      Not sure if that's an infrastructure thing or just a really hot fire thing.

      Correct. this was a fire and damage. not bad infrastructure..

      Yet another example of @travisdh1 needing to take off his tin foil hat.

      It was an INSANE sized fire. Could see the smoke for many, many miles.

          Speaking of bridges, the worst one I have ever seen was this baby:

          I almost went into the water because a pothole practically sent me airborne.

                  Very bad. It was gridlock in all directions all around the 85 / Buford Hwy corridor. The stuff of nightmares.

                    Dammit, we didn't make it there last time. Maybe we will stop by next time.

                      It's not anything special to me, but then I was born and raised in that area too. I've been to other zoos I guess none of them ever were quite that good but only a couple zoos

                            Oh look, covering up government corruption takes precedence over protecting children. No surprise there.

                                Actually, the problem here is that introducing this information as evidence would negate the counts anyway because the defendant could argue that the material was placed there with fake timestamps and such.

                                So there is nothing about protecting any children. That is not what this was about.

                                These Playpen busts are all most likely going to get thrown out because of this.

                                  Tesla passes Ford in market valuation pinning it at $49bn USD vs Ford's $46bn USD.

                                    Market valuation is big, but Tesla is barely stable. Ford is much more stable in their $46bn.

                                    Not saying Ford is great or I am a fan of their stuff, just saying that market valuations are not much of a mark and highly unstable.
