People have certainly left the country at some of these sites. But they are (almost) always brought back so it isn't a great escape route.

The Onion got new owners earlier this year, and they seem serious about making it a sharp and relevant publication

Loved that show.

In a similar vein, I'm curious about the modern consensus on "you guys," as in, "what do you guys want to do this weekend?"

Let's kick it up a notch and get Raytheon working on a helmet-mounted Phalanx that fires .22LR. The old farts at the trap & skeet range are gonna be in for a surprise when I show up with that bad boy.

Load it with Dragon's Breath shells and add a manual trigger, and it becomes the latest craze for New Year's parties!

This is irrelevant to whether we make a change, but I'm still curious: do any other major Lemmy instances do this? I checked a handful of the big ones and they all have mod names hidden in the modlogs.

Or result in US businesses moving their trade dollars from tariff-affectrd countries to others that could really use the money, like Mexico or Central America.

Here in the US, I first learned about this from a Japanese exchange student. We quickly told him not to try it. Dude would have gotten his ass kicked by whomever he poked.

 

HELENA, Mont. (AP) — An 81-year-old Montana man faces sentencing in federal court Monday in Great Falls for illegally using tissue and testicles from large sheep hunted in Central Asia and the U.S. to illegally create hybrid sheep for captive trophy hunting in Texas and Minnesota.

However, the sentencing memorandum also congratulates Schubarth for successfully cloning the endangered sheep, which he named Montana Mountain King. The animal has been confiscated by U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services.

“Jack did something no one else could, or has ever done,” the memo said. “On a ranch, in a barn in Montana, he created Montana Mountain King. MMK is an extraordinary animal, born of science, and from a man who, if he could re-write history, would have left the challenge of cloning a Marco Polo only to the imagination of Michael Crichton,” who is the author of the science fiction novel Jurassic Park.

The highest peak at Great Smoky Mountains National Park is officially reverting to its Cherokee name more than 150 years after a surveyor named it for a Confederate general.

The U.S. Board of Geographic Names voted on Wednesday in favor of a request from the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians to officially change the name Clingmans Dome to Kuwohi, according to a news release from the park. The Cherokee name for the mountain translates to “mulberry place.”

Best of luck to Mozilla. Their line on the chart may end soon if they lose funding from Google.
