The annual game I play to see how long I can go without turning on the furnace is over. It was 49° in the house when I got home 🥶

Very good for a bigger brewery.

More than 3 billion phone coordinates collected by a US data broker expose the detailed movements of US military and intelligence workers in Germany—and the Pentagon is powerless to stop it.

About five years ago, tier 2 assets and below were no longer allowed to wear or use civilian made GPS enabled devices or apps during operations and exercises due to Strava app revealing a platoons gps location and movement history. This was in effect long before but became mandated so that the less than bright could understand.

Just finished loading big and little branches into my trailer. Three trailer loads. Took them down the road and unloaded off the side on our property. Still cleaning up after Helene. I still have about four hours of chainsaw work yet to do.
Around here the first consideration when going somewhere is " is the place where I'm going still standing? Two out of three of our local post office's are still not working. Our friend in Asheville still has undrinkable water. Bridges are still out.

I saw a video on fb that I'll have to look for on another platform so I can share it here. Tyson got in a couple really solid shots and Joke got him in a clinch and may have said something to him because it sure looked like Mike was pulling some punches after that.
"Remember Mike, you're getting 20M to lose. Please don't kill me" or something like that maybe.

I went through a drive-through and my order came to $7.12. I gave the young man a dime and two pennies plus a $100 bill. He left to make change and came back with my order and handed me my change without counting it out. They never count out your change like they used to, but they still should. Especially when it's change for $100. I asked him to wait a minute and let me count it. First I noticed he handed me $.12 back. I handed that right back to him. Next, I counted the bills. He had given me $50 in tens, and $50 in fives. I said “wait a minute, you gave me $100 back”. He said, “I did?”. I told him “Yes, let me count it again to be sure. Yep, you gave me $100 back. Let me give you $10 and you give me three dollars back and we’ll be square”. He seemed totally lost but trusted me to keep it straight. Afterwards I looked at the receipt and if he had just paid attention to what it said he would have correctly given me $93.88 as if to make change for $100, (ignoring the twelve cents). I suppose they don’t get to handle cash payments enough to be proficient at it anymore.

Rumor has it that this woman smokes cigars.
