This is the correct answer. Getting tested is one thing. Treatment, of course, is when you should be making this post.

I don’t know about this story but I can tell you credit scores are the biggest scam out there. I had an OT worthy 850 and out of the blue it dropped to 650. Pulled my report and a company where I had been an executive years prior folded and defaulted on a credit card. I had signed the application and Chase slapped the default on my personal credit report. I called and disputed but they said no. You signed you pay. Didn’t care that I don’t work there anymore. They actually told me I should get the company to pay the card off. Unreal.

I recently got a new mortgage and that score definitely hurt my rate. frickers.

You also have to love that the very company giving me a score is trying to sell me a service to raise my score. How is that not a conflict? Not to mention the classic “you don’t have enough credit” negative mark. So I don’t have debt and that’s bad?

So it’s a giant drone with an enclosed seat for a person? Not the craziest idea.

Military is working on something like this for wounded soldiers so they don’t have to fly helicopters into a firefight. They have prototype ground and air drones that take a guy on a stretcher off the battlefield and back to the hospital.

I would be down for a ground wheeled pod that takes me home from the bar (self driving Uber but personally owned and small / economical). But a flying drone seems excessively risky.

The names are funny and all but read that report for what happened. It’s fricking sad. Dude just straight up tried to kill three people over some pot money. Say what you want but those people aren’t like my people.

I read that whole thing not seeing who posted and thinking it was a dude. I was saying to myself: “The guy hiring has the gay and wants some of OP.”

You joke but the price of eating out is starting to delve back into the range of luxury. Pretty soon people never eating food prepared by others will be the norm again.

It’s almost like a Free Market Economy works. Restaurants were a rare luxury years ago. Entrepreneurs lowered prices to draw in more and more people. Once business was up, they raised prices and profits went up. Then people begin eating out less because prices are high. Soon profits will drop and they will streamline and lower prices. Capitalism at its finest. Damn socialist progressives don’t get it.

That’s like a semester of ECON 101 there. You are welcome. LoL.

You want to walk off the job? Fine. You want to picket? Fine. Chant and sing songs, yell? Fine. Stopping my car and holding me hostage by standing in the road? I will run you over.

You see? THIS is the commentary I come to the OT for.

Flight tracking data from FlightAware showed the plane flying out from the Gulfport airport just after 5:40 p.m. Minutes later, the plane started descending quickly over land, dropping 2,200 feet in about 10 minutes.

---

Headline "2,200 feet in 10 minutes" on NOLA.com and some other sites.

I thought to myself that doesn't seem so fast. Two minutes on Google and a call to a pilot buddy confirmed that normal descent rate in a Cessna is 500 feet A MINUTE. So 2,200 in 10 minutes is normal / slow.

The media cares not if they are deceiving you. The OT remains my primary source of fairly unbiased local news.

I love this. Hey now, no one get excited. We are only here to stop foreign terrorists. Locals are A-OK to shoot the place up and rob / steal.
