Scientology tried to 'derail' star's rape trial by harassing prosecutor, suit says; church calls claim 'false'
  • From that angle, sure. But on Wikipedia it shows how massive it is.
    Purposely not linking to the official "church" website, but it has a picture of it from the air, and lit up at night... It's pretty impressive.

  • In December 2017 I set up a Raspberry Pi Zero W (v1.1) with a bash script to automatically launch Chromium browser at startup in kiosk mode, wait 2 minutes, then use xdotool to change tabs.

    Browser was configured to launch with 2 tabs. One was a locally hosted (static) HTML file, the other was a Google Slides slideshow. HTML file displayed a welcome message and current time (via css clock) while the slideshow loaded in the background tab.

    This was working flawlessly for years.

    Here's my problem If the display was showing desktop background instead of clock/slideshow I would just SSH in and reboot to fix it ... but over the last 6 months, this "reboot fix" reliability of launching the Chromium browser has fallen off a cliff... From 100% to 50% to 10% then basically 0%

    I suspected the latest version of the browser is not supported on this old Zero W ... So I formatted the SD card, burned the 32-bit Legacy version of Pi OS (bullseye) for the Zero W using imager and confirmed my suspicions.

    I almost fixed the issue by launching Midori in Fullscreen mode instead, but it's displaying the navbar for some reason. Am I missing something?

    For this simple use case, would I be better off running 32-bit Pi OS Lite and an X11 window manager? How?

    Jury finds 'Rust' armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed guilty of involuntary manslaughter
  • Average Joe because he pulled the trigger.
    The prosecutor because he was the one on site, in charge, and allowed unsafe conditions to persist even after many employees walked out due to the dangerous conditions.

    Debunk this: Things that happen while Ronald Reagan was a US President
  • It doesn't really matter which side is out of whack. Housing is unaffordable.
    Continuing with the high interest comment that sparked this thread, back then a 10.5% interest mortgage in a typical house was 45% of median income and in 2023 a 6.5% interest mortgage was 53%

    If mortgages were still 10.5% in 2023 housing would be 78% of median income.

  • Because homes were still affordable then.

    1988 Median Household Income ~27k
    1988 Median Home Price ~113k
    So a home was 4x annual salary

    For 2023 the numbers were ~59k and ~$418k Roughly 7x annual salary.
