The Justice Department announced today that is has opened a pattern or practice investigation into the Louisiana State Police (LSP). This civil investigation will assess whether LSP uses excessive force and whether it engages in racially discriminatory policing. The investigation will include a comprehensive review of LSP policies, training, supervision, and force investigations, as well as LSP’s systems of accountability, including misconduct complaint intake, investigation, review, disposition, and discipline.

And maybe a look at knuckle tats.

Thank you for those instructional websites. I have learned a great deal about the workings of congress and US politics from them.

And nearly pissed myself laughing, of course. :smiley:

With full acknowledgement re confirmation bias, I can tell you that I’ve been taking lions mane (Hericium erinaceus) for almost a year and I definitely feel the difference. A friend who has directed his dad to take lions mane has noticed his dad’s improved cognitive function after a year of taking the supplement.

I am only one case study.
YMMV.

I live in the Austin Sprawl, home of Whole Paycheck’s corporate headquarters.
I have friends who work there.
It’s easy to live without them. I don’t shop there. I won’t shop there.
I am a member of a food co-op in Austin.

ETA:
added wiki link to the fungi
added Trad Chinese Medicine usage in Researchgate, and some links at GoogleScholar
