Do you see any stems with missing leaves? The main difference I see is the netting on the metal pot. So maybe there's some grazing pressure?

There's so many people paranoid about the remote possibility of dirty bombs. Meanwhile, Norfolk Southern is actually spilling tankers full of toxic chemicals that get set on fire by being incredibly negligent.

If terrorists did want to poison an area, there's plenty of insanely toxic and commercially available compounds to choose from. The fixation on nuclear fuel is an indicator of someone who is just repeating a ghost story and doesn't actually know/care what the biggest sources of danger are.

I won't actually recommend doing so, but I've definitely contemplated sending glitter bombs to prior landlords who made up charges to withhold security deposits.

That would be great if we could get most governments to pass the same rule. If adversarial governments aren't restricted by the same rules then it tips the power balance in a way that favors foreign warhawks.

I usually look up the number for something like an ftc or fbi tipline if a website absolutely forces putting in personal info.

Or a chicken drumstick for somewhat similar bone strength.

This one doesn't seem as suspicious as "suicide" in between depositions.

Except that credit scores have 0 interest in whether they're fair to the person being scored. They are profitability scores for potential lenders to evaluate doing business with someone. To that end, a lender won't care if you had a legitimate grievance against the landlord. Withholding rent even through escrow for lease violations is still likely to be viewed as problematic behavior and they wouldn't want to risk you doing the same to them.

The threat of lawsuit is usually enough to get an employment offer rescinded. It's rare for a company to want to take on a legal defense just to hire someone new. Even though they weren't actually legally binding, non-competes still limited options for a lot of people.

Overall I agree with you that this isn't as big of a deal as people make it sound, but it's easy underestimate their influence if only looking at the result of cases that go to trial. In many situations, the damage is done well before a case can go to trial.

They were talking about your use of loose in place of lose.
