Tuna means prickly pear cactus fruit in Spanish, I've heard it called that pretty often in Texas

Florida has BBQ? I've been there a bunch and have never heard of it

Nah, fuck that shit. Texas politics suck hard, but not like Florida suck. The Texas Legislature is out of their minds, but they still follow rules of procedure. Florida's government is fucking gone

Afaik mail-in ballots were not the deciding factor in the 2020 election, which Trump lost handily. He was never ahead on election night, though that wouldn't stop him from claiming it

Until very recently, Republicans had an edge in mail-in voting, however after Trump started deriding it, a not small number of Republican voters stopped using it.

Also skewing the numbers is that Democratic-led states largely allow everyone to vote by mail if they'd like, whereas Republican-led states strictly limit mail-in voting to people who meet certain criteria. This means that Democrats are overrepresented when you look at a national count. Oregon and Washington don't even have in-person voting, only vote by mail. Republican-led states limiting mail-in voting predates Trump though, because they try to limit anything they can related to voting.

This has become the culture at many if not most large companies. Only the people who are willing to totally debase themselves and incessantly parrot the company line rise to the top, and that has an inverse relationship with talent.

Honey-cured meats are just salt-cured meats with a dash of sugar for flavor, fyi

What kind of information are you looking for?

 

The Federal Aviation Administration has closed airspace over El Paso and parts of southern New Mexico for 10 days under a national defense designation, offering no explanation for the rare move. The FAA order states aircraft violating the restriction could face interception and possible use of deadly force.

This must be what it felt like to develop a frontal lobe in 2016 when Lil Yachty, Lil Pump and and the other Lil rappers were blowing up.

 

This is great news for our city. Urban Alchemy demonstrated they were run like a criminal enterprise, and kept people silent through retaliation and intimidation. There's a mountain of "allegations" against them, I'm glad something finally stuck. Kudos to the city for taking this step, other cities are having similar problems with them but haven't gone this far yet.

 

The evidence released so far suggest Tyler Robinson could potentially be linked to a movement like the Order of Nine Angles or 764.

"For the last couple of decades, we’ve been using this term sustainability. The inference of sustainability is we’re going to be able to maintain things, and that’s just not realistic,” UT-Austin’s urban ecosystems expert Stuart Reichler said. “The more realistic idea is one of resilience. We have to adapt. We’re already fucked.”

 

"The Safeway circular has treated me very badly. They say you can taste the homestyle difference, but you cannot, and there’s no way that ham can be $8.99 per pound after I brought grocery prices to an all-time low. However, that’s nothing compared to the horrendous ham prices we saw under Biden.”

Indeed CEO Hisayuki "Deko" Idekoba sent a message to employees stating that roughly 1,300 positions will be eliminated from the company.

"AI is changing the world, and we must adapt by ensuring our product delivers truly great experiences for job seekers and employees," Idekoba's email stated. "Delivering on this ambition requires us to move faster, try new things, and fix what's broken."

Idekoba said the layoffs will impact...those within the Research and Development, Global Operations, and People and Sustainability sectors.
