What was the deal with “40 to 50 wild hogs” a while back? Maybe a real thing?

Oh they are dangerous. Just that an assault rifle is a very poor tool to deal with them.

If you had “less than a month” for “how long would it take for the now-raised-to-12foot4 bridge to take its first bite,” step up to collect your prize:

I don’t think that counts. The metal piece could have been anything. A beer can, maybe. I think the guy who runs that website is just wishfully thinking that they didn’t take his golden goose away when they raised the bridge.

It wasn’t the bridge. It was the lower warning bar that made contact.

The truck cruised under the bridge itself.

(I hope there’s not a lot of arguments that the warning bar is an unmovable object)

In that case, the sign indicating 12’4" clearance seems false and misleading somehow :thinking:

Thank you for the reply- I know the Mormon mission is annoying but wow. Oh, what’s this, some background (wikipedia)

But their conduct here stamps their characters in their true colors. More than a year since, it was ascertained that they had been tampering with our slaves, and endeavoring to sow dissensions and raise seditions amongst them. Of this their “Mormon” leaders were informed, and they said they would deal with any of their members who should again in like case offend. But how spacious are appearances. In a late number of the Star, published in Independence by the leaders of the sect, there is an article inviting free Negroes and mulattoes from other states to become “Mormons,” and remove and settle among us. This exhibits them in still more odious colors. It manifests a desire on the part of their society, to inflict on our society an injury that they know would be to us entirely insupportable, and one of the surest means of driving us from the country; for it would require none of the supernatural gifts that they pretend to, to see that the introduction of such a caste among us would corrupt our blacks, and instigate them to bloodshed.

I see, makes perfect sense now.

Money beats righteousness every time. Le sigh. :confused:

The worst part of this is the precedent it sets. If you tweet something awful and/or offensive, and subsequently delete the tweet and apologize, then it means that no parties were injured by the original tweet. Legally speaking.

What’s next? Suing because there’s no ham in it? Or because it’s not made by someone from Hamburg?

FFS. I’m not even vaguely a vegetarian*, and I have no problem with a vegetable-based burger being called a burger. Why the ever-loving fuck do these asshats think that ag-gag laws are a good thing?

*I’ve had plenty of meatless (and sometimes vegan) meals, that I’ve eaten because I loved them.

An op-ed in which Nikki Haley explains that she didn’t understand what was wrong with the Confederate flag when she was Governor, doesn’t understand what’s wrong with it now, and doesn’t understand the criticism that has been aimed her way.

Also features some mild character assassination of Hilary Clinton, a swipe at “outrage culture,” some “child of immigrants” plaque-polishing, and verbiage of the “fine people on both sides” variety.

In short, an excellent effort from Haley to curry favor with people who would probably like to see her deported.
