No.
He made his money from Comcast. They are a terrible monopolistic company. They are one of the reasons why the US has such expensive broadband. Why we have such poor coverage. Why there is zero competition for most Americans when it comes to choosing who they get their broadband from.

My wife is Italian. Her parents were the same. 😀
My Filipino relatives do the same thing too.
My wife isn’t as bad. But she does love protecting everything in plastic bags, which drives me nuts. I’m a minimalist.

I’m on my HOA board. Our rules prohibit this. I really don’t want to deal with debates about overturning this rule. The cost of issuing new CC&Rs. Coming up with rules and guidelines for those who do have chickens.
Not to mention we have coyotes every night prowling our neighborhood!

I agree.
I had power outlets installed behind the toilets in my house for bidets. But I would not have done it like this. They are opposite the shower or tub.
I’ve considered making them recessed plugs with covers too. Similar to the type you put outside your home to protect them from rain.

Is there a fund just for that and helping you feed and care for these vaticats that my wife and I can chip into to?

Do you get them spayed?

That doesn’t sound very efficient.
I thought that there was research into systems that convert the heat from a nuclear reactor directly into electricity. Similar to how PV cells convert light into electricity.
This bypasses the need for mechanical systems in nuclear power reactors. No more steam!

When I saw this this, I thought this must be a staged stunt to trick Putin into thinking that he has won. This was designed to get Putin to sign a deal.
I can’t fathom that Trump could be this stupid.
This guy has the power to call off, or on, a nuclear war.
This is too horrific to comprehend.

Those are studio lights then. Not a spotlight. Right?
Sorry. I was thinking it was mighty rude, if not illegal, to have a spotlight to point into the Vatican.

It really bothered me. Attack who? What? And to what end? I don’t know. I assumed the county ballot counting locations. He worked as the GOP observer of his local counting station.

A week before the election I was talking to a friend. He is far right republican. And he owns an impressive arsenal. He told me that if Trump loses, the MAGA army was ready to fight back to assure the election wasn’t stolen a second time.
I believe this to means that they were prepared to attack.

Are you saying that people, or news organizations are able to point spot lights into the Vatican from surrounding rooftops?
