And as to 2016, we all seemed to have forgotten that James Comey announced that the FBI was reopening the investigation into Clinton, at this same time before the election. I thought, "My God. He just handed Trump the election on a silver platter."

Perfect reply! I get it.

How is it played? 3rd person?

So finding a corpse in the backyard isn't probable cause and they had to return with a warrant? Surely I'm not reading that correctly.

This interview should clear things up. I have no idea why this woman hasn't been assassinated.

I honestly don't think so. I can't imagine Trump giving two shits about immigrants or any other brown people. The racism is what got him on the road to 2016, immigration issues are polling as a concern, he's just going for what works.

Guess I'm saying, to call him a Nazi is to ascribe beliefs to him. The man has no beliefs whatsoever. Remember, he was basically a New York City Democrat until he found he could sell himself better espousing hateful rhetoric.

She may well be correct with her numbers, I'm too lazy to check. But the Saffir-Simpson scale only measures wind speed. Makes for a fair thumbnail sketch, but doesn't say much about the actual effects on the ground. For example; a slow moving CAT-3 can easily do more damage than a fast passing CAT-5. Keep in mind, Helene was only a CAT-2 by the time it hit NC, something we laugh about here in Florida. But it was huge, slow and wet. And due to the geography, well, flooding. Florida is so flat that water just drains out, nothing to channel it.

I have seen so many pictures and videos of the damage

I'll just add this, nothing you see, or can see, in the media does justice to what it's like living in the aftermath. My ex-FIL was in the Mississippi Guard. Two tours or Iraq, two Bronze Stars. What he saw and did after Katrina gave him PTSD and he abandoned his wife of 32-years and his daughter. Picture destruction that the United States military struggles to push through. House in the road? They fucking chainsawed them and pushed them to the sides. Stuff like that.

Ivan was my "war" and I drove MS from the Gulf Coast to Hattiesburg after Katrina. At this point I'm numb to it and the pictures all look the same.

Torque and a $5 BT car computer dongle. It tells you everything about your car. You can see what warning lights mean and clear the codes.

The seller can mandate a signature. I've had to sign for valuables like laptops, phones and ammo. (That last one was to prove I'm American.)

Finished a short horror tale yesterday. Is there a spot on lemmy that would get it read and criticized?

She had interviewed and met both remotely and in person, this guy was merely an HR drone confirming her documentation. I was a little bent when she told me he had asked her to remove her blur filter "to have a look at her working environment, make sure it's not cluttered" (something along those lines). No one else at this company requested such. Was he way out of line?

I should note, this is my PC in our living room and not where she will be working from. And this guy wants a look around our home?! Told my wife to bring this up once she's settled in, ask HR if this is policy. She started today!

She thinks it's a racism thing. I'm not so sure, but I don't have any other explanation.

Where do I begin to even see if I'm interested?

It stands to reason he must have been doing something right to have stayed so close to the halls of power.

I was a toddler when he was carpet bombing Cambodia, never knew him as anything but "an important person" that was sometimes on the TV. Only learned of his crimes in the past decade.

How did an in-your-face war criminal retain such influence for so long?
