The charges were ultimately dropped, and she was “released into the freezing cold … on Christmas Eve with no way to get home” after her lawyer provided bank records proving that she was in Tennessee at the time the fraud occurred in Fargo, the complaint says.

You know, the shitty "detectives" could have done their due diligence and checked this and all of this bullshite could have been avoided. I hope she bankrupts the whole damn town.

hire shitty IT staff and then is what happens

It isn't just the NWS radars, either. They are now having regular problems with airport radars.

Surprised it hadn't been mentioned. NOAA and the national weather service took a staffing hit under DOGE last year and lost 17% of their staff.

There were claims from NOAA that it was going to affect the accuracy of their forecasts.

"Legislators and administrators" it says have started hiring back some of the staffing so maybe they cut too deep there. I didn't know they had started trying to hire some of the layoffs back but don't care enough to dig further.

The buyout/early retirement hurt the most. They lost a lot of the most experienced people they had. They are re-hiring now, and will likely wind up close to the same number they had before the cuts, just with less experience.

Another issue is the staff shortages and funding cuts have resulted in a drastic cut in weather balloon launches that has removed a significant chunk of data from short term forecasting. It has 100% affected forecasting at the regional and local level.

ETA: I also believe it is impacting PM and repair of infrastructure, particularly radars. The issues popping up regularly now with radars across the country seem to be taking significantly longer to resolve. Look at the 5 or 6 radars across the northern Gulf that have now been down for nearly two days due to a "communications" issue. There have been a lot of those issues in recent months.

They doomcasted Wednesday thru the weekend for all of last week. They also forecasted a cool front for this midweek which is no longer happening.
They should just quit forecasting beyond a couple of days. They aren’t very good at it.

I believe the broadcast Mets are falling victim to their new, shiny......and expensive......proprietary AI models. Corporate spent a boatload of money on it and I don't believe it is ready.

There are some other underlying issues that affect the NWS/NOAA moreso than the broadcast guys.

We didn't even get a quarter of an inch of rain at my place in north AL last month. It was the driest September we've had in quite a while after the rest of the Summer being above normal. October has started off the same it looks like with just about all of this weekend's rain staying either West or just to the South of us. October is historically our driest month.

Let's see if the PETA types are willing to join forces with a Loomer type. If they do it will be begrudgingly.

ETA:
PETA may have an out. Loomer's isn't the first of such investigations/complaints. One was made over a year ago with video of the processor's actions. It has been reported and shared widely enough that the FDA should already know and should have already done something about it.

ETAA:
I think it is important enough to note that it looks like the bulk of Loomer's report was lifted from this report from Animal Outlook. The pic she used in the post comes from the above link. As far as I can tell she has no affiliation with Animal Outlook. Their video was posted to YouTube and their website on August 24, 2025.

What if he is right?

Interesting case. An Omani national, flight left from the UAE, the attack occurred over Saudi Territory, and the target was Israel.

That is an international clusterfrick of a case.

ETA: Throw in an Indian pilot victim.
