They need to review the AC changes


I asked an AC guy about this recently. He said most of the companies started moving forward on the changes already and he doesn't believe they would go back.

Attorney General Liz Murrill announced that the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in favor of Louisiana and six other states challenging the Biden administration’s energy-efficiency standards for stoves, ovens and other cooking appliances.

The Fifth Circuit found the Department of Energy broke the law by refusing to withdraw the rule after the States raised concerns about its impact on consumers. The court found DOE failed to fairly include the States in developing the rule and failed to adequately consider whether the new requirements would make appliances less reliable and more costly. The court ultimately sided with the States and set the rule aside.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers may soon be outfitted with gloves that can deliver painful electric shocks intended to gain compliance from combative individuals.

ICE plans to spend up to $20 million to purchase thousands of “conductive distraction and de-escalation devices” for officers and agents by March, according to a notice published Monday by the Department of Homeland Security.

The devices are known as the G.L.O.V.E., which stands for Generated Low Output Voltage Emitter, and are manufactured by Compliant Technologies LLC of Lexington, Kentucky. They have been used in recent years by some jails and police departments.


quote:

Compliant Technologies says the devices function as a normal pair of patrol gloves until officers press a switch to activate their electrical mode. The gloves must be applied directly to someone’s skin to deliver a pain stimulus that typically helps an officer gain compliance within seconds, according to the company.

Jessie Cave has revealed she has already made more money on OnlyFans than she did in her nearly two-decade career as an actress, which includes several "Harry Potter" movies.

Cave, best known for her role of Lavender Brown in the "Harry Potter" film franchise, shared in an interview with The Times published on Aug. 7 that she earned £15,000, or roughly $20,000, in a day after she launched an account on OnlyFans in 2025.

"I've earned more, easily, than my entire acting career within one year," she told the outlet.


quote:

Cave, 39, announced in March 2025 that she had made an account on OnlyFans, a platform that allows users to subscribe to individuals for content that is typically adult in nature. But Cave specified her OnlyFans would not be for sexually explicit content and would instead be focused on videos of her brushing and showing off her long hair.


quote:

Speaking to The Times, Cave shared she joined OnlyFans after having "a breakdown" and reaching a "point of complete desperation" in her acting career after being rejected for another role. But while she expected that signing up for the platform would be a temporary solution that would allow her to make a few thousand dollars, it has "genuinely saved our lives," she said.

She had been a sex worker for nearly seven years at that point, and was accustomed to being paid for her time and discretion. She tells Them that’s why she thought nothing of being paid for roughly a half-hour of sex work on June 7 of that year by a man she claims was the late South Carolina Senator — and then-Republican presidential candidate — Lindsey Graham, who had announced his candidacy six days prior.

Snider says she didn’t initially realize who the man she had seen at the Washington Hilton was until he appeared on the mounted television of a divey New York City restaurant she and her friend were eating at just a week later.


quote:

Them reviewed screenshots of a June 7, 2015, text exchange appearing to arrange an appointment at a Washington hotel, as well as a dated advertisement Snider says she posted. Them cannot independently confirm the veracity of these messages.

Snider says an unidentified person who appears to message her at 8:48 a.m. asking about the timing of her earliest appointment is Lindsey Graham.

After agreeing to meet that afternoon at 1:30 at her hotel, the unnamed person asks, “Are you more of a top or a bottom?” The unnamed person then adds in the screenshots, “I am a bottom,” before Snider appears to tell the potential client to refrain from explicit conversation in the text thread.

Iran has flatly ruled out any future negotiations with the Trump administration, declaring it will wait out Trump's term until January 20, 2029, per an advisor to the Parliament Speaker Ghalibaf and a senior Iranian source.

"Trump will not reach an agreement with us. We will accompany him until his term ends," Majid Shakeri, advisor to Parliament Speaker Ghalibaf says.

Shakeri adds "the path to victory is neither fighting nor a deal, it is managing the process of neither war nor peace, up to the point of victory. Publicly confirming negotiations with the US is sheer folly. The winning approach is denial, ambiguity, and strategic patience."

Unless Trump accepts all of Iran's conditions in the US surrender document, the Strait of Hormuz stays closed until 2029. Those demands include $300 billion in compensation, more than $100 billion in frozen assets released, lifting all sanctions, US troop withdrawal from the entire region, and accepting transit fees on every ship.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday rejected a U.S.-backed Gaza peace plan and vowed there would be no military withdrawal until Hamas is "genuinely" disarmed.

Last month, President Trump hailed the peace plan as a "historic agreement for the complete disarmament of Hamas and all other groups in Gaza." He said it was negotiated by his international "Board of Peace" and called it a "monumental step toward lasting peace and security."

On Sunday, after more than a week of gradually escalating criticism of the plan, Netanyahu explicitly opposed it as he faced pushback from his right-wing base ahead of elections.

"Israel rejects the 15-point document," he said in a cabinet meeting, adding that the military "will not make any withdrawal until Hamas is truly disarmed and will continue to thwart threats against our forces and citizens."
