North Carolina Is Investigating Trump's Former Chief of Staff Mark Meadows For Criminal Voter Fraud
He registered to vote in North Carolina for the 2020 election at an address which he's never owned and where he has never lived or visited.
I saw a picture a few weeks ago. It was like a mobile home and a ramshackle house that looks like it was maybe built in the 1940's and last given maintenance in the 1940's.
I guess he just never expected anyone to check up on it with the real owners of the property.
On the flip side, this gives us yet more evidence that there was fraud in the 2020 election....

That's a pretty neat technology. But I'd be hesitant to introduce airbursting 40mm grenades guided from 6 kilometers away to make sure they ignore cover.

I don't play FH in 6e.
But I usually have a character who can carry plenty of loot (whether that loot is cash, weapons & armor, dry firewood, or food and water).
I expect plenty of loot, even if I have to create the loot myself.
That's mostly a matter of taste. You can certainly have a wizard with 8 STR. But I figure anyone who carries a pack and goes on adventures regularly will put some muscle on their frame. I've never seen a hiker or mountain biker IRL and thought to myself, "Gee that person looks like he sold some of his starting STR back".
Though I could see a wizard buying STR with a limitation "can't be used for attacks" or something similar.

Heist Planning Assistant
Secretary (Crimes Against Children Unit) - That's a real job title from the local government. But it'd take on a new meaning for an organization such as VIPER.

My husband: I can root for a bad team. I have a hard time rooting for a stupid team. And I won't support an evil team.
I can respect that. Bad teams can result from good-looking draft picks and good-looking trades which go sour. Or from a plague of injuries. Stupidity is another level.
I can't root for the Cowboys because the owner's stupid philosophy which, as he's stated publicly many times, is to play to keep the game close until the end and to try to pull out a win in the fourth quarter.
That's stupid because playing to keep the score intentionally close until the end then try to win means that at best you're going to have a 50-50 chance of winning (unless you're so much more talented than the other team that you've just been toying with them all game).
And Jerry Jones has said repeatedly that he hires coaches who share his philosophy.
Jerry Jones played college football in the 1960's and that's how they did it back then. So he treats his ownership as primarily a nostalgia trip rather than as a business or as a football franchise which wants to adapt and win in the modern NFL.

So, she was fined 20,000,000,000 rubles?
Well, the articles were in British papers (I think BBC and the Guardian) and they quoted the 200 pounds figure. The authors were likely doing a pre-war conversion rate since there's not an overwhelmingly official one at the moment.
The cap on the fine in Russian law would be more likely listed in rubles rather than on a floating exchange rate.

No offense but that sounds like the peasants....

They showed pictures of her in court with her lawyer then fined her a bit over 200 British pounds for the stunt (I have no idea what the conversion rate it but that's at the top end of what the law allows for a fine). And there was no jail sentence.
I didn't figure that was the end of it.
But if the government disappeared her, I'd have expected them to wait another week.
Of course, she could be on the run and trying to make it out of the country or some such.

That may be, but when the team says, "We'd rather have the rapist," it's hard to take their side.
It could have bee a typo which tilted the decision:
"Would you rather have therapist or Baker?"

I literally quoted that not 10 minutes ago to a friend of mine who's a professor in Ohio. She busted a student for academic dishonesty, and he just came in and told her that he's going to fight it.

Unsweetened? Assuming you don't want to add sugar. Look at some savory dishes like braised cabbage or pork loin.
I don't mind adding sugar. The applesauce just happens to be unsweetened, it wasn't some deliberate choice.

I was given six or seven cans of unsweetened apple sauce.
Does anyone have a fairly simple recipe I could use to use them to make something tasty?
I'm not skilled as a baker or cook. (And I don't cook using wine or alcohol.)

It also looks like she has more powers than stretching and size-changing.
I'm not a huge fan of the character. But I'm not a fan of changing the power set of existing characters just because of changing formats from comics to the TV.
Does look like it could potentially be fun (as long as she leaves behind her "normal life" friends and the show focuses on her hero's journey).

It was either that, or 1.5 Llamas.
A one "L" lama, a two "L" llama, or a three "L" lllama?
Because the local fire department only sends out all the trucks for three "L" lllamas.

The US Senate just passed a bill to make Daylight Savings Time permanent year-round.
Such bills have been proposed in the past but never got anywhere. But apparently, this one passed unanimously.
Very weird.

It wasn't that long ago when people were talking on boards like this about 'don't worry about those people talking about canning abortion, they're only doing it for the votes. it'll never happen'
😕
Well, the main obstacle at the time was that there was no way to ban abortion which would hold up to even minor scrutiny in lower courts.
This "bounty hunter" model caught most everyone by surprise.
I'd heard this issue discussed in both left and right forums for over 20 years and never heard a hint of any plan going toward that route.
I don't personally think bounty hunters should hold up to scrutiny when applied to people exercising their constitutional rights. If it did, you could have anti-free speech bounty hunters and anti-free press bounty hunters and anti-"people attending church" bounty hunters.
But for now, they've got a foothold.
