Yes
While large institutional investors continue to get most of the headlines in the single-family rental space, small investors account for more than 90% of the market. These are individuals owning 10 properties or less. The largest investors, those with 1,000 or more properties, make up just 2% of all investor-owned homes.

They coulda just asked me, I live with a tiny Trex!
NYT headline that says “The Case of the Tiny Tyrannosaurus Might Have Been Cracked” A dilute calico cat sleeps on her side in a small cat tower. She’s got a big fluffy white belly/neck ruff/face, brown and tan markings on her back, and a little coffee stain mouth. She has very tiny arms folded up against her

Just a heads up folks if you see a video that starts with this frame/this amount zoomed in. Don't start the video. It's very shocking.
Screenshot of a video with a play button, video is 4 seconds long. Right side of the screen is dominated by a red presumably maga hat with an american flag and the last with Charlie Kirk in a white shirt, black pants sitting on a chair. He's holding a microphone. Banner at the top says RONG PROV. I'd suggest not viewing videos that start at this point.

Brother chill. The other links I provided included independent tracking of drone strikes during the Trump eras that show he did more than Obama regardless of who was reporting on it or not.

It’s not whataboutism to have accurate numbers.
There have been 2,243 drone strikes in the first two years of the Trump presidency, compared with 1,878 in Mr Obama's eight years in office, according to the Bureau of Investigative Journalism, a UK-based think tank. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-47480207.amp

Good find. Move my timeline up a bit BUT it does seem like he’s only responding to Trump saying it and is largely explaining why he said it in the past.
“There’s a saying in politics: If you’re explaining, you’re losing,” Walz said. “I did watch part of Trump last night, and I want to say this: 11 times. Eleven times Donald Trump explained to us that he wasn’t weird.” Democrats have leaned into the “weird” label that Walz first applied to the former president. “But look, when I said that, this isn’t about name calling or anything,” Walz said. “I was pointing out it’s weird to be obsessed with people’s personal lives. It’s weird to be obsessed with people’s health care choices. It’s weird to continue to talk about sharks and batteries and boats and things like that. What’s not weird, is to tell us what you’re going to do about health care. Tell us who’s going to get a tax cut. Tell us that you’re going to protect reproductive rights. Tell us how you’re going to tackle climate

Is it a good idea to build closet /on top/ of the carpet? Asking for some dipshit contractors from 2012
Baseboardless bottom of a yellow wall on a concrete floor. On top of the concrete floor but below the drywall is shag carpet and padding. The bottom 2x4 of the wall was put on top of the carpet

No cheating. Your last saved celebrity photo is your therapist. Who is it?
Cody Rhodes WWE Champion in a red white and blue American nightmare track jacket. He’s a big buff wrestler dude with peroxide blonde hair slicked back. Weirdly I think this’ll go okay? He’s got dad issues like me and cries at a drop of a hat also like me?

Ooh ooh ooh I know why! It's because
The Koolaid man busting through a brick wall/ He's a sentient pitcher full of red liquid holding a presumably non-sentient smaller pitcher of the same red liquid. He's saying "OH YEAH!" as he busts through the wall and has the Natty Boh logo on his pitcher which is a dapper gentleman with a big mustache and 1 eye. The text above him says "Because they like Trump" and the bottom says "And want him to rule us like a king". Credit to: @mtsw.bsky.social

Unless I’m reading it wrong this is saying all of a is required to report. Only the B clause has any stipulation about privileged comms.

lawfilesext.leg.wa.gov/biennium/202...

Adds clergy to that list in 1A (making them mandatory reporters)

Your highlighted
(1)(a) When any practitioner, county coroner or medical examiner, law enforcement officer, professional school personnel, registered or licensed nurse, social service counselor, psychologist, pharmacist, employee of the department of children, youth, and families, licensed or certified child care providers or their employees, employee of the department of social and health services, juvenile probation officer, placement and liaison specialist, responsible living skills program staff, HOPE center staff, state family and children's ombuds or any volunteer in the ombuds's office, or host home program has reasonable cause to believe that a child has suffered abuse or neglect, he or she shall report such incident, or cause a report to be made, to the proper law enforcement agency or to the department as provided in RCW 26.44.040 (b) When any person, in his or her official supervisory capacity with a nonprofit or for-profit organization, has reasonable cause to believe that a child has suffered abuse or neglect caused by a person over whom he or she regularly exercises supervisory authority, he or she shall report such incident, or cause a report to be made, to the proper law enforcement agency, provided that the person alleged to have caused the abuse or neglect is employed by, contracted by, or volunteers with the organization and coaches, trains, educates, or counsels a child or children or regularly has unsupervised access to a child or children as part of the employment, contract, or voluntary service. No one shall be required to report under this section when he or she obtains the information solely as a result of a privileged communication as provided in RCW 5.60.060. Nothing in this subsection (1)(b) shall limit a person's duty to report under (a) of this subsection.

The motion dismissed is for the confession to be thrown out because it's privileged lmao.
The list of mandatory reporters of child abuse includes a “Christian Science practitioner” and “priest, minister, or rabbi or any other person having reason to suspect that a child has been abused or neglected.” N.H. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 169-C:29. The clergy-penitent privilege does not constitute grounds for failing to report child abuse. “The privileged quality of communication between husband and wife and any professional person and his patient or client, except that between attorney and client, shall not apply to proceedings instituted pursuant to this chapter and shall not constitute grounds for failure to report as required by this chapter.” N.H. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 169-C:32. The Section 909 privilege exemption from the requirement to report child abuse and neglect, if narrowly interpreted, is unconstitutional on its face. The terms “priest,” “penitent,” and “sacramental confession” literally apply only to select denominations. The Delaware Constitution prohibits laws that give preference to any religion. However, Section 909 potentially can be read to apply to all religions Defendants assert that all communications among the Elders, Juvenile Member, and Adult Member are subject to the clergy/penitent privilege. Additionally, Defendants argue that the State’s claims are barred by the First Amendment to the United States and Delaware Constitutions. Finally, Defendants argue that they are exempt from a reporting duty pursuant to Section 909.

@mocomikee.bsky.social sorry Trex wasn’t the most social during your visits she’s happy and good so you did good job
Dilute calico named Trex happily sleeping with his little stumpy arms held up in front of her. She’s on a window hammock/shelf on a fluffy fleece blanket. There’s a hint of toe beans

3 panel meme split horizontally. Top panel "Born too late to deploy to the Middle East" with an image of F-15s and F-16 fighter jets flying over the burning oil fields of Desert Storm. Middle panel "Born too early to deploy to the Middle East" - picture of a middle eastern city, I don't really get the visual here. Might be Iraq before the 2003 invasion? Bottom panel "Born just in time to deploy to the Middle East" Picture of a M2 Bradley and an uparmored humvee(I think?) with a M240 machine gun turret on top with gun shields. Might be fighting ISIS in Iraq? Might be Syria, idk. Looks later than 2003 Iraq equipment wise. M240 gunner isn't wearing camo I can identify but doesn't look like Marpat or ACU or Multicam and helmet looks very football helmet-y in a non-US standard helmet way. Might be Iraqi military?

I’m pretty sure I’ve seen that they said they could offer lower quality searching and it wouldn’t affect the bottom line

And I found it:
C. Internal Quality Studies 134. In 2020, Google assessed the impact of degrading aspects of its search quality for about three months, specifically its large ranking components (e.g., Navboost, Synonyms). See UPX1082 at 294. The experiment tested a quality decline of 1 IS point, a measure of search quality equivalent to the loss of two times the information contained on all of Wikipedia. See id.; Tr. at 6323:12-17 (Nayak) ("If we took Wikipedia out of our index, completely out of our index, then that would lead to an IS loss of roughly about a half point."); id. at 4771:4 4773:9 (Whinston) (describing this experiment). This quality-reduction experiment correlated with only a 0.66-0.99% decline in global search revenue. UPX1082 at 294. In short, this study demonstrates that a significant quality depreciation by Google would not result in a significant loss of revenues.

This is a gross framing and not remotely accurate. They’re not losing anything.

Also not having any quotes from the people in these insurrectionists lives who have welcomed them back is weird? Also none from people who didn’t welcome them back.
“They are responding to what they have to lose,” Pape said. “These are the folks who are on the frontlines of demographic change” in places where people of color are becoming the majority. “They don’t see they have the political option of keeping the politics protecting them.”
