If using @grapheneos.org Duress PIN is illegal when detained, how would a Dead Man's PIN be seen? Before entering customs, with no expectation of being searched, activate feature that requires you to enter a PIN every {Y} minutes to PREVENT the factory wipe. cybernews.com/privacy/grap...
GrapheneOS stands by phone wipe feature as case looms
GrapheneOS defends its duress password feature as constitutional amid a US border case, while dismissing decoy accounts as ineffective against forensics.

www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... Lemme see. 2012 agreement said 100% surplus pays debt, takes 50 yrs, then revenue is split 🇨🇦 /🦆. Now T47 takes 50% revenue/ 15 yrs. Rest same. So payoff takes longer. Spose 0% interest on loan (🇨🇦 =nice), T47 just stole 8 years of tolls from Michi🦆s! Hiway robbery!
How new Gordie Howe bridge deal compares with 2012 pact. Here's a breakdown of how things will work | CBC News
Feeling lost when it comes to recent news about the Gordie Howe International Bridge? Earlier this month, Canada and the U.S. announced a fresh pact to open the bridge connecting Ontario and Michigan....

There are a bunch of air polluting wild fires in Oregon and Washington - can those states be given to Canada? Or will there be tariffs?
@nytimes.com says T47 "officials said the taxes were punishment ...3 U.S. industries: motor vehicles, dairy and alcohol" using "Section 338 of the Tariff Act of 1930... 50% on imports from countries that discriminate against U.S. commerce uniquely, as compared to other countries."

What is more likely: "Sir, I was below deck, shaving my beard, I couldn't return fire" or "Sir, my beard got caught in the machine gun, I couldn't return fire"??? Good to know that the Secretary of Defense is looking out for the (photo OP) readiness of our troops.
I'm fine with folks not having to pay property taxes. But then they cannot leave their property, can't get stuff delivered to them, no stuff removed from the property, including sewage, unless they pay a toll for any part of the inbound or outbound trip that touches county land.
"The developers were adding 19 stories to the original 10-story tower at 219 East 42nd." (tripling the height?) What could possibly go wrong? Oh... www.nytimes.com/live/2026/07...

Cabo Verde tied Spain and took Argentina to extra time. That entire team should hold their heads high.
Oh man, will this time capsule thing be admired... Whale bone? You mean the thing that died out right after the dinosaurs?
I'm sorry, but "striving" seems to be the wrong state to be in. My train should not "strive" to arrive. My hospital should not "strive" to get treatment before I die. My creditors view "striving to pay cuz striving to find a decent income" poorly. That is not what a successful country is.
I'm confused. Isn't "textualist, originalist" usually a positive attribute for the Republicans, or is it only so when the OUTCOME is acceptable to them?
I also want to draw parallels between the current president and Nixon. History repeats itself, right?
The current monarch in Britain released his personal income taxes. The current monarch in the US has not.

I've been seeing this ad for many years. I'm concerned. What happened on all the other Saturdays on which I didn't do "this"???
I suggest that Hegseth become our next attorney general. It would solve our prison overflow problem, and reduce the incarceration rate back to civilized levels. Maybe I should write for the Onion.
I've said it before: The Onion has a problem being what it used to be... Is this an Onion article, a WSJ article, or a Newsmax article?
1/ Can AI help researchers check whether published social science results actually reproduce? In our new PNAS paper, we tested this directly in the AI Replication Games: 288 researchers, 103 teams, and real replication packages from quantitative social science.
