[Snag A Pair Here]( IMPORTANT No, Again Chile Overwhelmingly Rejects New Constitution. Where to Now? After their country erupted in protest in 2019, [78% of Chileans]( voted to scrap the 1980 constitution drafted by military dictator Gen. Augusto Pinochet. Now 62% of voters have rejected its left-leaning potential replacement. Many say the new document — which would have legalized abortion, introduced universal healthcare and given Indigenous nations their own governing structures — goes too far. The result is a headache for President Gabriel Boric, who was betting on using the new constitution as a springboard for social change. “I take this message with great humility,” he said, vowing to start the process of drafting another constitution Monday.

Soon 10 people lay dead and 15 had been seriously injured in a spree that spanned 13 different crime scenes in the James Smith Cree Nation and the nearby village of Weldon. Police named two suspects and shared their photos in a dangerous person alert covering the provinces of Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Alberta. Some of the victims were known to the suspects but others were not, leaving their motive unclear. “This is the destruction we face when harmful illegal drugs invade our communities,” said a group representing First Nations.

But Siemens Energy noted that “such leaks do not normally affect the operation of a turbine and can be sealed on site.” The move’s left Europe scrambling. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz will spend at least $64 billion on shielding customers and businesses from soaring inflation. France, meanwhile, is putting the onus on businesses to save energy with all firms required to appoint an “ambassador of energy sobriety.” The new U.K. prime minister — [probably Liz Truss]( — will have their work cut out.

[Speaking on camera](, Koome systematically threw out each of Odinga’s accusations. The court rejected the argument that the electoral technology failed and found no evidence that the results system was tampered with. They dismissed allegations of voter suppression and ballot-stuffing and found that the eleventh-hour “boardroom rupture” among electoral commissioners was not grounds to nullify the outcome of the poll. Most importantly, they found that William Ruto did receive the requisite 50% plus one vote required to become president.

In 2020 the government launched a $17 million culling scheme, but critics say it’s too little too late. “We love Aussies visiting us, especially with the rugby,” said Peeti. “But one thing we don’t like is the wallaby.” (Source: [The Guardian]() Wonderful World? Louis Armstrong’s Secret Audio Diaries Reveal Struggles With Racism In 1950 Satchmo started recording his daily thoughts — and the makers of a new documentary are the first to listen to them. In one tape he bemoans how many white people “dislike” Black people while always having one “they’re just crazy about.” In another he recalls challenging his manager for taking most of his earnings. “By the 1950s and 1960s a lot of his African American fans began thinking of him as … someone who was afraid to speak out because he was so beloved by whites,” said Ricky Riccardi. “I’m hoping this film blows those notions totally out of the water.” (Source: [The Guardian]() ‘Black Bear Warriors’ Taiwanese Tycoon Pledges $33M to Fund Citizens’ Militia Speaking in a bulletproof vest Robert Tsao, the 75-year-old multibillionaire founder of chipmaker UMC, announced he’d regained his Taiwanese citizenship and would donate NT$1 billion towards training a militia of 3.3 million “Black Bear Warriors.” Tsao had renounced his Taiwanese citizenship in 2011 over government regulations which made it hard for him to invest in China — but the violent crackdown on the pro-democracy movement in Hong Kong’s made him a vocal critic of Beijing. A Taiwanese cabinet spokesperson thanked Tsao for his donation and said the government would look into the feasibility of his ideas for spending it.

The rise of the dishwasher has coincided with the ubiquity of plastic kitchenware — and no amount of dishwasher R&D has been able to get plastics to dry perfectly. Because plastics don’t store heat as well as glass, metal or ceramics they aren’t as good at evaporation. Also, water tends to bead on plastics — it forms a thin, easy-to-evaporate film on glass and porcelain. Some high-end models now feature fan-drying systems and/or zeolites, the porous minerals used in modern cat litter. Opening the door at the end of the cycle also helps. But the only foolproof solution is … a dish towel.

The first set was a crackerjack affair, with both men saving three set points before Kyrgios eventually prevailed 13-11 in an epic tiebreak. The Aussie characteristically went rogue in the second set — but he came storming back in the third and didn’t let up until the final ace had been served. “I’m just glad I’m finally able to show New York my talent,” said Kyrgios. “I want to go all the way, and hopefully it’s possible.” (Source: [NYT]() Catch the Newest Episodes of The Carlos Watson Show, Season 4!
