Propos glaçants de Donald Trump lors de sa rencontre avec Netanyahu :
• 1. Gaza réduite à un « immobilier de valeur », Trump décrit la bande de Gaza comme une « incroyable pièce d’immobilier », niant totalement qu’il s’agisse d’un territoire peuplé, meurtri, et ravagé par la guerre.
• 2. Il évoque l’idée que les États-Unis puissent « contrôler et posséder » Gaza — comme on s’approprierait un terrain vide, sans âme, sans peuple.
• 3. Gaza vue comme une propriété, pas comme une terre habitée
Aucune mention des Palestiniens, de leurs souffrances, de leur droit à exister. Seulement une terre à exploiter et à dominer.
• 4. Il suggère que les États-Unis s’imposent à Gaza au nom de la « paix » — après avoir armé et soutenu l’État qui a ravagé cette même bande de Gaza.
Pour Trump, Gaza n’est ni un drame humain, ni une tragédie. C’est une opportunité immobilière. L’impérialisme, à visage découvert.
L’entraînement était comme balayer le sol. Ce n’est pas parce que vous l’avez balayé une fois que le sol sera propre à tout jamais. Chaque jour, la poussière y retombe. Chaque jour, nous devons balayer.
Trump vante la solution finale du génocide à Gaza « dans un futur proche » et promet d’avoir Gaza « gratuitement » et d’en faire un « joyaux de l’immobilier ».
Il n’y a rien rien à attendre des corrompus, le monde doit contrer🇮🇱 et aider Gaza MAINTENANT!

@ChemTrailsMN, our dear friend, had a major operation last week and many of you have not sent our long-time brother a heartfelt, GET WELL SOON message, so please do so RIGHT NOW!
Je ne suis pas d'accord politiquement avec Verhaeghe, mais ses analyses sont toujours excellentes 😀
"Il y a un certain nombre d'années que des gens nous disent que le vrai Trump n'est pas celui qu'on voit et en réalité, le vrai Trump, c'est celui qu'on voit : c'est un mec qui soutient le pire en Israël, c'est un mec qui au fond, ne parvient pas à se faire respecter de Poutine, et c'est un mec qui va faire payer les pauvres à la place des riches, et qui est là pour défendre un conglomérat de mecs de la tech qui font du capitalisme de connivence"
C'est ce que voudrait les globalistes, mais pour l'instant on ne peut pas parler d'échec de la politique de Trump que la classe bourgeoise actuelle essaye et essayera encore de le faire échouer est évident, qu'ils aient les moyens de le faire sans se planter eux-même n'est pas évident, il leur faudrait maintenir leur pression pendant des semaines et probablement des mois, une pression qui leur fera perdre des fortunes
Par ailleurs, des barrières douanières sont le moyen de re-rendre l'économie intérieure rentable... et ça ça pourrait bien sauver les américains
Les choix iconographiques d’Orient XXI concernant la guerre génocidaire menée par Israël dans la bande de Gaza visent à restituer une voix aux Palestiniens. (…)

In the small town of Kawara in Fukuoka Prefecture, something unexpected is happening at the Saidosho Community Center. While kids in most parts of Japan are obsessed with Pokémon cards — or perhaps the franchise’s latest smartphone game, Pokémon TCG Pocket — the children of Kawara are clutching to something a little closer to home.
They are playing a trading card game (TCG) where the stars aren’t fantasy creatures, anime heroes or even famous baseball players, but ojisan (middle-aged or older men) from the local community of Saidosho.
The quiet, occasionally-class-skipping student watched this discussion with keen interest. After class, as people filtered out of the room, she hung back and asked to talk to me. And then she disclosed that she had a mental illness and was actively working to treat it. She was busy with therapy and switching medications, and all the side effects that entails. Sometimes, she was not able to leave the house or sit still in a classroom for hours. She didn't dare tell her other professors that this was why she was missing classes and late, sometimes, on assignments; they'd think she was using her illness as an excuse. But she trusted me to understand.
And I did. And I was so, so angry that this student was made to feel responsible for her symptoms. She was balancing a full course load, a part-time job, and ongoing, serious mental health treatment. And she was capable of intuiting her needs and communicating them with others. She was a fucking badass, not a lazy fuck. I told her so.

Today's most advanced AI systems require around 25,000 GPUs requiring about 10Megawatts of power. Each GPU has about 80 billion transistors. So we talking about 2^14 transistors, and each one can cycle on off more than a billion times in a second.
By contrast, the human brain has about 66 billion brain cells and uses about 30 watts of power.
Seems to me the AI algorithm must be tremendously inefficient to require this much hardware and energy to only do part of what a human can do even though it can do what it can do much faster than a human.
This from @heidilifeldman runs consistent with my own personal suspicion: today’s SCOTUS ruling is not an indication of what Roberts thinks about the issue at hand, so much as an attempt by Roberts to avoid for as long as possible taking any kind of definitive stand on Trump’s grabs for unchecked power. Procrastinating on the constitutional crisis, basically. mastodon.social/@heidilifeldma…
I’m sure that Roberts himself is hoping that somehow the Court can duck taking a position on the lower court’s jurisdiction and on the remedy it specified, the order to return Abrego Garcia.

Athens, Greece : Update on Health of Comrades Marianna M. and Dimitra Z.
DEPRIVING PRISONERS OF MEDICAL CARE IS TORTURE
Hands off anarchist comrades Marianna M. and Dimitra Z.
On 31/10/24, following an explosion in an apartment in Ampelokipi, the anarchist armed fighter Kyriakos Xymitiris fell in the battle for social and class liberation, while the anarchist comrade Marianna M., who was also in the apartment, was severely injured, hospitalised and guarded in the ICU of the “Evangelismos” General Hospital. The following days, comrades Dimitra Z., Dimitris and Nikos R., as well as A.K., were remanded in custody.
From the very beginning, state violence was applied to comrade Marianna. With her transfer to Korydallos women’s prison just one day after the second operation she underwent, her hospitalisation was violently interrupted while she still had open wounds on her face, she could not walk or fully care for herself, was dizzy and in pain. The “Evangelismos” General Hospital discharged her as a patient in this condition, knowing full well the miserable environment of the prison to which she would be transferred, where there is not even any kind of hospital and therefore no possibility of providing her with extremely necessary medical care before she fully recovers.
Her torture in Korydallos prison continues to this day. Her serious health condition, as well as the risk of long-term complications, are the result of the deprivation of necessary medical post-operative care. From the very beginning they deprived her of the provision of pharmaceuticals and forced her to stay in cells full of cockroaches, in extremely poor sanitary conditions. While to this day – four months later – necessary and urgent diagnostic tests have not been initiated. To her request to be assessed by a doctor and immediately initiate a brain CT scan requested by an outside doctor who visited her a long time ago, the response of the prison neurologist was “if you don’t fall down with an epileptic seizure, we won’t take you to hospital.” A response that accurately reflects the condition of vindictiveness, punishment, and torture that the rulers impose on anyone who finds themselves captured in the cells of democracy.
To the already heavy situation of confinement was added the appearance of intense rashes and itching in comrade Dimitra. A short time later, the comrade Marianna also showed similar symptoms and only then was the diagnosis of scabies made, while they have been torturing Dimitra for two months with their icy indifference, attributing the symptoms to psychological reasons and administering sedatives to her without having ruled out pathological causes.
The climax of the insult to our comrades was the torture suffered by the comrade Dimitra on Saturday 29/3 evening. After showing a sharp deterioration in her symptoms and developing a fever, she was transferred to Korydallos “Agios Pavlos” hospital, where – among other things – the doctor in charge addressed her by saying “for us you are just numbers”, indicating the already well-known perception of such scumbags about the lives of prisoners. Despite these conditions, the comrade demanded and achieved the obvious, her transfer to the Nikaia State Hospital.
In a clear decision to exacerbate the physical and psychological exhaustion of the comrade, the EOM, following central orders, called the hospital doctors to the transport van, inside which the comrade suffered the torture of a dermatological and gynecological examination using cell phone lenses and in the presence of the cops, with the comrade repeatedly asking them to turn away during the “examination”-torture. She was then transferred to the pathology clinic, as it was deemed necessary to carry out medical examinations. When the comrade requested to speak to the doctor again regarding a problem, the cops refused, saying “we know what they told you, there’s no need.” Tension prevailed, in which a nurse was involved in defending the comrade, who, true to their thuggish methods, the cops pushed away and took the comrade back to the prison.
The comrades are walking the path that hundreds of prisoners take when they are imprisoned. Their torture reminds us of how the state apparatus takes revenge on those who challenge its monopoly of violence, but also on those it considers “excessive”. The sadistic way of treating and torturing prisoners through the deprivation of medical care is yet another means of trying to discipline and oppress them. The lives of prisoners are devalued, considered inferior, thrown to the sidelines, forcing them to claim the obvious and pushing them towards deterioration, physical and mental extermination.
In Korydallos women’s prison, the medical examinations performed on prisoners are minimal and superficial, while when examinations are required in hospital, the wait can be up to three months. In addition, many of the treatments that prisoners were undergoing before being imprisoned are generally prohibited and forcibly interrupted, with serious consequences for their health. The necessary medication that each one needs is prescribed by the prison doctors, but the medicines finally reach the prisoners after even two months. Ultimately, as is largely the case outside the walls, access to basic medical care acquires clear class characteristics, since prisoners are forced to resort to external private doctors to visit them in prison, a process that only those who have the corresponding financial means can support. The rest, the majority, are left to their own devices, victims of the indifference, bureaucracy and vindictiveness of the state machine. Such impositions of state power clearly constitute torture and potential murder.
We remember the dozens of murders of prisoners due to lack of medical care and utter neglect, the dozens of immigrants who are murdered daily in concentration camps, detention centres and police stations, the suicides and the hundreds of complaints by prisoners about inhumane and unsanitary conditions inside prisons. The examples are many and fresh in our memory.
However, we also remember the hundreds of struggles and uprisings carried out by prisoners inside prisons, the fighters who gave their lives to demand basic needs and care inside the cells of democracy. Struggles that continue to this day and will find us by their side, uniting our voices with those of the prisoners.
Comrade Dimitra needs immediate hospitalisation, while comrade Marianna must be taken immediately for a brain CT scan. The administration of Korydallos women’s prison with director Triantafylli Konstantopoulou, the “Evangelismos” General Prison with commander Anastasios Grigoropoulos and deputy Batis Veniamin, the State Hospital of Nikaia as well as the Ministries of Health and Pro.Po. (ministry of justice) bear full responsibility for the torture of our comrades, for the serious risk of deterioration of their health – but also of not fully recovering – to which they have been exposed. We make it clear in all directions, whatever happens to them will have consequences and will not go unanswered.
HANDS OFF THE ANARCHIST PRISONERS MARIANNA M.
AND DIMITRA Z.

@sellathechemist There must be a better cost-benefit (or time-benefit?) ratio to be had than this though? It feels like I am digging up useful information, formulating useful proposals... but none of the right people listen?
Someone I met the other day on my #CrossChannelRail project said “but surely these wannabe rivals to Eurostar are beating a path to your door to get the information you have!" and the answer was “Hell no!”
Of the four of them, 1 I have had a decent conversation with (because I used to work with one of their people). 2 have politely told me they have nothing to say (comms initiated by me). 1 I have had no contact with whatsoever.
I've been following you for a while and I've been wondering the same thing. That said I really appreciate your effort and interesting posts and I believe your work will benefit inter-European transportation.
It's a shame that you didn't get the chance to candidate for a seat at the EP (if I recall that right, you tried). EP would have been the right place for you.
I suspect the problem is that they see you as someone who wants a better rail service. This is not their goal. They either want more money (private operator) or a quiet life (public).
You are doing an amazing work, but I share in your frustration. There's little point if people don't know you as the European rail guru.
That being said, until recently, you were with Grüne, and that may be part of the disadvantage, inasmuch as they may see you as having a political career in mind. It's rare in these spheres that people don't have an ulterior motive, and however much you may claim otherwise, they won't believe you don't.
Of those options you've laid out, the easiest to get into is consultancy. This can happen either directly with the train companies directly, or as a think tank that is consulted by governments. Neither of them seem to be easy to get into. Your best bet is to find a corporate or NGO sponsor who can get you into the right networking opportunities. Maybe when you talk to people like Starline, that's the sort of quid pro quo you should be asking for. Your value to them is as much in who you know as in what you know.

In the competitive world of the mining and aggregate industry, cost-effectiveness and efficiency are the driving forces behind the success of any operation. One of the most significant investments a business can make is in a mobile crusher. With the ability to process materials directly on-site, mobile crushers, such as the mobile stone crusher, offer the potential to generate high returns on investment (ROI). In this article, we will explore how a mobile crusher can quickly recover its investment cost and become a valuable asset for aggregate production.
The Benefits of a Mobile Crusher for Aggregate Production
When it comes to managing a successful aggregate plant, reducing operational costs and increasing productivity are always at the forefront. Mobile crushers(trituradora movil de piedra), including advanced models equipped with impact crushers, can help achieve both goals. These mobile units are designed to be easily transported from one site to another, enabling mining operations to move their crushing capabilities to where the materials are, instead of transporting the materials to a stationary plant. This not only cuts down on transport costs but also reduces material handling time.
For businesses operating in the aggregate sector, a mobile stone crusher offers several advantages, particularly in terms of cost efficiency. Let’s look at the ways mobile crushers can help recover their investment quickly.
Key Factors for Fast ROI with Mobile Crushers
1. Reduced Transportation Costs
One of the biggest expenses in the aggregate industry is transporting raw materials to a stationary plant for processing. Mobile crushers, however, can be relocated to the site where the material is being extracted, eliminating the need for long-distance transport. By processing materials on-site, the transportation costs for both raw and processed aggregates are significantly reduced, which immediately impacts the bottom line.
For example, when working with a mobile stone crusher, you can avoid the costs of hauling crushed materials from a distant site to the plant. This can be particularly beneficial for remote projects, reducing logistics expenses and minimizing delays.
2. Increased Productivity and Flexibility
Mobile crushers offer incredible flexibility and can be deployed quickly on any site. With high mobility, these machines can be moved from one site to another in a matter of hours or days, allowing businesses to handle multiple projects without long downtime. This flexibility increases the plant’s productivity by ensuring that material processing continues without unnecessary interruptions.
Moreover, advanced models, such as those equipped with impact crushers(chancadora de impacto), provide faster and more efficient crushing, further enhancing throughput and reducing operational costs. With increased production rates, businesses can meet demand more effectively, which accelerates the recovery of the initial investment.
3. Lower Operating and Maintenance Costs
The design of mobile crushers incorporates simplicity and efficiency, which translates into lower operating and maintenance costs. Mobile crushers are often easier to maintain than stationary crushers, thanks to their compact design and ability to be serviced at the job site itself. Additionally, mobile crushers often feature modern, user-friendly control systems that streamline operations and reduce the risk of costly downtime.
By choosing a high-quality mobile stone crusher that is reliable and built for easy maintenance, companies can reduce repair costs and avoid expensive service interruptions, which in turn helps recover the investment more quickly.
4. Ability to Process a Variety of Materials
A mobile crusher is versatile and can handle various types of materials, such as rocks, minerals, and construction debris. The impact crusher is especially effective in crushing materials that are harder or more abrasive, providing superior performance even in challenging conditions. This versatility increases the utilization of the machine, as it can be used for multiple projects across different industries, from mining operations to construction and demolition.
This adaptability allows businesses to take on more projects, increasing their revenue potential. The ability to handle a wide range of materials means that a mobile crusher can continue to generate income long after its initial purchase, providing sustained ROI.
The Bottom Line: Fast ROI with Mobile Crushers
The speed at which a mobile crusher can recover its investment cost depends on several factors, including the frequency of use, the types of materials processed, and the efficiency of the machine. However, with the reduced transportation and operational costs, increased productivity, and versatility that mobile crushers provide, it’s clear that they offer a fast-track path to ROI in the aggregate industry.
For businesses looking to invest in equipment that maximizes profitability, a mobile stone crusher is a valuable tool. Not only does it reduce transport and operating costs, but it also enhances productivity, making it a highly cost-effective solution for any aggregate plant(planta de agregados).
In conclusion, by leveraging the benefits of mobile crushers, companies in the mining and aggregate industry can quickly recover their investment costs while boosting their overall productivity and profitability. The ability to bring crushing operations directly to the source material ensures that these machines deliver a solid return, all while contributing to the efficiency of the entire operation.

This'll piss off center-left Dems but the silence former presidential candidates have right now are wild. And Barack's "now if it was me" versus standing with actual citizens and speaking to them instead at a elevated interview space is such a slap in the face of people.
The leadership of the Democrats only see all of this as a marketing ploy for 2028. If they even attempt to insulate what damage the radical Republicans are doing.
This is to additionally say, to continuously blame Trump voters SOLELY is to also ignore the failure and thinness of the Democratic campaign to go wide and instead flail on a patriotic campaign.
Biden should have dropped out sooner (ego). They should have given Kamala more time (even though I don't agree with 80% of her shit), her campaign had so much marketing weight and it was blown on coconuts from a fucking tree.
@violetmadder The Dems lost an incumbent, well-funded election to a twice-impeached convicted felon. Then they approved his cabinet choices and sat on their asses while he gutted the executive branch, lied to courts, and tanked wall street with tariffs.

In the fast-paced world of construction, adaptability is key. Mobile concrete plants have become a game-changing solution for projects that require on-site concrete production with frequent relocation. Unlike traditional batching facilities, a mobile concrete plant can be transported from one construction site to another, providing flexibility and efficiency that traditional plants simply cannot match. But how do these mobile plants move between locations so smoothly, and what makes them suitable for dynamic work environments? Let’s explore how mobility is engineered into modern mobile batching plants and how they support construction operations across multiple sites.
The Design Principles Behind Mobile Concrete Plants
To ensure mobility, mobile batching plants are designed with compactness, ease of transport, and rapid installation in mind. Most mobile plants(planta de concreto móvil precio) are mounted on trailers or skids, allowing them to be towed by trucks or transported via containers. This modular design ensures that all essential components—aggregate bins, cement silos, conveyors, mixers, and control panels—can be packed and moved efficiently.
For contractors looking for flexible batching solutions, a small type concrete plant offers the ideal balance between portability and production capacity. These smaller units are perfect for minor roadworks, bridge repairs, or rural developments, where transporting large volumes of concrete is impractical or too costly.
Key Steps in Moving a Mobile Concrete Plant
1. Dismantling and Preparation
Before relocation, the plant is shut down and cleaned. Essential components like aggregate bins and cement silos are emptied, and electrical systems are powered off. Any detachable parts are disassembled and secured for safe transport.
Since mobile plants are modular, dismantling them requires significantly less time and effort compared to traditional fixed plants. Most systems are engineered with quick-release connections for hydraulic, pneumatic, and electrical systems, speeding up the process.
2. Loading and Transportation
Once dismantled, the individual components are loaded onto flatbed trucks or inside standard containers. For trailer-mounted plants, the entire unit can often be towed directly to the new location without disassembly. This is particularly useful for small- and medium-scale mobile units that are self-contained.
Some mobile plants can be transported using just one or two vehicles, depending on size and complexity. This feature reduces fuel costs and minimizes coordination challenges during the move.
3. Site Preparation at the New Location
Upon arrival at the new site, the first step is preparing a stable foundation. Mobile concrete plants don’t typically require deep foundations like stationary plants, but they do need level ground for stability and accurate batching.
Once the foundation is ready, the components are offloaded and positioned. Thanks to the pre-configured modular layout, this step is straightforward and can be completed within a day for smaller units.
4. Reassembly and Testing
The reassembly process involves reconnecting power systems, calibration of load cells, and checking for leaks or wear. Mixing equipment and weighing systems are tested to ensure everything operates smoothly.
Once the system passes functional checks, it's ready to resume production. This entire relocation process—from dismantling to reactivation—can take as little as 1–3 days, depending on the size of the plant and site conditions.
The Benefits of Easy Relocation
Mobile batching plants allow companies to maintain productivity even when operating across remote or short-term job sites. This level of convenience reduces the need for concrete transportation and ensures fresh material is available exactly when needed. For those seeking a ready mix concrete plant for sale(planta de concreto premezclado en venta), mobile models offer a significant edge by minimizing downtime between projects.
Additionally, mobile plants enhance logistics by reducing reliance on third-party suppliers. With in-house production capabilities, project managers can control the schedule, reduce waste, and avoid delays due to traffic or supply chain interruptions.
When to Choose a Mobile Concrete Plant
A mobile concrete plant is ideal for construction firms that:
Work on multiple small-to-medium-sized projects in different regions
Require flexibility without compromising on concrete quality
Need fast setup and dismantling times to meet tight deadlines
Want to minimize operational costs related to concrete delivery
Moreover, a small type concrete plant(planta de concreto pequeña) is especially beneficial for companies with limited equipment or smaller crews. These plants are easier to manage, cost-effective, and still offer excellent batching precision and mix consistency.
Conclusion
The ability of mobile concrete plants to move swiftly between job sites makes them a smart investment for modern construction companies. With rapid setup, reduced transportation needs, and on-site production capabilities, they offer both operational efficiency and adaptability. Whether you're handling rural infrastructure work or fast-paced urban development, choosing a ready mix concrete plant for sale with mobile features can give your team the freedom to produce high-quality concrete wherever the project takes you.

Change from standard SSH root user to enter mySQL management as root rootname@VPShosting:~# mysql create a DB with user and paswordMariaDB \[(none)\]> `CREATE DATABASE friendicadb;` MariaDB \[(none)\]> `CREATE USER 'friendica'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '';` MariaDB \[(none)\]> `GRANT ALL ON friendicadb.* TO 'friendica'@'localhost';` MariaDB \[(none)\]> `FLUSH PRIVILEGES;` MariaDB \[(none)\]> `EXIT;`
The folder name in the VPS folder structure in /var/www/for the domains can be choosen as you like, for example:
/var/www/domaincom/ All apache tutorials found in a quick search do choose the domain or subdomain name including the respective dot's like this:
/var/www/domain.com/
Both options are possible for a correct working environment. @Ⓜ3️⃣3️⃣ 🌌 pointed out that for automatization scripts it's usefull to keep that consistent and there for to use FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name) as part of the path. Never the less, to keep the concepts of domain URL's and folder names seperate and to prevent the notion that the domain name syntax is mandatory we will stick with simple folder names in this #tutorial.
The naming of the .conf files in /etc/apache2/sites-available/ refer to the actual domain names and their settings. [Even tho these .conf file names also could be chosen probably at will?], as the definitions about the actual domains refereed are given inside those files, we'll stick to the real sub/domain names in this case as it's quite reasonable and logical to do so.
We will address the details for a step by step change from a single VPS single IP domain hosting to a multiple name-based single IP virtual hosting in answers to this topic:
Inicial VPS domain hosting served at: /var/www/html/
Name-based virtual hosting domain VPS where several domains are served by one IP, leaving /html in place if a client request doesn’t match any other sites, like proposed in this digitalOcean tutorial: /var/www/html/ as fall back option /var/www/domaincom/index.html /var/www/subdomaincom/index.html /var/www/domainorg/ original friendica installation /var/www/subdomainorg/index.html

I don't know, but I highly recommend reading the full paper. Here is what the authors say on that:
"Our forecast from the current day through 2026 is substantially more grounded than what follows. This is partially because it’s nearer. But it’s also because the effects of AI on the world really start to compound in 2027. For 2025 and 2026, our forecast is heavily informed by extrapolating straight lines on compute scaleups, algorithmic improvements, and benchmark performance. At this point in the scenario, we begin to see major effects from AI-accelerated AI-R&D on the timeline, which causes us to revise our guesses for the trendlines upwards. But these dynamics are inherently much less predictable.
Over the course of 2027, the AIs improve from being able to mostly do the job of an OpenBrain research engineer to eclipsing all humans at all tasks. This represents roughly our median guess, but we think it’s plausible that this happens up to ~5x slower or faster.
AI 2027 predicts generally superintelligent AIs in 2028. This supplement introduces our framework for thinking about the progression from AIs that are superhuman coders to generally superintelligent, and justifies why we think it's plausible the prog…
@mikeToday I did a $150 Drawing for someone who probably doesn't know about the ChatGPT 4o art generator.
Prompt I received was: "Roller Derby If possible, with the number 911 and name “Boomslang.”"
I texted it to Cori, who then put a similar prompt into ChatGPT. But he asked for a "middle aged woman" first for some reason: "A cartoon of a roller derby woman. She is middle aged with curly hair wearing all protective gear. The cartoon is black-and-white in the style of the movies Sita Sings the Blues and/or Seder Masochism." He was not as impressed with the results as I was; I especially liked the 3-legged one. I asked him to request Ghibli style and make her younger. The result should please anyone wanting custom art. Finally he requested a Betty Boop version, stippled instead of grayscale.
My point is, AI art has already turned my world upside-down, and anyone who doesn't recognize its power is in denial or not paying attention. I knew this from the moment I saw the early DALL-E image of the astronaut riding a horse. I knew things would never be the same. People replied to me, "but all the extra fingers!" like that problem wouldn't be solved swiftly.
I'm not opposed to AI, just in awe of it. In some ways I am ahead of the game, having been canceled since 2017. I have already adjusted to obscurity. I admit to some schadenfreude anticipating the mediocre artists who canceled me -- for canceling is nowhere more extreme and vicious than in the arts, my former industries of animation, illustration, and comics having fully excommunicated me -- soon to lose everything because of AI, like I lost everything to them being assholes. At least they're losing to something smarter and more talented than themselves; I didn't have that pleasure.
how come ChatGPT will draw "in style of Studio Ghibli" and "Sita Sings the Blues and Seder Masochism" but not "Questionable Content"? It says "copyright violation."
My partners espresso machine had an electrical fire last month.
Decided to fix it myself and long story short, $65 in parts and a trip to Autozone she has a working espresso machine again.
Makes me wonder if I could help others locally save money by helping them repair things.
Side note I was very happy to see Autozone still has their DEI in place. I checked before going because no company who shuttered DEI is getting a penny from our pockets.
Hi I just read the following data point and now I’m angry so you need to read it and be angry too:
“During the pandemic, governments instituted eviction moratoriums, deployed emergency rental assistance, expanded unemployment assistance and the Child Tax Credit, and issued cash directly to millions of lower-income Americans.
IN EFFECT, POVERTY DROPPED BY 45%.”
(Screamy caps my emphasis not theirs)
So not only do we KNOW what works, we have data to support it working HERE.
Back home for all but a night or so of the next three weeks. 😌 Nice to sink back in here. Hauled everything up the hill in one go and then, after unpacking, lay on my cot for a long while, listening to the breeze and critters and watching the interplay of light and laurel-shadow on Der Wilderbunker.
Let’s explore the essentials of filing requirements, their importance, and how a company secretary or corporate secretarial services can keep you on course.
Running a business in Singapore is like navigating a ship through dynamic seas. You have your team, compass, and a destination, but what happens when the winds shift? For companies registered with the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA), these shifts often involve updates to company information. Whether it’s appointing a new director, changing your registered address, or modifying your share structure, keeping ACRA informed is not just a good practice—it’s a legal obligation. Let’s explore the essentials of filing requirements, their importance, and how a company secretary or corporate secretarial services can keep you on course.
The Importance of Keeping ACRA Updated
Picture this: you’ve moved your office to a prestigious location in Marina Bay, but ACRA still lists your address as a cramped office in Jurong. Or perhaps your CFO has retired to enjoy life on a beach, and a new leader is in charge. If ACRA’s records aren’t updated, you risk more than minor inconveniences—you could face confusion, delays, and even penalties that were entirely preventable.
ACRA isn’t just a bureaucratic entity; it’s a cornerstone of transparency in Singapore’s business environment, ensuring everyone from investors to suppliers knows who they’re dealing with. Keeping your company information current helps maintain this transparency and protect your reputation. Plus, no one wants to explain to a potential partner why their records seem outdated.
What Changes Require Filing?
So, what changes necessitate filing with ACRA? The list is more extensive than you might expect. Beyond major shifts like a new CEO or a rebranding effort, even minor adjustments can trigger a filing requirement. Here’s a breakdown:
Directors and Officers: Appointing or removing a director, or even updating their personal details, needs to be recorded.
Registered Address: If you’ve moved, ACRA needs to know where to send correspondence or inspectors.
Share Capital: Issuing new shares or changing ownership stakes requires filing.
Company Name: Rebranding? You’ll need approval and a filing to make it official.
Constitution Updates: Any changes to your company’s rulebook must be reported.
Filing deadlines are strict. Most changes, such as director appointments or resignations, must be filed within 14 days. Missing this window can result in late fees or more severe consequences. The difference between seamless compliance and a scramble often comes down to diligent monitoring.
The Role of the Company Secretary
Here’s where a company secretary becomes invaluable. If you’re a small business owner juggling multiple tasks, tracking ACRA deadlines might seem overwhelming. Enter the company secretary—the unsung hero of corporate compliance. Required by Singapore’s Companies Act, a company secretary is essential for ensuring compliance. They don’t just sign documents or attend meetings; they are your first line of defense against compliance issues.
Think of them as your ship’s navigator. They understand the rules, have the roadmap, and will alert you when it’s time to adjust course. Filing updates with ACRA? They handle it—often before you even realize there’s something to file. If hiring a full-time company secretary isn’t feasible, corporate secretarial services can offer the same expertise without the overhead. It’s like having a professional on standby, ready to tackle paperwork so you can focus on growing your business.
Filing with ACRA: A Practical Guide
Filing with ACRA isn’t a complex ritual—it’s entirely digital, thanks to BizFile+. You’ll need a CorpPass to access it, and from there, it’s about completing the correct forms. Sounds straightforward, right? It is—until you realize the importance of details.
Take a director change, for instance. You’ll need their full name, ID number, nationality, and more. A single mistake can cause your filing to be rejected. Corporate secretarial services excel here—they’ve mastered this process and can ensure everything is correct on the first try. For those who prefer a DIY approach, ACRA’s website provides guides to assist you, though it won’t hold your hand throughout.
The Consequences of Non-Compliance
Ignoring ACRA’s filing rules isn’t like skipping a dentist appointment; you can’t just reschedule. Late filings incur penalties, starting at $50 and increasing the longer you delay. Worse, prolonged negligence can lead to ACRA striking your company off the register. This isn’t a scare tactic; it’s a reality. Imagine explaining to your team or investors why your business no longer exists. Not a pleasant conversation.
Moreover, outdated information can damage trust. Suppliers might hesitate to extend credit, partners might question your reliability, and customers might doubt your professionalism. In Singapore, where reputation is key, that’s a risk you don’t want to take.
Compliance: More Than Just Rules
Compliance isn’t solely about rules—it’s about people. Behind every filing is a story. Perhaps it’s a founder stepping down or a startup moving to its first real office. These changes are milestones, not just data points. A good company secretary services Singapore understands this, helping you narrate your company’s story through ACRA’s requirements. It adds a human touch to what could otherwise feel like a mundane task.
Staying Ahead
To keep your business on track, don’t rely on chance. Set reminders for key deadlines, or better yet, rely on your company secretary to manage them. Regularly check your records on BizFile+ to prevent headaches. Don’t hesitate to outsource; corporate secretarial services are a lifeline for startups and SMEs alike.
Finally, embrace the process. Filing changes with ACRA isn’t just busywork—it’s evidence that your business is alive and evolving. Isn’t that worth a little effort?
Conclusion
While not the most glamorous part of managing a business, complying with ACRA's filing obligations is essential in Singapore. Whether you’re updating your boardroom or relocating your office, keeping ACRA informed ensures your legitimacy and smooth operations. A company secretary or corporate secretarial services can make this process painless, allowing you to focus on what you do best. So, when changes arise, don’t worry. File it, forget it, and return to steering your ship. After all, in business, the journey matters—but only if you have the paperwork to prove it.
"As an Army veteran, I've been told by other vets who've met Gary Sinise, that he's humble, compassionate, and listens. A lot of vets don't talk about past experiences, because we're surrounded by folks that don't have these qualities or understand what it means to serve. Mr. Sinise, you are a Patriot, an American treasure and highly appreciated!"
Gary Sinise has won a Primetime Emmy Award, a Golden Globe Award, a Tony Award, and four Screen Actors Guild Awards for his on screen performances. He has al...
"In 2007, Lt Dan came by my working place at Hospital in Balad AB, Iraq. I can honestly say I didn't know who Gary Sinise until I saw his name tag the the uniform he wore which was Lt. Dan. He touched my heart just knowing that he visited all the patients in our Tent City Hospital in Balad and deeply care for each one. His eyes got watery at some point and I knew then that his actions were sincere. Thank you, Gary Sinise for recognizing our combat veterans!"
Mr. Sinise, thru his foundation, provided a home for my Wounded Warrior son, when he came home from Iraq totally blind & having lost his dominate left arm. My son was EOD & was gravely injured by a roadside bomb. For mos we were not sure if he would make it, but being the tough as nails man he is, he did, & he chose life. Today he has a lovely home where he is safe, as it is designed for someone blind to be able to live in, move around in safely, & do things for himself. God Bless Gary Sinise."

que la classe bourgeoise actuelle essaye et essayera encore de le faire échouer est évident, qu'ils aient les moyens de le faire sans se planter eux-même n'est pas évident, il leur faudrait maintenir leur pression pendant des semaines et probablement des mois, une pression qui leur fera perdre des fortunes
