  1. Didn't want to start a new thread so this is where this story is going. Dead at nursing home. Alive at funeral home. Dead at hospital. https://abcnews.go.com/US/woman-believed-dead-hospice-care-found-alive/story?id=110792361 The "unusual" incident began Monday morning, according to Lancaster County Chief Deputy Ben Houchin. The woman had been transported from a nursing home, where she had been declared dead at around 9:44 a.m. local time, to the Butherus-Maser & Love Funeral Home in Lincoln, according to the Lancaster County Sheriff’s Office. Authorities responded to the funeral home after an employee noticed the woman was breathing and "instantly called 911" at approximately 11:44 a.m. Monday, according to Houchin. Funeral home staff conducted CPR on the woman -- identified by authorities as Constance Glantz of Lincoln -- and she was transported to a local hospital alive, Houchin said. Glantz ultimately died at the hospital at approximately 4 p.m. Monday, Houchin said. Her family has been notified, he said.
  2. I like capitalism which socializes the losses but privatizes the profits. That's the best capitalism.
  3. Prometheus absolutely ruin this franchise for me. This looks to go back to the original 2 movies which is a horror movie in a spaceship. They were great but do we need another one decades later. I really want someone to make a movie worth a shit about the Creators and Aliens without the magic goo but I guess we'll maybe settle for an Aliens 2 reboot.
  4. Other than LA, the other cities are inland. I always thought of LA as a slightly prettier Houston, which is saying it's fucking ugly as shit but not quite as ugly as Houston. I don't visit inland CA so I have no idea, but what about inland CA makes it so shitty, other than the people and the meth.
  5. American dream is disappearing for the younger generation. https://amp.star-telegram.com/news/local/fort-worth/article288911228.html Roughly one out of every four single family homes in Fort Worth are owned by an investor, company or corporation, according to a city analysis of data from the Tarrant Appraisal District. The city’s report is just an estimate, because data from the appraisal district doesn’t specify if a home is owned by a company or individual. However, the city was able to make an approximation using information about tax exemptions, owner names and addresses. The city classified owner-occupied homes as those with a homestead exemption, homes where the owner’s address matched the property address, and the owner’s name didn’t include terms like LLC, LTD, Inc., or trust. Commercially owned properties were defined as those without a homestead exemption, owner names containing the previously mentioned terms, and those where the owner’s address didn’t match the property address. Using those classifications, the city found that 64,372 of the 247,485 single family homes, or 26%, in Fort Worth were owned by a corporation or company.
  6. I don't give a shit about the Electoral College. It's been the way we vote for Presidents for over 2 centuries. It is what it is. I just find it funny as shit that Republicans are so against AA and DEI but it's because of DEI/AA that their candidates even stand a chance of being elected.
  7. Seriously would anyone be fucking worried about Trump if it weren't for the Electoral College. The felony fuckstick isn't winning a popular vote, ever.
  8. Houston is the dirtiest city in America! No wai!!!!! https://www.kxan.com/news/local/2-texas-cities-are-among-the-dirtiest-in-us-study/ The study analyzed data from various federal agencies, including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Census Bureau, Department of Energy, and Environmental Protection Agency. Houston topped the list of so-called dirtiest cities due to high levels of pollution, a significant cockroach problem, and greenhouse gas emissions from large industrial plants. Researchers also cited a 2022 report from the nonprofit media organization Grist, which found that some of Houston’s “petrochemical facilities severely violated EPA safety guidelines.” 1 Houston, Texas 2 Newark, New Jersey 3 San Bernardino, California 4 Detroit, Michigan 5 Jersey City, New Jersey 6 Bakersfield, California 7 San Antonio, Texas 8 Fresno, California 9 Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 10 Yonkers, New York 11 Shreveport, Louisiana 12 New York, New York 13 Birmingham, Alabama 14 Ontario, California 15 Los Angeles, California 16 Modesto, California 17 Palmdale, California 18 Hollywood, Florida 19 Las Vegas, Nevada 20 Fort Lauderdale, Florida In Ohio, cigarette litter is a common problem across the state, according to the study. Cleveland had the highest percentage of smokers (29.1%), leading to litter problems despite strict laws.
  9. Saw this on Reddit is am surprised it took me this long to realize it. The Electoral College is Affirmative Action/DEI for Republican presidential candidates.
  10. Instead of Pagosa Springs, for the month of July we are staying the month in the mountains about 15 miles west of Golden. The house is around 9k feet which should be absolutely gorgeous weather wise. I love Pagosa Springs but the wife thinks it's a little too far from civilization (that's what I love about it) to retire. So we are going to explore the foothill towns west of Denver as ideal places to retire. Nice compromise between mountain towns and close to civilization (major airport, restaurants, shopping, doctors/dentists, etc). I'm thinking Loveland but we'll see. Anyway, counting the days until I can leave Austin/Texas for a glorious month. Retirement cannot get here soon enough.
  11. Found not guilty of murder, guilty of manslaughter. https://wiredposts.com/news/christopher-gregor-not-guilty-of-murder-but-jury-convicts-of-manslaughter-in-death-of-son-corey-micciolo/ A jury in New Jersey found Christopher Gregor not guilty of murdering his 6-year-old son Corey Micciolo. The jury did convict Gregor on the lesser charge of aggravated manslaughter, which carries a sentence of 10 to 30 years in prison in the state of New Jersey. A sentencing hearing has been scheduled for Aug. 11 . Gregor shook his head in apparent disbelief and anger after hearing the verdict and later appeared to be fighting back tears while the victim’s mother, Bre Micciolo, openly wept in court. Jurors also convicted Gregor of endangering the welfare of a child after viewing a video of him forcing his son to run on a treadmill despite the child repeatedly falling off the workout machine at the gym in his apartment complex. Micciolo filed an Order to Show Cause seeking emergency custody of Corey just days before his death, while DCPP investigated her report that Gregor abused Corey by forcing him to run on a treadmill. DCPP had seen the video, and a case worker later told police that he photographed and investigated bruising on Corey six days after that incident. A judge did not grant Micciolo’s request for emergency custody of Corey in a ruling submitted to the court just one day before his death. The preliminary findings submitted by DCPP about the March 20 incident played a crucial role in the judge’s decision, says the ruling, which was obtained by Inside Edition Digital. The ruling notes, however, that the court “does not find that … Corey is in danger of imminent and irreparable harm. Therefore, the Court does not find a temporary modification of the parties’ custody and parenting time arrangement appropriate at this time.” Micciolo dropped off Corey at Gregor’s home, as was ordered by the court, at about 9 a.m. on April 2, 2021. She told police she last heard from Gregor at about 3:30 p.m., when he told her he was taking Corey to the hospital. Two hours after he arrived at the hospital, Corey died.
  12. Don't see anything on any of the major news sites so most likely not nefarious.
  13. There's some viral flu/whatever shit going around. I got picked it up last Wed night on a business trip to Pennsylvania. Started with a scratchy throat and sinus. It's been a full week of thick sinus issues, non-stop coughing, fatigue, on and off again fever. Got tested yesterday. Not Covid or flu, doc thinks it is viral. I haven't been this sick since, well, Covid but I was feeling fine after a week with Covid. Not this shit. A week later, still feeling like absolute shit. This motherfucking cough will not go away. Gave it to the wife. She's vaxxed with the latest and greatest. Didn't prevent her from getting this shit. Reading the Austin Reddit board, this is going around in Austin. Same symptoms. Some tested positive to Covid, many didn't. The kicker is that the cough lasts 1-2 months. Yay me.
  14. Unless you have a Lambo dealership in town. Sucks to be poor.
  15. Interesting that he family's release made no mention of the ex-financee. It had to be deliberate.
