What Santos didn't say was that he had already placed bets on Kalshi that he was not going to appear at the State of the Union address, according to three people with direct knowledge of his trades who were not authorized to speak publicly.

"Microsoft’s new quantum computer chip has a fundamental problem"
Microsoft claimed today that it has improved its quantum technology by an extraordinary factor. Outside experts say it doesn’t even work and never has.

NOT to be confused with the herb marjoram, which seems to have a cult following. Go ahead, check it out. Google "uses for marjoram." Even AI is a cult member, because if you look at its sourcing about how bitchin' is marjoram, it cites a Reddit post, and site called Food 52 [cue scary X-Files tune]. Also, the comments therein and one other source (before I got sick of the adulation) bags on Oregano as being a poor substitute for Marjoram. Really, dissing oregano??? Well, the Coca-Cola Company is going to hear about this.

To be honest, and I believe we all understand and it is self evident ,"What does that mean they are moving?"
The answer is simple "THEY ARE MOVING! They were there before and now they aren't there"
