Avoid the jello shooters.

Meanwhile in SW Minnesota, my family is using leased solar panels from the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission (mpuc) as part of their crop rotations.

One year, a field gets solar panels, then next year they are moved to an adjacent field and crops replanted where the previous panels sat. They also do soil prep on the field with the panels so it'll be nutrient rich when they're moved again.

It's not rocket science to either rotate them or to plant under them, this story is idiotic.

Very unlucky:

"Turner Lee Salter, 19, was about a quarter of a mile (0.40 kilometers) away when he was struck by a nitrous oxide cannister that was propelled through the air by the explosion. Salter later died."

I can't count the number of times l have had to wait 30 effing days to get my refund for a cancelled work flight that I paid for and couldn't get reimbursed for. Sometimes I needed it for bills, it sucked.

Welcome change indeed.

The FTC already said the sale of these stores will have no impact on their decision.

Same. Both of these companies have done acquisitions over the years, all promising better prices and more jobs when the end result is poorer quality products at the same or higher price and less jobs overall.

I hope the FTC tells them to get bent.

Best line:

"Actually, that's not complete reporting, Olivia. I have a source that tells me it's the Wrong Every Time Floor Action Response Team – WETFART. The #WETFART team is a loud and slippery crew. Beware."

Let's see, first there was complaints on Truth Social about not being able to dismiss an unlimited number of jurors without reason for dismissal:

Then just hours ago the DA asked the Judge to hold him in contempt for poor remarks regarding potential jurors:

Then there's the mountains of previous trial evidence showing the same acts of slowing down the judicial process, which simply eludes anyone to the same conclusion I gave: It's a delay tactic.

This is just another form of delay tactics by the defense, nothing more.

The longer they drag out jury selection, the longer the trial runs, which gives them more time for everything from prepping the defense to giving the ranting monkey more time for his campaign.

“I thought STRIKES were supposed to be ‘unlimited’ when we were picking our jury?” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social.

State law, a law that's been around for over a hundred years, limits it to 10 strikes.

That's what he gets for thinking again.

Meanwhile, adult baby and furry sex fetish vids are still free /facepalm.

In my 20 years of working in the office and an additional 4 working 100% WFH, I'll throw my worthless internet opinion out there as to why: It comes down to the culture of the company.

Some companies see a real benefit from water tank conversations, face-to-face meetings, and the ability for managers to ask someone in person on a moment's notice to do things. There is also a lack of trust in the employees being able to perform correctly without physical oversight in many companies. Granted and aside from the trust issue, there is some truth to that, but can in fact be realigned with the exact same benefit by retooling communications. It's up to each company however to formulate the best course of action to remedy that and many sadly fail, resulting in RTO mandates.

I've been CTF'ing since Doom LAN parties, never seen it either.

Older folks like us tend to not say much or when we do, we keep it game related. We also tend to mute or ignore trolls from the start, so that's probably why lol.

Had to go back and look it up. The answer is it just depends. Some land is owned by the State of HI, in which non natives can own it where other land is owned by the Natives through the Monarchy of HI and can only be leased:

Unless you are a native Hawaiian, you can only lease the land for 100 years. Further, the cost of living in HI is way way higher than SoCal because everything has to be imported.
