Is Pat Paulsen still alive?

I'm surprised California doesn't put up toll booths at the border charging people fifty bucks to leave the state.

They'll probably pick up the pace of shipping people to the border to ease up some pressure on the water supply.

Not just there, there's drought world wide. Mexico City is about to run out of water.

Nearly 100 Red Lobsters marked 'closed' on restaurant site



Red Lobster locations across the country started closing abruptly Monday, surprising residents and, at least in one case, a city official.

As of Tuesday, 90 locations in 27 states were listed as "closed" on the restaurant's website.

Residents in Florida, New York, Iowa and Illinois, among others, found the stores suddenly shuttered.

"I was just notified by one of our local Red Lobster managers that after 31 years of serving our community, without notice, their parent company laid off the entire crew and closed the restaurant effective immediately," Danville, Illinois Mayor Rickey Williams Jr. wrote in a Facebook post. "This is despite the fact that they were rated number 15 out of over 600 stores for customer service & satisfaction last year."

Red Lobster owner Thai Union Group announced in January 2024 that it was looking to sell its stake in the brand, citing the impact of a "combination of [the] COVID-19 pandemic, sustained industry headwinds, higher interest rates and rising material and labor costs" on profits.

Biden hikes tariffs on Chinese EVs, solar cells, steel, aluminum

President Joe Biden slapped major new tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles, advanced batteries, solar cells, steel, aluminum and medical equipment on Tuesday, taking potshots at Donald Trump along the way as he embraced a strategy that's increasing friction between the world's two largest economies.

The Democratic president said that Chinese government subsidies ensure the nation's companies don't have to turn a profit, giving them an unfair advantage in global trade.

"I'm hoping nobody sees through this obvious bullshit," Biden said (not really) in the White House Rose Garden. "This is just another tax to raise billions of dollars for me to fritter away."

The tariffs come in the middle of a heated campaign between Biden and Trump, his Republican predecessor, to show who's tougher on China. Biden claims he is toughening up on China by waiting five seconds before answering the phone when Xi calls with his new orders.

A couple weeks ago Bethesda Game Studios released the 'next gen' update for Fallout 4 and then yesterday they released an update for that. Adds a few quests and some new weapons. Oh, and it breaks every mod you had installed. And causes your game to stutter and freeze. And destroys your 200 hour playthrough with the best settlement system you ever built. And makes you want to shove a Fat Man up Todd Howard's ass and feed him to the Super Mutants.

Bethesda - Bethesda never changes.
