Rain, and the local council not cleaning out the drains because the Tories wonāt give them the money to do it (Oxford hasnāt elected a single Conservative to the council in over 20 years).

Doesnāt seem like it, with $1 million bond. This woman doesnāt look like the other folks in the news shooting people and allowed to get out of jail easily, either. Weāll see how this case goes, in comparison to other terrible reports of unarmed people being shot because folks are afraid.

Copas told police she shot the driver because she believed she was being taken to Mexico, rather than the requested destination.
Tissue thin excuse. You canāt just drive into Mexico. You have to pass the border stations. Sure, checks on people leaving are less stringent than checks on people coming in but riding as a passenger in a car would give someone time to get out or signal for help.
Or hell, pull out her damned phone and check the route? Or ask the driver to stop at the closest lit gas station or store? Or menace him with the gun so he pulls over and lets her out?
So many options before shooting someone in the head.

Itās interesting that theyāve moved from banning āvulgar contentā to judging which vulgar content is acceptable.
The Bible has significant, serious value for minors which outweighs the violent or vulgar content it contains
Interesting, not surprising. But I wonder if this opens them to legal challenges.

The current shortage was triggered late last year when the Food and Drug Administration inspected a drug manufacturing facility owned by Intas Pharmaceuticals in Ahmedabad, India. Inspectors found egregious violations. Afterward, Intas voluntarily shut down the facility, which had supplied around half of the generic cisplatin and carboplatin in the US.
The stunning inspection report, released in January, leaves no doubt as to why the plant was shut down. In addition to various manufacturing violations, including laboratory and quality control problems, inspectors reported finding a truck 150 meters from the facility loaded with plastic bags full of shredded and torn documents. When the inspector dug into the documents, they realized they were quality-control documents and analytical weight slips.
In another instance, the inspection report notes that an employee, upon learning the FDA inspectors were walking through the quality-control lab, ran to the balance room and āimmediately rushed and tore apart balance printouts along with Auto Titrator spectrums and threw the torn pieces into the small trash container located next to the balance. Later, he threw [redacted] acid solution inside the same trash in an attempt to destroy the evidence.ā The bag of torn, acid-soaked reports was later found stuffed under a staircase.
I have ranted previously about ow profit motivation has no place in health care. My wife and I are both cancer survivors, so this hits home. I donāt claim to have a fix, but DAMNIT, people will die over this. Is that not worth something??

Ugh, that really is infuriating. And scary.
Reminds me also of some generic medications that Iāve taken, having also had the original name brand one. Sometimes Iād swear that the generic version doesnāt work as well.
