“I don’t feel safe when the government posts my address, the house where my family lives, for everyone to see, especially when this case has gone viral and people have all sorts of opinions,” she told The Washington Post. “So, this is definitely a bit terrifying. I’m scared for my kids.”

Selecting kitchen tiles is no simple task. You want something that lasts, looks good, and doesn’t turn cleaning into a chore. Mosaic kitchen tiles deliver on all counts. They’re not just for fancy designs—they’re a practical pick for everyday kitchens.
Here’s why mosaic tiles are a homeowner favorite—and why they could be right for you.
Kitchens are a battleground for tiles. Spills, heat, sharp utensils, and cleaning sprays are constant threats. Mosaic kitchen tiles, made from materials like porcelain, ceramic, or glass, are tougher than they appear.
They shrug off heat, water, and stains effortlessly. Install them properly and seal as needed, and they’ll stay looking great for years.
Nobody dreams of scrubbing their backsplash all day. Mosaic tiles, with their sleek, often glazed finishes, make cleanup quick and easy. Grease and food splatters wipe off with a damp cloth.
Grout can be a weak spot if unsealed, but it’s an easy fix. Regular sealing or darker grout keeps stains at bay.
Mosaic kitchen tiles excel in areas where bigger tiles don’t fit. Their tiny size and sheet format make them perfect for tight corners, curved surfaces, or small patches.
Have an odd-shaped backsplash or a slim strip above the counter? Mosaics handle it with ease, no matter the layout.
Kitchens can start to feel generic—same counters, same appliances. Mosaic tiles let you add a personal touch without a major renovation.
Mix colors, try a pattern, or add a single bold accent. Their small size keeps even adventurous designs from overwhelming the space.
Tiles can get expensive, but mosaic kitchen tiles are often a great deal, especially for smaller areas like backsplashes. You don’t need a lot of material, and ceramic mosaics are typically affordable.
Glass or stone options might cost more, but there are plenty of budget-friendly choices that still look high-end.
Mosaic tiles don’t have to dominate. They work well with larger kitchen tiles, adding depth or a pop of interest. Try a mosaic border with big wall tiles or use them for the backsplash while keeping the floor simple.
This mix-and-match approach creates a custom look without tearing everything out.
Mosaic tiles might seem like a hassle to install, but they usually come in sheets that simplify things. You’re not setting each tile individually—it’s more like laying regular tiles with extra grout work.
If you’d rather not DIY, most tile installers are pros at mosaics, and the cost is often close to standard tile projects.
Mosaic kitchen tiles are durable, low-maintenance, and a great way to add some flair. They fit into any space, complement other tiles, and come in styles for every price point.
You don’t need a chef’s kitchen to pull off mosaics—just a vision and a tile you’re into. Whether it’s a small update or a bigger project, they’re worth a look.
A kitchen with mosaics feels like it’s got a bit more heart. And that’s a big deal when it’s where you spend so much time.

Quoting Yisrael Frey: "People who say 'yes, but what's your solution?' don't really want to hear about the problem."
Yisrael Frey is a haredi journalist facing scrutiny and potential legal action in Israel for his social media posts. He is being investigated on suspicion of "incitement to terrorism" after he stated that a Palestinian harming an Israeli soldier or settler in the "apartheid territories" is a "hero fighting an oppressor."
[…] “If I’m a young Israeli and they educated me that the other is marked as dirt and dust and that you can go into his house in the middle of the night and take it apart and that you can force his wife and children to stand at checkpoints… and that you can break his hands and feet, it is not surprising that with the passage of time the authorities will succeed in transferring ‘the other’ to the Jew who is secular, who doesn’t like Bibi,”
I got ONE God damn credit card just to get some rewards for my Playstation and now I'm "pre-approved" and/or "pre-selected" and/or "pre-considered" for about a dozen cards a day. Fuck off, no! ONE credit card is more than enough! Technically I have 2, but my secured card needs an app that requires Google Attestation and thus can no longer run on my phone.
That reminds me, I need to check that card and make sure there isn't still balance chilling on it.
If I ever got to be in charge of law, day 1, I'd make it a legal requirement that advertisers pay for the time, power, and data their ads cost private citizens.
Ie - postal junk mail - Take however long it takes to walk to the mailbox, retrieve the mail, read it, rant that it looked like real mail, crumple it up, and throw it in the trash, and then calm down, times the minimum wage, and add in the fraction of their trash bill based on the space the junk takes up.
And the spammer is required to do all that math, cut the checks, and send them. If they get it wrong, they get fined.
Fine goes to the spam victim as compensation.
They'll also have to pay for however many man hours it took to enforce that.
Make SPAM unprofitable!

Oh yay, would you look at that, another “use” for AI: looks like at least my repos on @Codeberg are getting hit by a deluge of AI-generated issue spam.
Imagine the kind of sad, meaningless life you must have to attack free and open source projects on a community owned and operated source forge.
In later issue titles (not shown) they’ve foregone the AI and just default to the same racial slur. (So you know what kind of lowlife scum are behind the attack.) It’s not just my repositories either so I wouldn’t visit Codeberg until this is dealt with if I were you unless you want to subject yourself to that crap. I’ll let you all know when it’s been dealt with.
You can find books by following wikipedia sources, but given how pozed the place became those books will probably be shit.
Though at the very least finding out where they're getting their bullshit can help you notice.

Crane maintenance demands precision, and using the right parts is non-negotiable. However, counterfeit crane parts are increasingly common, with some fakes nearly indistinguishable from the real thing. A single faulty part can cause equipment failure, project delays, or even accidents, making it critical to know how to identify them.
Here’s how to spot counterfeit parts and ensure you’re sourcing quality crane parts from a reliable crane parts supplier.
Counterfeit crane parts aren’t just a minor issue—they’re a major risk. Often made with inferior materials and lacking proper safety certifications, these parts can fail under stress, leading to costly downtime, delays, or injuries. When your crane is handling heavy loads, every part must be trustworthy.
Unbelievably Low Prices
If a part’s price is far below market rates, it’s a red flag. Quality P&H crane parts cost more due to their engineering, materials, and testing. A deal that’s too cheap is often a fake.
No Supporting Documentation
Genuine parts come with paperwork like certificates of authenticity, inspection reports, or warranties. If your crane parts supplier can’t provide these, walk away.
Off-Brand Packaging
Counterfeit parts often have packaging flaws—misspelled labels, blurry logos, or low-quality materials. If the box or branding looks suspicious, it’s likely not genuine.
Sketchy Suppliers
A reputable crane parts supplier is transparent about their sourcing and contact details. If they’re evasive, lack a verifiable address, or use generic emails, don’t trust them.
Missing or Sloppy Markings
Authentic parts feature clear serial numbers, model codes, and manufacturer details. If these are absent, poorly etched, or don’t match the specs, the part is probably counterfeit.
Work with Trusted Suppliers
Buy from authorized dealers or suppliers listed on the manufacturer’s website. A dependable crane parts supplier ensures quality crane parts every time.
Inspect Deliveries Thoroughly
Check every shipment, even from familiar suppliers. Verify the part, packaging, and labels against previous orders to catch discrepancies.
Keep Organized Records
Save receipts, serial numbers, and supplier info. These records are vital for tracing parts or resolving issues if problems arise.
Contact the Manufacturer
If a part seems questionable, reach out to the manufacturer. They can confirm authenticity and help you avoid costly errors.
Paying a bit more for quality crane parts from a trusted crane parts supplier is a small price compared to the risks of counterfeits—equipment breakdowns, delays, or injuries. Stay cautious, verify your sources, and prioritize safety over savings.
Better safe than sorry.

Morgoth makes a short but strong case for democracy being the most sadistic form of government possible, well worth a read.
"Thus a foundational paradox within the American system of governance is revealed: Is Law or the popular will sovereign? If the rule of law is supreme, then why wasn’t it enforced as millions of people streamed across the borders? If the popular will rules, then why is law not subservient to it?"

Well, as the Wikipedia article explains, there are basically three ways to look at the question.
I think the most natural way is to look ask how far east or west you have to travel from the center of the US in order to get there. It's best to look at a globe if you want to answer the question this way because flat maps distort both distance and direction.
But, if we agree to use longitude, alone, as our criterion, then Alaska is the most east and the most west.
Amatignak Island, Alaska 51°16′7″N 179°8′55″W – westernmost point in all U.S. territories by longitude

I was gonna cut my hair when I felt better but that could take weeks or months so I just went outside and did it. And you know, I now look better than I feel! And I feel better than I did an hour ago before I cut my hair.
the haircut my mom gave me made me look like hitler, but because i typically have bedhead, i look like a chicken instead
honestly i dunno why the fuck she likes this hair style and gives me it every single time and asks me if i like it (which i say to just cut it all off and let it grow back uniformly)
of course, the day i cave in, i look like a retard until the next haircut day
i look like a fucking tumblr troon with this haircut
