  1. Hamas just suspended hostage transfer. They do not say it is due to this, but makes you wonder.
  2. Hostage releases suspended. https://www.bbc.com/news/live/c2056vkpkrgt Hamas's statement - in fullpublished at 10:16 10:16 Here's the full statement from Hamas's armed wing: "Over the past three weeks, the leadership of the resistance has monitored the enemy’s violations and its failure to comply with the terms of the agreement. "These violations include delaying the return of displaced persons to northern Gaza, targeting them with shelling and gunfire in various areas of the Strip, and failing to allow the entry of humanitarian aid in all its agreed-upon forms. "Meanwhile, the resistance has fully honoured its commitments. "Accordingly, the release of the Zionist prisoners, which was scheduled for Saturday, February 15, 2025, will be postponed until further notice, pending the enemy’s compliance and the retroactive fulfillment of the past weeks’ obligations. "We reaffirm our commitment to the terms of the agreement as long as the occupation adheres to them." We'll bring you Israel's reaction as soon as we have it.
  3. I am dying listening to this. Keyboard meet coffee laughter. "we broke out of the food chain." "But are we..?" "we are in it." The back and forth for bro-agreements is perfect.
  4. Or they left and went back.
  5. Just thank them and pay the bill.
  6. Nation Building. Speaking to reporters on Air Force One on Sunday, Trump repeated his plan to take over Gaza. "I'm committed to buying and owning Gaza. As far as US rebuilding it, we may give it to other states in the Middle East to build sections of it," he said, while travelling to the Super Bowl. Trump added that he thinks "it's a big mistake to allow people, the Palestinians... to go back another time". "It's a demolition site. It'll be reclaimed. It'll be levelled out, fixed up. There won't be anybody there," Trump said, adding that they will build "beautiful sites" on the land. "People can come from all over the world and live there, but we're going to take care of the Palestinians." https://www.bbc.com/news/live/cd7dwq87zvqt
  7. Just need a 10 year plan right?
  8. At least we are not bitching about the halftime show.
  9. Yes. Usually to someone they may know. Or a thirsty dude trying to impress a coed. Hi, can you watch my dog for a second?
  10. Shows you how often I go there. Fuck that place. Overpriced ammo and jerky.
  11. It is very real. Peruvians (mainly Lima) say they speak Castillian. Ex- MIL (Dominican) was one of those. She would iron her hair to remove any crinkles. Called any hair not straight "bad hair." my daughter with her bad ass curls brought shame to the family. It was illegal in El Salvador until the late 1970's to enter the country if you were black. Exception made for Brazilians who could play soccer. This is still very real.
  12. Why do they all look like they bought their sunglasses at Bass Pro company?
  13. Yeah, probably he does. His dislike for USAID is interesting. Back to assistance. I noted earlier to watch the pivot in aid to be channeled through the church groups. Sounds good on paper I guess, until you see how they work in the field. CARITAS, World Vision, etc. run like corporations including nice R&R, salaries (WV was amazing to consult for) and such. I was in line for a field gig with one of them. During the interview I was asked if I was married. I said no, divorced. "Did I have a GF." Yes I said. "Did we fornicate," the recruiter asked. Yes I said. Silence. "Oh, we will have to look into your background to make sure you fit the moral requirements." I laughed, ended up consulting for them instead. All I will say is it was borderline lawyer pay. I lasted 4 months before being told I did not fit. Rationale? we had a deadline and I mentioned we were going to miss it if the entire US based team went on the retreat vs. finishing the project.
  14. tree fifty in credits.
  15. Round up. Profit.
  16. Betty in purchasing can explain it to you. Corporate America loves Dell.
  17. but of course they will round up.
  18. Make them into pendants and sell them as pieces of Americana.
  19. I like cats. But they don't belong in a bar/cafe. Nor does your obnoxious puppy or rottweiler. Next time I hear "can you watch my dog" going to say sure, then leave with it.
  20. People who say bye by waving both arms. Oh, and stop carrying your cat around in a backpack.
  21. Let it go. He is reliving his Stalin dreams while on a ketamine high.
  22. Yep, covid is making a run hard through my town. And no one gives a fuck. Cool, ya got covid? Meet me at the bar and lets catch a game. I will get you a hot toddy.
  23. Efficiency. Tens of thousands of tons of food purchased through a federal program to feed hungry people overseas is stuck at a warehouse in Houston's port after President Donald Trump ordered a 90-day pause on foreign aid, according to an email from an international food agency and an employee with the U.S. Agency for International Development. The pause comes as the Trump administration moves to dismantle USAID, one of the world's largest government aid organizations. The organization spends hundreds of millions of dollars each year through its Food for Peace program to distribute surplus crops from American farmers around the globe, according to the Congressional Research Service. The food stuck in Houston totaled more than 31,000 tons and was part of more than 500,000 tons of food valued at $450 million now at risk of going to waste, according to the email from the international agency, which was reviewed by Hearst Newspapers. USAID food shipments are also being held up at seven other U.S. ports, including Boston, New York and Miami. https://www.houstonchronicle.com/politics/article/usaid-trump-houston-port-20152041.php
