’t.
But the reason these guidelines exist is because there have been people who’s homes were affected by other wildfires, and experts have concluded that the the above conditions have, at times, contributed to the problem, and that people should do their part to mitigate the problems on their property, and help bring awareness to their neighbors.
Cost of doing business.
The CIA of yesteryear approves this idea.
Where destruction is involved, the weapons of the citizen-saboteur are salt, nails, candles, pebbles, thread, or any other materials he might normally be expected to possess as a householder or as a worker in his particular occupation. His arsenal is the kitchen shelf, the trash pile, his own usual kit of tools and supplies. The targets of his sabotage are usually objects to which he has normal and inconspicuous access in everyday life.

In times like these, it’s hard not to wonder if this wasn’t the act of someone on the inside following the Simple Sabotage Field Manual.
More people should read it (it’s short) for inspiration on what skills they already possess (or can easily learn in advance) to fight fascism when the opportunity presents itself
Edit to add excerpt.

A second type of simple sabotage requires no destructive tools whatsoever and produces physical damage, if any, by highly indirect means. It is based on universal opportunities to make faulty decisions, to adopt a noncooperative attitude, and to induce others to follow suit. Making a faulty decision may be simply a matter of placing tools in one spot instead of another. A non-cooperative attitude may involve nothing more than creating an unpleasant situation among one’s fellow workers, engaging in bickerings, or displaying surliness and stupidity.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation reviewed documents allegedly written by the teen, which calls for the assassination of Trump and the start of a revolution to “save the white race,” according to federal court documents.
My guess is that the plan was to frame “the left” for the assassination and trigger a race war. These nuts are so itching for a fight that they believe that the entire country is on the verge of neighbors fighting neighbors, and they just need to push it over the edge.
Everyone should be aware that OP is clearly using AI to summarize the articles they’re posting, and the summaries are garbage. This is the second one I’m calling out. Here’s the first.
First sentence of summary;
The EU suspended its planned tariffs on €20.9 billion in U.S. goods after Trump paused his new 10% tariff on all EU imports, opting for a 90-day truce.
In the actual article.
Trump had hit the 27-nation bloc with a 20 percent duty on all goods. Under pressure as financial markets melted down, he halved the levy to 10 percent — the baseline he has set in his bid to bring investment and industrial jobs lost to globalization back home.
In short, summary says 10% tarrif was paused. This is completely wrong. The 20% tarrif was paused and reduced to the 10% baseline he set for everyone (which is still extremely high).
OP, if you’re not going to proofread AI generated summaries for accuracy, don’t use them.
Has anyone checked if she’s an AI? That’s the kind of thing an AI would screw up.
China raised tariffs to 125% on US goods
That’s what Beijing is allegedly responding to in that sentence. There’s no alternative way to interpret it.
No, that’s not clumsy wording. It’s nonsense. Beijing isn’t going to “respond in kind” to China raising tariffs. As you correctly stated, Beijing is China. What if it said, “The United States raised tariffs to ___% on Chinese goods, with Washington DC responding in kind.”? It’s exactly the same nonsense.
China raised tariffs to 125% on US goods, with Beijing responding in kind.
Summary written by AI.
Edit: For those not seeing it, in this context, Beijing is China. So, China responded to China? That’s the kind of nonsense an AI writes, and that sentence is nowhere to be found in the original article. Hence, “Summary written by AI.”
I’ll give you one guess when he and his cronies are buying and selling stocks.
Many Cybertruck owners reported trying to trade-in the truck for a new vehicle
It only came out in November 2023! They’re already trying to trade it in? Seems like that’s it’s own sign of problems.
Some owners who have had their trucks in service for extended periods of time
NOVEMBER 2023!!! Nobody has had a one of these dumpsters for an extended period of time!
This is the correct response.
ETA: and I strongly suspect this will happen somehow. So, his birthday is June 14th, so those who can should start making plans to be in DC around then (actual day of parade may be different, so don’t lock in specific dates until there’s more info).
Meanwhile, get ready for your local May 1st protests. (More locations will be certainly be added to that map as the day gets closer).
And until then, there are lots more opportunities to get out and protest.
There is no shortage of evidence to support this this conclusion.
This too. No reason both can’t be true at the same time.
