Feral and domesticated cats kill billions of birds every year in the U.S. It's a huge problem with a clear but unpopular solution.

I am choosing to believe that he made it, buuuuut I just found one dead on my porch. Similar looking, but maybe a little smaller. I just want to know where they keep finding them. That's four so far this year.

I was in the market for a truck, so I’m toying with the idea of using the credit to span the difference in price for a truck I wouldn’t be able to afford.
That or have no or next to no payment. Both are pretty cool option imo.

I'm a huge fan of the attenuator trucks. Let the idiots slam into the back of those instead of workers, their pickups, or state troopers sitting in their vehicles. Fantastic invention.

Had an incident where two drivers were racing to get into the left lane, the driver on the right ran out of road and didn’t choose hitting the crash truck instead driving 60 mph off the highway into a tree right next to our crew.

I just won a truck! 2023 ford insert whatever model I choose because the dealer that donated the truck didn’t have any in hand so I’m getting the credit equivalent to spend at that dealer.

I am SO glad I missed out on that anime stuff. I hated the Speed Racer cartoon back in the day, too. Miyazaki is fine, I guess (engaging stories, vivid palettes, and philosophical musings), but the dubbed voices, stilted cadences, and lack of fluid motion is a non-starter for me. Give me old Disney and Warner Brothers animation (i.e. pre-1970) or Kricfalusi. Hell, pre-1980 Hanna Barbera, too.

Back in 2002 or 2003 (old age is a bitch), I won WIP's Most Knowledgeable Sports Fan contest. They were pumping this contest for what felt like forever and it was getting on my nerves, so I called up, answered all the questions correctly, and made it to the next round. Went into the studio and met the whole morning team (and Jonesy) for the second round about a week later. Won that, too. Went back a week or two after that for the finals and beat everyone. Didn't miss a question during the entire process.

Won a $5,000 flat screen TV (57" - times were different). Gave it to my Pop.

Chasm of Sar (north of Montreal, Qc)
For the conspiracy theorists, a major highway through Montreal was closed for 10 hours today after a truck caught fire underneath it. The overpass is for a light rail system that hasn't even opened yet. Engineers are assessing the damage to the structure. The truck was burned completely but no body was found.

I'm not sure where you're coming from on this, and I won't assume, but I feel like it would be discriminating to not allow it, no? In my admittedly very limited experience, I think most folks with disabilities just want to be treated the same as everyone else. And according to the article, it's already been around in Europe. If it helps grow the games and awareness of certain disabilities (and athletes that overcome them) I can't see that as a bad thing.
