They probably won’t get rid of elections… they’ll just have sham elections like Russia has to give the impression of “legitimacy” but I guarantee they’ll be heavily rigged in their favor.

only $70 billion showing on the books so far

Are they not finished banning books yet? I’m sure that one’s on the list as well.

My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.

My guess is it’s similar to the electric motors they put in cars vs industrial motors… they can both put out X amount of power but the industrial ones (or in this case the laptop power) can do it continuously without overheating while the other can only output “up to” that power rating for a short time without burning up.

In this case though, the laptop power probably also outputs a higher voltage as well.

Unedited preferably.

He is the master debater.

Sure, but if he chokes on a hamburger not one of them is going to suddenly turn into nice people or give up their positions. They’re just going to try to find a better mascot to fill the clown shoes. Even if it takes years to do.

He may be, but the rest of his party isn’t. He’s only the mascot.

That’s weird, still works for me.

It’s still there, just further down the page.

Earlier we reported on the deaths of five health workers in an Israeli strike in Derdghaiya, southern Lebanon last night.

The government-run Lebanese Civil Defence emergency service says the five workers were waiting in a makeshift centre in a church hall in the southern town of Derdghaiya when it was hit by an Israeli air strike.

We’ve spoken to Father Maurice Khoury, head of the St George’sCatholic parish church there, who says those killed were “a model for humanity and chivalry. They sacrificed their lives for the wellbeing of others”.

Father Maurice adds that parishioners and villagers tell him there was no military presence on church grounds, and no gunmen in the vicinity. He says he doesn’t know how the health workers “would have a target on their backs?"

Father Maurice, who left the village on 22 September right before the Israeli escalation, says the health workers killed were looking after the 200-400 displaced people seeking shelter there.

“The church’s two halls were filled with IDPs [international displaced persons]. The Civil Defense used to come with food, water and aid. They were the only one supplying aid to the IDPs,” Father Maurice tells us.

He says one of those who was killed was “the pinnacle of generosity” while another “was a member of my parish. He was my right-hand man. He strived to provide a dignified life for his wife and three daughters. What wrong did they do?”

Israel says it only attacks military targets and the town was in an area which the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) had warned people to leave.

The BBC has approached the IDF for comment.

With additional reporting by Joanna Majzoub.

You can do that with the 9 volt batteries and feel how much “tingle” they have, but never heard of it working with aa batteries. Wouldn’t he have to stick the whole thing in his mouth to complete the circuit?

And I was just going to comment “What year is it??”

Have they tried turning their government off and on again?

If the guys that made Internet Explorer also made bombs…

Wow… I could dream up more realistic excuses in middle school.

I hope he’s right, but I’m not holding my breath until Putin is in the ground where he belongs.

I can see it making sense for long distance hauling, semi trucks for example, where batteries can’t really compete very well. But for the average person that doesn’t need to put on thousands of miles in a short time hydrogen doesn’t make much sense.

The pre-written letter, addressed to “The World”, appears to pre-empt a failed assassination attempt. “I tried my best and gave it all the gumption I could muster,” it reads.

Was it foreshadowing or had he possibly tried getting close enough before and it didn’t pan out?

The door parked itself, I parked the rest of it.
