First they deleted all my old "Yahoo Groups" files.

Then I had a prolonged illness where I couldn't use my old Yahoo e-mail accounts.

They deleted my e-mails. ALL of them.

Now "THEY" are being deleted.

Maybe there is a just universe after all...

Don't confuse Amazon "Fire" performance with a "real" Android device. Amazon is subpar in my experience, and is several (many) generations behind.

Amazon began referring to the Android derivative as Fire OS with its third iteration of Fire tablets. Unlike previous Fire models, whose operating system was described as "based on" Android, Fire OS 3.0 was described as "compatible with" Android.

Instagram is dying, Twitter's imploding and TikTok is for a certain kind of person. Where does that leave us now?

The Bahamian government is overseen by "The Firm"...

The Crown and the Police Force https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monarchy_of_the_Bahamas#The_Cr...

The national police force of the Bahamas is known as "The Royal Bahamas Police Force".

The St. Edward's Crown appears on the Bahamian Police's badges and rank insignia, which illustrates the monarchy as the locus of authority.

Every member of the Royal Bahamas Police Force has to swear allegiance to the monarch of the Bahamas, on taking office.

("Monarch of the Bahamas" aka King Charles III of Great Britain.)

I can imagine many levels of royal induced pressure being applied here.

The truth is, no one knows because there is no reliable evidence that Hoover was gay.

The Soviet KGB began spreading disinformation about J Edgar Hoover's sexual proclivities in the 1960s. These included claims that Hoover was a gay cross-dresser. The fact is that in the well-regarded history book, The Sword And The Shield - The Mitrokhin Archive And The Secret History Of The KGB, authors Christopher Andrew and Vasili Mitrokhin, point out that like the CIA, the FBI was a major target of KGB disinformation operations and that, until his death in 1972, many of these measures were directed against J Edgar Hoover.

FTX was claiming it was FDIC insured???

From August 2022:

Crypto firm FTX gets warning from FDIC to stop ‘misleading’ consumers about deposit protection

Trust and Security

FTX and FTX US follow the same security standards and neither site has ever been hacked. Both platforms encourage two-factor authentication (2FA), and both practice cold storage of user funds.

The only difference is that FTX has an insurance fund for users that is funded through their trading fees. If a hack were to occur, FTX can reimburse affected users. FTX US doesn’t have insurance in that manner, crypto lost through a hack isn’t covered, but USD deposits are FDIC insured. Because the original FTX has a more comprehensive insurance fund for users, it gets the edge here.

"Pope" comes from the Latin Pontifex Maximus". Julius Caesar (100 - 44 BCE) was a Roman Pontifex Maximus, Gregory VIII (1572 - 1585 CE was a Catholic Pontifex Maximus.

And keeping track of calendars was part of their job!!

The Pontifices were in charge of the Roman calendar and determined when intercalary months needed to be added to synchronize the calendar to the seasons. Since the Pontifices were often politicians, and because a Roman magistrate's term of office corresponded with a calendar year, this power was prone to abuse: a Pontifex could lengthen a year in which he or one of his political allies was in office, or refuse to lengthen one in which his opponents were in power. A Pontifex with other political responsibilities, especially away from Rome, might also have been simply distracted from his calendrical duties as chief priest. This caused the calendar to become out of step with the seasons; for example, Caesar's crossing of the Rubicon in January 49 BC actually took place in mid-autumn.

Under his authority as pontifex maximus, Julius Caesar introduced the calendar reform that created the Julian calendar, with a fault of less than a day per century, and which remained the standard till the Gregorian reform in the 16th century.

Casa Bonita renovation: Photos, documents reveal $12 million plans

He gets to (must) sign an endless stream of documents like Acts of Parliament and Royal Decrees etc.

Under the Constitution, before a bill can enter into law it must be passed by Parliament and then signed by the Monarch and countersigned by the responsible minister or state secretary.

The biggest change in the amended plan was the removal of a $250 million settlement payment from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which Silverstein refused to approve. Silverstein said that part of that settlement proposal went too far in attempting to protect the Mormon church from abuse claims that were only loosely connected to scouting activities.

Her vile words about the Queen were slammed by thousands online, including billionaire Bezos.
