Always makes me nervous the times I’ve used gasoline in my Coleman lanterns. I know they are made for it but still don’t seem right.

Madison County Alabama has been using satellite images for years to do property tax appraisals. They look for new structures like swimming pools or additions so they can raise your taxes.

Don’t know if your story is right or not but many US owned ships are foreign flagged to take advantage of different rules and tax laws. All countries do this.

I think you mean Vince Flynn who wrote the Mitch Rapp series.

Dude was a very good writer. Kyle Mills took over the series for awhile. Not sure who does it now. Kyle Mills is also a very good author.

My son was an AGR at Auburn University and around 2018 he said that Ella Langley would come by the fraternity house and pick on the guitar and drink some cold beers with them. I think she may have been in the school of forestry. He said he had kind of forgotten about it until she all of sudden got really popular.

Saw one at my farm last summer. 1st one I'd seen in a long time.

Same here last one I saw was at our farm back in August. We have an overhang on our shop with two highbay lights we leave on at night and it attracts a lot of moths.

Shut the motor down to watch and sure enough it swooped down and caught a fish and flew off with it.

I was flying my drone pretty low over a lake looking at a big group of ducks and Bald Eagle flew under the drone grabbed a duck right in front of the drone and flew off. Drone was set on photo not video and I didn’t get shite. Would have been an incredible video.

Another shot of one of the Ospreys.

That’s what I was wanting to get some pictures of the bald eagles stealing fish from Osprey. I have seen them take rabbits from red tailed hawks several times when we are cutting beans.

Watching the ospreys do a little fishing today and this one had about all he could handle. He really struggled getting it out of the water.

re: A female chemistry major got an 'F' on a required DEI course on Gender Studies

This is a repost of a 2023 viral TikTok video of University of Cincinnati chemistry major, Olivia Krolczyk, who received a zero on a feminism project proposal (focused on trans athletes in women's sports) for using "biological woman," which her professor labeled heteronormative, exclusive, and transphobic.

Krolczyk appealed the grade, leading to university intervention; she ultimately earned an A in the course after the incident sparked national media coverage and debates on academic bias in gender studies.

RePosted amid ongoing culture war discussions, the video has reignited online outrage with over 5,000 likes and hundreds of replies urging lawsuits, underscoring persistent tensions between biological terminology and inclusive language mandates in higher education.

If you paid at the pump then car should always be moved to a parking space after filling with gas no matter how busy the place is. That is in no circumstance a parking spot.
