What did I get wrong? I looked over the article again, they were definitely selling heroin. Tons of non fentanyl related charges listed on the first article

Yeah, I've probably got 14 lbs of sugar at home just due to "Am I out of sugar? Better grab a bag to be sure."

OTOH what I don't have is 14 lbs of sugar that is going to be mistaken for anything but sugar, wonder how it was stored

Yeah, those dudes also had charges for heroin and marijuana. Only the fentanyl-based charges were dropped.

That said, I can easily see the sugar being innocent. When I was a kid, we used to store sugar in a big tupperware container to use as needed. Possible these dudes kept their sugar in something similar, and the cops just assumed that any white powder must be suspicious.

there's no mention of sugar being used for cutting. It's implied they were not otherwise some of the white powder wouldn't have been 100% simple carbs.

Oh yeah thats my suspicion based on the facts they do give us, never said the article stated that!

People use all sorts of whack poo poo to cut, is sugar never used for that purpose?

Some local schade-https://www.cornwalllive.com/news/cornwall-news/couples-terror-pensioner-neighbours-knife-1955070

A couple have lifted the lid on what it’s been like living next to an “evil” pensioner who has subjected them to a prolonged period of violent harassment which has included knife threats, dog poo throwing and attempted pet poisonings.

Gary added: “She’s very clever at turning things around. She claims that she was the victim and went around telling all her neighbours that we were saying things about them.

The schadenfreude is that the newspaper reached to her for comment:

quote:

When approached for comment by Cornwall Live, Minns said: "It is the biggest load of rubbish. I'm in total shock. I'm a 72-year-old who is five foot tall with ME and have had three major ops in 18 months.

"I'm completely shocked to the ground. I don't know why you've (Cornwall Live) had to ring a 72-year-old who lives on her own. I've been bullied. Anybody who knows me knows I'm nothing like that.

"I'll admit the drink driving. I was very stupid. I'm normally very gentle, kind and I've been totally obliterated."

When told that the story was in the West Briton, Minns said, "I want to shoot the editor in the head" before hanging up the phone.

She then called back and told reporter Chris Matthews he was "a pathetic little sh*t".

Did you see earlier in the video where the idiot was knocked down on his rear end? That's sometimes what happens in MMA, you can get a flash knockdown and come back from it.

Here, watch this video and tell me where you would have stopped the fight with the white guy winning. Sorry for the bad quality, the UFC is pretty good about getting things taken down otherwise.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VwK8oye3WgU

I would've stopped it once the guy fell over the first time, immediately after the first punch of GnP. basically ten seconds in. guy was in autopilot mode and wrestling purely on instinct from the knees. Who knows, the guy probably snapped back into it mid exchange but he was shook big time.

I don't know about the US but in the UK sugar comes in paper bags that rip easy or the glue holding the sides together fails or opps you've placed it on a wet surface.

In the US, sugar comes in paper bags that are 2 tissue-thin layers, folded over at the top, then sealed with Satan's own glue. You can't open it without destroying the packaging.

Trump made a bunch of off-the-record comments telling reporters that he was going to be dishonest dealing with Canada on a trade agreement because he wanted Canada to look bad by not making a deal.

They leaked the remarks anyway.

First we put HFCS in the catsup, and put that in the the sauce. Then we add sugar.

According to the Canadian publication, which said it obtained Trump’s comments, the president said he wasn’t making any compromises in trade discussions and offered that he wouldn’t make that stance public because “it’s going to be so insulting they’re not going to be able to make a deal.”

These are some pre-statutory rape era Woody Allen level shenanigans.

Always keep in mind that most Americans voted for his opponent and he only won because of an electoral system that gives higher weight to empty patches of dirt than densely populated cities.
