A friend’s work buddy is so absurdly bad with money he feels made up, so you can rest assured that when his third kid was about to arrive & he was already in debt up to his eyeballs he travelled two states to adopt three horses. I guess they hang out near the shipping crate in his yard used for their candlemaking side business.

wow, that gentleman is a kindred spirit to a guy I served with who had an ER trip after breaking up a fight between his two male german shepard and husky mixes. they went ham on his forearms after he got between them and he needed emergency care. it happened again a few weeks later but he is now woke to the emergency department matrix and just threw some gauze on there and got drunk. he isn't sure why they keep fighting, but his neighbor said their dog is in heat. his dogs aren't fixed, because as a catholic he knows that's hosed up. hopefully they just stop fighting.

also do you need permits if you're doing construction on your rental property? like, does the city care if you remove a structural member on a load bearing wall? unrelated question

I'm going to ignore the probability that this is a Grover joke, but in general gently caress around with building codes at your own peril.

Building in an Iowa town collapsed. Rather than performing an investigation - or a search and rescue effort - the town moved immediately to demolish the wreck.

https://twitter.com/Rushthewriter/status/1663577128917401607

Hours after the city government declared that there was no one left in the rubble, a woman was found alive.

https://twitter.com/tilraunir/status/1663428196010979328

The building had just passed an inspection a week previous, leading some to wonder if the rush to demolish the wreck was to conceal evidence of corruption.

Whoa those are interesting thank you for sharing. The slowness in confronting Germany pre-WWII was terrible but makes more sense in context with the horrific waste of WWI especially in France so the survivors weren’t thrilled to hear about why there was a call to fight again. The low motivation for Americans makes sense in a conflict where a treaty between Russia & France means thousands of New Zealanders must die fighting Turks because of a poorly thought out British diversionary plan.

This should be a prime example of why “defund the police”. This situation doesn’t need cops enforcing a cordon, it needs firefighters, EMTs, social workers, code enforcement, etc. Basically every civic function other than useless law enforcement, but I bet this city is spending a third to a half of its budget on cops.
