I’ve moved quite a bit. Every time I move to a different state, I make it a point to register my vehicle and get a driver’s license in that state, you know, fulfill my personal legal obligations.

I have never waited longer than a few months to do this.

I can assure you that if I moved to another country I would damn well make sure that I did everything that I could do to comply to my new countries laws, and if I did not, I would accept whatever legal ramifications that would incur.

No one ever suggested that gangs don't exist. The issue was right wing media that occasionally claims that gangs have "taken over entire apartment complexes" or "taken over entire towns" or "taken over suburbs" and that US law enforcement no longer go to those apartments, subdivisions or towns and have ceded all authority.

June 27 — Tren de Aragua (The gang that certainly did not take over any apartment buildings) informs the landlords of Aspen Grove, Whispering Pines and the Edge at Lowry that the gang is now in charge of these apartment complexes.

July 3 — The attorney for CBZ Management writes a letter to Aurora City Manager Jason Batchelor pleading for help to deal with the Venezuelan gang (remember, the one that was defiantly NOT taking over apartment complexes) that has “forcibly taken control” of three apartment complexes.

Aug. 9 — The international law firm Perkins Coie — at the behest of a lender — writes Batchelor to share its investigation into alleged criminal activities at Whispering Pines apartments, a 54-unit complex in Aurora. The 10-page letter outlines a gang operation that (again, NOT taking over any apartment complexes at all) includes establishing a “lower-level” presence last year that escalated into violence and intimidation with the goal of turning the apartment complex into a steady source of income for the gang.

Please be honest with yourself T-Boy, you are ruining the name of a perfectly good Cajun meat-market and slaughterhouse and should be ashamed of yourself....on many levels.
From the article.

Looks like is speaking and using sign language at the same time.
I like the orange juice idea, I am going to add that next time!
I have been working on a Jerk Chicken recipe since my honeymoon in Jamaica ten years ago and this is what I have so far.

Someone mentioned adding coconut oil to the paste, I am thinking my next test will be adding some coconut milk to the marinade.


Ingredients:
3 LBS Bone in Chicken Pieces
8 Green Onion Stalks
1/2 Cup Oil
1/2 Cup Soy Sauce
3 TBSP Molasses
4 TBSP Tiger Sauce
4 TBSP Cider Vinegar
6 TBSP Brown Sugar
2 Habanero Chili - Stemmed
15 Sprigs FRESH Thyme
12 Garlic Cloves - Peeled
2 1/2 TBSP Ground Allspice
1 1/2 TBSP Salt
2 tsp Onion powder
2 tsp Smoked Paprika
1 tsp Ground Cinnamon
1/2 tsp Ground Ginger
1 tsp Nutmeg
3 Limes - Cut into Wedges


Directions:
1) In Food Processor, Process: Green Onions, Oil, Soy Sauce, Tiger Sauce, Vinegar, Brown Sugar, Habanero, thyme, Garlic, Allspice, Salt, cinnamon, molasses, Nutmeg Onion Powder, Smoked Paprika and Ginger until smooth, scraping sides as needed, Squeeze juice of 2 limes- Cut the last lime into wedges for serving
2) Measure out 1/2 Cup of Marinade and place in fridge
3) Place leftover marinade and Chicken in Ziplock bag and place in fridge for 12-24 hours, turning every once in a while.
4) Light Grill for direct/indirect cooking.
5) Remove Chicken from bag and place on cooler side of the grill, with breasts (if using) farthest away from heat.
6) Close lid and cook until Breasts are at 160 degrees and thighs/drumsticks are at 175 Degrees (20-30 minutes) moving chicken to plate off heat as the hit temp.
7) Brush Skin side of Chicken with half of the reserved marinade and place chicken, skin side down on hotter side of the grill, brush with remaining marinade and cook until lightly charred (2-5 minutes) moving pieces around flareups.
8) Transfer Chicken to another, clean plate and let rest for 5 minutes.
9) Serve with Lime Wedges.



By the way, I have seen some people ask about recipe apps on here. I use Paprika and really like it.

Edit: If you try it, please let me know what you think and I would be grateful for any tips/suggestions!

Well. It sure matters in my state.

"In Arizona, we keep talking about how there’s a 10,000-vote margin of victory," said Nicole Melaku, executive director of the National Partnership for New Americans, referring to Joe Biden's win there in 2020 by 10,457 votes.

Where is your data that these are DEM-leaning voters




From the article posted.

New citizens broadly skew Democratic, though the National Partnership's poll showed a range of political leanings. About 54% of respondents said they'd vote for Democratic nominee Vice President Kamala Harris, while 38% said they'd vote for Trump

Just got off of work early.

Driving in from Phoenix now.

Looking forward to hanging with some people from back home again!!!!
Great Job!

Lol @ “we are perfectly capable”
Bee Repel

This stuff is amazing.

We have a paper wasp issue out where I live, the kids would never want to get in the pool because the wasps were always landing on the water and floating around drinking.

This stuff does something to the surface of the water and they cant float, they drown.

I have honestly killed 60+ of the damn things over a 5 day period.
I used twice the amount they call for and would turn off the pump for a few hours.

I am down to 1 super intelligent wasp that never lands, he just does drive by watering,

Thanks a million.

I have been trying to remember what the name was for years!

Lol, I hope it was as good as younger me remembers.


Thanks again!

Unfortunately, no not that one.

This was probably 20 years ago.

I was thinking Orson Scott Card, but I can’t seem to find anything like that in his works.

Lol, every so often, I do a google search for them, but so far have not been able to find them.

I want to say each book was named after the planet his clone was imprisoned on.

Need Help Finding a Book

Posted by bayouh2o on 6/9/24 at 8:30 am
Trying to find a series/book that I read years ago and popped into my head a few weeks ago.

The series was 3 books, each one about a different prison planet.
Each planet had a different theme and once they put you there, something happened to your body that would kill you if you left.

One was a corporate, business type planet, i can't remember the others.

There was some type of plot against Earth, and they sent some guy there to investigate. He lived in a ship above the planets and they would send a 'clone' down to each planet that he could control.

I remember it being an interesting read and was wanting to read it again.

Do any of you folks recognize the story line?

Thanks!

Great series, I kind of stumbled into the LitRpg genre a few months ago and was glad I found this one.

Waiting on the next one to come out.

Loved the show. Cant wait for the next season.

I decided that I was going to replay New Vegas, and discovered that there is a good amount of downloadable content that I have never seen/played.

This is going to be a GREAT replay!
