Yeah, they were worried about flour being contaminated, and they implied that US or Israeli actors may have also crushed up oxy into the flour. But they didn’t actually test the flour to see if someone actually did that. They just threw out a hypothetical on social media, and people piled on without evidence to back that up.

And they kind of ignored the fact that Israel has created desperate conditions that smugglers are capitalizing on, and there is a lot of reporting about the smuggling and medical shortages.

My point is that Gaza is a conflict zone with people who are suffering and hospitals that can’t get the right drugs through Israel’s blockade.

I’m not trying to imply that Israel’s isn’t being a genocidal actor.

It was in pill form. My money is on people smuggling meds for the sick and dying because they can’t get rationed meds from hospitals.

This wouldn’t be the first time desperate people resorted to smuggling meds during a brutal war.

If someone wanted to poison people, there are much cheaper and more effective ways to do that.

It’s a brutal war and medical supplies are being rationed, if they exist at all. When hospitals don’t have meds, or can’t give rationed meds to lower priority people who are suffering, those desperate people resort to smuggling.

I’m sure there are also addicts who can trade influence or high value items for oxy, but my money on this being for the sick and dying.

This always happens in war.

Halo

Fatal flaw is that 343 Industries sucked in comparison to Bungie, and released such shitty products that the player base has fallen through the floor.

I miss couch co-op.

I should’ve clarified. Locally owned independent theaters.

That said, not everyone has those. They tend to exist in big urban areas, or very small communities. If you’re in the middle, you get the chains.

Go 20 min later if you’re going to something like an AMC theater. AMC is particularly bad.

But better that, support locally owned theaters or smaller companies in general. They generally plug the snack bar, tell you to turn off your phone, then cut to trailers.

Exactly. People got super pissed when they realized they couldn’t order the S2. That made a lot of headlines.

You can currently buy the Nintendo switch 2 with relative ease in the US, but Japan could make that much harder.

In the US, Nintendo sold 1 switch for every 2.25 people. Japan could frustrate a lot of American parents during Christmas if they wanted to.

As I recall, consoles still eat up more of the US gaming market than PCs. And mobile gaming is still the fattest slice of the pie.

Japan should just hold back Nintendo and Sony videos games, systems, and games licensed for those systems. Americans would lose their shit.

It looks like they’re getting rid of the grass that was under the seating area. They’re also putting French drains around that gathering area.

The roses and topiaries are still there, they’re just redoing the area where the chairs and tables go.

This is landscaping change is pretty low on my lists of concerns about Trump. I have a lot of greenery in my yard, and I also put gravel and stone under the seating areas.

He’s tried to fist fight the cops several times, so that’s a very real possibility.

The good news is that this guy is probably going to self-destruct. He’s constantly getting in trouble with the law.

I’d still call and ask if they could knock on his door. Keep “discouraging” him until he gets it.

Have other neighbors also call in and ask for help.

Yeah, I’ve got one of those selfish MAGA nuts living behind me. Dude lives in a house that was rebuilt after a firestorm burned 95% of the neighborhood to the ground, and he lived here during that rebuilding period.

A few 4th of July’s ago he was firing illegal mortars off his balcony and shooting firearms into the air. He was doing this once an hour for 12 hours before the cops hauled him away.

I stupidly asked him to stop because of fire risk and the fact that our pets were going nuts. He proceeded to try to fight me while yelling about freedom and other stupid MAGA shit.

He lives on the top of the hill in our neighborhood. So if he starts a fire, his place is almost sure to go. Fire runs up. He’s a fucking moron.

Report the guy to the cops or fire department if you can. Have multiple neighbors do it.

Trump keeps bitching about elections being postponed because of martial law. Because the Ukrainians don’t want polling places to be targets and Russia to try to interfere in other ways.

No, but that’s the bargaining chip that will be given in exchange for Russia giving back a large part of occupied land.

I posted this 2 days ago when it was new. I posted it because someone else posted a paywalled article and this was open to all.

Zelensky should have inquired about NATO guarantees before sending half his country into the meat grinder.

So, don’t defend your home from a foreign invader unless you’re allowed into NATO? This doesn’t make any sense.
