Trump Does Not Rule Out Extending Anti-Drug Operations to Mexico and Colombia cubasi.cu/en/news/trump-does-n…

Firstly: fuck the paywall.

Secondly: I can't tell if the data includes buses being stopped at... well, stops - or if it's only measured over the time the bus is in motion. With the increase of stops in developing suburban areas, the average speed would naturally come down.

I'm not saying that bus speeds aren't coming down, but it's hard to read into the data - especially when the speeds are only a few tenths of a mile per hour slower than pre-pandemic levels.

Similarly, the 48 and 94 routes had seen gaps between buses increase from five to 15 minutes.


Off topic; but as a rural dweller, that made me giggle. An hourly bus is a luxury round here, and that's on an A-road on a rural-to-city route.

in reply to PhobosAnomaly

E.g. the 272 going North on Wood Lane has to cross the A40 intersection. But due to roadworks, the traffic going North is extremely slow. People coming from the A40 fill any gap that opens up and when the lights turn green for the bus, there’s nowhere for the bus to go. I’ve once spent like 20 minutes there without the bus being able to go.

Guy bought a newly released Minelab GoldMonster 2000.
He said he would not keep it if the machine did not pay for itself in short order.
But…. This is a new metal detector, and like any new detector there is a bit of a learning curve, so he was off to a slow start.
He really did not want to have to sell the machine, though, so kept at it, and his perseverance has paid off handsomely.
Has now found 2 oz gold!!!
If anyone has any misgivings about the new GoldMonster 2000, these finds speak for themselves.

AI: the greatest scam in history

"AI’s explosive growth in 2026 is setting off alarm bells. Behind the impressive façade of innovation lies a labyrinth of ecological, economic, and social threats. From skyrocketing energy use to deepening inequality and a looming investment bubble, the AI boom could destabilize society rather than improve it."

"We are entering an age of mass deception in which we routinely lie to each other. In this post-truth hellscape, anyone can create a convincing false narrative and misrepresent, not just the future, but the present. If it carries on like this, we will surely lose faith in photojournalism. How to hold power to account if they can plausibly deny the photos are real?"

Survivre deux fois : l'inceste et le naufrage judiciaire

"En France, moins de 1 % des plaintes pour inceste aboutissent à des condamnations. Pour le reste, le parcours judiciaire inflige une deuxième vague de souffrance aux victimes et à leur parent protecteur, presque toujours les mères.

In all honesty, if you haven't already patched this vulnerability, it's likely too late. As a reminder, patching does not boot attackers, so you should check for indicators of compromise.
