I started a new job a few months ago. It's more physically active than my last one, but several days a week we've got good donuts in the breakroom, and almost always have meh donuts. And lots of free cheesecake to take home.

... I'm just glad I haven't gained weight.

It wasn't widespread, but I've been in gas stations in Florida that sold firearms.

I've had pet mice, they're pretty neat too - the less timid ones can actually be trained to do tricks and some of them were trained to go back to their cage if they had to pee while out. They're smarter than people give them credit for, they're as smart as the dumbest rats they're just a lot smaller so they're more afraid of things.

Whereas the hamsters my friends had when I was a kid were basically all bitey assholes, but they were definitely poorly socialized.

Well, if we're living in a simulation we're all bots lol

Herbivorous Butcher lost their minds this year, lol.

That's not going to help. Atrazine is the pollutant that's allegedly "turning the freaking frogs gay" and instead of pushing for, you know, not polluting our drinking water, it was spun as a thing liberals were doing for the gay agenda rather than big ag not giving a shit about anything other than profits.

Why should any American not want a country to criminally prosecutes their corrupt former leader

Because we don't criminally prosecute our corrupt former leaders, we re-elect them.

Hackers predate the Internet. Phone phreaking, like the Captain Crunch whistle is basically the origin of hacking and hacker culture.

But your larger point is valid and there was probably more than a little cocaine involved with thinking up that story.

There's ways to mug and rob tourists in cars. You flag them down like you're asking for help (I was taught to not stop as a teenager because of how common this was), or you cause a minor fender bender in a beater although that's more commonly an insurance scam method. Growing up, rental cars in Florida had special "rental" plates, until the government changed the law to make rental cars have the same plates because criminals had been using them to target tourists (cops did too, and they weren't that thrilled by the change).

TLDR: Orlando is one of the worst car dependent hell holes and it still made the list because Florida Man can be clever when it comes to stealing from tourists.

 
   A shelter-in-place order is in effect in Brooklyn Park after two state lawmakers and their spouses were shot by someone impersonating a police officer.
  Sources say Sen. John Hoffman and Rep. Melissa Hortman were shot.
  The shelter-in-place order is near Edinburgh Golf Course, and the at-large suspect is considered armed and dangerous.
 

Something happened at Lake and Bloomington, gossip was ICE but officials are claiming the feds were there on a warrant for drugs and money laundering.

 

2023 but aged well

 

"The bill that passed the House Thursday would not prohibit ACA health plans from covering gender-affirming care outright, but it would restrict care by making it effectively unaffordable, said Lindsey Dawson, director for LGBTQ health policy at KFF. "

 

Hope this is okay here, I read the community description and I'm still not clear, but now I want to see someone slap an electric motor on and commute to work in an office chair.

 

The nips have been freed, kinda.

 

Another favorite pastime was digging a tunnel under his home; he attributed the secret of his success to "visits by elves" while he worked in the tunnel: "While I'm digging in the tunnel, the elves will often come to me with solutions to my problem."

Wikipedia cited a rather entertaining Time article as a citation for this.

Edited title, realised it worked better this way

 

2018 article but feels relevant now

 

The question definitely used to be "Have you traveled outside of the country recently?"
