Show some respect. His name is Murphy, and he’s a damn fine cop.
I think they’re better. Way more fire, less brittle, and a more unique and much rarer stone.
First discovered 120 years ago in very tiny amounts in a meteorite crater, it wasn’t till the 90s that you could actually get a moissanite gemstone.
I am also convinced that diamonds are a scam.
There’s a whole book about the scam and it’s available online:

Was a very good read before I proposed.
641·11 months agoThe ball is in the DEA’s court. Some say it should be rescheduled by Spring:

How long the DEA might take to form a response is an open question, though experts told MJBizDaily that an initial proposed rule could be issued by the end of the year and the process finalized by next spring.
What the DEA cannot do is reject the HHS recommendation outright, said Howard Sklamberg, who once served as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s top enforcement official.
This means marijuana’s days as a Schedule 1 drug are ending. It’s only a matter of when.
68·11 months agoEven better, he is suing because the charges against him make him look like a traitor:
The filing states that as a result of the government’s actions Flynn was “falsely branded as a traitor to his country, lost at least tens of millions of dollars of business opportunities and future lifetime earning potential, [and] was maliciously prosecuted and spent substantial monies in his own defense.”
Discovery in this suit will be amazing. It’ll be interesting to see the details we didn’t get to see that led to the Judge in one case against Flynn to say “arguably you sold your country out”.
A lot. Just fried chicken chains are quite numerous:

There’s support groups for that.
They want the money, they just don’t want the money to be tied to feeding the poor.
Look at what happened with TANF block grants:
over time, states redirected a substantial portion of their state and federal TANF funds to other purposes, to fill state budget holes, and in some cases to substitute for existing state spending. Even when need increased during the Great Recession, states were often unable to bring the funds back to core welfare reform services and instead made cuts in basic assistance, child care, and work programs.
and
These overwhelmingly Republican-led states used money from the federal Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program (Tanf), better known as welfare or direct cash aid, to fund the activities of anti-abortion clinics associated with the evangelical right.
It’s because they want the aid money instead to do what they want with it as opposed to directly giving the money to needy families who would likely only use it for food:
If the Biden Administration and Congress want to make a real commitment to family well-being, they should invest in already existing programs and infrastructure at the state level and give us the flexibility to tailor them to our state’s needs"
Same vibes as this
"we had a vote and all my Nazi rhetoric using buddies agreed it was cool”

Easy way to think about it is that 12 is actually the 0th hour.
0 AM and 0 PM make more sense.
I wish everyone just used military time.
0:00 to 23:59. Nothing to screw up.

Some may seriously joke about that “Oh I don’t use X foodstuff, it doesn’t directly affect me”
Demand for food is quite inelastic. If folks who use sunflower seed oil can’t get any, they’ll flock to canola oil, peanut oil, or whatever other oil is available and drive it up in price.
Same deal with wheat and other crops.
Heck, we saw the same thing during the GPU shortage! People who would have bought mid or high end GPUs were priced out, so cards like the GTX 1030 we’re selling for $250!
Even the GTX 3050 and RX 6400 should have been bottom of the barrel $90 to $150 cards but ended up in the $250 to $300 range instead
Something that only Charlie Sheen can save us from.

There’s a difference between authorizing sales of weapons and authorizing gifts of weapons.
