US doesn’t really celebrate it, but my city pretty much has protests every year.
Then again, we protest anything and everything, so it fits right in. :)

Needs one more segment:
“How much can you pay?”
It would not surprise me, but I did hear that Francis appointed something like 80% of the Cardinals who will vote to replace him soooo… 🤷♂️
The origjnal is a Philco Predicta from around 1958 or so. The Philco brand existed for years and years, first as a maker of radios, then as a maker of televisions.
The retro-futurist Predicta line ran for just 2 years, 1958 to 1960.

It definitely gained a hold though and has been featured in both the Sims and Fallout games:
In the 90’s, the brand was acquired by a tiny company called Telstar who hand-made reproductions using Phillips parts, that’s who made mine in 2001.
25", full color, with composite, component and S-Video inputs. It even supports 480p video!
Yup. If it’s my house, it falls under #2, my neighbors house would fall under #1.
I’d just roll your own with either a spreadsheet or a relational database depending on how fancy you want to get.
In fact, I’ve done that for comic books.
It varies state by state, and sometimes by municipality.
“According to the memo, agents can break into a home if getting a warrant is “impracticable,” and they don’t need a judge’s approval.”
Here in Oregon:

"a person is not justified in using deadly physical force upon another person unless the person reasonably believes that the other person is:
(1) Committing or attempting to commit a felony involving the use or threatened imminent use of physical force against a person; or
(2) Committing or attempting to commit a burglary in a dwelling; or
(3) Using or about to use unlawful deadly physical force against a person. [1971 c.743 §23]"

It’s Congress though, so “Circular Firing Squad”. :)
Contrary to popular opinion, mods don’t scrape all the threads looking for removable content.
We remove it when we see it, and sometimes it takes a report to make that happen.

Removed as being a video link, the actual news article is linked further down thread:
Wasn’t there also a problem with the music rights?
I was looking for an original to restore but there are problems doing that:
They are FULL of paper capacitors. All of which have to be replaced.
Once you do that, the set is still black and white and has no modern inputs, coaxial and dipole only.
So in my research, I found a tiny company in Dousman, WI who bought the Philco Predicta license. Not sure if they are still making them, keep in mind this was all 25 years ago. Was $2,500 + freight shipping.
Black women are not the base of the party, that’s a common misconception.
In 2023, just 14.4% of the US population identified as black. Women are just over 50% of that.
https://www.pewresearch.org/race-and-ethnicity/fact-sheet/facts-about-the-us-black-population/
https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/fact/table/US/PST045224#PST045224
So Just over 7% of the US population are black women. You don’t win elections catering to 7% of the population. Even if they all vote for you, which they won’t, a party can’t survive on 7%.
The Democratic party represents 45.1 million people out of 186.5 million people registered to vote. 24.18% of the voting population.

I think she started with Y-Y-Z. :) Sorry, Rush joke…
Yeah, bought them as speaker stands.
Oh, yeah, those lamps are long gone now.
My (now) wife freaked out coming to my apartment the first time. Turns out, she’s a huge Rush fan:
In my living room at the time:
All I hear is “Eeeeeeeeeeeeee!”
70% sure she just married me for the TV.
Politics is US politics only, and we don’t allow self posts.
