Had to do a totally new windows install on a random hard drive, turned out not the one I would have chosen.

I wonder if this was typical of computer setup these days, as have to say its quite a swerve back towards difficult compared to 10 years ago- nothing on 20 years ago and setting pins and all that of course.

Harvard letter was a mistake

I guess Columbia regrets not pushing back now.

As they should.

Yeah the rights been pushing a wife beater narrative

Change of tack. Now they have proof hes in MS13. whether proof is real I don't know. 

They still have to submit this proof in a court of law.

Actually, they did, it was rejected because the cop wss proven unreliable and so was their witness.

Israel is democratic, sure, but at this point Bibi is doing his best to turn it fascist. I like Israel and support its existence, but I don't want it to become what it is fighting.

Trade war: China 'completely' stops buying liquefied gas from the US

China has halted all imports of liquefied natural gas (LNG) from the United States for more than ten weeks
According to the Financial Times, shipping data revealed that no LNG shipments have taken place between the two nations since a 69,000-tonne tanker from Corpus Christi, Texas, arrived in China's Fujian province on 6 February.


A second vessel destined for China was redirected to Bangladesh after it failed to arrive before Beijing imposed a 15 per cent tariff on US LNG on 10 February.

The tariff has now been raised to 49 per cent, effectively pricing US gas out of the Chinese market.

The current freeze on US LNG mirrors a similar halt during United States President Donald Trump's first term, which lasted over a year.

Imho, that will sting a bit for Texas budget, no?

Might be good for Europe though
