I didn't scare easily as a kid, not that I watched real horror but the first movie that I recall scaring me was "Watcher in the Woods" with Betty Davis.

An election chief lost. Then he padlocked the ballots and called the FBI.

In addition, there are a handful of ways to try to get a better deal. The first is to change the way you comparison shop. You can't just comparison shop across brands; you have to compare within brands: logged in versus logged out, in the app versus on the website versus in the brick-and-mortar store. Maybe you also change geographies using a VPN? These are all ways to comparison shop the same item from the same company but in different modalities.

So they are denying us bases in the Middle East and Europe. Add in the draw down from the administration in Europe separately and the agreed upon draw down in Iraq. I'm sure more dumbass speeches from Hegseth will make things safer. Brilliant strategy all around.

Trump: My Administration will, immediately, begin sending 'Checks' of nearly $100 to over 20 MILLION wonderful Seniors to help pay for their Medicare Part B premium ... This money will come from the Medicare Improvement Fund, a pointless 'Slush Fund' that has only been used by Dumocrats ... "
Trump: "I am pleased to announce that my Administration will, immediately, begin sending 'Checks' of nearly $100 to over 20 MILLION wonderful Seniors to help pay for their Medicare Part B premiums, which we have already reduced by significant amounts. This money will come from the Medicare Improvement Fund, a pointless 'Slush Fund' that has only been used by Dumocrats in Congress to pay for the Waste, Fraud, and Abuse for their Special Interest friends, and drive up Healthcare costs. We are finally using this Fund, along with my Most Favored Nations Deals, to substantially LOWER costs for our Seniors. I pledged to protect and preserve Medicare and Social Security, which were on the verge of RUIN by Joe Biden, who foolishly and maliciously let tens of millions of Illegal Aliens into our Country, and we are doing just that for America’s Seniors. This is separate from the equally substantial Refund 'Checks' we are sending to One Million Americans who were overcharged for their Unaffordable Care Act plans by Joe Biden.

Because I delivered on this very important issue for the American People, they can also rest assured the highly popular $5,000 Trump Dividend will be distributed to every U.S. Citizen if, and when, the Republicans win the Midterm Elections! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP"

My grandfather was a civilian photographer in WWII. I discovered a box of his letters he wrote to my grandmother that she saved immaculately. I was floored! One letter was written about V-E Day and photographing Hermann Goring and the other about photographing the liberation of Dachau.

At the global scale, AI has benefited from decades of climate and weather records covering the entire Earth. But at the regional scale, forecasts start to be much more challenging for AI. That difference matters for forecasting hurricane intensity.

Why AI has trouble predicting the intensity of hurricanes
Artificial intelligence now produces excellent weather forecasts on a broad scale. But several factors complicate its ability to predict how fast a hurricane will ramp up.
