Absolutely agree, I'm not even sure why GoFundMe is willing to collect money for this dillweed.

Technically you can just get used litter without odor control from someone who has a cat. Cat urine will keep rats away all on its own. Just give them a bag of dollar store litter and put the whole box where you need control. Works for months.

Edit: we have chickens and rats have been an issue with getting into their feed. The chickens don't care about the smell but the rats stay away.

Prior to joining Oracle, Maxson served as Executive Vice President and Group Chief Financial Officer at Schneider Electric, a global leader in electrification, automation, and digitalization with more than $45 billion in annual revenue. Since joining Schneider Electric in 2017, the organization has transformed from an electrical equipment supplier into a digital energy technology partner for key segments, like utilities and datacenters

Yup, there it is. For her industry contacts for getting power for datacenters. Not enough electricity to go around any more, Oracle needs people with connections in high positions.

Why doesn't Google just pay it and absorb the cost like shippers do with tariffs?

Finally, a unique speech not copied from Michelle Obama.

Turns out, Michelle and her husband were never on Epstein's island, so nothing to deny.

Fun fact, when recording the fake moon landing, Neil Armstrong was such a stickler for details that he refused to film it unless they filmed it on location.

It comes from the 1994 film, The Crow. A character named Tin Tin (played by Laurence Mason) calls the sleazy pawnbroker Gideon a "chrome-dome child-molesting saprophyte". A saprophyte is a biological term for an organism that feeds on dead or decaying organic matter, such as certain fungi or bacteria. At the time the movie came out, I had worked mids for years and considered myself a mushroom because I never saw daylight and my job constantly gave me shit. I needed a gamer tag and it seemed a fitting moniker at the time.

Schumer said, “I have many jobs as leader … and one is to fight for aid to Israel, all the aid that Israel needs.”

Women after giving birth sometimes have much larger breasts especially after breastfeeding. I started with a small tiddy goth girl, then after breastfeeding two daughters, my wife is now a big tiddy goth girl.

Not ultralight gear list (lighterpack.com)

I'm new to the community and thought a little activity on the community couldn't hurt!

I am a pretty large guy (6'2", 240lbs) who's also pushing 50. As much as I'd like to do ultralight, I struggle to keep my base weight around 20lbs because I need large gear and sleeping on the ground is not that sexy for me. Plus... I have a chair because sitting on the ground is about as unsexy as sleeping on the ground is. I started off with a 50+lb pack and have gotten better gear as I've gotten more into backpacking.

I've done the CA section of PCT and now I do section hikes on the AT as I live on the east coast now. My trail name is JoePaca, and if you've seen me at a camp, I'm pretty easy to remember.

I'm happy to give honest opinions on any of the gear in my list, but I'm pretty happy with all of it.
