Less surveillance of protesters and fewer torched vehicles. It's a win-win!

Honestly you wouldn't want to be caught in one of those things in the middle of a protest or worse, after dark when the serious protesters have gone home and the hooligans start taking over intersections. The machine has no concept of the kind of defensive driving necessary for getting safely home, even if it didn't provoke attack by having the big-ass cameras on the roof. What you'd want is a human driver from the neighborhood.

Don't cheap out on our military!!

Oh I wouldn't mind some time under an Eleni Kounalakis administration.

If he found the courage to stand up and get arrested it would be a step towards actually deserving the nom.

Maybe spending time with prisoners would give him some much-needed insight as well.

Plus I think we deserve to see our candidates without makeup and fancy hair. Come out with a buzzcut and tats... (Heehee autofill tried to make it tatas) Admit it, that's part of why we wanted Trump The Mob Don to go to prison.

Yes, the news chopper guy and anchor seemed almost relieved to have a car chase to film for a change from watching the protests deteriorate into something more like random hooliganism and police violence. It's just luck he didn't kill somebody, he was clearly trying to. Like when he swerved towards the cyclist, and aimed those donuts at the crowd.

The last time it happened was pretty much your spin scenario. I was 5 at the time and remember my parents following it in the newspaper.

Invincible and adorable!

I believe it's turkey carcass that makes turkey stock for soup.

The Turkey Caucus makes legislation.

Cut off the base and the tips, rinse it all, cut scoop-sized pieces of the perfect stalks or parts of stalks and pop them in some ice water until you can try the suggestions. Chop all the rest, leaves and too small inner bits and strong-flavored rough outer stalks. Put the chopped pieces in the freezer. Perfect for chicken soup, or in almost anything that starts with "chop an onion." (Not instead of the onion, in addition to it!)

I'll just add one thing I learned today: in conservative Mennonite communities in the Ontario area, schooling beyond grade 7 is discouraged.

That last sentence, I parsed it 2 ways and both are appealing.

TIME FOR DRINKIES!

I would argue the negligence was committed by the person who left the insular community (which had some protection by virtue of avoiding exposure, even though it also perpetuated an antivaccine and anti doctor mindset) and brought home the measles. It's also very much a young-women-do-as-they-are-told society so the mother's level of agency over her own health and that of her fetus is questionable. You go ahead and blame her, but I'd like more evidence she was willfully neglectful.

EDIT TO ADD:

“While measles may have been a contributing factor in both the premature birth and death, the infant also faced other serious medical complications unrelated to the virus,” he added.

Since we read they're trying to get the word out to the community in their language, it's very possible she wasn't aware she needed the vaccine, especially since obviously her parents didn't get her vaccinated as a child. If she wasn't planning to get pregnant she wouldn't have been told "you need to get the MMR at least a month before you start trying." And she's probably not the person who went to New Brunswick and exposed her insular community, but instead could well have become pregnant at about the time the first cases were diagnosed in her community. Then with the virulence of measles it would have been very difficult to remain sufficiently isolated to completely avoid exposure. We also don't know her age. And we don't know how sick she got, but possibly it precipitated the premature labor.

"MMR vaccine should not be given during pregnancy and you shouldn't try to become pregnant within a month after vaccination."

So depending on the timing of the exposure and whether the pregnancy was planned, and whether she was aware she wasn't vaccinated and that it's okay under Mennonite rules, there's a few scenarios where she's more victim than villain

Okay, "swarming herds of antelopes" would satisfy me. Or "plague of a million antelopes."

Maybe it's just me, I feel like swarming is something you do with lots of legs and maybe some wings. And the ickiness of small bodies moving in waves, chittering and buzzing.

Thundering hooves and sharp horns feels like a wholly different terror.

I think of "tartare" as minced raw steak with minced chives, capers, Worcestershire and raw egg.

"Sauce tartare" (sōse tarTAR) I would allow, as being French. Served avec poisson-et-frîtes.

But I think Tartare Sauce is just misspelling. Unless it's some kind of regional Aussie thing?

EDIT: Wikipedia says Commonwealth countries often use "tartare" so I'll relent. Must be my US bigotry.

But as used in the headline, "...antelope swarm destroys.." the verb is "destroys," not "swarm."

Ok but apparently they don't know how to spell Tartar Sauce.
