Top Democrat Schumer backs Republican spending bill to avert shutdown bbc.com/news/articles/cdx2j8n7โฆ
There is a double-stranded in America. If there is a shutdown, while Democrats run the government, people claim they're lacking leadership. If there is a shutdown, when Republicans run the government, people claim Democrats are preventing government from functioning.
This double-standard allow Republicans to get away with anything, while Democrats are blamed for everything, including when trying to help the people.

They're all resellers, two of them hide themselves behind Cloudflare, and one of them is surprisingly hosted in the United States, itself (Euro VPS, actually, which I find funny).
Here are two (2) sites I use to track down sites

I avoid resellers, because you'd have to worry about both the company you're dealing with, plus their parent company. I have seen what happens when they end up conflicting.

Trump White House has asked U.S. military to develop options for the Panama Canal, officials say
The Trump White House has directed the U.S. military to draw up options for increasing the American troop presence in Panama to achieve President Trumpโs goal of โreclaimingโ the Panama Canal.Courtney Kube (NBC News)
And this differs from an invasion, how?
"The officials cautioned that a U.S. invasion of Panama is unlikely and would only come under serious consideration if a larger American military presence in Panama does not achieve President Donald Trumpโs goal of reclaiming the waterway, the officials said."
"My invasion of your house is unlikely and would only come under serious consideration if you fail to achieve my goal of giving me all of your money and valuables..."

We're going to be talking to OpenMV (openmv.io/) on the show. They have small cameras for $80-150 US. They are programmed in MicroPython and have enough processing power to to do some AI and drive motors (or lights).
What would you use such a camera for?
Extremely silly answers only.
