What's the 5th one, where your gloved hand is flat on the ground beside it? I have something very similar growing in my yard right now and don't know where to begin to identify it

He had two investigations running simultaneously, the classified document case in the Southern District of Florida and the January 6th case in DC. In the latter case, the DOJ indicted Trump on:

  • Conspiracy to defraud the United States
  • Conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding
  • Obstruction of and attempt to obstruct an official proceeding
  • Conspiracy against rights

Wasn't this case in process when he was elected? Jack Smith was the prosecutor. My point is they absolutely pursued the evidence in criminal court

Dallas and Austin require air conditioning in units, while Houston landlords are only required to provide a cooling system if there are no screens on a unit’s doors and windows.

At least there's this, until the state steps in and makes it illegal for cities to require AC

You don't need to hold it in, but you do need to learn to set better boundaries with people. Don't be loaning people $1500, and don't be letting people who don't treat you well back into your life. You don't need to tell them you hate them, you can just cut them out of your life. You have the power to control who you interact with and how. When you meet new people, make sure you don't let the resentment you're feeling right now infect your new relationships.

You know absolutely nothing about what makes water drinkable or how we as a society have already solved this problem

Y'all, we're talking about condensate from a device specifically designed to capture water for drinking. We're not talking about drinking the water dripping from your AC. Ensuring this water is drinkable is remarkably simple.

Not only that, but Clostridium botulinum only grows in anaerobic environments, so it isn't even a remote concern in this case. That's why you don't hear about it much outside of canned food or instances where it's purposefully cultivated for medical applications.

If you're concerned with bacterial growth in the condensate of a dehumidifier, all you need to do is boil it

Study author Professor Anni Vanhatalo, of the University of Exeter, said: “We know that a nitrate-rich diet has health benefits, and older people produce less of their own nitric oxide as they age. They also tend to have higher blood pressure, which can be linked to cardiovascular complications like heart attack and stroke. Encouraging older adults to consume more nitrate-rich vegetables could have significant long term health benefits. The good news is that if you don’t like beetroot, there are many nitrate-rich alternatives like spinach, rocket, fennel, celery and kale.”

Basically, vegetables can low blood pressure, but only in older adults.

There are plenty ways to purify water once it's been obtained

In reality, Willie Nelson's audience is pretty mixed, and the Whitewater Amphitheater in New Braunfels also draws quite a mix. I think this was some corporate supervisor who decided not to hire a graphic designer and then calling it done.

Here's an article about the show. Honestly would've been incredible to see these two legends on stage in such a small venue

Dont forget the casual sexism and racism. There was a lot of that, too
