Learned about this last year when someone at my wife's work told her they were having to do it. It sounds crazy but fixed a reoccurring issue that had put in the hospital several times.

The Vatican mail is supposed to be much faster and more reliable than Italian mail too.

re: Pentair Multi-colored Microbrite Pool Lights

Amazon sells some do it yourself ones online for around $400 a light. The issue with the LED lights is that the casing, light and wiring are all one unit. There is no changing a bulb, so you have to pull out the wire and fish the new line back to a transformer for each light.

I'm not sure how everyone decided to switch over to LED for pool lights when they are 100Xs more expensive and go out after a couple years. They are supposed to be rated for 10,000+ hours, but the casings don't hold up.

Prepare to drop a couple grand every few years. There are some compatible brands with 3 year warranties, so you can get 5-6 years out of a purchase.

Shannon Elizabeth, she was tiny and gorgeous playing poker in Australia.

Katie Holmes at Whole Foods in BR with her daughter. Looked like a regular person and was very nice. Talked a little while in line for gelato.

Party in power has lost seats all but 3 times in the last hundred years, and we were at war for two of those elections. FDR ‘34, Clinton ‘98 and Bush ‘02.

re: Bill Gates — Climate change will not lead to demise of humanity, it’s time to end the doom

Bill has a lot of time and money invested in modern nuclear power. With more people opening up to nuclear and the need growing due to data centers, this is very advantageous time for him. By shifting the focus to investing in long term solutions, he can sell his power plant designs without losing the backing of his environmental allies. He was very close to selling several power plants to China in Trump's first term, but then Trump blocked the ability to do that with China.

At least he is coming out and telling the truth that climate change isn't going to wipe out mankind any time soon. It would be nice if more people could stop with hyperbole and have more common-sense conversations on how to grow and prosper while also being good stewards of our environment.

re: Republicans should start a fund to promote right wing causes worldwide.

According to Mike Benz, there were left wing and right wing factions in USAID. One of the examples he gave was the right wing manipulated an LGBTQ group into staging a coup in Bangladesh. There was also an example of causing a race riot and strike in West Africa to prevent China from building a port there.

Well LSU sold 24 of them yesterday for $500 a piece to raise NIL money. I doubt you would get much of that money back trying to sell it on the market.
