passepartout, in Rep. Lauren Boebert was escorted out of 'Beetlejuice' over reports of rude behavior

I honestly can’t remember when I heard that name the last time since i don’t use reddit anymore.

admiralteal,

Honestly, it's probably best to remember these people if you're politically engaged. They're the ones representative of the future of the Republican party. They're the ones who are pushing for all this fact-free Biden impeachment stuff. They're the ones who want to make sure teens are pregnant and trans people are dead. They're a window into a future of the country -- what little we have given their idea of governance -- that will happen if we let them.

If it was a reputable theater she would have had her own Booth.

Izzgo, in Rite Aid prepares bankruptcy filing, store closures amid opioid lawsuits

The preparations come after the company was sued by the US government in April over its failure to detect what the Department of Justice called "red flags" around its filling of prescriptions for opioids and other painkillers.

No wonder my pharmacist balks at my prescription for Vicodin. And meanwhile, I'm in too much pain to sleep, just from lumbar back pain & sciatica.

CmdrShepard,

Do you also bring in Vicodin prescriptions from 7 other doctors and refill them all at the same time?

Izzgo,

Hell no. I have a low dosage script, doc monitors closely and I don't abuse. I don't WANT to take pain meds regularly, but I must sleep, so I take my small dosage 3-4 times a week at bedtime. Then I sleep with less pain, not zero pain. But because it's ongoing for years, occasionally I end up on some pharmacist radar. Last time I had to pay out of pocket, they said insurance wouldn't cover this time.

Oh man that’s terrible all around. Sorry to hear/read you are going through that Izzgo! A friend of mine had some kind of nerve searing procedure that helped with that kind of pain, any options in that space?

Izzgo,

Nerve searing, never heard of that! I may have to look into it, thanks for the info :)

edit Ahhhh Google tells me it's called nerve ablation, sounds interesting. Much appreciate the info.

So much for the report that they wanted to tone down the craziness of the campaign to make her more electable.

RandAlThor, in Judge delays trial for Trump, others in Georgia 2020 election prosecution

This sounds like a win for Trump. 😒

quindraco,

This was always guaranteed to happen once Chesebro and Powell asked for their trials to be speedier.

neptune, in Hunter Biden Indicted on Federal Firearms Charges

So do we finally get SCOTUS to rule on drugs and gun ownership?

I wish Jesus was real so he could visit this hateful harridan and tell her just how badly she misinterpreted his teachings.

If Jesus came back the same people that rever him would nail him back on the cross and tell him to shut the fuck up.

Niiice. Lol.

ImplyingImplications, in Judge delays trial for Trump, others in Georgia 2020 election prosecution

Georgia will likely run into more problems like this. Their RICO case against Trump and his gang of bandits is massive, involving 19 defendants charged with racketeering, 41 predicate offences split across the 19 defendants in order to prove they were involved in racketeering. Not every predicate offence involves every defendant. Most of these predicate offenses involved many more people than the 19 defendants and happened entirely outside of Georgia. Several of the predicate offenses focus on speech and political activities which is going to be incredibly difficult to argue isn’t protected by the first amendment.

This case is massive and messy which means it’ll probably be a very long time until it ends.

Love the French, go get those corpos!

Stores make more on inflation than shrinkflation.

wait are you saying there are stores in France who look out for their customers first? i mean this sounds dangerously close to respect for their customers at least..

discosage, in US launches $1bn tree-planting scheme to mitigate effects of climate crisis

Too little too late

HeartyBeast,

Not if you are looking at mitigating heat in cities. A 6ft tree will be giving a decent amount of shade after 5 years' growth if you pick the right species. The trick is looking after them.

End0fLine,
@End0fLine@startrek.website avatar

That is the trick. I unfortunately see a lot of spots in our downtown area that had a tree at one point that never got replaced. I don’t really understand why a Texas city wouldn’t want trees all over the place.

Not to say they aren’t doing some things with trees right. Dallas does have a lot of green space and the new parks in and around downtown do have a lot of trees. We just have to wait to see what is still there in 20 years.

To add a little more on to this, the following (short!) video really shows you how trees can make a difference:

The best time to plant a tree was yesterday. The second best time is right now.

peanuts4life, in "We can’t afford to have children:" low pay and a high-pressure environment drive exodus of US wildfire fighters
@peanuts4life@beehaw.org avatar

My coworker is a wildland firefighter who operates out of our office in Hillsborough County, FL. (I work in conservation and environmental lands management) He makes $15.5 an hour and has to go to food banks to feed his kids plus is probably going to lose his house. He takes every opportunity to work overtime on burns.

Wildland firefighters are exposed to known carcinogens in the course of thier genuinely dangerous job. It is industry standard to use a bandana as face protection.

Poor men and women, sometimes prisoners, sometimes soldiers, are ground up and spit out in that line if work. In any just system we would pay heros a living wage. In this one we just let them die, broken and pennyless.
