I love geography.
Here is a little known fact which blows minds:
If you look very closely, some parts of Western NC, Eastern Maine, Upper Michigan, Upstate New York, bits of Alaska, and North Texas are in the same USDA plant hardiness zone... All geography is local.
Motivation is the hardest thing in the world
These business owners have more to lose by reopening than they have to gain
because their government does not believe they should be protected and supported
Goodbye Alain - take the insurance check and have a great life
עוד עדות של בעלת עסק שאיבדה את כל עולמה. פה מדובר באלין לי (במקור הואנג) בת 50. דור שני או שלישי למהגרים מסין. היא דוברת צרפתית מושלמת עם מבטא פריזאי מושלם. את המסעדה הקטנה הזו ברובע העשירי קנתה לפני 7 שנים מיהודי זקן ממוצא אלג׳יראי (בשם ר. חנונה). אלין מספרת שלקראת השעה 14:30 כשהם ראו שהרחוב הופך מסוכן הם הורידו את כל שבכות הברזל ונשארו בפנים. תוך זמן קצר הם שמעו חבטות עזות והשבכות הורמו מכל הכיוונים. הפורעים (שהיו 6 או 7) חבטו בחלונות עד ששברו אותם והיכו אותה עד אבדן הכרה (שימו לב לפנס בעין ימין שלה). היא טוענת שמה שהפתיע אותה זה שהראשון שנכנס לתוך המסעדה היה ילד בן 12 ואחריו חבורת בנות צעירות עם שקי קניות. הם שדדו כל מה שאפשר היה לשדוד, שברו את הכל והציתו.
Great pic and looks like the opening of a hero journey akin to Kung Fu Panda
"Kamehameha Krusader" finds his calling
This guy embodies one of the most popular archetypes used to bully white men throughout the world. Yet after being attacked, he gets back up, stands his ground, and faces his attackers to defend whatever remains of his store.
His attackers, meanwhile, behave like a pack of hyenas. Whatever bravery they have is only because of their numbers and their de facto anonymity — police wouldn’t arrest them anyway.
So, the guy who looks like the punchline of a thousand jokes actually displays more honor in a single moment than literally the entire recorded history of his attackers.
He has no crowd to hide behind, no numerical advantage, and seemingly very little left to protect. What has happened to him will either be ignored or excused as having been caused by some kind of socio-economic problem which is ultimately his fault anyway. Nevertheless, he stands there.
I would take one thousand Jacques Blacks before taking a single refugee.
It's not too late for Europe
But it's too late for the "gradual" solution
Missed opportunity
🇮🇹 NOW MILAN IS ERUPTING TOO
The wave of unrest across Europe is spreading.
More than 5,000 protesters took to the streets of Milan over soaring fuel prices and low wages.
And things turned violent.
Rocks, firecrackers and fireworks were hurled at police. Bus shelters and windows were smashed, with riot officers moving in to break up the clashes.
Different countries. Similar frustrations. Same "solutions."

I never use built in navigation so this is a feature
But how are the cup holders?
On the very expensive Porsche Mission S you have to use your phone for navigation and entertainment, like on the cheap $20k Slate truck, or an old car.
Hi ho Silver - check in on the beeves and fenceline, get back to me with a game plan

My school in the Philippines had a ~20' + python crossing the road between the grass
F250 full of students in back drove up on top to pin it, windows down
python rose up and started smashing the windshield and truck violently - teacher/driver frantic rolling up windows/drive
