Trump lied to me about his wealth to get onto the Forbes 400. Here are the tapes.
https://wapo.st/2HfeYAO

"When he lost his appeal in 2011, a New Jersey appellate judge wrote, “The largest portion of Mr. Trump’s fortune, according to three people who had had direct knowledge of his holdings, apparently comes from his lucrative inheritance. These people estimated that Mr. Trump’s wealth, presuming that it is not encumbered by heavy debt, may amount to about $200 million to $300 million. That is an enviably large sum of money by most people’s standards but far short of the billionaires club.”

Lets just hope this one doesn't catch fire.

18 Actionable Tips for Creating Stunning Sunset Photos

Google’s Crostini lets you run GNU/Linux apps on Chromebooks without enabling developer mode

People have been running Ubuntu and other GNU/Linux distributions on Chromebooks for almost as long as Chromebooks have been available. While some folks have replaced Chrome OS altogether or created dual boot systems, the simplest method is to use Crouton, which allows you to install a Linux distribution in a chroot environment, allowing you to run Ubuntu or another OS alongside Chrome OS and switch between the two environments without rebooting.

In order to do that you need to enable Developer Mode on your Chromebook though, which removes some of the security protections that you normally get with Chrome OS.

But now there’s an easier way to run Linux apps. Google is developing a new Chrome OS feature called Crostini that makes it possible to run Linux apps on a Chromebook. Now it looks like you can take it for a spin… if you have a Google Pixelbook. The feature will probably roll out to additional devices in the future.

From Neuroscience News: Can a Brain Injury Change Who You Are? - A new article looks at how TBI can force personality changes in patients.

OH.

The agreement came after months of intense talks between #EU and Mexican negotiators, and while some technical issues remain, an agreed text is expected by the end of the year. In less than two years the EU and #Mexico have delivered a deal fit for the economic and political challenges of the 21st century, according to EU Trade Commissioner Cecilia Malmstrom.

The EU has sought to frame itself as a leading defender of #freetrade in the face of US #protectionism since plans for a trade agreement with the US were halted after Trump's election victory in November 2016. German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto reportedly wanted the deal to be announced before Sunday's (Apr 22) opening ceremony of the Hannover Messe, a major trade fair in Germany, where both leaders will be present.
