    While I don't think this will ever go through, the fact that this is even brought up in the media means there are people thinking about this.
    We have a problem with bobcats, mountain lions and bears as it is.
    Imagine if hunting was outlawed.

    I read the whole “About IP13” …… that’s really really far left right there. 🤦‍♂️

    Nah, we'll have overcrowding. Best to parole them.

    And that Crap is full of so much salt.
    I used to think sugar was the problem with most foods, but salt is so much worse.

    My daughter got her identity stolen apparently and the person got a speeding ticket last week.

    This is going to be fun to straighten out.

    Called the sheriffs department this morning to get this straightened out. Went though 8 menu items, none matched what I needed then bingo “press 0 for everything else”. Woman answered and I told her what was going. She says how did you get this number? I told her the menu transferred me, then she tells me its the desk phone at the 911 dispatch. She laughed it off and told me 911 couldn’t help me.

    She transferred me to the clerk of court, they transferred me to the DA’s office and they transferred me to the highway patrol.

    Good luck. Someone stole my wife's purse, a long time ago, and we got contacted by the THP that they had the wallet, etc., a few months later. Called the number they'd left on the phone, nobody knew nuthin'. She dealt with it for awhile, then one day about 4 or 5 years later we get another THP call, they did indeed have the wallet about 2 towns over. We got it back about 6 years after it went missing.

    Waiting to hear from the officer. He has to confirm his paperwork if that’s right the then has to verify that she wasn’t the person he gave the ticket too, then we’ll have to file a report with the sheriff.

    It's remarkable how one news story after another studiously avoids mention of Tommy Bryant's party affiliation.

    Maybe because he can't be party affiliated in a city election....

    "While city elections are nonpartisan in Alabama, the state Democratic Party issued a statement calling for Bryant's resignation"

    Not everything is a conspiracy.

    It's as if no one has read a science fiction book before. The UAE is going to be sending drones into clouds, to electrocute them, to make artificial rainfall.

    60 years ago the US was dropping silver particles into clouds to do the same thing.

    How many clouds do they have in the desert, they should be looking into desalination research

    oh yes, you can make it up:

    Survey: 8% have falsified or fabricated data
    An estimated 8% of scientists who participated in an anonymous survey of research practices at Dutch universities confessed to falsifying and/or fabricating data at least once between 2017 and 2020. More than 10% of medical and life-science researchers admitted to committing this type of fraud, the survey found.

    Got a link to the study?

    So what we are finding is that people lie to support their cause? But it didn’t specify what they were lying about. Could be something you’re for or against.

    Studies are usually rigged by the people conducting them to suit the preferred outcome of the entity paying for the study. The days of honest researchers are gone. Same as honest journalists. Didja notice they stopped calling themselves reporters a long time ago?

    This study surveys researchers in the Netherlands.
    Begs the question: Have similar surveys researched researchers here? Elsewhere?

    Thanks.
    Handy to see suspicions verified and quantified.
