As I understand it, you can't just real a url from the code and enter it into your browser. You have to have their app installed on your phone to read it with, which then somehow sends to google to unlock the page. So obviously the code contains the IP address/fingerprint of your desktop and/or a code linked to that instance of the captcha page. The purpose is so they can link your desktop browser to your phone = to your identity, for the giant database. Linking all the devices you use to your ID has long been a goal.

Instead of separate dedicated shape tools, in gimp you use the appropriate shape of Selection tool to create the shape(s), then you either add the fill and/or border of the style you want, or use 'Stroke selection' to choose from various draw/paint tools/styles. So for a circle you use the Ellipse Selection tool.

You can use any of the transformation tools, including Rotate, on the selection vs the image contents --you choose the tool option for which thing you want it to apply to. You can drag or enter a specific number.

(this is just information for anyone who wants to know how to do the things you mentioned. I'm not interested in talking about how good or shitty the programs are or comparing them)

Seriously, this whole site, but the images are killing me. They seriously couldn't find pictures of nail guns? 😂

OK well, maybe if we ignore the images and just read the text we will find valuable information!

You left out the best part:

According to Rome police, the department received an email listing Greene’s home address and saying a pipe bomb had been placed in her mailbox shortly after 7 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 6. The email initially went to a junk folder and was not seen until Monday at about 9:30 a.m.

UnitedHealthcare CEO murder suspect Luigi Mangione suggests evidence ‘planted’ after arrest

From the article:

Although a host of eyewitness accounts and video camera footage recorded Mangione’s movements before and after Thompson was killed in New York City on Wednesday, police said they were unable to locate him until a McDonald’s employee identified the suspect at a Pennsylvania franchise nearly a week later.

They should have said "the suspect's movements" or "the shooter's movements". Not "Mangione's movements". They are already presuming guilt by saying it was Mangione who was recorded. Newspapers used to be careful about doing this. I think they can be sued for defamation for this, can't they?

a tragic comedy

This thing about them not getting the promised reward needs to go viral so in the future whenever someone's thinking of turning someone in to get the reward money, they'll know they're highly unlikely to get a damn thing.

Why is that?

I'd say it's because during Biden's term he was running a fairly basic administration and during the run-up to the election, inflation was something they (repubs) could use to rile up the base, but now not only is the election long over, there's so much new horrible stuff every day (both real and made-up) in the spotlight that inflation pales in comparison.

'Did I Miss Something?': Online Shoppers Shocked as Trump Tariffs Jack Up Prices 145%

One mistake Temu is making is showing it as "Import fees". That's correct of course, but they should label it specifically as "Import tariffs" or "Tariffs", so that it's clear what this is. From the comments in the linked reddit threads, a lot of people just think they're extra fees Temu is voluntarily putting on as retaliation, their brains still aren't making the link between "import fees" and "trump's tariffs on China".

They set $100K bond and she could get a 15 year prison sentence!?!?!? That's insane. Far far out of proportion to what she said. Obviously there's no way she is any kind of a threat to anyone and they know it. But they're going to fuck her over to make an example of her. What a dystopia we're living in.
