Yeah, I saw this getting spread around and facepalmed, I'm a carrier and it's basically not a change -- just logistics changes that can have an impact +/- a day. When first class mail went off the next day standard a few years ago is when this really changed, and it was about business efficiency and prioritizing packages. I also facepalm when I see ballots in outgoing the day before an election, but we run those separate to the county seat or a closer hub office to get them delivered on time.

Rawstory sensationalizes small bits of real info, constantly. He'll probably pop up tomorrow.

I got curious and looked for an explanation, apparently ducks are illegal goods in The Far Side. The wolves are even snorting quack.

Cattle numbers are definitely down, but monopolization of ranching has been carrying on at a pretty good clip as well. I think it's a safe bet that the new point of equilibrium they find will still be more expensive, even inflation adjusted. There's a similar trend across most agribusiness that I've seen, especially with farms going out of business in droves because of the pandemic.

I'm imagining Mads Mikkelsen at different sizes and scales. Once he becomes as big as godzilla, there's no hope.

I'm not sure this had anything to do with transphobia. The attackers just sound homophobic; they probably saw her hair and don't know or care that the slur they picked isn't for girls. It's sad that she's going through this. Their girlfriends robbing them after they had been beaten down speaks volumes about what sort of people they are.

Well, checking for testicular and breast cancer can be a mutually enjoyable process... Not sure you want that particular mental image for this case, though.

This torture method is a bit of a stretch...

This is a really cool project, but I can't help but wonder about the numbers. 1,400/month for a 1 bedroom when there are rentals for <1k nearby, closer to Pittsburgh proper. And the same price point will get you a place inside the city, if that's where you work.

Ok, so it's flat and on top of another object, like a board on a wheel! The surface is flat but wobbles a bit.
